FICTION WR1TKR SKNIIK
FAKE STORY OUTBIDS
The Nome Nugget is in receipt of
the following dispatch from the As
sociated Press: Opposition carried
a story saying. ‘ Snow going fast, a
fleet of Automobiles is expected to
be in Wainwright to witness the
hop off of Amundsen in his Polar
flight, the news of his hop off will
be sent to Nome by Automobile.”
the Associated Press continued with
“This does not seem reasonable but
we are leaving it up to the Nome
Nugget to advise us concerning con
ditions. So far your reports have
been the only reliable ones concern
ing the expedition. Thank you for:
the keen interest shown in this mat-j
Here is another example of the
fiction writers who spend the sum-,
mer in Alaska and then go outside
for the wjnter and proceed to fill
the newspapers up with falsehoods
about the "Frozen North.” Some
correspondent here in Nome, pre
sumably for the International News
Service, is responsible for that fake
report being circulated in the States.
Why these fiction writers will per
sist in this form of notoriety and
for the gajn of a few dollars to
themselves is more than any one
with the true principles of manhood
and a love for truth can conceive.
The person or persons who are
TesponsiDi«* lor mat arucie DtMiig
printed in the newspapers outside
do more injury to Alaska than the
man who deliberately goes out and
knocks the country at large. The
people generally ignore a knocker
to a certain extent, but when a place
is misrepresented to the public in
a way that would take the form of a
boost then the place that was mis
represented will have to take the
blame.
Writers of this ilk are too frequent
ir. Alaska and the sooner they are
exterminated by the well wishers of
this territory the quicker Alaska’s
reputation will profit.
We need no writers with a single
track mind to give us this form of
boosting, there are many good
things to say about Alaska that are
the truth and we need not have to
resort to false reports abou^t her in
order to gain favor in the eyes of
the outside public.
