LEAVE FOR OUTSIDE

past year have been in charge of
the Bureau of Education School sta
tioned at Kotzebue and will now
leave for the States to spend the

instructors will return next year to
continue their activities in the Bur
eau service.
Mrs. Traften Is an accomplished
pianist and presided at the piano

FINGERS FROZEN OX
SIBERIAN TRIP
The 15 year old son of Axel Olsen,
master of the gas boat Olive, was
last week taken to the hospital and
operated upon. While in Siberia
with his father the young man had
the fingers on his left hand badly
frozen. Nothing but the. crudest
medical attention was available and
he suffered terribly. Upon arrival
in Nome he was taken to the hospi
tal where Dr. Welch chloroformed
him and removed the bone of one
finger and dressed the entire hand.
Many people no doubt are un
nwares that there is such an insti
tution as the Public Health Service,
however, there is, and it functions
most admirably in Nome. Doctor
Welch is the local physician in
charge of Station No. 295 of the
Public Health Service, a service that
is primarily devoted to sickness or
disability of seamen. All seafar
ing men have access to this depart
ment without charge, the govern
ment furnishes the service free.

RUMOR DI8PELLED—
BOOZE CACHE SEIZED
The rumor of a booze cache bav
ins been seized, referred to in an
other item, has assumed a concrete
form. The marshals office sent a
team and wagon to the submarine
section and brought a load of hootch {
material and distillery equipment
The complaint upon which the
search warrant was issued and the
seizure made was sworn to by two
new comers, W. F. Henley and A.
Santimier.
They swear that on the 21st day
of July. 1922 they were in the neigh
berhood of the Itockaway Placer
mining claim about 2% miles west
of Nome on what is known as the
submarine; that they noticed a very
strong Oder of malt or distilled liq
uor. Upon approaching a certain
cabin painted yellow, the odor be
came more pronounced. They tried
the doors and found them locked
and the windows were covered with
some kind of opaque material pre
venting anything within being seen.
No person was seen about the pre
mises. These informants deemed
it for the public good to report their
suspicions to the Federal authorities
and forthwith entered separate com
plaints, which were sworn to on
July 28th. 1922.

KOUGAROK MINER
RETURNS TO NOME
Peter Sayther, who has been
working on his mining properties in
the Kougarok River district, return
ed to Nome this week. Mr. Sayther
and associates have been construct
ing a seven mile ditch at the head
of the Kougarok River and were
compelled to discontinue work on
account of a shortage of supplies.
Freighting conditions are such that
an operator must be possessed with
at least one year’s supplies ahead or
he cannot operate. Transporta
tion charges during the summer are
prohibitive as long as the Seward
Peninsula Railroad is out of com
mission. If the road were passable
one could easily send freight over
the road so that these northern
points could obtain supplies at a
price within their ability to pay.
Development of the Kougarok is
dependent upon the operation of the
railroad and without this aid the
mining Industry Is hampered im
measurably. To send supplies via
Teller and then transport them
across country is beyond the means
of the small operator and he is forc
ed to quit.

NOME CITY COUNCIL
MEETS REGULAR SESSION
With Mayor Geo. S. Maynard In
the chair and all members, with the
exception of Councilman Lehmann,
present the regular bi-monthly meet
ing of the Nome Common Council
was called to order at 8 p. m.
Councilman Litchenbei*. chair
man of the Police and Jail Commit
tee. reported that the city Jail had
been completed at a total cost of
$192.85 and that wtth the exception
of the necessary blankets the jail
is now ready to receive Inmates.
Councilman Julian, of the Health
and Relief Committee reported that
some Nomeites had disregarded the
order to clean their premises and
that they had been given ten days
further grace to cleanup or have the
work done by the city and charged
to the property. The 'majority of
Nome’s citizens heeded the call for
a general clean up and responded
promptly, but some refused to be
come inoculated with the germ of
civic pride and let the matter pass I
until further pressure was brought!
It having developed that the last
Grand Jury made some very pertin
ent suggestions as to the duty of
the city government to conduct its
own affairs and for the Pederal offic
ials to keep hands off the matter of
a regular patrolman was again pre
sented for consideration by our city
dads. This time the opposition
that had developed during the for
mer presentation of the employment
of a patrolman was overcome and
the majority of councilman voted
to employ such an official. Conse
qu ntly it was delegated to the
Police and Jail Committee to em
ploy a regular patrolman from the
first of August until the close of
navigation at the salary of $165.00
per month.
The rainy weather of the season
had caused the street drain on
Lane’s Way to break, west of the
telephone office, causing a washout
iu the street. Upon being report
ed the street carpenter was placed
in charge-and is now repairing the
damage. Excavation for a length'
of about twenty feet was necessary
to repair the drain.
Second avenue West will receive
numerous loads of gravel as soon
as weather conditions permit.
The entertainment committee, ap
pointed to receive and entertain the
members of the Huston party, I
bcught and presented to See. Hus
ton a beautiful old ivory tusk which
was embellished with a gold plate,
engraved "To Assistant Sec. Hus- i
ton. from the citizens of Nome."
As the Chamber of Commerce had
paid the luncheon, dance and other
expenses incident to the reception1
given the distinguished visitors, it
was deemed just and right that the
City of Nome should stand the ex
pense of this souvenir. According-!
ly the bill for the tusk, amounting j
to $30.00 was agreed upon by the ;
council.
There being no further business;
before the body adjournment was j
made until the next reguTar session, i

The tides at Nome are more or
less diurnal, that is. only one high
nutter and one loW water occur dur
ing a lunar day. The predicted
times of high and low water will not
always exactly correspond with the
actual occurence of the tides, as the
water levels are sometimes more de
pendent on wind than on tide. For
this reason no accurate prediction
of the height of water at high or
low tide can be given. The average
height of higher high tides above
mean lower low watefr for Nome it
•given as 1.6 ft. in the government
tide tables. All water levels are
referred to Mean Lower Low Water.
A monument in the southwest cor
ner of Barrack Square is 14 ft.
above this datum. An extreme
range of 18 ft. In the water levels
has been noted at Nome. During
the storm of 1913 the water rose to
14 ft. above M. L. L. W., and with
northerly winds in the fall it has
been 4 ft. below this datum.
MURDER JURY DISMISSED
THRU SEPARATION
OF ITS MEMBERS
Friday night at 8 o’clock the Jury
in the case of the United States vas.
Nick Ozendoff came Into court , and
reported no verdict reached.
Judge Lomen had been Informed
that during the dinner hour one of
the jurors, A. L. Hermansen, was
taien ill and accompanied by one of
the bailiffa, Wm. Talt, left the other
jurors and went to the Hermansen
home for some medicine. Fore
man Chas. Kennedy admitted that
this had been done. He stated that
the jurors separated, Hermansen
going home and the others going
into the jury room where In a f§w
minutes Hermansen appeared.
Marshal Griffith was called upon
I by the court to explain and the
marshal stated that this act had oc
curred without his knowledge.
Chief Deputy G. A. Adams admitt
ed that he was present when bailiff
Tait and juror Hermansen left to
gether, but failed to give the act its
proper significance.
Judge Lomen thf-n stated that
when a bailiff takes his oath of
office he swears to keep the jury In
tact. to prevent any separation with
in his power or ability, and that
while in this case no malice or de
liberate violation of law was intend
ed. the act was unfortunate.
Upon motion of District Attorney
Herrieon, Judge Lomen discharged
the' jury from furthers deliberation
upon this particular case, for the
reason that had they rendered a rer
I diet of guilty the verdict would con
stitute a reversible error. In as
much as no verdict had been readi
ed any verdict reached after the
commission of this act would . also
constitute a reversible error.
Both Judge Lomen and District
Attorney Harrison expressed the
belief that this unfortunate circum
stance had arisen thru Inadvertence
and not thru malice and acted ac
cordingly. The jury was discharg
ed to meet in the Federal Court
room Tuesday at 11 a. m.
The date for a new trial In this
murder case will be set later and a
new jury selected.
Attorneys Cochran and Orton
represented the defendant.
The jurors in this case were:
Wm. Arthurs. Sam Torkelson, A.
Nicholson, Chas. Kennedy, S. J.
Bahlke, Ben Nygren, H. Hendricks,
Arthur Wright. C. Brooks, James
Cahill, R. W. Ledgerwood and A.
L. Hermansen.
Bailiffs: Wm. Tait and O. A,
Adams.
