Returns from the recent campaign
for voluntary contributions to the fund
for erecting a national memorial in
honor of Theodore Roosevelt discloses
that Candle citizens came very close to
overtopping Nome in attesting their
regard for the deceased expresident,
despite a difference of several hundred
in the number of people residing In the
two communities.
Reports from Candle reaching Mr.
Fred Harrison, chairman <>f the
Roosevelt Memorial Committee for the
Second Division, show that Candle
with n population scarcely over 125
subscribed only $6 less than Nome, the
population of which is approximately
400. Council City. too. also made a
far better showing than the metropolis
of the peninsula, turning in a total
subscription of $34 as against the $51
subscribed here. Measuring the sub
scriptions on a per capita basis, N'onu
ran a very bad third in showing honor
to one of tlie greatest Americans who
ever lived. Candle's per capita sub
scription was approximately 36 cents;
that of Council about 34 cents, estimat
ing the population of the latter at 100.
Assuming the population as 400. the
per capita return of the city was 13*4
FLOOD COVERED KRUZGAMAPA
HOT SPRINGS
An inundation of such proportion*
as to practically cover the entire valley
in which Kruzngnmapa Hot Springs is
located occurred during the early Nov
ember thaw and resultant flood which
damaged the Snake river harbor im
provements and created general havoc
.with bridges and ferries over a largo
'part of the peninsula, according to in
[ formation brought to Nome last week
by AI Carey, who has been connected
with the Hot Springs establishment
for the past year or more.
Mr. Carey says the flood filled the
entire Kruzagamapn valley from hill
side to hillside but. luckily, failed to do
more than a nominal amount of dam
age. He estimates that the water in
the Kruzagamapn river rose fully ten
t feet before the flood started to sub
side. It Is believed. Mr. Carey states,
that the raise was largely due to an
ice blockade at the mouth of the Kruz
gamapa which held the great quantity
of water precipitated by the remark
able thaw until It backed up to the
degree that only the buildings attached
to the Springs establishment remained
above the flood. During the period
when the water was highest, practical
ly everything visible, aside from the
Ihutklings and trees, was entirely out
| of sight. The rollers were flixuled
and at one time the water rose to the
floors of the buildings. According to
Mr. Carey, the native residents say
the water was higher than they have
ever known it to be. The greatest
part of the material damage at Hot
Springs resulted from the carrying
away of a good sized quantity of lum
ber. None of the buildings were in
jured however, and the general dam
age is considerable slight.
Mr. Carey says the water also rose
to unprecedented heights at Mary's
Igloo. At one period the Bureau of
Education school was the only build
ing entirely out of water. The native
settlement was flooded to some extent
but, as was providentially the case at
Hot Springs, no great amount of pro
perty damage resulted. The natives
will suffer to some extent through their
fish caches being filled and covered by
a heavy coating of ice.
According to Mr. Carey, the sub
sidence of the flood was followed by a
cold spell which caused the entiro
flooded district to become coated with
a thick layer of ice. As a result of
this development, combined with an in
ability to secure a requisite supply of
hay, owing to the exceptionally wet
summer, It was found necessary to
slaughter a portion of the pigs, angora
goats and other live stock. Father
Post, who is in charge of Hot Springs
activities, expected to keep the ani
mals alive until later by grazing.
There is usually a fair supply of herb
age and grass to be found around the
heated springs area until well Into the
winter. Ho was compelled to aban
don the project, however, owing to
everything being covered by the Ice.
Four goats, two plga and two mules
are all the animals loft out of the con
