pram from Col. Steese stating that
the contraot for dredging Snake
River Harbor has been awarded to
him. The work contemplated is
not to exceed 5000 cu. yds. and
as weather permits. It is stipulat
ed that the dredge shall work 24
hours per day until the work is ar
romplished. unless weather condii
5000 yard contraot include both
it he unfinished work of last year
and the new dredgingjor this sum j
remains undredged just within the,
mouth of the jetties. Work for the
1923 season calls for removal of j
this unfinished section and further |
dredging beyond the jetties until i
the S foot level of Norton Sound N J
Mr. Keenan is already employed J
iii overhauling his suction dredge ,
and expects lo begin operations just I
as soon as the ice danger is passed.
A new emergency pump will be re

MAIL ARRIVES ON LAST TRIP
peter Curran arrived Wednesday j
hfiturnoon at 3:30 o'clock with the
balance of the surplus maiil contract
ed for. 1019 pounds were carried
this trip and 29 dogs were used to
pull .the two sleds containing the
consignment. At present there re-'
mains about 2500 pounds of acumu
lated mail alt T'naHakleet and it will
remain there until the contract is
let to the mail boat making the
Nome-St. Michael run. Nome will j
receive a large amount of its winter
mail as soon as the ice leaves Bering j
Sea. We can then read what hap- .
pened last fall and early winter—not j
ro had when you consider that at
the North Pole one might get no \
mail ait all.
Residents of Seward Peninsula (
can hardly apply M. Coue's sugges-1
tion of ‘‘Every I>ay in Every Way,
Wo aire getting Better, Better” (mail I
pervtce.)
If the government would eliminate j
worthless, bulky advertising matter, j
and first class propaganda from the
mail the space available for worth
while matter would be greatly in
creased and a much smaller accumu-'
1 at ion would result. At the present
time each mail received contains [
from 10 to 25 percent of matter,that j
should never be sent to Alaska dur
ing the winter. What we want Is |
papers and magazines enlightening1
us on subjects of more interest than j
geological surveys, political party
propaganda, senate speeches, etc., i
etc. This office during-the winter'
consigned to th^ wastebasket j
enough matter from the ‘‘37” gov-,

It is not premature to calfl bhe
attention of our citizens to the sub

and business houses of Nome are in
need of brightening up and no more
profitable ot pleasing results can be
obtained .than to repaper, paint and

Not only Is the property value In

Tn due course of time, when the
snow has disappeared, a clean-up of

Ol.IV TIME RESIDENT
UETTltXS TO NOME
A. J. Faber arrived in Nome May
1st. completing a twenty day mush
nn foot from Marshal. Mr. Faber
is a former Nome resident having
come here in 1898. at which time
the only habitations were on the
Spit. Sffcalyinig here until 190fi he !
left Nome and went into the Yukon j
country where he has remained un- j
til his arrival here May 1st. While j
in the upper muutry Faber became j
familiar witth the people and act i vi
nes of that section, and mangy inter-j
Listing facts are ait his finger tips.
Mr. Faber stoles thht the Ashing
situation alo-ng the river, due to re
cent legislation, has caused many
people to be. thrown out of employ- j
memit; has forced packers to witth- j
draw their canneries and has permit- j
ted other outfits to take their place, j
outfits thatt ca/ues a greater depie- j
tion of food fish than obtained under i
the old conditions.
Regarding available barges along !
the Yukom thb musher states that at
the present time there are a num
ber of them. onp named the .Erie,
with a' oaftacity of 1000 tons and
built for open water such as the trip
from St. Michael to Nome, can be
purchased ait a reasonable price and
would be suitable for hauling coial
from the Yukon to Nome. Due to
its capacity It would be impossible
to load fully at Nenana. on accoun*
of shallow waiter. Besides this boat
Erie there are three smaller sea
worthy bargee of 500 ton capacity,
either of which could be advantag
eously employed on the Nome. Sf.
Michael Nenana run.
Speaking of fish and canneries Mi.
Faber stated thait the Carlyle Can
nery was forced to pull stakes and
seek new locations, as a resuR of
prohibitive legislation. This ha
meant that thousands of dollars paid
in wagps is lost to both whites and
natives along the Yukon. As to
this or similar canneries depleting
the fish supply and thereby causing
natives along the river to auger thru
lack of food supplies, he states Is
pure bunk. The cannery employed
its own fishermen and also bought
all fish thait private fishermen could
supply, creating a market that has
now been destroyed.
