Deports based on letters reaching
Nome on the recent mail stating that
Sol. Warren died on the Outside as a
result of influenza .attack, are dis
counted by the receipt by Ira Rank of
a telegram from Mr. Warren on stJn
uary. 8th. enquiring sis to the influen
za situsttion in Nome. As the letter
containing the dubious news was
written during November, it appears
thsit its statement regarding Mr. Wstr
ven could hardly have been correct.
The receipt of a letter from Mr.
John A. Davis, of the "Fairbanks Min

than vague surmises and ill founded
' jnlecture Mr. Davis was r ported
las fall :.s one of tIt victims of 'ho
ill fated Sophia, but the letter re
ferred to is d,iled at Fairbanks long
after the Sophia disaster and prove?
that Mr. Davis is still alive and ap
parently in excellent health.

About a month ago 1 saw a naval
officer, wearing a naval cap and all
kinds of gold braid. He carried him
self well, altho he was not young. I
thought lie was some Admiral or other
I looked at him closely and discovered
that it was our old friend Frank John
son. who owns the house you live in.
1 had qute a chat with him . He Is
an Ensign and attached to a battle
cruiser which was at Bremerton. He
hail made several trips to France. I
cannot tell you how many submarines
h»- sunk but I presume it must have
been a great many. He was in fine
health and spirits.
NothlKg new in politics. Biggs and

The Juneau clique of machine Dem

The Board of Directors of the Nome
Chamber of Cemmerce ^iet at the law
offices of O. D. Cochran yesterday.
Among the several business matters
coming to the attention of the body
were the reports of the committee’s on
Roads and Transportation. The re
port of the Transportation Committee,
t digest of which was published in the
last issue of the Nugget was adopted
and the committee was authorized to
•arry on their labors along the lines
suggested in the report. The report of
ihe Road Committee was received and
recommends that efforts be made to
have the Territorial Legislature pro
vide an annual appropriation of $75,
000 for road construction, instil, of
Ihe $50,000 appropriated Ij earlier
years, thereby <*n-ii ling great tv devel
opment ::nd the pi* ij • r main.cn.meo or
existing roads. The report also sug
gested that steps bo taken to o.sk the
federal government for an appropria
tion of $250,000 for the construction of
the Nome-Kougarok proposed high'- i
"ay. The recommendation created |
considerable discussion among, the
members anti disclosed that many of i
the directors are in favor of recorn-- 1
mending that the old Seward Penin
sula Railroad be purchased on a sal
vage basis and placed in operation
pending the construction of an op.-m
highway through the peninsula In
tlie view of the speakers the road
could probably be purchased on a sal
vage basis, as it is going to ruin
through neglect at present and the
owners have already removed a por
tion of the iine^or sale for thn value
of rails and ties. Considerable dis
cussion was also had regard!n- a pro
posal to establish future trails- and
highways along telegraph an 1 tele
phone lines, thereby avoiding cst.ib
lishment of many trails whie'^iro not
actually required, when travelers fol
low their own inc'lia tion m frurney
in;; from one point to .Mother. It
was pointed ou‘ t' .t by laying out
future phone and telephone lines along
the most feasible route between camps
and settlements, travelers will natur
ally follow the telephone lines and in j
a short period will wear the original
footpaths into well defined trails. It
was suggested that all trails and tele
phone lines be established under gov
ernment direction, with the telephone
or telegraph line as the line of trail
communication ,the polos performing
the office of marking the trails as well
as the means of quick communication
by phone or telegraph. The plan
created great interest a»<fc will prob
ably result in some action being taken
to bring about the suggested end. A .
letter from Mr. John A. Davis, the j
Fairbanks Bureau of Mines expert i
who was here last summer, was also
presented. Mr. Davis* coinmuniea- |
tion contains matter <>f wide interest !
to the miners of this section and will 1
be published verbatim in a later issue. :
The secretary also read a letter from
a Minneapolis inventor describing in ,
invention known as the “snowplane”
and intended for use in countries
where snow is a feature of winter con
dition. The letter was oi great length
and described the invention as a com
bination of aeroplane and hydroplane
types and applicable to travel under
local winter conditions. At the close
of pie meeting, the Board decided that
in future the regular board meeting :
will be held every aSturday, com- .
mencing at 8:30 p. m. sharp.
