Tonight the Dream will present
“Nedra" n five part comedy remance.
This is a star attraction of the high
est class and with George Frohert and
Fania Marinoff in the leading roles,
is bound to make a lug hit. It is the
story of the "wrong girl” and the
"light man" being shipwrecked on a
cannibal isle. How they are accepted
as white gods by the natives, and
crowned, makes a thrilling and umus
ing story. This famous photoplay was
dramatized from the famous novel
"Nedra" by George Barr McCutcheon.
It is a crackerjack show and has the
Dream’s guarantee.
Humor has it that some parties en
gaged in the trading business are pre
paring to make a whisky raid on the
Siberian coast as soon as it is thought
that the Russian patrol boat, now on
the farther coast, has returned to the
south. Nothing can be learned as to
the identity of the parties who are
figuring on the transaction but the
rumor nevertheless persists, indicat
ing that something of that nature is
in the wind. It is regrettable that
nothing can he done to prevent an
affair of this character aa it is in com
plete defiance of both law and de
cency. Decent trade with the natives
iis to be encouraged but unscrupulous
trading such as is apparently contem
plated deserves severe condemnation
as injurious to Nome and to all par
ties who might he inclined to conduct
a legitimate trading business.
Colonel Richardson, head of the Al

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ELECTS NEW
OFFICERS
The Nome and Seward Peninsula
Chamber of Commerce elected the fol
lowing to till the various offices of the
organization for the ensuing year at
its regular h’-mont' v meeting at the
Pioneer hall last evening:
President, \ Polet; vice president,
.• CJ. Blake secrctaiy, Frank C Dean; j
t ensure, R. \V. Caileton; directors,
YV. J. ltow", A. ,f. Mueller, J. F.
Hobbes. Arthur Cole, C. E. Darling.
Included in the large volume of
business transacted during the meet
ing was the passage of a resolution
calling for the appointment of a com
mittee to interview Mr. Pugh, repre
sentative of the Fnited States eu.<
h ms department relative to taking
■ me action to prevent traders from
including liquor as ,i pi- ion of their
trading stock when leaving this port
for trading excursions fo Siberia and
other ports. Inasmuch as the illicit
trading of liquor has done more than
all else to discourage trading between
Nome and the Russian coast, it is
the opinion of the Chamber that the
suppression of the traffic, if possible,
on this side of Bering sea would as
sist greatly in restoring a large por
tion of the trade in addition to pre
venting much abuse of the natives
along the American coasts.
A committee consisting of A. Polet,
decided to make the trip on the Uma
tilla. While here the colonel will go
over briefly the plans of the commis
sion pertaining to this district and
adjust matters requiring his atten-'
tion as far as possible within the
limited time allowed him. His arrival
here concludes it trip of inspection
covering the greater portion of the
road commission work throughout the
territory.
One of the men belonging to the
schooner Teddy Bear was the recipient
of attentions from the coast guard
crew this morning when the dory in
which he was making his way ashore
was upset in the heavy surf in front
of the life saving station. The man
had it 11 but reached the beach when a
heavy roller caught the frail craft and
tlung its passenger headlong into the
foaming waters where he was rolled
around at a lively rate before the surf
men could reach him. When fished out
by the life savers he was found to be
suffering from nothing more severe
than a good wetting.
Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Zehner, with the
sailing of the Umatilla, will shake
the dust of Nome off their feet and
depart for the more salubrious outside
to return no more. At least it is not
the intention to return again. The
departure of the couple, both of whom
are known to almost every person in
Nome, will be deeply regretted by
their large circle of friends and ac
quaintances, most of whom they have
been in contact almost daily with for
the past sixteen years. The couple
intend to proceed to San Diego and
contemplate ultimately making their
home in that town. Before finally
settling down, however, they will tour
a large portion of the country and ex
pect to bo in Washington in time I
for the next Inauguration. They will !
also visit relatives and expect to take I
in the next Mardi Gras at New Or
leans.
A letter of Interest to owners of
antimony deposits from Donald W.
Boss, of 319 Birmingham avenue,
Uititsburg, Pa., and addressed to S.
Simson, was read at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting last night. The
communication states that the writer
has heard that Mr. Simson is the
owner of antimony deposits and if
they can be made to economically
yield either metalic antimony or anti
mony oxide, practically free from
such impurities as arsenic, iron and
copper, he will be pleased to learn
what disposition the owner cares to
make of them. He also states that if
outside money for development is de
sired he would be pleased to know
what means are figured on to interest
such capital. The interest of the writ
er is, he says, "purely to obtain a
basis for investment as it is desired
to procure a dependable American
source of antimony if the same is to
be had.” The deposits must be very
large, advantageously situated and
yield very pure products to merit
interest.

George D. Schofield anil 1* rank ' ■
Dean was appointed to interview Mr.
I'ugh and learn if there is any way
in which the traders can be prevented
from clearing port with liquor in
cluded in the goods carried aboard
their vessels.
The road committee reported that a
wire has been sent to Major Rich
ardson. at St. Michael, requesting an
interview relative to the development
of a system of roads on Seward pen
insula which will tend to bring future
road construction under a compre
hensive plan whereby the development
of the peninsula may be furthered to
the Iicst advantage.
The committee in charge of the cir
culation of the petition requesting the
pioneer and soldiers home board to
establish the projected home on Sew
ard peninsula, preferably at the Kruz
gumpa Springs, reported that they had
secured three hundred or more names
within an hour or two and expected
to get the signatures of over a thou
sand. It was also determined to for
ward copies of the petition to the
i'handier of Commerce representative;
at other points with a request thal
they secure the signatures cf the resi
dents of their community.

NOT ASSESSMENT WORK
I •
in the opinion of the territorial at
torney general the provision of the
mining law passed by tlte last legisla
ture providing that survey work done
on mining claims may he credited as
annual assessment work is invalid.
Owing lo the opinion that survey

or development of the ground within (
the terms of the federal mining stn- I
tutes, voiced by several well known
attorneys in connection with the ef
forts of certain local parties to enter
surveys as assessment work in the
course of obtaining a patent to min

to its Juneau correspondent asking
that an opinion lie obtained from At

Juneau, Aug. in, 1910.

It is tin' opinion of Attorney General
