A COMING UNO FOR TOURISTS
The regeon in which Nome is sit
uated offers many attractions to tour
ists and, therefore, tile number of that
class of visitors increases year by year,
and would probable be very much
greater if the district received the ad
vertising it deserved to show what tt
has to offer in this respect.
Tourists to Alaska usually leave
■ Seattle for the southeast by the inside
passage which Is regarded as one of
the most beautiful sea trips in any
part of the world. From Skagway is
a railroad trip of a little more than
100 miles over tlie famous White Fass,
which affords a real thrill, with tlie
glorious mountain peaks surrounding
one at the summit when the coach in
which he Is riding stands more than
2.000 feet above the sea. This railroad
brings one to the head of navigation on
the Yukon river at Whitehorse and
from that place to St. Mlcheal, a dis
tance of more titan 2.000 miles, one
travels in fine steamboats down the,
great stream seeing the world famous ;
Klondyke and Dnwson city enroute as
well as countless other scenes of real
interest and beauty.
At St. Michael one crosses b> steam
ship to Nome, a distance of less than
100 miles, and has reached a place
Where a new life, a new civllzation, is
encountered.
Nome and its environs from the min- 1
ing point of view are so well known
that It Is unneccessary to dwell upon
them, hut here in the land of the
Eskimos. Arctic atmosphere, walrus,
seal, polar hear and all the extraordi
nary and picturesque facts with which
those words are associated a tourist
can draw from a wonderful store of
strange things. Nome Is the gateway
to the vast regions of the Arctic nnd as
such it is the beginning of the life
which Is new and Interesting enough
to be the delight of those who are
constantly seeking change.
In no part of the world is better
hunting or fishing furnished than icy
the Bering sea. the Arctic ocean, and
the plains and rivers and lakes around
this city and the day will come when
the fads shall have been advertised all
over the world and when tourists will
awaken to the truth that on their own
continent they have opportunities for
travel and sport which excel, those af
forded by any other country on earth.
During the summer of 1913 the
excursionists traveled under the aus
pices of the Alaska Bureau of the Seat
tle Chamber 'if Commerce followed the
course outlined here and on their return
to the States helped to spread the news
of the Interesting life seen by them
They were accompanied by several
prominent newspaper and magazine
mc-n who represented the Hearst pa
pets. Leslie's Weekly, the Atlanta Con- j
stltutlon and other publications with1
tremendous circulation and the light
which they can throw on these regions
will undoubtedly Increase the tourist
trade to Alaska The editor of the*
Seattle Post-Intelligent *1 who Was
with the excursion, wrote m the col
umns of his paper, after returning, that
Nome was easily the most interesting
place touched in so main places of
interest and wlmt lie believed the
others believed and soon tin* world will
believe and those who seek the Alps
and the Fjords of foreign lands will
presently begin to turn their attention
to the greater Venders which the\ have
under their own Stars and Stripes

A NEW CURE
FOR NEURALGIA!
- I
Here is the tale of u private who was
suffering from neuralgia as he lay in
the trenches, ami who found a most un
usual cure. It is told in a letter from
a soldier to his mother, as follows:
"There's one chap in our company
has got a ripping cure for neuralgia,
but he is'nt going to take out a patent,
because It's too risky, and might kill
the patient. Good luck's one of the
ingredients anil you can't always be
sure of that.
r -l-— sr— ——r. -

"lie was lying in the trenches the
other day, nearly mad with pain in the
face when a German shell burst close
by. He wasn't hit by the explosion
knocked him senseless for a bit. 'Me
neuralgia's gone' says he when he came
around, 'and so's six of your mates'
says we. His name’s Palmer, and that
is why we call the German shells
'Palmer's Neuralgia Cure' now."

THE RABBI AND
THE CRUCIFIX
A touching story of how the chief
Rabbi of Lyons was killed is told in the
Jewish World:
He was in the midst of the fighting
fort for the. purpose of tending Jewish
soldiers and bringing to them spiritual
consolation, when he was called to the
side of a dying trooper, who was a
Catholic.
The poor fellow begged the Rabbi,
whom lie probably imagined was a
priest, to exhibit before Ids eyes that
were closing in eternal sleep, the sym
bol of ids faith, and give 1dm ids bless
ing.
While holding a crucifix in front of
the mortally wounded man and whis
pering words of comfort to him. the j
Rabbi fell, a victim to a German bullet. |

% Facts About Nome for Tourists *
The city of Nome is situated on Har
ing sea. about midway of the southern
shore line of Seward Peninsula. The
town derives its name from the pro
mt ntory some few miles to the east
known as Cape Nome and, in a popular
sense, the name has been given to the
whole territory.
Nome is in every respect a modern
up-to-date city, having most of the
conveniences, and is also the second
city in Alaska.
Previous to the great storm of 1913
tlie assessed valuation of the property
"f Nome was $1,799,322.
The present yearly assessment places
the valuation at' $1,(585,597, a decrease
in value which represents approximate
ly the loss occasioned by the storm.
Tho affairs of the city are conducted
by a city government, composed of a
mayor and six couneilmen and there
are also four paid officials in charge of
various departments
The present city council is us re
presentative as could well be chosen,
being composed of business, mining and
professional men.
The present mayor is Geo. B. Grigsby
and the members of the council are It
S. Burgh, If. H. Moller, P. P. Murphy
A1 Orland, Win. Webb and P. M.
Kiesele.
Phillip Corrigan is municipal clerk
and magistrate; T. II. Reed, city at
torney; Dr. W. D’Arcy Chace, health
olficer; J. V. Sheldon, city treasurer.
There are nearly 200 business houses,
most of which will compare favorably
in point of stock and equipment with
those of cities of much greater size
As Nome is the distributing point
fur over 22.00O square miles of territory
the necessity of large and comprehen
six e stocks of goods is apparent.
Probably no city in the world of equal
size can furnish such diverse assort
ment of goods as is represented in tlie
slocks of local houses.
There is an excellent water system
during the summer months, water be
ing obtained from the Moonlight
Spring, some fexv miles from tlie city.
There are also thoroughly efficient
fire and police '(departments and a
public school, having an average at
tendance of over 200 of xvhich the cost
of maintenance is about $l.i,ooo an
nually.
The Nome school is recognized by
the Outside universities and graduates
are received on the same terms as those
of Outside schools.
There is also a Catholic school hax
ing a considerable attendance
Nome has three practicing physi
cians, Drs. Mustard, Chare and Neu
man, who represent tlie highest ad
vancement of medical science.
Two dentists. Drs. Fromm and Bayne,
look after tlie teeth of the community,
and their work is second to none.
There is an excellently conducted and
equipped hospital under the direction
of the Sisters of Charity
There are txvo churches, Catholic and
Federated, the later being attended l>>
the followers of various demoninattons
The population as given by the last
government census approximates 2.Boo.
