The Swedish Lutheran Evan
gelical Mission Society of Chica
go, with Missions located at Un
aiakleet. Golovin, White Moun
tain, Candle and Haycock, shipp
ed in via the last boat a 3-place
Fairchild airplane for use in Mis
sion work.
The Rev. Carlson, a missionary
worker, is a "sky-pilot" in more
ways than one, having taken a
course in aviation while in the
States a year ago. He is to leave
shortly for Fairbanks to take his
examination for a private pilot’s
license. Pilot Sig Wien will fly
the Mission plane, and neo-phyte
y lot, to Fairbanks, returning
with a brand new Sessna plane
to add to the local Wien Airlines
fleet.
The Reverend Carlson will re
turn. master of his own ship, and
a full fledged pilot of the air.
It begins to look as though our
old friend Isadore Fix is definite
ly gone from among us. The
well known and highly regarded
old timer has taken his last
earthly trail, lost, it is true on
his final prospecting trip, but we
may be kutfe that his valiant
sj. rit encountered no difficulty
in finding the trail that leads to
eternal rest and peace.
Mrs. Fix, the former Edna
Christopherson, came into town
Monday from Bunker Hill, and
reports that though searching
parties have been scouring the
region in which Isadore was
prospecting, no trace of him can
be found.
As it is now nearly two months
. since he set off on his final trip
into the hills the presumption is
that some unexpected accident
occurred, or that he met death
by drowning in attempting to
ford one of the numerous streams
of the district.
Mrs. Fix returned to Bunker
Hill Tuesday, determined to
prosecute the search until some
definite trace can be obtained of
Isadore’s disappearance.'
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sund

Bertha McKay, former Nomeite
of many years, who now is liv
ing in Ketchikan where she is
engaged as .private secretary to
Attorney Lester O. Gore, former
United State* District Judge for
the Second Division.
Among those departing for a
winter in the States were the
Stokes brothers, Jim and Harold,
both of whom are among our old
est inhabitants in point of years
of residence. Jim has been in
poor health for some time past
and is going South to seek both
medical attention and California
sunshine. Harold, who has not
been outside for many years, is
maiking the trip especially to
take in the San F rancisco
World’s Fair and to visit rela
tives and old friends.

and son Dell, who have resided

half years, sailed for Seattle on

Y W. Alaska Fair
Postponed Until
October 20
—
At a meeting of the Board of]
Directors of the N. W. Alaska
Fair Association, held in the Odd
Fellows hall on Monday night, it
was unanimously agreed to defer
this years Fair one week, the
new dates set being Thursday,
October 20th, Friday October 21,
and Saturday October 22nd.
The reasons for the postpone
ment were several, the most im- i
portant of which being concern
ed with attendance. In order to
have a successful Fair in Nome
it is necessary that it be held
when the town has its largest
quota of people. Fairs are
dreary things without the human
element in large numibers.
The week prior to the sailing
of the last boat for the States
always sees Nome thronged with
people. It was with this in mind
that the Fair dates were origin
ally set for Oct. 13, 14, 15. How
ever. the Alaska S. S. Co. saw fit
to delay the sailing of their last
steamer from Seattle until Oct.
15th. This will bring the vessel
to Nome not earlier than Oct. 24
25.
Then too with the softness of
the weather and apparent late
ness of the fall. It became ap
parent that outr various Seward
Peninsula mining operations
would continue late into October,
thus not permitting a large num
ber of people to come into Nome
until just prior to the last boat
sailing.
With the additional week in '
which to assemble exhibits and
entertainment, and attend to the
numerous details connected with
the Fair generally, it would ap
pear that the postponement sho
uld prove quite beneficial in
more ways than one.
