The passing out of the ice in Ber
ing Sea last evening \va? attended
by a real thrill or two, when it be
came known th. t Mr. Kleinschmidt
and his party of movie people were
out on the ice when it broke loose.
The party was out at the far edge
of the ice. near the open water, and
when they saw they were adrift,
they made haste to gather at th ■
shore side of the floating ice. with
an unpleasant stretch of open water
between them and land. After a
while, however, a boat put off from
shore and rescued the party, who

PKLIVtJtEVT TAX MHT
VOW TIETVC; PITWJSHED
The Nugget has just completed I
one of the biggest jobs of tabulation |
that it has ever tackled. The type- |
setting and tabulating of the entire j
tax list was done on the No. Three \
Linotype machine without tfte use I
of adjustable tabuation equipment, i
The work was naturally slow and ;
hazardous and caused considerable
mental anguish to follow out the j
numerous columns of figures and j
the different spacing required be- j
tween the figures.
This is the first time in seven !
years that the delinquent tax roll
has been advertised, mainly due to
the expense involved, but owing to
the fact that many taxpayers have
taken advantage of the fact that the
city did not advertise delinquents,
the City Council has decided it
provementr, t<> the streets and other
things, so in justice to those who
pay their taxes every year it was
deemed advisable to advertise out
ithe delinquent tax payers. Another
; feature which presents itself is the
[fact that numerous persons now
I wish to buy property and until the
! city receives an order from the
Court to sell the property so adver
tised. the City is unable to give title
to parties who wish to purchase the
In view of the fact that the city is
in need of the money to carry on
civic affairs, tihe fire department,
street work, lighting of the streets
in winter, and the construction of
Wharfs along Snake River. and
I many other little necessary expens
es. it is to be hoped that the people
will take a broader view of the city
affairs and help to maintain these
essential improvements by paying
their taxes without additional cost
being added. The Management of
the Nugget has made a special low
rate to the city for this advertising
in order to help clear up the out
standing taxes and keep Nome on a
cash basis.
