FIRST RAIN STOItM OF SPRING
Between the hours of one and
four A. M. Thursday. Nome exper
ienced its first rain storm of the
spring of 1923. During this time
the precipitation was quite heavy,
beaiting wiith force on the roofs and
awakened peaceful slumberers.
Thruout the day preceedln-g the
weather w<as a combination snow
and drizzle, with the final change
into a reail rain. From now on
thifts community will be forced to
considertuble inconvenience by the
sofltening snow drifts, already horse
travel has become difficult and dan

holes in the snow.
Wiith warm nights and whrmer
days a few weeks more will register

NHT THE ELECTION
GAMBLING BILL
As win be seen elsewhere in this
issue the anti-electron gambling bill
wae kittled in the senate. Book
making is the only form of gambl
ing .in Alaska not covered by statute
and in the pas# has been used and
abused to no smaN degree. Glar
ing examtples of pernicious influence
exe.ncised by this means of vote get
ting were wistntswed in -the last gen
eral election hcild in Nome. Real
izing the vkriousneas of this policy
of present, day danvpaOgniim;, Repre
sentative Decker from Nome intro
duced the bill attempting to make
itt a. sfututon*y offense to indulge In
Elect ion Gambling thru bookmak
ing. The, House passed the Bill af
ter a few houra dettherotion and de
bate, but the Senate refused to vfew
the matter -in the same light and
accordingly the Bill was killed.
If the people of Nome find the
present method of gambling objec
tionable the remedy Wes in a City
Ordinance to be passed by the City
Council. Control of civic affairs
ties wholly wWih the Council and
