CUTTER BKAIl RKTURN'8
FROM SIBERIAN ( RI LSE
The U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Bear
which has been on a cruise along the
Siberian coast arrived in Nome last
Sunday morning bringing with
them, August Masik a former mem
ber of the United States Coast
Guard Station here at Nome.
Masik left Nome in the spring of
1921 on the schooner Belinda to go
to Kolyma iRver and 1 assist in
bringing back the Polar Bear, a
schooner that was at that time
stranded in Kolyma River in the ice.
The Polar Bear later broke to
pieces in the ice while making an
attempt to return to open waters.
In remarking on the conditions of
Siberia. Masik stated that the two
men. Arnold Castell and Pete Paul
sen that made the trip with him are
being held by the Soviet Govern
ment pending the arrival of a Rus
sian gunboat from Vladivostok
which is supposed to have aboard
Soviet officials that will settle the
trading difficulties along the Siber
ian coast. Costell and Paulsen aro
being held for having in their pos
session furs obtained in Siberia.
Masik states that he did not have
any trouble in leaving Siberia, as he
did not have any furs at the time of
his departure.
The government does not give any
reason for the confiscation of furs
according to Masik other than that
they have received orders to do so
from Vladivostok. Masik states that
the Government authorities in th»
localities visited by him are very
illiterate, some of them being un
able to read and w’rite any at all.
the White government both collect
separate taxes from the same peo
ple for the same items and some of
the Traders have paid taxes to both
governments, neither government
recognizing the others rights to col
lect, according to Mastic.
Masik states that no fox skins can
be taken from the country and the
taxes on other skins are too high
to pay the traders to deal in them.
Food stuffs is very scarce and the
natives in these localities will be in
a starving condition in less than two
months unless relief by the govern
n/nt takes piece. t
According to MasiA the schooner
Iskum is under guard by officials
of the Soviet government acd is not
allowed to leave the vicinity of the
Siberian Coast. The Belinda was
confiscated by the White govern
ment and later taken away from
them by the Soviet government, and
Is now* supposed to be in Anadyr.

CITY TELEGRAPH OFFICE
ABOLISHED FOR MORE
EFFICIENT KKKVKK
According to Captain Calvin H.
Hurkhead. Signal Corps IT. 8. A. Re
hibilitation and Radio Officer, W. A.
M. C. T. S.. the City Telegraph office
will he abolished after Sunday July
15th. This is being done on ac
count of the impossibility to increase
the |»ersonnel of the station here at
Nome and the desire of telegraph
authorities to rase the efficiency and
better,the service to the public.
The following changes will be made
to take effect Sunday, which will
no doubt better the service to the
general public having cause to use
the Tadio service with any regular
ity.
A messenger will be added to the
station's personnal who will make
regular trips three times per day to
the following places. leaving the
Radio station the messenger will
call at the Hammon Company offices,
thence to the M. A M. Bank thence
to Lomen's Drug Store thence the
Nugget Office, back to the court
house, from there to the Golden
Gate hotel and then retuni to the
Station. The first trip will start at
11 A. M. the second at 2 P. M. the
third at 5 P. M. The above places
will be called at during the week
days only; on Sundays the messen
ger will call at Lomen's Drug store
and the Golden Gate Hotel only, this
i3 on account of the other places not
being open on Sundays. The trips
mentioned already will be made in
addition to the delivering of mes
sages during the day to people re
ceiving them. Messages will be de
livered immediately when recefved.
A telephone has been installed at
the Radio Station and citizens of
Nome who are not in the habit of
using the service every day will be
allowed to call the station and have
a messenger call for their business
at the address the person calling
It wuold be advisable for Arms
and business houses handling any
volume of business with the Radio
Station to see Sergeant Anderson
who is in charge of the station and
make arrangements as to the ac
count and payment of messages.
The laws of the United States gov
ernment does not permit the run
of open accounts unless arranged
thru the Treasury Department.
Captain Burkhead feels confident
that a satisfactory solution to this
part of the project will be easily
reached by Sergeant Anderson and
the parties doing business with him.
Capt. Burkhead feels that Nome
will receive much better service un
leT the arrangements mentioned
than have been heretofore received
snd states: "We want the people of
Nome to feel that we are a part of
Nome, and a part of the business
life of this locality, our greatest de
sire is to give better service and be
of service to the people of Nome and
vicinity. 1 personally appreciate the
hearty cooperation of the business
men and others of Nome in helping
work out and find a solution to our
broubles. heretofore experienced.
It is all typical of the bigness of the
people of Nome. We want to know
their needs and we are at all times
open to any reasonable suggestions
made us by the public in general or
by individuals. And we hope the
citizens will take the pride in the
service as do the officials in the
War Department who have been
delegated this important work of
furnishing communications to Alas
The above changes in the radio
station are the results of a careful
study of the needed requirements of
telegraphic service to Nome by Capt.
Burkhead who came to Nome for
the one purpose of giving better ser
vo© to the people of Nome and vicin
ity. The decision to make the
changes mentioned was not arrived
at on the spur of the moment, but
were gone over carefully and with
due consideration to any obstacles
that might arse to lower the effic
iency of the plan decided upon. .
In addition to the above changes
a staked trail wtll.be kept open dur
ing the winter from the radio sta
tion across the tundra so that the
messenger can be available for ser-1
vice at all times. The trail will be
staked with Iron pipes set in con-1
crete high enough to insure their!
net being covered by snow, and a
wire cable will be strung along
these pipes and made fast t55 them
for the messenger to hold to and
keep him from losing the trail.
This will make It possible for the
messenger to deliver and call for
messages regardless of the snow
storms that might otherwise keep
him inside.
