N W A Chamber Holds
Get-Together Yesterday
The N. W. A. Chamber of Com
merce held a get-to-gether lunch
eon yesterday noon at the North
Pole Bakery, with President Wil
bur Wood Presiding.
Two guests introduced and wel
ccmed to Nome were young pro
fessional men who are establish
ing themselves here: Dr. Donald
V. Anderson who is assisting Dr.
Thomas Morcom in the practice
of medecine; and Dr. Maxwell
Kennedy who has opened a mod
ern dental office. Both gentle
men expressed themselves as en
joying their associations with the
people of Nome and thanked the
Chamber for its warm welcome.
Mr. Everett Wood who is in
Nome on a short business trip
from the Seattle office of the
Lomen Commercial Co. was also
presented to the gathering.
Several communications were
read by Secretary A. Polet. A let
ter from the Alaska Miners’ As
sociation with reference to prior
ities in relation to placer mining
was read. A motion was passed
that the matter be put up to
Delegate Dimond and that he be
advised that the Chamber urges
him to take every step necessary
to protect the mining industry as
regards priority ratings consist
ent with national defense.
Considerable discussion arose
from a letter received from the
U. S. Engineers which stated that
Lomen Commercial Co. had
made application to use a certain
part of the revetment at Snake
River, and notifying the Cham
ber that it might oppose the ap
plication if it cared to, but that
if no communication is received
by Nov. 21 they would take it
for granted that there is no ob
jection. It was explained that no
permanent monopoly could be
possible even if use of all the pro
perty along the revetment were
to be granted because the matter
is entirely in the hands of the
U.S. Engineers and they can with
draw the privilege of using the
property at any time. As a re
sult no action was taken on the
communication.
The next meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce Board will be
at the North Pole Bakery Novem
ber 25 for a business session.
It is expected that the next
general meeting will be held
Tuesday, December 2. at the
Nevada Grill at which time it is
anticipated that officers of the U.
S. Army who are stationed at
the Post here will be invited to
attend.
