THE COMMUNITY'S WELFARE AND PROSPERITY !
BESIDES THE REGULAR ISSUE of the Nome Nugget, published
June 17th, an extra edition of over three hundred copies wa- issued and
distributed to all parts of the United States.
What must be the impression of people in the States receiving
these papers? How many business houses are represented in the adver
tising columns? Certainly a number of our business men who proclaim
a deep seated interest in this community’s welfare and prosperity are
overlooking a vital point in bringing new comers and new prosperity to
this camp.
In each mail this newspaper is in receipt of inquiries relating to
business opportunities, resources and general information pertaining to
Nome and adjacent territory.
As the Nugget cannot write a letter to each inquiry our policy
is to send a Nome Weekly Nugget .and let the paper speak for its self.
Naturally when receiving a newspaper from a new community the
person interested in the resources of that country looks to find what kind
and how many business concern are in the community, what fraternal
organizations are represented, how many lawyers, doctors, dentists and
other professional men are located in the community.
The last issue of the Nome Nugget was sent to all partly of the
United ~3tates*~an<I ncT dobut the impression received by those intending
to come to Nome will be that we have no grocery stores, drug store, doctors
or lawyers, lighterage plant, electric light plant, steam heating plant,
telephone service, barber shops, undertaker, carpenters, automobile es
tablishment, blacksmith or machine shops.
The Nome Nugget is doing its share willingly in an effort to make
Nome a prosperous camp, to bring more people Into the community, but
the business men, who are also the beneficiaries are in duty bound to
assist in the new and continued prospe^ty by placing advertisements in
th« Nome Weekly Nugget and thereby assisting in the propaganda of
informing the people as to our opportunities, resources and advantages.
ARK \VK TH1XKIXK ABOUT IT ?
ARE WE FORGETTING the approach of the great national holiday
_The FOURTH OF JULY ? Shall Nome celebrate the day or shall she
be indifferent? These are questions that call for attention.
Some organization should take the leadership and management.
Better still, why not the local post of the great American Legion ? The
post is composed of boys who can better handle the celebration than any
other organization, because of the “pep” they put in whatever they set
a point to their aims. They don’t do things half way. On the con
trary. they go the limit. They are the men we need to manage the day
and bring a large number of outside people here for the occasion.
GETTING THE PUBLIC' EAR.
HOW TO TALK to the greatest possible number of people in a day
has been a study of all men who have led in projects whose success depend
ed upon the colume of patronage or support at the hands of the people.
Leaders in the exploits of war or in business or other lines have appreciated
the necessity of reaching the ear of the greatest number of people in
the shortest possible time .
In olden days the merchant sent his agents through the country
side or the city or awaited for one person to convey the news to another,
or talked up his wares over the counter to one individual at a time. It
was a long and tedious process and returns came slowly.
Now the merchant who does business on modern principles does
not wait for the patron to come down town or make a trip in from the
country and sacrifice hours or days to learn what is on sale. People
have learned that there is little need of giving up so much time when
the daily paper is a medium of distribution of store news as well as
current events of the day.
The buying public is quite as anxious to get store new* each day
as it Is to get news of social or other current events.
The live merchant has awakened to this fact, and. instead of wait
ing for people to stroll into his place, one-at a time, to learn what he has
on the shelf, he puts the whole story in the paper.
The man behind the counter can talk to one man at a time. The
newspaper talks to hundreds at one time, and talks to them every issue.
The moral is clear. Those who are receiving new goods—often goods
for which people have been waiting for a long time—should notify their
customers at once.* The way to doit in NOME is to advertise in the Nome
Nugget. The NUGGET covers the field and is the connecting line
between the. seller and the buyer—the means by which to reach and hold
tk public e»r. '

The Nome Chamber of Commerce

TO WHOM IT MAY COXCKIt.V
Owing to adverse criticism hav
ing been made regarding my resign
ing the position of Deputy Marshal,
at St. Michael, I wish to state that
in the month of August. 1918 !
was appointed Deputy 1?. S. Mar
shal stationed at St. Michael under
Marshal E. R. Jordan.
After serving one month of my
term as deputy I received word
from the Y. M. C. A. at Seattle
l to enter the service and go to France
with our troops at the front. I im
I mediately resigned my position and
took the steamship Watson to Seat
tle and from there went to San
Francisco where I was assigned ar
physical director to be attached to
the Rainbow Division in France. I
purchased my ticket and made all
arrangements to leave San Francis
co and join my detachment at Ho
boken. but before my train left the
Armistice was declared. This will
refute a statement made that my
resignation was forced by Marshal
Jordan.

BUDGET FOR l«22-’2S YEAR
A special meeting of the Nome
Common Council was called Wed
nesday Jun* 21st, at 7 p. m., by
Mayor Geo. S. Maynard. The mat.
ler for consideration was the Budget
nf the. Nome School Board for the
school year 1922-’23. All mem
bers of the Council were pres*nt.
An invitation had been extended to
members of the School Board to
attend this meeting, but none of
th« m appeared.
At the last regular meeting of
the Nome Common Council Mr.
\'els Swanberg. School treasurer,
made an arbitrary demand for a
certain sum of money to be used in
the coming school y<ar. Cpon
being asked for a budget he replied
that the budget of last year was all
that was necessary for the Council’s
consideration. He was informed
that the Council d* manded specific
data as to requirements for the com
ing year and demanded a detailed
statement of such requirements.
Clerk Baldwin was requested to
prepare such budget, which subse
quently was done. The budget
submitted by Clerk Baldwin was
turned over to the Finance Com
mittee. Henry Burgh and Chari* s
Cavey. This committee, made per
sonal investigation of the school
needs as presented by the School
Board and then at the. special meet
ing of June 21st presented their re
port. which materially reduced the
amount ’demanded by the School
In the original request of th<
Board $15,925.50 was asked for the
new school year, of which one fourth
or $3981.38 was the proportionate
share of the City of Nome, the Ter
ritory of Alaska to pay the remain
ing three fourths.
The report of the Finance Com
mittee reduced the amount asked to
$11,300.00 or $3075.00 for the city
to pay. thereby saving the City of
Nome and its taxpayers $906.38.
In the budget presented by the
Board four teachers and one super
intendent was called for, this the
Finance cut to three teachers and
one Superintendent, reducing the
teaching staff to four instead of five
as presented by the Board.
Mr. Baldwin had been shown the
report of the Finance Committer
and agreed to all reductions except
that effecting the number of teach
Councilman Burgh moved the ac
ceptance of the Finance Committee
report, seconded by Councilman
Cavey and upon being put to a vote
the report was carried. Burgh
Cavey. Litchenberg and Solberf,
voted for the modified budget: and
Julian and Lehmann voting no.
A motion was made and carried
to immediately inform Clerk Bald
win of the action taken by the Coun
cil so that his Board could send the
budget to Juneau where it must ar
rive ifi time to receive consideration
by the Territorial Board of Educa
A copy was made of the revised
budget and the Chief of Police wa*
instructed to detail one of his men
to make personal delivery to Mr.

meet again in regular session.
