The gas sc hooner I Forman, one time

\ to relay afternoon after a voyage to the
i Siberian coast and Bering straits. The
^ Herman is in command of Capt. Peter
, son and is on route to- the trading sta
tion of the Liebes Company in the Point
Barrow section with supplies, owing to
tin ice conditions in Arctic waters the
vessel was unable to proceed hut a short
distance through the straits, and will
wait until later before attempting to
reach far northern waters. The Her
man traded along the Siberian coast to
a point some distance beyond East Cape i
while making its way north but found
ihe trading rather poor. Alter going as
far north as was permissible, the Her
man proceeded to tin* American side and
came south, lleavv ice was encountered
| along the entire coast from Cape Prince
I of Wales to a point some distance west
• l Sledge island and there was no pos
sibility of touching at any of tlie coast
settlements until Nome was reached. The
schooner will follow nit* ice northward on
leaving here.
Members of the Nome Chamber of
Commerce »r • jubilant over tin a.:
nouncement ti.at the addition.12 road ap
propriation of $500,000 lias passed the
house of representatives as it furnishes
not only a pmspcct of securing at least
1 portion «»t the road construction so
much needed in litis district but is also
m tin nature of a victory for the cham
ber in tin* sense that the local body was
one of the first to make efforts t«* have
such an appropriation passed. In addi
tion to other efforts, the matter was
taken up with the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce Iasi fall and that body at
oiu< took active steps to secure the ap
propriation. The Nome chamber also
made direct representations to congress
men and otuer who were in a position
to press tin* matter along and naturally
feels that the appropriation is largely
due to their efforts.
