Advices received here from the out
side tell us that Walter W. Johnson
the genial president of the Union
Construction Co., will not be in Nome
this summer. He has his hands full
of work In the construction of sev
eral dredges for service outside of
Alaska.
The. Union Construction Co. are
swamped with work and have .a host
of draughtsmen at work at their San
Francisco ofiiees. They have had to
increase both their working staff and
office space and now occupy all of
the sixth floor of the Atlas building
on Mission street.
Henry Cole is now in the purehas
. ing department of the company and
has the price of Manganese steel to
babbit metal on his fingers ends.
i At the usual weekly meeting of
the city fathers last night a letter
was read from A. G. Blake, former
mayor of the city in which he stated
: that coal from southeastern Alaska
could be landed and sold In Snn
Francisco for $10 a ton. The question
of the city shipping in a supply of
coal was (aken up by Councilman
McAllister but no action was taken.
With reference to changing the
time of the city to effect a "day
| light” saving it was decided to move
j the clock one hour ahead. If the
citizens so desire to get In line with
“city time” it is tjieir business.
, In the matter of a pubic scales the!
!
offer of the Alaska Lighterage was
tabled.
City Health Officer Chase requested
the council to have clean-up time be
tween now and the 10th Inst. Dur
ing that period all garbage, ashes,
etc., which has accumulated during
the winter is to be carted off.
Speaking of bis recent trip to Dime
creek Manager Sheldon of the Alas
ka bank states that it is a camp of
much promise ami will produce con- i
siderable money this year. He states j
that the greatest drawback is the lack |
of timber for fuel and that many of
the operators are talking of shipping
oil to take the place of wood for
thawing purposes.
Owing to a handicap of this nature
much ground where pay has been lo
cated will lay idle all summer; ar
rangements are being made, however,
to offset the fuel question and Dime
creek next year should produce con
; siderable money.

DREAM THEATER
STAR FEATURE
When the Metro pictures corpora
tion decided to produce Frank L.
Packard's famous novel "Greater Love
Hath No Man,’’ in picture form, tho
directors of that organization cast
about for several months seeking the
proper type to' play the role of Varge.
After no little difficulty, Emmet Cor
rigan was derided upon. It took an
equally long time to Induce Mr. Cor
rigan to forego several legitimate en
gagements, but the fact that the pic
ture Is now completed is the best dem
onstration taht Metro generally gets
what It goes after.
"Greater Love Hath No Man” is a
thrilling and intense drama calling
for a great amount of emotional act
ing and In this sphere of the drama
no man on the American stage ex
ceeds Emtnet Corrigan in ability. His
remarkable performance In the star
part of "The Deep Purple” and bis
jpowejful and Impressive efforts In
“Other People’s Money” and dozens
of other Broadway successes, stamp
ed him as one of the leading, if not
the foremost American dramatic actor.

ICE GOES OUT EARLY
IN TANANA GENTER
Nugget Special Service.
FAIRBANKS, April 30.—Shortly
after three o'clock yesterday after
noon the Ice in the slew bulged tip
and with a m'lghty sweep went out
into the Tanana river . Hundreds of
Vairbanksans witnessed the surging
waters taking out the pillars of the old
bridge.
The new span erected by the Alas
ka road commission being over three
hundred feet across was crowded and
camera fiends were much in evidence.
There was nn ice jam shortly after
the break and it lookexl as if part
of the town would be flooded but the
jam broke and a mighty swirl of wa
ters dashed under the new bridge. ,
Superintendent Summers of the
road commission was in charge of
the work on the new bridge, it is
one complete span from bank to bank
and 'in that way is a boon to the
residents of Fairbanks who—every
year—had their bridge swept away
with the break-up.
As yet the Tanana and Yukon riv
ers still hold but there is much over
flow. These rivers are expected to
break up within the next week.
