the matter on the table until
Wednesday evening, when a spec
ial mettings is being called.
A letter from the Arctic GLub
in regard to the securing of pro
perty near the old Brewery site
for a tennis court was read and
upon investigation of the city
plat, it was found that the pro
perty in question is embraced in
a patented mining claim, over
which the cty does not have sur
lace rights. It was therefore or
dered that the communication be
returned to the Arctic Club with
regret and suggestion that pos
sibly a more suitable site could
be chosen, and in which the city
might assist.
A discussion ensued over the
plans and specifications for the
new addition to the school build
ing, particularly as to the con
struction of a new entrance and
exit to the building and the use
for space for a hallway. Numer
ous persons expressed their views
on the subject, but owing to the
fact that the bids are to be open
ed Wednesday night for such con
struction it was the opinion of
the council that the matter
should rest as is. Some belief
was expressed that the use of
this space w'ould handicap stor
are room in the addition, while
others felt that the added safety
through the construction of an
additional fire exit would more
than warrant the use of such
space.

CONSOLIDATED OLYMPIC LINE. Nome, Alaska.
Dear Sirs:
In answer to your request to the general public
for advertisements to be printed in The Nugget, it seems to
the writer, who heartily appreciates what you have already
done for this section of the world, is its own best advertise
ment. I, therefore, suggest a simple statement of what I call:
• SHIPPING FACTS
THE CONSOLIDATE OLYMPIC LINE,
1st. Established a new steamship line to Bering Sea ports,
this spring, at rates I understand average 10% or more lower
than the rates whe have been paying.
2nd. The old company met your rates about the time the
El Capitan sailed.
3rd. I figure the four ships counting the El Capitan, which
have already made trips to Seward Peninsula, have carried
t1 at least twenty thousand tons.
4tb. Figured at only $4.00 per ton less than the old rate
will mean $80,000 saving already this summer which is less
than half gone.
# 5th. 1 do not believe there is anyone who could help but
support the source from whence this saving came and thus
perpetuate the same.
Signed: A Friend

The mighty problem confronting the Navy in raising the Submar ine Squalus is presented in this
artist’s conception of the task. First the craft will be raised fro m the ocean bottom by pontoons,
floatng on the surface, then turn ed around and headed for shall ow water until it grounds. The
operation will be repeated until the sub is in water less than 100 feet deep. There the task of re
moving dead and raising the era ft will begin.
