A good sized batch of seeftnd class
mail from the States and a small
quantity of first class way mail arrived
. ? the poslollioe early this afternoon.
The Brand Jury returned its final
report this afternoon. Owing t>> lack
of space publication of the report will
be delayed until the next issue of the
Nugget.
It is a matter of interest in local re
creation circles that at for April 1
Nome's splendid Bowling Alleys will
be open for season and record play.
Notwithstanding that the Alleys have
been open only a short time, devotees
of this fascinating indoor sport are tl
reudv yielding to the lure of the pol
ished hardwood and the rumbling
spheres. In his first play this season
and in the third game of the ev?n*ag.
A. It. Miller set the excellent mark of
215 pins a night or two ago. while
Messrs Jones and Eagle of Council
and Fred Peterson of this rit> i dis
played ready return to foim. The al
loys are of the regulation I. ngtli with
standard Brunswick-!’ i 'U. «• lu.pmcnt.
P'coiscly the same as r-. used n the
metropolitan centers in th • <t itts. The
rn ir.gement lias placed Pie a ley- in
excellent condition for 'ice!', play.
Owing t>< the almost complete ab
sence of competition. the city and
school elections yesterday were about
as tamo as the proverbial knitting lree.
Even the bunch of workers which us
ually lingers about the ]>olling place
on election days was absent and the
council chamber was quiet as a church
during the greater part of the day.
The only unusual event marking the
election was the withdrawal of (’has.
Lewis from tlie list of couneilmanie
candidates late Monday evening. Al
though the withdrawal did not occur
until almost the eleventh hour, the re
mainder of the candidates for council
manic honors got busy immediately, to
fill the vacancy in the list created by
Lewis’ withdrawal. After some con
siderable persuasion. George S. May
.11; . proprietor • t thu Nugget, was
ii du,-ed to submit his name to the vot
ers. Public intp»vs: centered cl iefly
in the contest between O. IX Cochran
and Fred Harrison for the City Attor
neyship and It. L. Morris and Thos A.
Iloss for the presidency <>f the School
Hoard. Friends of the four candid
ates indulged in considerable election
eering in their behalf during the day.
Mr. Cochran proved the victor in the
race for City Attorney and Mr. Morris
distanced his competitor in the school
board contest. The returns were
counted at an early hour last evening
and disclosed the following results.

I A total of :m.1 votes wore east. The
comparatively small vote registered
.Mr. Maynard was due primarily to the
fact that his name was not on the bal
lot. persons voting for him being com
pelled to write his name in the space
resulting from the withdrawal of Mr.
Lewis.
In the case of four of the ballots
counted, the name of Albert Nicholson
had been substituted by the voters for
that of Lewis.
One voter substituted tin* mime ■ f
C.us Holtz for that of Lewis. No dam
aged or defective ballots were cast.Al

the number failed to appear at the polls
Something like fifty votes were sworn
in and account for the difference be
tween tiie registrations and the actual
number voting.

Writing to Ai Niyholson from Ber
kley. Cal. under date of February 11,1
Harry Phillip, who has apparently1
forsaken the devious and uncertain
delights of making moving pictures for
a stable job in the shipyards, gives the
following breezy mention of Alaskans
and near Alaskans now sojourning on
the Outside. Hairy is working at the
shipyard operated by W .W. Johnson
of the I'nion Construction company
and avers that there are so many
Nomeites employed there that, to
quote his own words, "the half of Sew
ard Peninsula appears to be there. E
notice Milleman. ex-Standnrd Oil ag
ent at Nome, Boy Davenport, Bill;/
Lenihan, Harry Barnett, Charlie
Marsh. Graham (Archie’s brother)
Curtis. Mark Burns. Billy Dylan. Tom
my Peterson, Bill Peterson. Gilhooley,
David Gove. Emil Anderson, "big Gus"
Anderson. Pete McIntosh. McAdams
from Teller. Gorham, from Teller, A lea
Bartlett. Bam say from Council.
“Shorty", the red headed cook. McLeod
from the Kougarok and McLeod from
Teller.
Others arc: Faxon Lewis and Kil
roy, who by the way is the daddy of
a bouncing boy. McAdams is at pres
ent in ,the hospital; Got on a o
wire and the shock did the rest, lie
is getting better now. Rose Wheeler
is the Coffee Queen of the Cafeteria in
t.-.e yards. Scotty’s daughter Euph
emia is in the office. Jerry Wilson is
a shipwright and there is also a Punch
of Swede fellows whose names I can’t
pronounce Young Vandet wo'Vi.* and
| Goff Reed are employed; a1 so Blake,
one of the discoverers of Oph-.r Creek
in 1897. Last but not least is “Shorty”
Mitchell, “owner” of the Bangor creek
dredge. He is chasing a crane at $4.G4
per day. Harry Bloomfield is runn
ing a crane. For myself; am hold
ing the elevated position of Material
(’Jerk—in other words an “office cat”.
The bunch who worked ten hours in
Nome last summer don’t seem to have
any trouble getting a job and there are
a lot of them here in the yard. Most
of them are union men. However,
things look rather serious just now as
the boilermakers are out and if some
thing don’t happen it will result in a
complete shutdown. I hear that Capt.
Jack Hadley of Polar Bear fame, died
in Frisco a couple of weeks ago. Of
course you heard of Arthur Cole dying.
Saw Henry Lefeldt the other day.
He is in the navy (a lieutenant, I
think) and had just returned from tha
South. He told me that Fred Wihite
was working in one of the Southern
shipyards. He reported visiting the
Allison Bruner’s and had a “singsong”
Chas. Leonard is running the Hotel
Oakland Buffet. Sammy Neuman has
three places for peddling Life Elixar
and is apparently doing a great busi
ness. Bob Norris is playing the Stock
Exchange and looks as if it pays him.
(Jeorge Apple, Scotty Allan, and Ned
Darling are running a sheet metal
business. Ned doesn’t seem to he
packing so much adipose tissue as he
did of yore. Elmer Heed has been mak
ing up cards of Alaskan flowers (chief
ly cotton) at any price you like to pay.
Kenneth Murr returned with “The
honors of War” and is at San Diego
at presen.. Lucky Peterson is running
winches on the water front. Bud
Welch, (!eo Adams and several others
are at the Scandia engine works run
by Llndeberg and associates. Barry
Keown is working for the Yuba dredge
people. Miles of the Alaska Consoli
dated is constructing the largest dredge
in tho world in Trinity county. Ivan
Scheike is a night watchman in Frisco.
<>nc of the Dessum boys (Bill) died
the other day. Ira Robertson’ former
ly of the Mae Roberts theatrical com- I
pany. is playing in Oakland in a bur
lesque show. Met Doc Kemp and wife;
also Chas Kimball and wife on New
Year eve when we were taking in the
sights. (Some conglomeration of
sights and sounds). Am glad in a
way. that I came out hut guess that
the first boat will sec me again. There
is no place like Nome after all. Heard
from A1 Orland the other day. He is
in Seattle recovering from an opera
tions and says he is fit for three
“squares" a day. He will surely ap
preciate it after so long.He told me Joe
Sliscovich died in a hospital there.
Conditions out here are very unstable
and it is hard to grasp the real under
current of things. The High Cost of
jLiving appears to he the chief griev
ance and is doubtless a real one. The
shipbuilders, and especially firms like
[the Bethelhom Steel Co., are no doubt
trying the freeze out game, as they are
well equipped to handle the shipbuild
ing situation—if not in the l'. S. they
can fall back on China and Japan and
build for next to nothing (from a iaLor
standpoint) They already have in
terests there. It costs $40 more per
ton t-> build ships here than in Great
Britain, so you can imagine what they
can do in China and Jqptnn. I’umor
has it they are chiefly responsible for
flie agitations in the various unions
and numbers of men (Ex-employees of
thelr’s) are deeidely vitriolic in den
unciation of their methods in the yards
I notice in the papers that Fox
Ramsay’s brother is going to marry
Princess “Pat” of Connaught. Wall
lie proved himself a good man in the
navy and she is about the only real
democrat of the bunch amongst the
"Royalty Squad". Don't know wheth
er I will have the nerve to tackle the
Vic again. She sure was a trap last
fall and the filthiest boat I ever trav
elled on. Saw nothing quite as bad
in my several years at sea. Don't know
who was to blame but its really a won
der any of us made Seattle in good
health, or with any money in our poc
kets. The Bloomfield family and self
went to Vallejo the other day and via- ,
ited Mare Island. Some busy there,
About seven thousand employed.Alice
Peterson is a "yeomanette” there. Vis
ited her uncle and aunt and dined
sumptuously. She has grown almost
beyond recognition. It makes me wish
I had that recipe so that I could get
out of the "runt” class. Haven’t seen !
or heard of Russ Downig since I left j
Seattle. I forgot to mention that Don ;
Kemp is running some kind of a place
in Stockton. Bedbe was In Frisco but
returned to Seattle/ Heard Harry Ray
!.-• at the Scandia works. Sharkey has
not made tip his mind what to da and
George 'who worked f.*»- Milo) is in
the shiny.*:..* here. Duffy O’C’onnor is
as fat as butter. Has sev ial propo
sitions art! Is talking of goir ; in over
the ice. Alec Smith and Louis Levy
left some time ago (not together). Tne
old sourdough’s are all coming back.
Trust Nome has resumed its normal
healthy condition and things look
brighter. Remember me to all old
friends. Yours etc.
