NEWS NOTES
I Tomorrow evening the Catholic Li
brary Club gives a card party at St.
J< soph's hall for members of the
parish. Kefrekhuiunis will bs served.
i
j The Pioneers had a stag card pnr
| ty last mgut following the regular
: j meeting. Beer and sandwiches were
provided.
The chamber of commerce of the
<, t'r.ited States has sent word to the
-; Nome chamber that the name of Mr.
, I'uotet Lmiuberg has been put on theii
j mailing list and that his advice is
; sought on all matters pertaining to
,ue weltuie of this section.
It is reported that one of \V. J.
ilcwe's fine black horses died recently
at Solomon as the result of getting
into an overflow. The whole team of
four animals went in and were finally
hflped out. his one dud from the
entets two days later. It could not
be replaced for live hundred dollars.
Reports from Solomon are that they
! have experienced the worst weather
• n year3. As a consequence W. J.
iiowe is having a tough time moving
I the Flowers dredge. There has not
been one clear day there since he left
i Nome on December 23. Only two
\ good clear days would finish the Job.
There have been mishaps to sleds
owing to the cold weather which
causes iron to snap off like glass.
Not only has the weather been hard
on the gear but a tough proposition
for the men and animals us well.
When Charles Milot was asked today
| as to the date of Howe's return he
! said he did ->"t know, it all Uepend3

The reindeer fair at Igloo i3 glow
ing in favor each season both with
the natives and with white people.
The first fair three years ago hau
ouc white visitor, last year there were
1 a dozen or more and the coming fair
| called the Igloo fair which will lie
’ held at Kruzmagapa Hot Springs six
miles from Igloo will probable be
laiunued by thirty, forty or fifty
white people from Nome and tills vi
cinity. At the springs is a warm,
two story log hotel with good accom •
modation3 for all visitors. Those who
visited last year's fair say that no one
will ever regret having attended this
I shorw which is unique the world over,
there is something doing all the time
and of original, even thrilling, inter
est.
A letter from David Fox, a well
known old time Nomeite to Charles
I Milot states that the VV. J. Rowe j
| freighting outfit is known so far east i
as little old New York as the biggest
| of its kind in Alaska. Fox is the |
president of the Arctic placer mining
and milling company which owns the
greund where the Bangor dredge op- !
erates in summer and his New York
connection is the American Brake &
Shoe Company. He says he often
thinks of hi3 Nome friends and hopes
to come to visit them soon. The
Nugget special edition he received he
considers a very fine magazine and
he read it from cover to cover includ
ing all advertisements.
Speaking of New York he says
"Things are rather strenuous; busi
ness is booming, prices are very high
: both for labor and material; living
has gone up, hut to balance all this
an Immense amount of money is com
ing from abroad. How long the war
will last no one knows. A3 long as
it does last and for a couple of years
atfer, I feel that all the steel and
copper companies anil similar con
cerns will make large returns.”

A letter to Hurry l'hillips from his
, brother who was wounded on the
Somme sector tells a lot ot personal
news and throws some side lights on
tlie war which are of Interest. He
expected to get out of the hospital
| by Christmas and to be well a month
afterward when he hopes to return
to the front and get a few more Uei
mans before he dies. He says "the
war office treats you like dirt when
> ou get wounded,” and sends the re
covered one3 back to the trenches
t
though it keeps others, who have no
ye> been to the front, in England for
show purposes. He describes iht
summe advance about September 15
as "just hell.” "The poor devils were
mowed down like corn but I can tell ;
you that we got even when we got I
into ^iieir trenches with the cold
steel. \Ve had orders from our cap- ,
tain to take no prisoners and can tel,
you we did not. We were just mau
u.er the way they had treated our )
boys and we put the bayonet wel i
home whether they cried ‘Merci Kam- ]
rade’ or not. They are just finding
out that we are going to win, and
if J go out again I mean to have a
few more before I go under if my
luck holds good.”
John Heitman, sometimes known as
"two story John" because of his
height, is of an inventive turn of
mind and withal quite ingenious.
Sometime ago he conceived the idea o.
making a disk record holder suitable
for \ ictor records. He developed his
iidca until a cabinet was contriveu
which was deemed good enough to bi
patmied. Word has just been receiv
ed that a patent hud been grantei.
by the United States patent otfic.
The cabinet is or.g.nal in that oni.
one record can be taken out at a
ume. The moment it is removeo
from its place, which i3 pioperl>
numbered, the other records are au- |
tomatically locked in their places am. I
cannot be taken out until the othei
one has been returned to its propei
resting place. The advantages of thm
cabinet are many. Each record can ]
be found instantly. None of them
can be piled up and scratched there i
by. On ships, in clubs, hotels, stores j
and other places where the public j
uses the talking machine there will j
be no danger of pilfering because the
empty space would show at once
wh*ch one taken and that it was
taken. For these and other reasons
the newly patented catii f t peems
destined to have a considerable sale
when it shall be put on the marke..
Mayor Moller sent six copies of tfv
Mining and Dredging Edition of the
Nugget to flrm3 with which he does
business. He accompanied the edi
tion with a letter and thus far has
received replies from five out of the
six stating that they had written to
their congressman on behalf of the
needs of this section. The following
is a copy of the letter sent by M. J.
Brandenstein & Co., to their repre
sentaive:
November 24, 1916.
Hon. Julius Kahn, House of Repre
sentatives, Washington, D. C.:
Dear Sir: It has been brought to our
attention, by letters from our friends
and customers in Nome, Alaska, and
by Nome publications, that the Sew
ard peninsula district is in urgent
ni ed of a comprehensive system of
roads from Nome, the chief commer
cial port of the district, to the va3t
and almost unexploitcd mineral fields
of the interior. Without better roads
further progress and development ot
the Nome section of Alaska will be
not only very slow and insignificant
but hardly possible.
To obtain these improvements, as
sistance from the federal government
is necessary; and on behalf of these
people, in the betterment of whose
conditions we are genuinely Interest
ed, we bespeak your interest and sup
port in the effort they are making to
secure appropriations for road ana
harbor construction.
To acquaint you further with the
state of affairs in, the Seward pen
nsula, we take the liberty of mailing
you, under separate cover, a copy ot
lie Mining and Dredging Edition of
the Nome Dally Nugget, which w'
clieve you will find both interesting
and Informing. Respectfully your9.
