The enthusiasm of many Nome citizens has assumed the concrete
form of voluntary contributions toward the Municipal, Wharf and Lighter
age Plant. In a few days a committee will make a Canvass of the
inanity and obtain signatures to make up the required amount necessary
to carry this project to completion.
HYDROPLANES SOLUTION OF MAIL PROBLEM
IN THE OPINION of air men who have traveled thru this part of
Alaska, the establishment of an aerial route to include the various inland
towns and villages is not only feasible but the only solution of the present
difficult mail situation.
The government has a number of large hydroplanes which are
being sold to private persons for the purpose of encouraging the establish
ment of commercial air routes throut the United State/. The planes are
being sold as low as $2,000.00 and could be landed in Nome at a total cost
of $2,600.00. Hydroplanes should be employed for (he reason that land
ings and take ofTs can be accomplished from the many streams, lakes and
lagoons thfct .dot this North country. Not only could the mail be taken
quickly and often, passengers could be carried to the inland sections at
a cost that anyone would be willing to pay for the rapid transit. Instead
of waiting for weeks to obtain an uncertain boat the flight could be made
in a few hours.
Starting with the mail contract for the inland sections as a
of revenue, plus the passengers and express, the venture would be not only
self supporting but would render a handsome profit to the investors.
Instead of many separate mail contracts and contractors as at
present obtains one or two contracts for the entire peninsula could be
inaugurated with a speedy and safe delivery of mail. People in Deering
and other Northern points must wait until late in July and sometimes until
the month of August before they receive mail delivered in Nome by the
first boat of the season. To send a letter in the Spring and expect an
answer before the winter mail service begins is a lost hope at present and
the people of the outlying sections are entitled to more consideration.
Our present mail boats are too infrequent in their trips and have accomo
dations below the requirements of the people. True it is that weather
conditions prevent trips in many instances, but^ this difficulty could be
obviated thru a hydroplane service that would surmount ordinary ob
stacles. Our Chamber of Commerce can accomplish much by a thorough
and impartial investigation into this reasonable proposition of aerial
transportation.
TRANSPORTATION RELIEF SUGGESTION.
THE PEOPLE OF Seward Peninsula, particularly the citizens of
Nome are attempting to develop this wonderful country, but are beset on
one side by bureaucratic supervision and on the other by transportation
conditions that must be remedied before we can come into our own.
Delegate Dan Sutherland has received numerous communications relative
to the transportation situation and in one of his replies states that if the
merchants of Alaska will get together and stand back of him and the
remedy, the situation can be relieved. We quote his letter:
"I was very glad to receive your ot March 20th and I thank you
for the words of commendation on my attempt to get the steamship com
panies where they belong, but they are a pretty tough bunch to regulate,
as they have their lobbyists here in Washington all the time and the
Shipping Board employees In the Department here in Washington are. for
the most part, representatives of the steamship companies. However. I
intend to keep banging away at the proposition and believe I may be able
to shame the Shipping Board into taking some action in this matter.
“The suggestion that you make for the organization of a corpora
tion to handle Alaska’s freight is something that I have had in mind for
a long time and if I could get any number of the Alaska shippers into a
project of this kind, the question would be pretty well settled. The thing
that surprises me is that merchants in Alaska who receive quantities of
freight should stand for the graft of the transportation companies when
they could come together and accomplish something in the way of estab
lishing transportation for themselves. As long as the Guggenheims con
trol the Southbound ore, it is going to be pretty difficult for independent
companies to get any competition. Under the present system it costs
30% more to bring freight from Seattle to Ketchikan, 700 miles, than to
bring it from New York through the Panama Canal to Seattle, 7000 miles.
And still we wonder at crime.
Some fools will light a match in a powder factory. Some will get
gay with another man’s wife. In either case the undertaker get a'job.

The tides at Nome are more or
ie.«s diurnal, that is. only one high
water and one low water occur dur
ing a lunar day. The predicted
times of high and low water will not
always exactly correspond with the
actual occurence of the tides, as the
water levels are sometimes more'de
pendent on wind than on tide. For
this reason no accurate prediction
of the height of water at high or
lew tide can be given. The average
height of higher high tides above
mean lower low water for Nome i>
given as 1.6 ft. in the government
tide tables. All water levels are
referred to Mean Lower Low Water.
A monument in the southwest cor
ner of Barrack Square is 14 ft.
above this datum. An extreme
range of 18 ft. In the water levels
has been noted at Nome. During
the storm of 1913 the water rose to
14 ft. above M. L. L. W.. and with
northerly winds in the fall It has
been $ ft' below this datum.
