That the prospects are excellent
that the initial work on the Snake
Diver harbor project will be com
menced shortly after the arrival £f
the first boats, is the outstanding in
ference of a telegram reaching the
Nome Chamber of Commerce yester
day. The message which is from En
gineer Preston. in charge of the
Northwestern Division, under whose
direetion the work will be done, re
quests information regarding the
present condition of the Ernst Broth
ers dredge, now located west of Nome
and what will be the approximate
cos* of necessary repairs and to bring
the dredge to Nome. Engineer Pres
t««n also wants to know if anyone in
Nome would contract to move the
dredge to Snake river qbout the mid
dle of June and asks if other suitable
dredges are available that could be
leased if wanted. The engineer
says In- do*>s not want to do the work
by day labor and enquires if a rea
sonable contract can be made for
dredging and revetment work.
The newly appointed Hoard of Di
rectors of the Nome Chamber of Com
merce held their first meeting at the
offices of (>. D. Cochran and perfected
organization Monday. W. J. Howe,
was chosen president and A. l*olet
secretary. Among other business
transacted was the appointment of
Jafet I.indcberg to the position of
National Councilor for the purpose
.f representing the local organization
on the Chamber of Commerce of the
I'nited States. The board devoted
some time to the discussion of a
program for future activities. Among
the more important subjects mention
ed was a proposal to back up the re
cent recommendation of Governor
Riiggs in his report to the Secretary
of the Interior that water transporta
tion to and from Alaska be taken
over by the government and alto the
additional recommendation that the
government undertake the distribu
tion of Alaska coal from the Mata
nuska fields. The matter of secur
ing an additional appropriation from
Congress for the construction of jet
ties at the entrance to the projected
Snake River Harbor, was also dis
cussed and will form a part of the
future endeavors. It is also practical
ly decided that the Chamber of Com
merce will renew their efforts to se
cure appropriations fo»- the much
discussed Nome, iCougarok, Candle
load and other needed highways.
Considerable discussion was devoted
to the municipal taxation question
and it is probable that some effort
will be made to alter and revise the
present methods along more equitable
lines.
The board discussed the school
question at some length and will pro
bably undertake to secure a change
in the present system which will turn
the control of all schools in the ter
ritory over to the Territorial govern
ment. regardless of whether they are
located in incorporated towns or not.
The advisability of seeking to secure
closer trade relation* with the Siber
ian coast, and also a number of
others of equal importance Ho this
section w’ere taken up and will prob
ably to turned over to committees
for future action. The board will
meet again Saturday evening at 7:30
p. m. and appoint the various com
mittees on whom will devolve thd
special labors of the organisation.
Contrary to the general surmise
that the modification of thv .nail re
gulations means that the mair from
this section will come through t<
Nome direct from Kaltag, llc.iltl
Commissioner Dr. Neuman state
that the consignment destined to
Some will probably arrive here in tin
near future, but will not follow th«
usual schedule. ' The Nome consign
ment arriving at Unalakleet trorr
Kaltag will be routed .as far as Wall;
Walla, which is located practicall:
on the edge of the district infected by
the influenza. The several tons o
mail for this section will first b<
moved forward from Kaltag to Una
lakleet, which Is now the main dls;
tributlng point for*the entire North
western District. On arrival there
the consignments for points outside
the infected zone will be sent for
uiard to their (destinations. These
will include shipments for tlie vari
ous uninfected settlements in th<
southern section of the Second Divi
sion, as well as to Dime Creek, Can
die. Kotzebue, Deering and more nor
therly points, all of which are out
side of the infected zone. In thr
meantime the mails consigned tc
points in the infected district will be
moved to Walla Walla. When the
shipments arrive there, they will b<
held until all are in and will then b<
allowed to come forward. Dr. Neu
man states that he will make an ef
fort to have the Postal authorities
to grant permission for a temporary
modification of the usual twice a
week sen-ice which will permit tw<
teams to take the mail from Walla
Walla at the same time, thereby
greatly- facilitating its delivery* t'
Nome and other points in the infect
ed district. An official will probably
be stationed at Walla Walla to see
that the transferor mail will be con
ducted in a safe manner, so that there
will be no danger that the influenza
may be carried back into the unin
fected section by the carriers. J
will require some little time to bring
the mail from Kaltag to Walla Walla
Dr. Neuman is of the opinion tha1
matters can be so arranged that the
delayed shipments will commence tc
arrive here in about two or three
weeks.
