NEWS ITEMS
The young people of Nome
have expressed much interest in
the promotion of a centrally loc^t
ed clubhouse and amusement
ball. Since the 1934 fire Nome has
been in need of such a commun
ity meeting place.
Two buildings are now avail
able where there would be ade
quate space for a small library,
a kitchen for the preparation of
lunches, card tables and such oth
ar entertainment facilities as the
Club might desire.
Numerous individuals are will
dug to donate and assist but the
undertaking really rests in the
hands of the younger populace
of our town. All interested in
this worthy project are urged to
attend the meeting at the City
Hall, Friday, May 26, at 9 p.m.
Let’s have a large turn-out.
The Nugget man made a trip
of inspection to Dry Creek and
Snake river yesterday afternoon
only to find that there was lit
tle if any water on the ice of
Snake River and very little run
ning down Dry Creek. Things in
general looked wintery indeed.
This morning we were informed
that last night about 9 o’lcock,
conditions changed considerably
when the waters of Dry Creek
went on a rampage.
The ice in the center of the
river has come up but the sides
are holding fast and it is still
possible for pedestrians to cross
to the sandspit without getting
their feet wet. Further up the
river the ice seems to be melting
and rotting without any move
ment. The lakes and small ponds
are filled with water and as soon
as they start spilling into the
river considerable action is ex
pected to result near the revet
ments and mouth by the waters
backing up and raising the river
ice to flood condition. The sea
ice at the mouth of the river is
still holding fast which also tends
to hinder the movement of the
river ice.
