OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR MUCH LARGER
WINTER POPULATION
That the population of Nome will
bo somewhat larger than usual next
winter is indicated in the statements
of many who customarily winter in
fh*> states that they intend to remain
here during the closed period.
Their decision, in a majority of
cases, is animated largely by the
prospects for exceedingly unsettled
conditions on the big outside. Let-*
ters arriving from the states predict
exceedingly hard times and a major,
ity of those who correspond with
local people unhesitatingly predict
one of the most difficult winters for
labor development in many years j
One writer who is a keen observer'
and has traveled considerably, ven
tures the opinion that the country
will witness the worst times it ha
disastrous industrial depression
l*Most or those who are planning »o
stay i:i figure they can do better here
than outside and quite a number i‘*«r -
see an unusually promising season of
activity next year, as a result of tin
oil outlook and mining development
projects which it is reported, will be
inaugurated.
Nome is the (>istril»uting Center
