FIRE DRILL IS
HELD BY LOCAL
DOCK COMPANY
—
The Lomen Commercial Co.
held a practice fire drill yester
day afternoon at two-thirty, be
fore a crowd of Nome citizens,
including the fire chief of the
city.
The drill included turning in
of an alarm, starting the pump
ing unit, connecting the hose and
manning the various positions at
the fire.
During a fire in the area cov
ered by the Lomen unit, employ
ees of the Lomen Commercial
Company will become members
of the company fire department,
having been previously assigned
to a particular job.
The demonstration proved
very satisfactory, and the pump
ing unit operated well, giving
more water than could possibly
be necessary on any particular
fire.
The only additional equipment
suggested at present would be a
Siamese attachment for twin
hoses.
Persons in the neighborhood
should acquaint themselves with
the location of the alarm, and the
method of turning it in, in addi
tion to the regular alarm box
which is across from the Lomen
company office.
According to Jack Anderson
superintendent of the company!
the unit has enough standard
firehose to reach approximately
two blocks in any direction.
Members of the Lomen fire
*- -* * . m m m mm » - m m «
unit are to be commended on
their efficiency, and the operation
of their department.

HUNTERS ARE
RESCUED BY
NOME PILOTS
Yesterday Pilot Lloyd Peter
son of Wien Alaska Airlines and
Bill Munz of Munz Air Service,
both of Nome, flew north yester
day in search of two wolf hunt
ers, whose plane was down
somewhere in the Teller district.
Dan Kline and his pilot, Ray
Knott, left Teller Monday with
three hours’ gas supply and did
not return. Mrs. Tom Peterson
of Teller relayed the information
to Nome, whereupon the two
planes took off for the area in
a search for the men.
Pilot Peterson was alone, but'
Pilot Munz carried an observer,
Pilot Dr. Kennedy, the flying
dentist of Nome.
After about two hours’ search,
the little blue Piper Cub was
spotted by Kennedy, about 25'
miles west of Teller, and the two
men were seen hoofing it down j
the beach toward Teller.
The two men were picked up,
much the worse for wear and!
rather cold and hungry.
They had landed their plane to
pick up a wolf, which they had
killed, and left the plane for
about an hour and a half, and
then, on their return, could not
start it. I
Spending the night in the
plane, they started the following!
morning for Teller.
The wolf hunters said they had
nine pelts of wolves they had
killed and one other killed and
two wounded.
DAMAGE IS
HIGH AT MUNZ
SHOP FIRE
The Fire Department was call
ed out this morning to a fire at
the Munz Airplane repair shop
on North Stedman avenue.
The fire, which destroyed the
plane which had just been com
pletely rebuilt, and much other
equipment in the shop, started
when a light globe ignited the
final coat of dope which was be
ing applied to the fuselage.
The department responded im
mediately and started pour water
into the smoke and flames.
A truck of the CAA drove up i
and out rolled a tank of carbon I
dioxide, the new fire-fighting!
fog. The tank and hose was roll
ed into the building where the
refrigerant was released, creating
a fog, which smothered the
flames to such an extent that the
water was needed only to prevent
further outbreak of the flames
