FAIR NOTES
In order to give the children of
Nome a real interest in this years
Fair, the directors decided on a
Queen contest, to be confined to
lassies of 8 to 14 years. Nome
has always been extremely proud
of its healthy, happy, fine look
ing kids, and they are just as
much interested in the various
exhibits and entertainment fea
tures of the Fair as the grown
ups—perhaps more so. The con
test will begin Sept. 30th and end
on October 9, the day before the
Fair opens. All entrants should
register with the Fair manager
befor'e'Sept. 30th.
The Home Economics Division
of which Mrs. Ole Hay is Super
intendent is a department of con
siderable interest to Nome’s
house fraus, and perhaps should
be to Nome’s unattached young
ladies. The old adage, that the
way to a man’s heart is .through
the stomach, still holds true —
and crusty bachelors are prone
to be influenced by visual repre
sentations. All of which should
portend a large and mouth-wat
ering display of the arts and
crafts of the kitchen.
The Art department of the
Fair always elicits much en
thusiasm, and contributions to
ward this popular division will
undoubtedly cause this exhibit to
be of great interest to everyone.
Mrs. Rhetta Harper is superin
tendent of this Division, and any
on? wishing to participate in this
exhibit may do so bv getting in
touch with her.
One of the largest and most
interesting Fair exhibits is that
of Native Arts and Crafts. This
Division is in charge o.f Mrs.
Edna O’Leary who is in charge
of the Arts and Crafts program
of the Office of Indian Affairs.
In addition to a display of na
tive clothing, native foot wear,
and carved ivory, actual demon
strations of sinew making, var
ious types of sewing, and ivory
carving will be provided. Also
a splendid school exhibit' dis
playing the handiwork of the
primary and intermediate rooms
j of the government school.

ALASKA’S OLDEST MAN
PASSES AWAY AT JUNEAU i
Perhaps Alaska’s oldest man,
Capt. Thomas Hill, is dead. He
passed away Monday of this
week at St. Ann’s Hospital in Ju
neau, a. bachelor, at the age of
100 years and 7 months, accord-;
ing to his close friend, Bob Tous
saint, and 93 years old, accord
ing to hospital records.
Born, February 19, 1840 or
1847, at Tiffield, England, Capt.
Hill spent his youth sailing the
seven seas during the time (quot
ing the old gentleman) of “wood
en ships and iron men.” Forsak
ing the sea to go into the mining
game, Capt. Hill came to the
United States and settled at Ton
onah, Nevada. He came to Terri
tory around 1875, when Juneau
was known as the Indian village
of Newcastle, before the coming
of Richard Harris and Joe Jun
eau. After spending some time
prospecting at Silver Bow Basin,:
the captain returned to the Stat
es where he remained until the
gold rush, when he returned to
Alaska, this time going to Nome.
He remained here until six years
ago when he was brought to Ju
neau, entering the St. Ann’s Hos
pital on March 1, 1934.
A character long to be remem
bered, Capt. Hill was a favorite
sight to visitors at St. Anrt’s.
At some time or another the “old
gent” could be seen shuffling
through the halls, a little bent fig
ure with a gray beard And never
was he without his cap and cane
and favorite pipe.
Funeral arrangements will be
announced next week.
