BY CENTRAL HEATING PlaANT
After several weeks of negotia
tion between the City of Nome and
the Alaska Mines Corp. it has been
decided to heat the Fire Depart

Alaska Mines central heating plant.
As no satisfactory arrangements
could be made to heat the City Hall
as well, that office will use a heat
ing stove. A sufficient amount of
coal has been purchased to keep
C'erk Grimm comfortable.

MYSTIC • NUMBER THREE
Members of the old school o£
philosophy (called Pagans by our
superintelligencia of modern times)(
placed great significance in the
mystic numbers 3-5 and 7. To
explain their meaning as applied by
the ancients would prove dull read
ing to many who scoff at anything
they cannot understand, therefore
the soft peddle.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO
HELP A WORTHY
LOCAL CAUSE
The hospital building:, now under construction has been made
possible by the Woman's Home .Missionary Society of the Methodist
Episcopal Church and its friends. The cost of construction will be around
six or seven thousand dollars. The good ladies of this society desire that
Nome have a placp suitable- to care for its sick and have done this for
Nome and for you.
No such institution is self supporting and it is certain that a
private institution could not survive under such circumstances and condi
tions as exist in this country.
The cost of maintenance of the little institution, which is now to
be superceded by a larger and more adequate one. has been $28,000. for
the last four years, or since the closing of the Holy Cross. The receipts
have been $16,000 and the balauce of $12,000 is the Women’s Missionary
Society's gift to Nome. Are you not willing to aid them in this donation
they are so generously making to our community.
This is the only hospital for miles around and has cared for all
kinds of patients. If the unfortunate patient is financially impossible to
pay. the question of pay is never broached to,him; over $3,000 of charity
has thus been extended.
The institution is not up here in business for the money, but it
requires money to maintain it. Your help and cooperation is needed
especially at this time when these* people are spending their all in erecting
a hospital which will be a credit to Nome, and which will be as complete
ly furnished as many of-the best hospitals ouside.
Help is needed to bring this work to its final completion and to
give the necessary aid to the poor unfortunates who will next be brought
to its doors. Who knows but what it may be you or your family w*ho
will some day be coming to itsdoors for aid and relief. You want the
best, of course. The Woman’s Home Missionary Society Is giving you
the best it can and with your aid a hospital worthy of its name may be
maintained here, and Miss Saville with her splendid corps of nurses will
be greatly aided and enthused for the work of service that awaits them.
A committee will wait upon you within a few days and thus give
you an opportunity of sharing in a work of charity which truly begins
at home. Will you not at least give them a most hearty welcome and a
generous response.
