Chamber To
Issue Information
The Board of Directors of the1
Northwestern Alaska Chamber
of Commerce, at its noon lunch
eon. and business meeting, yes-!
terday, took definite steps anti
decided to print a quantity
of letter heads, envelopes and a
printed letter in circular style,
for answering the hundreds of
letters being received from per
sons in the States, who are re
questing information concerning
this section of Alaska.
The material has been turned
over to the Nome Nugget job
departmen t which is busily en- -
gaged in rushing out the desired
literature for early mailing, some
of which was printed today.
Other Alaska Chambers are do
ing likewise as is noted in the
following dipping from the Fair!

“Plan To Halt Jobseekers”
“The 'Fairbanks Chamber of:
Commerce at its regular weekly:
meeting -unanimously adopted a
resolution recommending to fed- j
eral and territorial authorities
that means be taken to discou
rage or prevent an influx of wage
seekers into Alaska and funds j
for support of unemployed of the

tion supports in a general way a
similar resolution adopted Dec-'

CITY COUNCIL
REVERSES ITSELF
LIKE GENTLEMEN
—
The Nt-ms city council met in
regular session last night in the
city Hall, at 7 o’clock by special
appointment. A large attendance
was present to see what was do
ng, especially since the council
had held a special meeting last
Thursday to take action on ap
plications for renewals of beer
and wine dispensaries and also
liquor applications, at which
time only three were approved,
and which raised a storm of crit
icism to the action taken, espec
ially by not g; ving any notice to
the public, the press or any of
the persons applying for nenew
al of their licenses.
However, whatever prompted
the so-called special meeting and
the drastic action taken, it was
all undone last night when At
torney C. C. Tanner and all his
clients appeared before the coun
cil, and thru their attorney, the
matter was discussed in detail,
legally and otherwise. When
Judge Tanner ended his remarks
by asking the councilmen to be
fair to the City of Nome, to them
selves and also to the business
men of this city, a motion was
immediately made and seconded
that the council reconsider the
approval of licenses not approv
ed at the recent special meeting.
Whereupon the council took up
the approval of each applica
tion separately, each and every
one being approved in the follow
ing order:
Nome Mercantile & Mining
Co., Greenberg et al.
Chas. Cavey, Dispensary
John F. Devine, Dispensary
May Bale. Dispensary
Tom Cloninger, Dispensary
Jack Solomon, Dispensary
In practically each and every
ease the applicants were ques
tioned as to whether or not they
would, in the future, run and
supervise their establishments in
a lawful order, and in each case
the answer was “yes.”
Tlie chairman of the police de
partment. Edward Anderson,
gave notice that henceforth the
city would maintain a more strict
observance of the establishments
by policeing same. This brot
Judge Tanner again to his feet/
who said he believed that the re
marks of Mr. Anderson were
timely and concurred with him,;
saying also that he believed the
proper way to control the situa- j
tion was for the city to put on an
extra policeman, not only to.
watch the licensees, but to pro-1
perly give the residents of the j
city police protection in other
matters as well.
It was noted in the remarks j
made by Judge Tanner, in ap-j
pearing for his clients, that notj
one case had been found in the:
records where any of the applic

charged or found guitly of run
ning their places illegally, that,
the law empowers the city of
ficials to bring complaints against
offenders legally and hold a trial
before the city magistrate, that j
when found guilty the city could ;
collect a heavy fine and finally1
arrange to have the said licens-1
es revoked by the Judge of the
district court.
During the first part of the
meeting, a communication from i
the Alaska Road Commission
said: that the city would be giv
en the privelege of installing the
ARC ‘•cat” as an auxiliary in the
fire station, free of cost, during
such time as the city “cat” was
being used in levelling the snow
drifts on the streets, but that if
the ARC "cat" was to be used on
the street, leveling snow drifts,
some remuneration would be ex
pected.
The matter of improving the
lighting system in the Nobe Pub
lic School building, was brought
up and the matter left in the
hands of Councilman Hank Mil
ler to look into and report at the
next meeting.
After final action on the ap
proval of licenses, the council ad
journed.

GARDENING
DEVELOPED
BY ESKIMOS1
“It may seem strange, but our^
j chance to fame lies in garden
ing,” said G. LeRoy Swenson,
teacher at Unalakleet, speaking
for the Eskimo people in the vil
lage at the mouth of the Unal
akleet river on Norton Sound.
iMr. Swenson, one of the four
teachers in the Indian Service
school at Unalakleet. brought his
son Jerry to Fairbanks for med
ical attention, flown here by Mi
row Air Service.
“There are 92 pupils in the Un
alakleet school, 89 of them be
ing Eskimos, and three Lapps,”
Mr. Swenson said.
The Unalakleet district is a
wonderful garden country, with
abundant rainfall and a four
month growing season.
Last summer the natives sold
$1,500 worth of vegetables, somej
. to the coast guard boats, some to
A. Polet of Nome, and some went
north on the M S North Star to
Barrow.
It is the teacher’s hope that the
, native people will increase the
| size of their gardens, and realize
more of their living from truck
trade.
In past years, fishing trapping,
and reindeer herds were the
principal sources of livelihood.
With the addition of gardening,
the Eskimo’s measure of econom
ic security is increased.
Unalakleet is a village of 355
people, and the Unalakleet rein
deer herds are said to number
approximately 20,000 head. Sam
S. Kendricks is the reindeer unit
manager.
Charles Traeger is -the trader
and postmaster at Unalakleet,
and the Rev. E. B. Larsson is in
charge of the Swedish Lutheran
Mission there. Mr. Swenson op
erates the Indian Service radio
phone and code station, KTPU.
; Mrs. Marjorie B. Edmundson is
the Indian Service field nurse
based at Unalakleet.
Teachers in the Indian Service
school are Mr. and Mrs. Swen
son, Mabel Ivanoff, and Eunice
Buck, apprentice teacher.
No liquor is sold at Uualakleet,
Mr. Swenson said.
He and his son Jerry are reg
istered at the Nordale Hote
Jerry is 5 years old, and is en-.
joying his first visit in Fairbanks.
The Swensons are now in their
fifth year of teaching at Unala
kleet. Besides Jerry, they have a
daughter, Janet, born in Nome
two years ago.
Mr. Swenson is a native of Wis
consin, and Mrs. Swenson is a
Minnesotan by birth. Before com
ing north they lived at Green
bush, Minn., near the Canadian
border, where Jerry was born.
