iing ready for the summer’s diggings.
Bert McCarthy will go along with
Felder when he makes the return trip
tonight. Louis Ei'ickson will also be
in the party but will go down the

At tho Sons of the North meeting
held at their hall on Sunday after
noon the following resolution was
unamiously adopted: "That the Nor
wegian people of Nome will not as
heretofore celebrate the 17th of May,
Norway's day of Independence, this
year or as long as the war lasts.”
"It has ' always been the custom
o celebrate the 17th of May in mem- f
>ry of our forefathers who so nobly
ought for their freedom which they
innlly gained in 1S14.”
"The spirit of freedom is embodied
n the heart of every Norwegian, i
ihich is in harmony with that of
iineriea. As citizens of the United
states we feel that it is our duty :
o give our adopted country—the Unl
ed States—our loyalty and undivided
upport.” i

With J. A. Miles at the wheel the !
ig Allan moter-sleigh coveted
round in the deep soft snow near t’ e
adio station yesterday afternoon,
attracted by the noise of the motor
irony people watched the movements 1
f the powerful machine which cer
ainly got over the ground in a won
lerful manner. The snow was in the
ireak-up stage and would not stand
he weight of a man but the tobog
gan bottomed craft ran right over
'verything.
When Mr. Miles was sure of his
•nmmand over tho machine l.e headed
lown town and brought up outside
>f the Golden Gate where Mrs. R. 15.
Hurling stopped on board md a trip
through the city was made. Much to
the surprise of everybody the motor
sled was handled with the case of an
uitomobile. If the trail stiffens up
some night a flying trip lown the
mast will lie made.
The following matter of great im
portance to the general community
has been taken up by many of the
prominent residents of the city and
. .■■■■■... ^
Closing Out
Owing to the steadly growing demand of Polet’s
Extra Fresh Roasted Coffee we find uneccessary
to carry so many brands of Coffees, the first to

unquestionably deserves the undivid
ed support of the entire community.
It is the shape of a petition which
will be circulated among the business
i men and merchants of Nome and is
as follows:
The proposal to "save” daylight by
readjusting the hours of work which
is being successfully employed in
many eastern cities and over a large
part of Europe, would result in a
very material advantage to the cities
as of Nome who depend very largely
for their outdoor recreation on the
hours of the evening called "after
business hours” by allow ing an extra j
hour of sunlight for that period. J
Therefore, We citizens of Nome,
Alaska, respectfully represent to the
mayor and the city council the ad
visability of making the city official,
time one hour in advance of sun
time, and tha tth'is advantage should
be enjoyed during the period of the
greatest opportunity, we suggest that
such change commence with May 1.
Postmaster Walsh announces that
maU for Wales, Teller, York, also
Taylor creek and way points will close
on Tuesday, May 1, at 5 p. ill.
Billy Kowe W'ill run a gas cur on
the Seward Pen'insula railroad this
summer and has a lease on this road
bed. Many of the Kougarokers will
wait until the road is open before they
head for that section.
Billy Kowe did not go to Nome
river bridge as stated in Saturday’s
paper. Yes, he did! It was not the |
bridge at Fort Davis but the railroad
bridge which crosses Nome river on
the other side of Banner creek. So
you see the mystery is solved.
Dr. J. H. Mustard is the first man
in the Seward peninsula to offer him
self for active service. Today he
wired to the war department stating
that he was ready and willing—
whether it be in Flanders or Palestine
—to serve his country. Bully for you
Doc!
During the past few days the ranks
of the Home Guards have been swol
len by many enrollments. At the
Eskimo mvmnasium tonight they will
have their first lessons under the di
rection of the drill sergeants from
Fort Davis. Drill will take place
from 7 to 8.
Doc Kemp will now come under the
conscription law and is sorry he made
the trip to Council. He arrived here
yesterday with a whole flock of Si
berians. Of course oc was riding
wrapped up in the sleigh and Mrs.
Kemp was on the handle bars. He is
looking about fifty years younger and
offers to wrestle any man in Nome.
Shish-a-a-apilly I’angman is about
to fall off the water wagon again, all
occasioned by Ed Johnson's work in
getting the water through from
Moonlight Springs. It was close to
the city this afternoon. Ed says he
will have it in your kitchen sink by
this time tomorrow. So Billy Pang
man’s failing off the wagon is the
cause of much Joy!
Road Commissioner D. A. Jones
has several men at work on the va
rious bridges and bridge approaches
today. He is all in readiness for the
summer’s work. We lack the appro
priation which friend Wickcrsham
denied the territory that has be
friended him for many years. We
need the roads and we need the
’ money. The road commission did
good work last year and employed
a great many men. Many were ex
pecting work in that line this sum
mer and would have had >t were it
not for Wick.
Talk about patriotism—last night a
well built clean looking Eskimo en
tered tho Nugget office and doggedly
inquired “You ah’ pite ’em United
States.” The editor replied, "No, we
fight for the United States" the dark
skinned gentleman replied, "Ma ah’
ah’ |pite ’em—me shoot ’em pretty
good. KUIem plenty seals me—me
want pitem—me all leady.”
This natives name is Mike Kotuuna
of Cape Prince of Wales and he stated
that many of the Eskimo bloods were
ready and willing to take a chance
with Uncle Ham’s army. The native
is a pretty good shot—can live on al
most anything—and were he to leave
his seal poke mukluks at home would
make a valuable fighting unit. Some
body suggested that he take his muk
luks along that they would bo more
effective than the gas the Germans
put their victims to sleep with before
they bayonet them.
The break-up this spring Is one of
the earliest for many years. Miners
In from the creek state the hills have
hut a thin scale of snow compared
with what might he termed the big
blanket of last year. The trails are
Impassible as far as horses are con
cerned. Billy Rowe scarcely had n
horse out of the barn today. Many
old-timers were caught by the early
break-up and are unable to get their
supplies out to the'ir claims. There
are quite a few miners here from
Dime creek and they will wait until
a cold night will give them a chance
to hit for home.
DREAM TONIGHT "RAIL
SPLITTER TO PRESIDENT
The Dream presents a stirring at
traction tonight titled us above. The
play is in two parts and gives a
wordless, si twit delivery as well as a
strong appeal that is both original
and historical. The principal scenes
are built around important and mo
mentous events 'in the life of Presi
dent Lincoln. This together with a
two reel peream comedy completes
the show.
Tomorrow night “Greater Love
--- - ' "■ L.
Hath No Man." Few feature flints
can boast a stronger or more In
tensely Interesting and dramatic plot

I.. Packard's widely read novel, while
such players as Eminet Corrigan,
Crawford Kent, Mabel Wright, Mary
Martin, Thomas Curran and William
Morse, together with the direction of
Herbert Blache, makes “Greater Love
Hath No Man" an exceptional mo
tion picture production.
