something out of the usual is now
in order. During the evening a
certain time wilt be set aside for
the dusky inhabitants of Nome to
exhibit their proficiency, in native
dances. Not only will their folk

sists of enthusiastic association
members and men of experience in

OIL PKRMIT HOLDERS
MAY PROCEED
On March 2nd the Bulletin con
tained a telegram from Washington
stating that the President had with
drawn from entry oil and gas pros
pecting permits In that section of
Alaska extending from ihe Endieott
Mountains to the Arctic Ocean, in
cluding some 25,000 scree of land.
The local Land Office has been be
«eiged with inquiries from holders
of prospecting permits and appliea
ants for permits asking how their
permits and applications will be
effected by the new ruling.
To satisfy themselves and to set
at rest the minds of the public the
Nome Land Office telegraphed the
General Land Office at Washington
for information and instructions
and received the following reply:
Washington, March 7. 1923.
REGISTER AND RECEIVER.
Nome, Alabka.
In reply to your telegram of March
sixth. It is valid to remit applica
tions filed prior to February 11th.
These are not affected by the Presi
dential Proclamation. Drilling may
proceed on permits. Reject, appli
cations filed subsequent to said date.
SPRY, Commissioner.
From this telegram it Is decided
that permits already issued obtain
and that applications field prior to
Feb. 27th will proceed to perfection.
Those who filed their applications In
the Land Office after Feb. 27th,
1922, will be effected by the procla
mation and their applications will
be rejected.
Nome contains a number of per
sona who have already filed their
permits and thoae fortunate ones
need not worry, their holdings are
sound and la no wise invalidated
by the Proclamation of withdrawal.
