It was the intention of the Legion ;
hoys to hold a picnic on Sledge Is- !
land Sunday June 3rd. but it was j
learned that a heavy ice field sur->
rounds the Island, precluding the i
anticipated event beiiib held. Ela
borate arrangements have been
made to make this picnic a delight- j
ful diversion from the usual forms
of entertainment. As the presence j
of ice has defeated the plans laid
the boys have postponed the event
and changed the date to the Sunday
following namely, Sunday June 10th

outdoor green houses. Flowers in
varigated kinds and colors bloom in
the windows, seeming a veritable
oasis i nthe desert of general bleak
ness and disorder, while in the
yards a surprisingly large number
of green houses have been erected
and placed in order for the spring
crop of flowers and fresh vegetables.

ICE I .EAVES NOME ROADSTEAD.
Last Saturday May 2th. ice* in the
roadstead began its westward move
ment and by evenng open expanses
of water announced the real out
ward movement.
By Sunday the entire roadstead
was clear and to east and west the
eye was greeted with open water.
Although a steady S. W. wind has
prevailed during the week the cur
rent thru the straits Is strong
enough to keep the ice from the
immediate vicinity of Nome.

to assume that she will have mall

PASSENGER LIST HAS
BEEN SENT FOR
As stated in last week’s issue of
the Nugget this publication felt
that it was assuming too much In
paying the entire expense of tele
graphing the passenger lists of the
two first boats before their arrival.
In view of this a number of citizens
voluntarily contributed toward a
fund to procure these lists by wire.
While the full amount necessary has
not been contributed the Nugget
will do its share and make up the
necessary amount. If any other
persons care to contribute they will
be given proper credit. The list has
been sent for by the Nugget and wift
be published immediately upon re

SUBSIDIZED SHIPS SHiBCTKD
FOR NOME ROUTES
The Nomp Postoffice is in receipt
of the intelligence that boats have
been selected for the Nome-Kotze
bue and Nome-St. Michael mail
routes.
The Nome-Kotzebue contract goes
to Oeo. D. Schofield, the owner of
the Duxbury, while the Nome-St.
Michael contract goes to Hilfrich A
Allen, owners of the Donaldson.
Service on both routes will begin
July 1st. 1923. It is understood
that both boats will receive altera
tions and additions, fitting them for
the special duties to be performed
and tb enable them to comply with
the regulations of the Subsidy Bill.
The Duxbury is now in winter
quarters at Safety, while the Don
aldson, from last reports, is at Cor
dovb waiting for fuel and repair
tarts before proceeding to Nome.
Selection of these boats surply a
long felt want. Heretofore travel
ers up and down the coast have had
to contend with extremely objection
able conditions. It is hoped that
these boats will usher in i now
coir.tal shipping condition
According to the conditions of the
Subsidy Bill a bi-monthly mail ser
vice will obtain between Noire a'ld
Kotzebue Sound, while a weeklv
service between Nome and St. Mich
ael will result.
Both boats will carry maii. freight
and passengers and carry them in
such manner that safetv. comfort
and definite service will br obtained.
FIRST BOAT LAUNCHING
OF THK SEASON
The Jewel Guard. Captain Harry
Ewart and the Tug Dayton, owned
by the Nome Lighterage Company
were launched Monday and Tuesday
May 28 and 29th respectively. The
boats were in winter quarters along
Snake River. As both the river
and Nome roadstead are free from
ice It was deemed an opportune
time to make a water trip to Solo
mon and enjoy the scenery. Ac
cordingly both boats were launched
and proceeded on their way with
out encountering any ice until with
in two and one half miles west of
Solomon.
Reports have been current that
Bering Sea from BlufT to Safety was
free from ice. but the reports have
been false. Heavy ice lies close in
at Solomon and extends westward
toward Safety. The Jewel Guard
landed its passengers and returned
to Nome without being able to
negotiate the Solomon destination.
The Dayton landed elsewhere and
up to Friday was still down the
coast. According to soundings
taken by private individuals Snake
river channel is in the best of con
dition for small boats to leave and
enter. The bar at the mouth has
been removed by the high water
and scouring ice of the breakup, ac
complished work that otherwise
would be necessary with a dredge.
