ICE OUT AT SOLOMON
FIRST VESSEL ARRIVES
Long disuince re|>orts from Solomon
during the past few days announce I
that tlie Ice had left that section of
the const during the first part of the
week and the first vessel to toudh at
that port since Inst year has appeared
The ire apparently departed Tuesday.
Reports arriving here Wednesday said
the offing was practically clear and no
Ice was visible to the eastward. The
vessel, a two master schooner arrived
Wednesday from I'nalnkJeet. The
name of the schooner sounded like
“Mekapnk” over the wires hut it is be
lieved ti> be the well Known Nokatak
The vessel is enroute to No:
CHEECHACO BALL COMING
K: nli* Annual Oheechaco Hall sent n
Wireless message to Mrs. Helen Ixive
rich aboard the S. S. IVetorln rc.iuest
imr her to engage music for the event.
A reply was received this afternoon
vi a ting that an orchestra of four piece#
has been engaged for the first Sat
urday after arrival of Victoria.
ICE FORCES CHANGE
IN RIVER CHANNEL
An Ice hlockade of the entrance to
the Snake River harbor channel dur
ing the past week resulted in the
opening of a new churn . I across the
simlsplt a short distance to the W'St
. ward of the western revetment con
struction. Heavy masses of Ice from
the upper river blockading between ths
revetments along the lower reaches ot
the main channel caused the pent tip
water to suddenly raise some four or
live feet. A low spot In the spit
about 100 feet beyond the inner end
of the west revetment was speedily
inundated and the water started run
ning seaward.
Within an hour or two a deep chan
nel had formed across the spit and the
i released water was running through in
• a torrent.
[ The work of clearing the blocked
1 channel is continuing under the dircc*
*f t’has. Jones of the Alaska Road
I Commission. The heavy masses of Ice
. gorging the spot e between the east
I anil west revetment are being broken
up with charges of dynamite and the
channel is gradually being cleared. So
far as can be observed the Jam has
not affected the damaged Jetty and
hopes are strong that the structure
will escape further Injury.

RUSSIANS MODIFY
TRADE REGULATIONS
The recent ruling of the Siberian'
Soviet government representatives re
quiring Nome traders to secure a trnJ- '
ing license at Anadyr before engaging
in trade adong the Northeast Siberian
coast has been modified to the degree
that Nome vessels will be permitted to
secure the required license at the end (
instead of the beginning of their first
trading trip. Under the new ruling
vessels may proceed to any desired
point on the Siberian coast and trade
at will with the natives or others but
must call at Anadyr and secure the
required permit before returning
homo. The new ruling is announced
in an Anadyr radio message to Cus
toms Collector It. W. J. Heed and i«
the result of recent representations
made by Mr. Heed and the Chamber
of Commerce regarding the hardship
imposed by earlier Soviet regulate ns
requiring Nome traders to secure a
trading permit at Anadyr before en
gaging in trnlllc with the Hussians.
Under the previous ruling many local
vessels would he unable to participate
in the valuable spring trade on equal
terms with the outside traders. Thru
being forced to make the extra -O'
mile Journey to Anadyr, they would be
unable to reach tlx* more northern
trade sections in time to take advan
tage or the most valuable portion of
the trading season.
OUTER ICE MOVING WE8TWAR0
Lengthy leads of open water have
appeared in the ice pack about four
or five miles off shore during the week
but there has been no perceptible
movement of the shore ice along this
section of the coast. Observations
taken by the Const Guard am. others
indicate that L o outer ice is moving
4-cacllly and rapidly westward. The
shore Ice is rotting rapidly an I gives
every indication of departing at an
early date l< given sufficient impulse
by wind or tide :vt.on. Prospects are
strong however, that the first boats
will find a fragment of old Reiing
winter overcoat fttill clinging to the
shore when they arrive.
MOOSE DANCE TONIGHT
The Loyal Moose lodge will hold a

CHAMBER COMMERCE LAUNCHES
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
An ndverttnln* campaign directed
by the Chasnobrr of Commerce and
aimed at exploitation of the resources
and development needs of the Nome
and Seward Peninsula section is
launched in the present issue of the
Nugget under the caption "Develop
ment Possibilities of fhe Nome Dis
trict," printed on the 3rd and 6th
pages. The initial article deals with
the need for adequate road construc
tion and pracfetculafly trunk roads
covering the interior sections. It
wUll be followed at Intervals by others
bearing upon the various resources
and development iKMulbllltie* of th'*
district. The Chamber of Commerce
will supply the material for these nr*
tides and the space occupied will be
donated by the Nugget without charge.
As the object is to advertise the re
sources and develoffcnent possibilities
It is highly desirable that issues con
taining the Chamber articles shah be
given the widest circulation possible.
Readers of the paper can help the
good work along in a very material
way by mailing copies to their friends
In the Suites. Nome can and win
prosper far beyond our most optimis
tic holies if the enormous resources o(
the surrounding district are exploited
and ttutde productive and the highly
desirable result can be achieved only
by advertising aa broadly as possible
what wc have to attract the settler
and investor. Every one should lend
a hand to this effort by sending cop
ies wherever there is a prospect of in
teresting outsiders in what we have
NUGGET'S CONVENTION REPORTS
WIN COMMENDATION
The comprehensive summaries pub
lished dally of the proceedings at he
Chicago convention have resulted In
the Nugget receiving many pleasing
commendations from subscribers dur
ing the past day or two. Many persons
who seldom visit the office, have ap
peared within the past two days and
voiced their prnise of the convention
news provided.
Kspecially because such favors sir
decidedly rare in Notne, the Nugr.
feels duly grateful that there are some
at least who are appreciative of its
efforts to provide the news,
j In order to give the public a fair
idea of developments at Chicago, the |
Nugget has practically doubled the
volume of its outside wire service dur
ing the convention period, a proceed
ing. by the way, that has also doubled
the costs of telegraph and correspond
ence service during the same period.
The Nugget is not jplvcn to “tooting1
its own horn”, but cannot refrain from
suggesting that this act of going to
double expense to give the public the
) news should convince some of our
“Doubting Thomases’* and overly
opinionated crltios that we are doing1
our best to fulfill our duty of giving
the public a news service commensen
ate with the support received.
WIRE TROUBLE
DELAYS COMMUNICATION
AVlre and wireless disorders Tues
day and Wednesday resulted in some
disarrangement in telegraphic com
munication with the states. Press
matter coming through on the indicat
ed days was considerably delayed with
the result that the volume of telegra
phic news In the Nugget's Daiiy Bulle
tin^ was some what curtailed A por
tion of the trouble appealed to he at

CUTTER BEAR UNDER
NEW COMMAND
The (’oast Guard Cutter Bear, now
on her way to Nome, will operate this
summer under a new command, Capt.
Frances S. Van Boskerck. Capt.
Uberoth, who commanded the cutter
during the past two years, was trans
ferred last Spring to the Gulf const
and l« now in command of the cutter
Tusearora. Capt. Van Boakerck Is
now enroute ot Nome on the steamer
Victoria and will probably take com
mand of the Bear on arrival here if
the Bear reaches port before the com
mercial steamer. If the vessels meet
at sea Capt. Van Boskerck will prob
ably be transferred to his own ship
Immediately. The new commander is
no stranger In Northern waters. Ac
cording to the Coast Guard records he
was stationed in Alaska waters for
seven months during his earlier ca
reer. Before a^dgned to the Boar
Capt. Van Boskerck held the import
ant 'post of Captain of the port of
Philadelphia, a position now occupied
by Capt. C. S. Cochrane, who was In
command of the Bear for several years
before Capt. Uberoth took command
1 of the cutter.
