2nd Division Legislators
Guests of Nome Chamber
The Chamber of Commerce had
as guests yesterday noon Rep
resentatives Ted Duffield and
Charles Fagerstrom, who have
just returned from trips to the
States following the legislative
session in Juneau.
Duffield, who went as far as
Panama and Jamaica, states that
he 'believes the most important
single accomplishment of the ses
sion was the legislation which cre
ated the Department of Territorial
Police, which will be to Alaska
what the Mounted Police are to
Canada and is an important step
towards statehood.
Fagerstrom, who covered the
States by car with his wife and
States from coast to coast by car
with his wife and small son, said
he believes statehood would solve
many problems of the territory.
Both men, who were new to
the legislature, feel that they have
learned a great deal and would be
better able to serve the Second
Division at the next session, be
cause of the experience gained.

facts,’ or ‘You lie.’
“Since this was the first or
ganized contest of Sug-looo ever,
we maintain Bill Saxton is the
amateur champion ‘Sug-loo’ of the
world, until he is defeated in an
other such contest, conducted un
der the rules, played either here,
there or yonder.”
