STREET COMMITTEE BUSY
OX DRY CREEK BRIDGE
The Street Committee or the Nome
City Council has begun the repair
of the Dry Creek bridge The piers
will be raised and straightened and
planking will be placed on the floor
of the bridge. Instead of replacing
the entire floor of the bridge, two
rows of twelve inch planks will be
run length wise across the structure
affording a safe passage for horses
and wagons and thereby remove a
source of great danger to freight
The Street Committee and its
capable assistant, the city carpenter,
are to be congratulated upon the re
pair of B street north. At the Car
ter Laundry the planking of the
street sank, leaving a hole in the
street that effectually stopped all
traffic. A low spot in the tundra ad
joining the street drained the entire
surrounding country and undermin
ed the street blocking, causing the
street to sink. A drain was run
from Dry Creek to the laundry and
the lake thereby removed. The
street Is now open for vehicles.
B street has become one of the
main thoroughfares of the city,

ENTHUSIASTIC HARBOR
MEETING HELD DIET
HULL THURSO*
On Thursday evening the Harbor
Committee of the Nome Common
Council met in the City Clerk’s office
tor consideration of the construction
of the Nome City Municipal Wharf
and Lighterage plant.
The Harbor Committee, the Mayor
and several invited guests were pre
sent and participated in the general
discussion. Mr. Edwards of the
Hammon Company, Mr. Morse of the
Yuba Mfg. Company, E. E. Powell,
Engineers John A. Wilson and Mr.
Smith of the Road Commission ex
pressed their views regarding the
feasibility and necessity of the con
struction of an independent wharf
and lighterage plant. Chps. Rice,
former mayor of Nome, gave a re
sume of the steps taken during his
administration to further the worthy
project.
Mr. Edwards stated he felt sure
his company would consider favor
ably rendering financial assistance
in carrying the work to successful
conclusion, but that he would not be
able to speak authoritatively as to
how' far his company would go in
the venture until he had presented
the matter to Mr. Hammon, who will
arrive later in the season.
More complete details and a defin
ite plan for organization are being
prepared and will be submitted at
another meeting.
The movement to remedy present
conditions has now begun to assume
concrete form and within a reason
able length of time the City of Nome
will be in a position to assume con
trol of the lighterage situation.
Snake River Harbor once dredged,
according to the government plans,
is the logical point for discharging
lighters. During stormy weathei
when it is impossible for a llghtei
to make any other landing the rlvei
affords a sure and safe harbor, where
unloading may proceed without in
terruption. Small boats will at all
times be able to make the river and
I escape the hear? seas and can enter,
j unload and depart without difficulty.
I The projected plan contemplates
the construction of a Municipal
wharr and warehouses at the foot of
I 1) Street, at the end of the present
revetment. As the City of Nome
has the government permit to pursue
this project; as the city owns the
property along the river, there is
little likehood of any private inter
ests being able to interfere with the
movement and construct competing
and conflicting interests.
SHIP MUD IT WHl
AMUNDSEN HE
TO POINT BARROW
According to a report the explor
ing ship Maud at midnight Aug. 2nd
was close to Wrangel Island in the
ice. The Maud had been to Point
Hope from which place she proceed
ed to her drift across the Polar
Captain Amundsen. Lieut. Omdal
and photographer Lund left the
Maud and went aboard the Ameri
can schooner C. P. Holmes, where
the big airplane had been transferr
ed to be taken to Point Barrow. The
report further states that due to the
lateness of the season and the pres
ence of so much ice the proposed
flight from Barrow to Spitzbergen
will likely be postponed until next
6eason. If Capt. Amundsen finds
that weather conditions will permit,
the flight will be attempted this year,
hut it seems at the present time an
improbability.
Lieut. Fullerton, the Canadian
aviator employed to make the trans
polar flight, evidently had some mis
understanding with the heads of the
expedition and left the employ of
Amundsen. It is presumed that Mr.
Fullerton will arrive In Nome on
some of the smaller vessels plying
along the coast.
According to a telegram, quoting
Henry Woodhouse of New York.
Capt. Amundsen has not given up
the proposed plan to fly from Barrow
to Spitzbergen and will hop off from
Barrow in a few days; that accord
ing to secret plans of Amundsen,
this will be accomplished.
While Mr. woocinousc may do
aware of all secret plans of Amund
sen he evidently is not acquainted
with the ice conditions prevailing
in this northern country at the pre
sent time, and therefore any state
ment he may make has the disad
vantage of too long distance from
the scene of operation.
SUCTION DREDGE MAKES
OFICIAL START TODAY
The suction dredge constructed to
work on the Snake River Harbor
was towed from its moorings at the
foot of D Street to the initial point
of beginning operations, opposite
the Harbor Light Tower and at 11
a. m. today made its official start.
The machine worked perfectly and
demonstrated without doubt that
the plan adopted is the Tight and
economical one.
Mr. Keenan stated that with ten
days fair weather the work of re
moving the 7.000 yards of material
will be completed.
