FATHER POST RETURNS TO
NOME FROM SPRINGS
" Father Post returned to Nome
Tuesday with Bob Omak. the Kou
garok mail carrier and will take
charge of St. Joseph’s church dur
ing the absence of Father Ruppert.
Father Ruppert went to the Hot
Springs in October to rest and re
cuperate from his duties and Father
Post was to take his place heTe,
each deciding that a change of
scenes and activities would be of
benefit to them. Due to bad weat
her and unfinished business Father
Post was unable to come to Nome
until this week.
The trip from the Springs to Nome
was a severe, gruelling mush.
Leaving the Springs the trail was
fine and hard, but after a few miles
a blizzard sprung up and obliterated
the trail. The dog’s feet were cut
and they refused to travel. Bob
Omak went ahead on snow shoes
and virtually pulled his team behind
him until he reached Iron Creek.
The distance across the divide to
Iron Creek is only 14 miles but it
required 10% hours for the travel
ers to negotiate it. At Iron Creek
they occupied an old unused cabin
until morning and then proceeded
to Nome, arriving after a stormy,
tedious trip. Father Post states
that the trip was the most severe he
has ever experienced in Alaska and
pays a high compliment to Bob
Om&k for the manner in which he
brought the team and his passenger
to their final destination.
Regarding the Mission affairs at
the Hot Springs Father Poet states
that all are well and happy. At
present there are 41 children and
by New Year’s the number will be
increased to 60, the maximum for
the accomodations.
Five SiateTs, two Brothers one
Priest and a cook.'Al. Carey, con
stitute the adult personnel and all
are kept busy attending to the ma
terial and spiritual welfare of their
young charges.
The Children’s building.has been
enlarged and is 85 feet long by 20
feet wide and 1% stories In height.
Plans for further additions and new
structures have been formulated
hut the means have not been provid
ed to carry them to completion.
Father Post will .remain in Nome
until about January 1st and then
return to the Springs while Father
RuppeTt will return to Nome and
assume his clerical duties in the St.
Joseph church.__

FIRE DESTROYS
NATIVE WORKSHOP
On Monday night at 9 o'clock an
alarm from the Eire Alarm Box at
the Standard Oil plant called the
Nome Fire Department to the east
end of Front street.
Paul, a native sled builder, oc
cupied as a workshop the building
adjoining the Buckley residence
and thru the careless handling of a
gasoline stove set Are to-the build
ing, which was completely destroy
ed by a fire that threatened adjoin
ing buildings.
Paul employed the stove to steam
sledge wood and used large cans
filled with water over which was
thrown a piece of carpet. Having
pursued this method with safety so
long he failed to realise the immin
ent danger. He left the stove
burning in a back shed and went
home and upon his return found his
building in flames.
Alarm was sent in from the Stand
ard Oil box and the Fire Depart
ment responded promptly, only to
find that little could be done to save
the particular building. Two tanks
of chemical was used to prevent
further spreading of the flames.
The loss was complete, amounting
to about $250.
