Itoad House. Conducted by Mrs. W.
J. Howe. In a few minutes flames
were been bursting thru the roof.
Mr. Shaughnessy and other Solomon

whatever assistance they could. The
Bonanza Roadhouse is over a mlile
from Solomon and before the fire
fighters reached the scene‘the flames
had gained too much headway, and
in a short time the Roadhouse land
adjoining warehouse were both
burned 'to the ground. The Wg
barn, close by. was untouched by the
flames. Nothing except a few per
sonal belongings were saved from
the burned buildings.
In a telephone message to Nome.

EXTRA RUN FOR SENDING
MKSSA(iFJS—FILE YOUR
MESSAGES EARLY
Due to a thoughtless attitude on
the part of the* public the members
of ‘the Signal Corps have bee'n forc
ed to work 1‘ong over time. Ft has
become the citstom to wait until the
last minute of the day before filing
messages and as it he operators must
remain on duky until all Messages
are sent an unnecessary hardship
has been Imposed. To overcome
this Ias>t minute congestion a special
run ds n'ow provided for. Bach d'ay
a't 2:00 P. M.'a special run will be
gin. and all night or day messages
filed before th'ait time will receive
immediate attention.
.No one in Nome wants the boys
to be imposed upon and when the
people realize 'the meaning of last
minute filing there is no doubt but
tha't they will file earlier and give
the operators a chance fo finish
their work in time.
The new 2:00 P. M. run became
effective Thursday. May 10th.

At Reduced Prices
Owing to our steadily increased business
in the last two years and the addition of a Ladies
Department, in connection with our overcrowded
Men’s Store, it therefore forces us to look for more
space.
We have decided to open an up-to-date
Exclusive Ladies and Children’s Emporium, to be
located in the Odd Fellows Building, across the
street from our old establishment. We will reserve
' the entire present location for an Exclusive up to
date Men’s Store. ,
In connection with our Retail Stores we will
maintain a Wholesale Department.
The first boats will bring us enough merchan
dise to meet the demands of the most discrimin
ating buyers.
