A WORTHY OBJECT
One of the most important
things of interest to Nomeites
fcnd residents of the outlying
sections of Seward Peninsula,
was brought to the attention of
the local Chamber of Commerce
at a recent meeting—that of
starting a movement for improve
ment of housing and living con
ditions at Serpentine Hot Springs
for the benefit of the people of
this section of Alaska.
The curative waters of this j
particular hot springs are well
known to old timers in this sec
tion. Young men in the prime of
life, old men, crippled by rhu
matism and other ailments, too
weak to make the trip them
selves to the springs, journeyed;
there by dog teams, long before |
aiiplanes made their appearance j
in Alaska. In most cases men |
taken there in a crippled condi-j
tion have been known to walk j
back and some even skii back j
after a short sojourn at the
springs.
Kougarok mining men, some|
20 years ago, formed a sort of
clilb for their mutual benefit, tax
ed themselves a substantial sum
to erect a building at the Ser
pentine Hot Springs, furnished it |
with necessary dishes^, cooking!
stove, bunks, and fuel, cleaned,
out and developed a large bath- >
ing pool, made arrangements for'
running cold water into the hot
pool so as to bring it to the right
temperature for bathing. This
same cabin has been kept in re
pair off and on for many years
by these same Kougarokers. Just
a few weeks ago the place was
ren'mated and newly papered
throughout.
One of the rules of this club
was that sufficient fuel should
be on hand and the door left un
locked, for the benefit of persons
traveling in that direction who
may be overtaken by storms or
blizzards, thus acting as a re
fuge and shelter. Each person
using the cabin was expected to
replenish the fuel pile and clean
up the place before leaving it.
This was strictly adhered to by
the white population under pen
alty of loosing membership in
the Kougarokers club and being
barred from further priveleges
of accomodations at the springs.
Now with the advent of mod-!
ern flying planes in this section, j
the Serpentine Hot Springs, i
which is approximately 100 mil
es distant from Nome, may be
easily reached by the expendi-!
ture of a small sum on construe- j
tion of a suitable landing field i
near by. At present to reach the!
springs it is necessary to fly to i
Taylor, thence a short distance
via do-g team. Those taking ad- j
vantage of the springs must i
take their own provisions and !

The plan to raise sufficient
money for the construction of
<uit"ble buildings, both for
whites and natives, and have a
caretaker in charge is a most ap
pealing project, and should not
be let die and found wanting.
The ground and springs are the
property of the government,
therefore, if we can devise a
movement whereby our resi
dents and the government can
foster and improve this wonder
ful and natural health-giving
property for the benefit of man
kind, its blessings to humanity
will be threefold.
In addition the Nome Nugget
wishes to call attention to anoth
e: wonderful curative springs be
tween Golovin and Council,
which is also well known to
sourdoughs and natives. This
spring is recommended as the
proper place for the construction
of a sanitarium for tuberculosis
patients among the native popula
tion.

JUDGEMENT IN CASE
SET AT SUM $8,500
(From Fairbanks News-Miner)
Eight thousand, five hundred
dollars was offered and accept
ed recently in settlement of the
damage case of M. Cl fTord Smith
administrator of the estate of
Aldwvn David (Buck- Roberts,
deceased, against the Pacific- Al
aska Airways.
The action arose out of a fatal
airplane accident September 19,
1933, at Livengood.
A Pacific-Alaska Airways plane
(piloted by George Edward
Young and carrying as passen
gers Mr, Roberts and Eric Nel
son crashed in an attempted
landing. All three were killed.
Mr. Smith, as administrator of
the Roberts estate, and W. G.
Mahan, as administrator of the
Nelson estate, each sued the Air
ways for $10,000, the maximum
amount of damages that could be
sued for under the Territorial
Iwa for such accidents.
The cases were tried separate
ly in the United States district
court in Fairbanks before juries.
In the Nelson case, the jury re
turned a verdict for the full
amount claimed, $10,000 and
costs.
In the Roberts case, the jury
returned a verdict for the Air
ways giving the Roberts estate
nothing.
Both cases were appealed to
the circuit court of appeals sitt
ing at San Francisco. The circuit
court of appeals affirmed the ver
dict of $10,000 in the Nelson case
and ordered and reversed the ver
diet in the Roberts case, order
ing a new trial in the district
court here.
From the circuit court of ap
peals’ reversal in the Roberts
case, the Airways appealed to the
United States supreme court,
asking for a writ of certiorari,
which, if issued would have
