Don’t Annoy Yorr Neighbor Bv Borrowing His Paper
Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
The regular meeting of the
Board of Directors of the North
western, Alaska Chamber of Com
merce met' in the Nevada Grill.
Tuesday, Aug. 2). President B. J.
MoConaghv called the meeting to
order.
The entertainment committee
I reported on the reception and
lentertaiment of Gov. Ernest
Gruening and on motion the re
port was received and placed on
file.
Secretary Polet brought up
the subject of compiling the
needs of our section and to pre
pare a brief of same to present
to Governor Gruening in accord
ance to his request for informa
tion in his office at Juneau.
After discussion the Secretary
was instructed to confer with the
Legislative Committee of the
Chamber and prepare a prelimin
ary program to be presented at
the next meeting, for discussion
by the Board.
Captain Pete Wold of the mo
torship Washington was a guest
of the Chamber and on being re
quested to address the Chamber
he gave the Board some very in
teresting and enlightening inform
ation of the Good News Bay
section. He told of the establish
ing of the town, of Platinum and
gave interesting data on the min
ing and dredging of platinum.
He also stated that recently they
have made a gold strike in that
section and will be able to pro
duce gold as well as platinum.
The present production will
amount to over a million dollars
and he prophecied that they will
double that in the near fuutre.
Captain P. Wold is an old resi
dent of Nome having come to
Nome in 1906 and for a number
of years operated in Bering Sea
and Siberia on many local boats.
In discussing transportation
and mails. Captain Wold was sur
prised to find that transportation
coastwise is almost extinct and
that we are having so few boats
coming from Seattle. He recited
the recent agitation in Washing
ton which resulted in the estab
lishment of a mail service from
Seward to the Westward, Dutch
Harbor and later extended to
Good News Bay by his efforts. He
vouched the possibilities and will
ir.gness to come again next year
with his large boat the Motor
ship Fern which is now engaged
in carrying the mail from Se
ward to the westward to denote
the feasibility and possibility of
establishing intercoastal trans
portation service. He stated that
if the Post Office Department
would establish another mail
route to extend through the Good
News Bay service to Nome it
would be possible to serve the
rest of Bering Sea and give the
ALLIS-CHALMERS faster DIESEL power

Second Division the service that
it is entitled to. The industries
of this section and the Kusko
kvvim, Bristol and Good News
Bays would benefit immeasur
1 aibly. The establishment of such a
route would be possible for com
munication of mail, freight, and
passenger service up and down
the coast from Nome to Dutch
Harbor touching on the follow'
ing points: Nome. St. Michael,
Lower Yuk'on, Hooper Bay, Nel
son Island, Nunivak Island, Plat
inum. Good News Bay, Dilling
ham, Nushagak, Naknek, Port
Heiden, Port Moller. Unalaska,
and Dutch Harbor.
As it is at present, while half
of these points are a part of the
Second Division they are entire
! ly inaccessaibe and impossible to
reach. Probably by going to Seat
1 tie and returning on the North
Star if you are fortunate to ob
tain a permit to travel on said
i Government boat you can reach
(these out of the way places. It
I was pointed out at the meeting
i that the establishment of such a
route and passenger service that
! it would open up the possibility
of a tourist loop that would be
1 new, interesting and of such a
magnitude that a tourist leav
ing their party at Seward could
go via Fairbanks to Nome and
again returnnig to Seward by
the Coastal Route.
