Post Office To
Be Dedicated
Tomorrow
Beginning with the discovery
of gold and stampede to Nnme in
1900, the government installed a
postoffice at Nome. The first
postmaster was John Wright and
! Ine office was located on D street
where the present Office of In
dian Affairs scho'ol building now
islands. Forty thousand people
stampeded to Nome that year, i
and postmaster Wright with sev
eral assistants and a crew of
some 24 clerks handled the heavy
mail shipments. It was a daily
and customary sight in that year,
to see a line of people standing
for one block distant, awaiting
their turn to go in one door of
the postoffice and out another
door. Many of those who stood
in line for hours, when upon
reaching the general delivery
windows were told there was no
i mail for them. It was not nec
essary to ask anyone whether
| they received a letter or not—the
smde or expression of disappoint
ment was plainly visible on their
, faces.
The streets in those days were
1 not planked or gravelled and it!
was difficult to even cross the
t street on a single plank at in
tersections. Wagons drawn by
horses, wading through muck up
to their hips, and many times're
quiring another team to extri
cate them from their predica
ment, with the mail, was a daily
sight.
Owing to the fact that the loca
tion of the postoffice was deem
ed at that time too far away j
from the business center of the
town, a movement was made to
change the location. It was fin
ally decided to move the post
office to a two story building at
the comer of Second Avenue and
Stedman avenue, opposite the 1
famous Lobby Saloon owned by
Joe Jourdan, whom it was said
agreed to pay the rent of the post
office if it could be moved op
posite his saloon.
Norrfe was later visited by a
fire which started in the Golden
Gate Hotel, several persons were
