l-o t Davis, a few miles from Nome,
one of the five army posts in
Alaska, is to be abandoned, accord
ing to word just received. Next to
Fort Gibbon, at Tatiana, Alaska. Fort.
Davis is 1’nele Sam’s farthest north
ern army station.
The soldiers at Fort Davis are to
!>•* transferred to Fort St. Michael,
Alaska, which lies near the mouth of
the Yukon river. Washington prtfh
ablv thinks St. Michael a better place*
for the men, as the point is busy
during the summer months with the
transferring of passengers and freight
from ocean steamers to the Yukon
river steamboats.
Nome does not want to see Fort
Davis abandoned and a number of pro
tests have been sent to Washington.
The order to give up the post was
made in line with the government’s
new retrenchment policy, it is be
lieved.
Fort Davis is located closer to over
seas foreign shores than any other
American mainland army post, it has
been pointed out. The Nome Nugget
speaks of the sad plight fortless Nome
would be in if a sloop-load of hostPo
Bolsheviki should sail across from the
eastern Siberian shores.
