Hermann and Kelliher
Bring Prisoner To Nome
From Point Barrow
Russell Hermann, U.S. attorney,
and Maurice Kelliher, deputy U.S.
marshal, returned Wednesday
from Barrow.
They were brought down in a
boat by U.S. Commissioner Hugh
Saltsman of Barrow, and they
took with them Joe Kunalakuk,
Who was charged with larceny.
The two Nome officials stayed
at the Arctic Contractors, which
is being closed down. All con
struction workers are scheduled
-to leave Barrow by October 1, but
a maintenance crew of five men
will remain at the site. The Arctic
Research Laboratory will con
tinue its work with a staff of 14.
An early winter is predicted by
Barrow residents, Mr. Hermann
says. The temperature has already
dropped, there is quite a lot of
shore ice, and the lagoons have
started to freeze. Hermann said
the Barrow people have caught
only four walrus this season but
that baluga, ducks and caribou
have been plentiful.

Thawed Ground Under
West Wing of Federal
Bldg. Causes Settling
Work has been done the past
several days in and around the
west wing of the Federal build
ing, by Pete Reader and a crew
of men, trying to determine the
depth to which/the ground under
the building is thawed.
In this connection K. G. Aber
nathy of the Public Building Ser
vice of Seattle, and E. P. Ha/nil
ton of the Alaska Territorial Jail
System have been overseeing the
work.
The west wing of the Federal
building has been settling for sev
eral years and this past year sa
alarmingly that steps were called
for to determine the cause.
It has been found that the
whole underlayment under the
west wing has settled, due no
doubt, to the thawing of the
ground underneath, placing the
weight of the entire structure on
beams which were designed only
to carry the weight of the upper
stories.
Temperature points have been
driven down as far as possible by
hand methods, about 25 feet, and
it has been determined that the
ground is not frozen.
It is expected that by the first
of the week the necessary cor
rective measures will be deter
mined and the work will be done
next spring.
FIRE CALL THURSDAY A.M.
The Nome Fire Department was
called out about 10 o’clock yester
day to the residence of Tommy
Peyanna behind the school.
A mattress had caught fire the
night before. The blaze was put
out and the mattress was put in a
closet, but it had smoldered until
fire broke out again. Only the
mattress was damaged.
