NOME'S BIRTHDAY TOMORROW.
.Tomorrow, April 4th, is Nome's six
icenth anniversary, dating from the day!
back In '99 when ttie tiring of a shot
gave the signal for the staking of
town lots. Many and varied experiences
have come to the burg since that day
and singular changes have developed!
during the interim. Thousands of new
people have come and gone, and ttianv
of the oldtimers who were identified
with the early historc of the camp have
vanished from our midst. We have had'
good times and hard times, times of
superabundant prosperity and times
when things were pretty derned tough
but on the whole we have gone right
along doing iirst rate nil the time and
there are mighty few of us who have
any kick coming and if we have it is
largely against our own selves that we
should kick Nome is a pretty good old
placo and it dont' lake many glances
at the columns of the outside press to
convince one that we are pretty well off
in our little ice-bound hamlet, even it'
we are deprived of many of the plea*
ures and advantages of the effete out
side.
