CONSOLIDATED OLYMPIC LINE. Nome, Alaska.
Deax Sirs:
► In answer to your request to the general public
for advertisements to be printed in The Nugget, it seems to
the writer, who heartily appreciates what you have already
done for this section of the world, is its own best advertise
ment. I, therefore, suggest a simple statement of what I call:
SHIPPING FACTS
THE CONSOLIDATE OLYMPIC LINE,
1st. Established a new steamship line to Bering Sea ports,
this spring, at rates I understand average 10% or more lower
than the rates whe have been paying.
2nd. The old company met your rates about the time the
El Capitan sailed.
3rd. 1 figure the four ships counting the El Capitan. which
^ have already made trips to Seward Peninsula, have carried
at least twenty thousand tons.
4th. Figured at only §4.00 per ton less than the old rate
will mean S80.000 saving already this summer which is less
than half gone.
5th. I do not believe there is anyone who could help but
support the source from whence this saving came and thus
perpetuate the same.
Signed: A Friend

There is no young man in the
Northwest today who will be
more sincerely missed from Seat
tle transportation circles than K.
A. "Kenny” Cross of the Alaska
S. S. Company who has just been
promoted to the office of Assist
ant Passenger Agent of the ccm
pany in San Francisco. He is
famous as an entertainer and no
one it the world can surpass h.m
in singing the "Hump Back Sal
mon” song. Cross, succeeds Art
Stewart, who resigned to accept
a position with Transcontinental
Western Airways in Kansas City
and left recently for his new
p.'t at 311 California Street, San
Francisco, Calif.
They say it actually happened
at Texas University. One of the
professors was getting acquaint
ed with the members of his class.
Turning to an attractive looking
blonde he inquired. "And what is
your name please?” "West” she
told him.
"Ah, Mae West, I presume?”
"No,” she snapped back, "My
Nome is June and please remem
ber that June is a whole lot
hotter than May.”

It was a dark night when Ray Yocom (above), buried $2300 in the
back yard of his DeKalb, III., home. Now it’s no wonder he’s puz
zled, because digging has failed to turn up even a cent.

Pa., where thousands of black Lass, carp and catfish fight over the
pieces of stale bread tossed to them. Note how water is disturbed
by hungry fish rising for the food.

Slim and Partner After
Motorcycle Left on Trail
_
From a recent issue of the
Fairbanks News-Miner it is learn
ed that Slim Williams and his,
partner Jack Logan went back
over their trail with a pack horse
to bring in the motorcycle they
abandoned on the way to Chick
en from Healy Lake. The men
are expected to return with their
machine within the next few.
days.
Williams and Logan, on their
way to the New York Fair by
! motorcycle, left Fairbanks the
j middle of May. Traveling the rid
ges between Healy Lake and
i Chicken the men were hampered
on their trips by poisoning thru
eating roots when their grub ran
out.
The men plan on continuing
their trip over the International
Highway route to New York,
when they get back to Chicken.
Later—they were reported at
Walkers Fork, overhauling one
of their motorcycles. After finish
ing the repair job. they expect to
proceed across the Internationa)!
Boundary line and on to Dawson.
Their route then leads to White
horse, Carcross, Atlin. Telegraph
Creek, Hazelton and on to the
East.
Both Logan and Williams are
very optimistic over the remaind
er of the trip. They figure that
the worst stretches are past.
Although bearded and bedrag
gled. both men are in good shape
Williams has lost 23 pounds on
the trip and Logan has lost 16.
Staking of Claims
Under the law as changed a per
son may stake two claims for
himself and two under power of
attorney in any month. Under the
old law a person could stake two
for himself and 16 under power
of attorney in any month.
NEW AIRFIELD FOR NENANA
FAIRBANKS—The city of Ne
nana has purchased ground
which will give additional run
way space for the airfield there.
Up to the time the purchase was
made a very short and dangerous
airfield was all that Nenana had.
The Nenana field has been con
demned for commercial use for
some time.
Territorial funds amounting to
$1,000 were set aside for impr<
ments on the Nenana airfi<
This amount is still insufficit
to make improvements necess
before the ban on the field to
s lifted. Funds of the city of
Nenana were completely exhaust
l1 whan the purchase of the ad
diti inel ground was made. Resi
dents of that town are now look
ing to c.ther means and agencies
for the raising of an amount suf
ficient to put the field in a con
dition '.hat will make it usable
for commercial planes.
