CAPT. GOTWALS TO
LEAVE ON VICTORIA
orders frohn the War Department to
tion for promotion to the rank of
Major, Capt. J. C. Gotwals, of the
polled to return to the States on the
Victoria and forego his contemplated
trips to Council, Candle and Dime
Creek, as well as a contemplated
journey thru the Kuskokwim section
In a statement to a Nugget repre
sentative, Oapt. Gotwals said:
Orders received from the War De
partment requiring me ta go immed
iately to Camp T^ewis for examination
for promotion to Major in the Reg
ular Army, makes it necessary to give
up my planned trip out over the snow
from Nome through the Kuskokwim
to Seward. This necessity is regrett
ed. The visits planned to Candle,
Council and Dime Creak must also be
given up. However, Col. Steese, the
President of the Alaska Rond Com
mission. will come to Nome on the first
boat next spring and Che needs of
Seward Peninsula will be met under
stand ingly.
During my stay I have gained in
sucfli a short visit a fair understanding
of conditions here. I am- convinced
that the mere 'beginning of the solu
tion of the transportation needs nf
Seward Peninsula calls for the com
pletion and extension of the Nome.
Council road to Dime Creek on the
Koyuk: the maintenance of the line
of travel through Shelton, from Nome
:o the Kougarok: the completion >f
the Davidson's Landing-Tav’or road
and -.lie extension of a road from the
Koo.v ok to TVerJng and Candle.
These main arteries, one? developed,
will give the greatest poss'ble relief
within the shortest time. It is this
main system of trunk lines of travel
that the Road Commission will bend
all its energies to complete.
The continued confidence and sup
port of the people of the Territory are
needed to secure the necessary funds
to carry out this program and, along
wtith this, the aid of the Territory in
cooperation work along general lines
of development for the whole territory,
as was given by the Territory during
the last year, is highly necessary for
the greatest road development with the
least expenditure of funds.
The work of the^ past season on
Seward Peninsula, while not of gre it
extent, has been most satisfactorily
performed, and with more equipment
and funds available next season, the
additional work outlined will he pros
Before departing: I wish to thank the
people of Nome for the pleasant stay
I have had with them and the valua
the large operators but by the many
individual miners and prospectors
whim I have met.
Being desirous of acquiring the
views of everyone regarding the road
situation in this district. Capt. Got
wsiis, Friday afternoon held a con
ference with a considerable number o'
working miners and prospectors at
•the office of the Road Commission.
The meeting was attended by about
fifty men, all of whom were men who
are classed as miners, prospectors and
small operators. This somewhat un
usual procedure, Indicates that it
Capt. Go twills’ aim to take into ac
count not only the views of the op
erators and others who employ tue
roads in the futherence of their op
erations, but also those of the mm
who tramp the highways, with their
b’ankits and camp outfits.1 Needless'
to say. this method of ascertaining the
views of the people is one that Is to
b* commended as providing a gen
uinely public view of things.

RELIEF SENT TO ST
LAWERENCE ISLANDERS
The schooner Ukivak; captained by
Duffy O'Connor, sailed for St Law
rence Island Tuesday carrying a load
of supplies for the native inhabitants
of the island, who are believed to be
sht>rt of foo<L owing to the failure of
the Hear to land there before her de
parture South. As will be recalled,
the Bear was unable to land either sup*
plies or the government school teach
ers. Mr and Mrs Bums, and carried
them to Dutch Harbor.
The relief expedition was financed
by CJeo. It. tloshnw and others and is
supplied with enough food to last the
islanders until the government sup
plies are landed by the schooner Olga,
now enroute from Dutch Harbor, where
she picked up the two school teachers
and the store of provisions carried by
the Bear. The trip of the Ukivak is a
hazardous one, as sailing in a small
vessel at this time of the year, when
the storms are on and the freezeup
close *t hand, is a decidedly risky and
unpleasant task.
The sailing of the Ukivak on her
errand of mercy emphasizes the neces
sity for a united effort by local organ
izations to induce the Navy Depart
ment to provide a better ship to re
place the antiquated Bear, which
should have been condemned years

FIRE DESTROYS
EAST ^ND DWELLING
A small cabin occupied by an Eski
mo known as "Solomon Bill”, situated
next door to the home of Ivan Scheike
on East Front Street was destroyed
by fire Wednesday at 10 a. in. The
blaze is said to huve started from a
gasoline stove and gained considerable
headway before the akirm was turned
in. When the fire department arrived
on thes cene, the building was so far
gone that little could be done toward
saving it and the htidlding and contents
were a total loss.
The alarm came at a somewhat un
fortunate time, as the fire mains were
being drained in anticipation of the
freezeup and required some time to fill,
as pressure had to be brought into
2600 feet of eight inch pipe before
water could be thrown on the flames.
The hydrant at Barrack Square was
also partly open as a vent at he time
of the alarm but caused no delay in
the 4irrival of th*. water, as it was
closed• by Chief Haughey to raise the
pressure as speedily^as possible. The
mains once filled the water came as
regular as usual. The tire team was
out exercising at he time of the alarm
and Chief Haughey was compelled to
requisition a team belonging to W.
J. Howe which happened to pass the
fire station before the. fire trusk could
reach the blaze. The returning fir»
team was met at Barrack Square and
followed the hose truck to the fire.
