“What's the Weather Up There"
asks the title of a featured arti
cle by Stan Lilian in the October
issue of The Alaska Sportsman,
just out. The article then goes
on to give a comprehensive des
cription of climatic conditions in
all parts of Alaska pointing out
why the Southeastern Alaska dis
trict has such mild, rainy weath
er, whereas in the North the
ground under the surface is froz
en the year around.
Records for various districts
and the maximum and minimum
thermometer recordings are giv
en for illustrations although it
is pointed out that R L Frost, As
sistant Meteorologis for the U.
S. Weather Bureau at Fairbanks
warns that because of the com

years—new records . in weather

long periods of time.
‘The Indians Won’t TeJl” is the

FAIR NOTES
With the postponement of Fair
Week to Oct. 20, 21, 22. it fol
lows that the youngster set Queen
Contes' is extended just one
week. This will undoubtedly
give some of the youngsters who
got started either late or too
slowly, the opportunity of digg
ing in a bit harder, realizing that
two weeks is twice as lengthy as
one week, and that a great deal
can be accomplished in the ex
tended time. So lets go girls,;
and remember there wiU be five
winners, a Queen and four Prin
cesses.
Fairs, aside from their enter
tainment and recreational value,;
are presumed to depict the cul-!
tural, business and industrial life
of the section in which they are
held.
It so happens that Nome and
the Seward Peninsula have, prac
tically speaking, but one major
industry, mining. This is the in-!
dustry that gives employment to 1
hundreds of people, that permits
a great many people to earn fine
salaries, that contributes vast j
sums of money to stockholders
living in the States, and to those
who are fortunate enough to
have had the money with which
to back a prospector with a pay-:
streak. It has also been and still
is the only industry which allows
a person with nothing but enter
prise and a penchant for hard
work as assets, to enter the game
and wrest fortunes of varying
degrees from Mother earth. It is
one of the few industries in whi
ch education and intellectual at
tainments are not basic require
ments for success.
It would seem then that the
Mining Exhibit of the Nome Fair
should be one of the outstanding
ones of the coming Fair. It is to
be hoped that those who are di
rectly connected with the mining
business in the Nome and Sew
ard Peninsula areas will have the
.time and willingness to contri
bute materially to the building
up of a really representative
mining display.
Those interested can communi
cate with Aben Shallit at the
local Territorial Assay Office,
who is Superintendent of the
Fair’s Mining Division.
—
Of special interest to our local
horto-cuMurists and agriculturists
is a communication recently re
ceived from the Olympia Brew
ing Co , of Olympia, Washington,
wherein they offer two cash
prizes. A $5.00 prize for the
best assortment of Alaska 1
flowers grown by an individ
ual—also a $10.00 prize for the
best assortment of Alaska veget
ables grown by an individual, i
Mrs. O. S. Weaver and A. Bah
Ike are superintendents respec- j
tively of the Flower and Agricul-1
tural Divisions. Anyone wishing
to exhibit in these two divisions
can do so by communicating with
the superintendents.
Due to her recent illness and
operation Mrs. Lars Rynning was
forced to withdraw as superinten
dent of the Handicraft and Needle
work Division. This department
will be supervised by Miss Anna
Ryliander whose residence is the
Albin Poison house, and who
will be pleased to have those de
sirous of entering exhibits com
municate with her.
During the period of the Queen
Contest, extra copies of the Nug
get may be purchased from- the
route carniers on the streets for
10 cents per copy, and at the
Nugget Office for 10 cents.
Don’t forget to leave your name
and address for the Nugget to be
sent to you via airplane at your
mining camps, from now on.
