RADIO COMMUNICATION * _
OPENED BETWEEN
NOME AND ANADYR
Commercial radio communications1
between Nome and'Anadyr Is now an
established fact, as a result of arrange
ments made by the government. The
Nome Chamber of Commerce received
a wire from Seattle during the early1
days of the post week notifying that
body that commercial wireless com*
mucation would be inaugurated be
tween Nome and Anadyr, service to
begin July 1st. The rate announced
is 28 cents per woid, with a minimum
of ten words per message. Addresses
and signatures will be free of charge.
There are no variations to this sched
ule and then* will !>e no night letter
Owing to rapidly increasing com
mercial intercourse between Nome and
Siberia, the inauguration of commer
cial wireless communications between
Nome and Anadyr coasts will un
doubtedly be of great advantage to the
business interests and residents of both
sections and result in a Wide increase
in commercial Intercoms?.
OLD TIMERS RETURN

Louis Levy, the well known fur man.
and John Hegness, winner of the first
All Alaska Sweepstakes dog race to

looking after his fur business as usual,
while Hegness is not yet decided as to
where he will devote his activities.
■ Mr. I^evy describes the fur market
fes "shot to,pieces." White fox and
tiveusel do not sell at any price, he
hays and fox of the ordinary varieties
are generally speaking, a drug on the
market. He does not think, however,
that this condition will obtain for any
great length of time and prophesies
an early ireturn of demand. Prices
may not reach the high figures of the
past year, ho says, hut are to be con
siderably higher than at
present,
FLYING FIELD
NEARING COMPLETION
Thp aeroplane landing: near Ft.
|Davis is rapidly nearing completion
j .under the direction of W. J. Howe,
who undertook the- contract of pro
viding a landing for the airplanes par
ticipating In the scheduled flight from
Minneola. New York, to 'Nome via
I Canada.
Owing ot the boggy character of the
|ground, the attempt to prepare a field
[on Cold Hill, the site originally se
lected, was abandoned some days ago.
The ground was found to be of such
character that a proper landing could
be constructed only at great expense
A site was then selected on the broad
'aandy flat lying between Ft. Davis and
[Nome River bridge and appears to be
|well suited for the purpose. The work
of preparation consists of grading and
laying a heavy coating of manure over
the sandy soil. This is then rolled
Into tire sand and forms a hard, com
pact surface. LeRoy Wells, whose
experience as an airplane mechanician
during the war qualifies him to pass
Judgement, says the field will meet the
requirements. Mr. Rowe expects to
have the works completed In a few
days. The great flight is scheduled to
start from Minneola on July 10th, with
five army aviators participating.

The shipping Board plana to run a;

smaller vessels plying as feeders Sor
the main line boats Is not calculated
to arouse any degrees of enthusiasm'
In the breasts of the resident* of thooe

up the terminals and tear down the j

we. fear their efforts are wasted. .

COUNCIL HOLDS
BI-WEEKLY SESSION
The Nome Common Council met in
regular session Monday evening at fi t
City Hall and decided to constitute it
self a committee of the whole to look
into the prospective coal situation
created by the retirement of the Alas
ka Lighterage Co. from the local con*
purveying field the coming winter
and to take such steps at may be re
quired to insure a fuel supply for t.iose
who cannot secure it during the smn
The councilman were all on hand
except councilmen Ca.vey and Taraut
ter when Mayor Ilice called for order
around the usual hour. The minutes
of the previous meeting were read and
approved. A communication present
ed by Nele Swan berg offered $78 for
lot 28, block 6«. Action wa* deferred
until a committee can look Into the
proposal. A communication from W.
J. Ilowe complained that the Dry
Creek bridge Is in an unsafe condition
for traffic. The communication as
serted that the public Is being greatly
Inconvieneed thereby, due to the unsafe
condition of that structure. “And we
respectfully request that the said
bridge be made safe at the earliest pos
sible date” the message continued. .
“Occasion requires that we cross tbs
bridge daily and we will look to the
city In the event of our sustaining an>
damage." After duly assimilating Mr.
Rove’s statement the council authoriz
ed the city clerk to refer Mr. Ilowe to
a certain city ordinance designated as
'hdtnnnce 198 the tenor of which is
that "loads over two tons in weight
are an Infraction of the law." and to
inform liim that its provisions would
be strictly enforced. The council also
instructed the Street Committee to
have signs posted at both ends of the
bridge warning the public of dire pun
ishment in the event of anyone cross
ing the bridge with loads of more tnan
two tons weight.
The committee appointed to Investi
gate the subject of heathur' the muni
cipal building next asked for more
time and the request was granted.
Mayor Rice reported he had inves
tigated the matter of repairing the
public school building, stating that It
would require 11,000 feet of drop sid
ing and 10,000 feet of building paper to
place the structure in proper shape.
He informed the council that the cost
of the lumber would be $100 per thous
and In Nome. It could be secured from
the outside and landed here for $78
. per thousand, he said and he had al
' ready wired for the desired amount.
, Bills owed by the city were next taken
| up iind ordered paid under a suspen
sion of the rules after endorsement by
the Finance Commute.
('otmcilman Tamutxer reported that
AI Orland had complained to him re
garding an alleged increase In the Or
land taxes. Orland claimed, Mr. Tar
nutxer said, that hie taxes were raised *
this year, that he was overtaxed and
that he would not pay the aeaesement
demanded. Orland was willing to pay
the same amount ao. previously assess
ed, but no more. At this juncture City
Clerk Grimm informed the council
that Mr Orland’s taxes had not been
raised one cent over last year. The
difference, he said, was due to the fact
that two pieces at property belonging
to Mr. Orland had been overlooked tn
making up the 1118 tax assessments
and had not been included In Mr. Or
land’s tax bill. The error was discov
ered last fall and the tax in the two
properties included In this yeay's tase-t.
In the light of this explanation the
council agreed that Mr. Orland la sub
ject to/the amount taxed.
The council next took up the coal
situation and decided, after consider
able discussion, to consider Itself a
committee of the whole for Investiga
tion ef the outlook report as to what
action had best ha taken to be made
at n. future meeting. 1
