A telegram has been received by
the Nome Chamber of Commerce,
from President Bunch of the Alaska
Steamship Company, stating that
unless a decided increase of tonnage
In procured for the next regular sail
ing of the Victoria no trip will M
made until August, thereby doing
away with the July sailing.
On Jbls.'her first trip, the Victoria
carried 22 tons for St. Michael, 305
tons for Golovin and 1100 tons for
Nome. Much empty space was left
in the boat that usually Is taxed to
the limit on the first sailing.
Mr. Carrol. Nome agent for the
Steamship Company, stated that If
Nome merchants and operators will
wire out their orders instead of
jvrittng them and so increase the
available tonnage regular trips can
be maintained.
A Chamber of Commerce meeting
was called Friday night and Mr.
Carroll attended. At the meeting
the telegram from Mr. Bunch was
discussed and it was determined to
telegraph to Delegate Dan Suther

Abandonment of Port St. Michael
is an established fact and the gor
ernment contemplates sending a U.
S. transport to St. Michael to carry
out the baggage and equipment of

Company asks that the government,
adopt the same policy as that pur
sued in other parts of the United
States, namely, that of turning over
government business to private car
riers or shipping board carriers and
so keep up our Merchant Marine.
According to Mr. Carroll unless this
government business is obtained by
the Alaska Steamship Company no

ICE COMES BACK AFTER
LEAVING ROADSTEAD
Tuesday Junfc 13th, Nome road
stead was clear of all ice and th<
Nome Lighterage Company prepared
to launch its various .scows and the
tug Genexieve. preparatory to the
arrival of the good boat Victoria.
At 4:00 p. m. a strong current
sweeping from the east brought with
it heavy fields of Norton Hay ice
which in a few minutes covered the
entire roadstead as far as the eye
rould see. The Lighterage Com
pany immediately stopped all launch
ing and made safe its property from
the grinding ice. Just before the
ice struck Nome, the company had
launched the tug Dayton from the
company dock and ran her to Snake
river harbor where she entered and
tied up. thus giving the company
one boat for communication with i
Ihe Victoria.
Since the return of ice Nome has
been laboring under an •intermittent I
fog and clear weather condition. I
The Vic still rides the outer edge
of harbor ice. while the Lighterage
Company, anxiously awaits clear
weather so that unloading can pro
ceed . All passengers are ashore
but as nothing but hand baggage has
been landed some little inconven
ience is being experienced. A brisk
north wind will in a few minutes
clear away the iee and enable un
loading to proceed rapidly,
Agent Carroll of the Alaska S. S.
Company states that within fifty
hours after beginning to unload all
the cargo will be ashore and within
three daj*s the Victoria will be on
hor way to the outside via Golovin.
