OF LOCAL FIRK BOVS
At 11:30 P. M. Tuesday night a
fire alarm was responded to by the
Nome Fire Department, the alarm
was turned in from the Hamilton
Consolidated Gold Fields power
piant on Dry Creek.
A spurn from the exhaust of one
of the engines ignited some material
which had been placed around the
water pipes in order to kpep th*»
pipes from freezing. The Fire De
partment assisted by employees of
the Hammon Company after some
time extinguished the blaze with
very little damage resulting.
Had it not been for the timely
response of the capable fire depart
ment. and the ready assistance ren
dered by the employees of the Ham
mon Company the blaze could have
resulted in much damage to the
Supt. H. It. Edwards expressed his
appreeiation of the local Fire De
partment’s ready response to the
alarm which was outside the city
limits by presenting each member
of the Department with a token of
appreciation.

Fire Station over the telephone at

The Stampede Riven at the large
Eagle Hall Saturday last was a de
rided success. From the time the
dours were opened to the public un
til the last morsel of cake was
swallowed by—well there is no use
in exposing him, there was some
thing doing.
“The program" was opened with
a vocal trio consisting of Paul Mc
Daniel. Dan Withers and Robert
Mills who entertained the audience
in some real “narber Shop Chord"
and from the size of the bottle from
which each took a “shot" there is
is little wonder they harmonized —
comes easy after a few of those.
Miss Noreen Burke had the audi
ence guessing for a while and her
feature dance was received with
loud applause from the audience.
Howard Hughes is a “Wlz” with
the illuminated clubs. During the
performance, a fellow who has
spent most of his time <>n the rail
roads outside, remarked. “I’d hate
to be an engineer and have that
Dude braking for me and shoot
signals at me with a lantern as fast
as he is handling those clubs now.
we unanimously agreed with the old
rail that he was right. Later n
in the program Hughes entertained
the audience with some real classy
work on the horizontal bar. Mr.
Hughes is a clever athlete.
Oh Boy that Cafe scene took us
right on back to the good old days
that "ain't no more." Little Miss
May Sawyer’s interpretation of a
young lady slightly under the in
fluence of liquor was perfect. While
she is little more than.a child, she
grasped the idea quickly and show
ed wonderful talent. Miss Joan Se
lander who took the part of the Cafe
“Tough Guy” played her part, like
a veteran. Both these young lad
ies are to be complimented on their
