CAPT AMUNDSEN DEPARTS
AFTER WARM GOD SPEED
The Norwegian exploration schoon
er Maud, hearing Capt. Raold Amund
sen and his gallant crew, departed
for the Arctic shortly before noon Sun
day after a visit of nearly two weeks
duration. Shortly before sailing on
her momentous journey, the vessel was
boarded by a large party of Nomeltos
who accompanied the vessel until she
was almost beyond sight of land and
gave the explorer a final god speed
that should provide him many pleas
ant memories during his contemplated
journey across the Polar basin in the
Arctic ice pack. The party was given
by Mr. Jafet Llndcberg, president of
th.' Pioneer Mining Company, with
Miss Helen Lomen officiating as host
ess and included practically all of
Capt. Amundsen's local friends. Re
freshments were served as the vessel
proceeded to sea and moving pictures
of the great explorer and his crew, the
ship and the guests were taken by
Nome’s well known movie photo
grapher, Harry Phillips. After sev
eral hours of conviviality, the party
was returned to Nome on the Eightcr
age tug fienevieve.
Capt. Amundsen will proceed to the
Northern coast of Siberia to take on a
number of Eskimo who will accom
pany the ship in its hazardous effort
to cross the top of the world and will
then sail northward to enter the Ice
pack somewhere in the vicinity of
Wrangell Island.
Before departing Capt. Amundsen
stated that he is entirely confident
that he will accomplish the remark^
able feat of drifting across the Polar
basin in the ice and may also succeed
in reaching the North Pole If circum
stances are favorable.
PIONEER DANCE ATTRACTS MANY
A near capacity crowd attended the
social dance given by Nome Igloo No.
1. Pioneers of Alaska, at Pioneer Igloo
Saturday evening. The entertainment
was the second of a series of twice a
month dances that organization has
planned to hold during the open sea
son and the large attendance, at the
busiest part of the summer appears
an happy augury for the success of
those scheduled for later periods. The
dances were started as an experiment
to determine if dance entertainments
held at regular periods during the open
season would be remunerative. The
experience pf the past has been that
people generally are too busy to In
dulge in that form of amusement dur
ing the short and busy summer. The
Pioneer series, however, appears to be
In a fair way to upset traditions, ns
the dances given so far have met with
very good success.
PROCLAMATION
As a testimonial of honor and ap
preciation of so great and important
an event, the day of arrival of the
Army Airplane Expedition engaged in
the momentous flight from New York
to Nome, is hereby declared a public
holiday in Nome. Insofar as may be
possible, business houses will be clos
ed; all citizens are requested to deco
rate their premises; and all who con
veniently can do so are requested to
assemble near the landing field at Ft
Davis when the expedition arrives.

TRADER KAMCHATKA IN PORT
The Hibbard-Swensen trading
schooner Kamchatka, bearing Mr. Olaf
Swenson, junior member of that well
known Seattle trading firm, arrived
in port from Anadyr. Siberia, Wednes
day evening after a successful trading
trip along the eastern Siberian coast.
The Kamchatka is not unknown to
Nome, having frequently visited this
port during the earlier days of *he
camp. The vessel was then known an
the Thrasher and was engaged In the
now almost vanished whaling indus
The Kamchatka is one of the largest
and finest ships engaged in the-Si

skins the vessel is about the sa ae size
as tho Coast Oaurd Cutter Bear and
somewhat resembles the well known
vessel. She was purchased by th
the Hibbard-Swenson Co. last spring
to replace the ship Belvedere, wrecked
last fall on the north coast of Siberia.

OIL DRILLING OPERATIONS
MAKING FINE PROGRESS
The oil drilling operations of the
Alaska Oil Corporation near Hastings
creek are making excellent progress
hole is being sunk and as a result of
their effective handling of the drill
ing machinery is attaining depth at a
of the company. Manager Keen states
hole owing to the deep boring made
last year being rendered useless for
further drilling by the dastardly ac
tion of some one who took considerable
pains to blockade the hole by inserting
an iron bar or pipe sometime during
the past fall or winter. After consid
erable effort it was found impossible
to get the object out of the way suffic
iently to continue boring and a new
hole was started something over a jveek
ago. Thanks o the crew’s drilling ef
ficiency the new boring has already
attained a depth almost as great as
that of the abandoned hole.
HARBOR REPAIR
WORK CONTINUES
Operations on the Snake River
harbor construction are still confined
to repairing the damage done to the
east Jetty last fall by the terrific rush
of water resulting from a sudden thaw
occurring after the first snow had fall
The fine weather of the past few
weeks has permitted the work to gc
forward at a somewhat faster pace
than during the recent extended storm
period and a considerable addition has
been made to the long line of piling
covering the damaged section during
the week.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE SHOWING
MARKED INCREASE
Services at the Federated church
Sunday night were marked by an at
tendance almost as large as that which
greeted Bishop Rowe on the preced
ing Sunday. Those acquainted with
church affairs say the attendance ha*
shown a steady Increase during the
past year and for many weeks ha*
Been a wide improvement over that ol
the preceding two or three years.
Some ascribe the change to the vig
orous and distinctly up to date views
expressed in the sermons of Pastoi
Richard Decker, while others also be
lieve that a part of the increased at
tendance is due to a revival »of public
religious interest. Whatever theVause
the number attending is growing
steadily and includes many who have
heretofore betrayed no more than cas
ual interest in church going.
Pastor Decker chose for his sermor
topic: "The brook th.'tf dried up" and
preached a vigorous clean cut and well
considered sermon which elicited
many complimentary commendation*
from his hearers.

LIGHTERAGE CO. TO
CONTINUE COAL SELLING
DURING WINTER
Contrary to earlier announcements,
the Alaska Lighterage and Commercial
Company will not discontinue Its coal
selling activities with the close of nav- •
igation and will bring In an ample
stock of that indispensible commodity
to meet all the wants of the comtnunltv
during the winter, according to state
ments made by the management to i
committee of the Nome Chamber of
Commerce appointed to ascertain wavs
and means of insuring an adequate
fuel supply next winter.
Manager fJabrielson assured the
committee that the company has tono
tons of coal coming on the steamer
Ketchikan, and an additional five hun.
died tons will be brought in later *f
needed. It is Important, however, tint
the company be advised by prospec
tive ctistomers as to the amount of
coal that will be required by them for
winter use. Owing to the present
high costs, the company does not wish
to carry a larger stock than will be
needed to fill winter demands and In
tends to employ the orders received fic
fo.o hand as a basis for estimating the
amount to be. shipped in over and
above the 1000 tons to arrive on the
Ketchikan. Everyone who intends t<«
winter in Nome should advise tho
company as soon as possible regarding
the amount of coal they will need in
order that enough may be obtained to
cover requirements. No deposit will
be required with the orders received
and no time should be lost in placing
