Nome’s Mayor
“Annexes” Section
Yukon River
Mayor Alvin Polet who attend
ed the Fairbanks Carnival, and
who was “pleasingly” marooned
at Koyukuk Station when the en
gine of the plane in which he
was returning, developed trouble,
arrived safely at Nome, Monday
to take up again the serious mat
ter of steering the city “Ship of
State.”
It appears from what can be
learned that the Mayor spent
many hours listening to radio
broadcasts while marooned for
about a week, and decided to as
similate the “Blood-Language”
system of Hitler and Mussolini,
which we have read so much
about in the past few weeks.
Therefore, without waiting for a
meeting of the city council, de
cided to take over and annex the
territory and all its inhabitants
in and around Koyukuk Station
and beyond, including the frozen
waters of the mighty Yukon Riv
er. clear to the Bering Sea. prom
ising them the friendly protec
tion of the great Northwest
against all foes, be they fisher
men, trappers, or prospectors.
This being accomplished with
out any show of fight or use of
arms, he commandeered the wait
ing airplane, and commanded the
stalled engine to start and keep
going—and lo! and behold! there
was great rejoicing when the en
gine started and did not stop
again until reaching Nome.
A special meeting of the Nome
City Council was called to order
last night by Mayor Alvin Polet
who has been absent from the
city about two weeks. Four mem j
bers were in attendance and lit-!
tie important business was trans i
acted, beyond the appointment of'
judges and clerks for the coming'
municipal and school board el
ection. Following are the names!
of those who were nominated
and appointed: Judges, John
Starr, B. M. Buckley and Henry
Hannum. Clerks. Mrs. Ella Chap
