day evening for the camp and en
joyed an extended journey clear ac
ross the street when it was discov
ered that’ his car had a broken axel

layed until a later date.
Then* is a at rone tendency among
the inhabitants of the -northern Al
aska towns to bemoan the fate that
made the towns as they are today
instead of the thriving camps of a
decade or two ago. Truly, the old
gray mare ain’t what she used to be
but in bewailing the fact let us not
lose sight of the virtues that are still
with us. In Nome we have a res
taurant serving meals in quality and
excellence, second to none in the
North. Nome, unlike Fairbanks and
Dawson, is not the center of an ag
rictluura! district, hence this dis
tinction, accorded our town by the
traveling public, is of all the more
credit to our city.
L. M. Betts of Seattle and Stanley
Warburton of Tacoma were passen
gers aboard the gas schoonet; Trad
er which left Nome for Teller last
Sunday morning. Messrs. Betts and
Warburton are going to Ameri
can River in the Teller district in
the interests of the Luther Mining
and Dredging Company. As a sid<3
issue to his regular activities. Mr.
Betts will install a Radio transmit
ting and receiving set for the above
mentioned company. Mr. Warburton
expects to make his stay in the north
or.ly seasonal, while Mr. Betts states
that he may remain in Nome this
Winter. We do not know just how
deeply Mr. Betts is interested in
Nome, but we hope not to an extent
where it will be necessary to add an
other mail boat to the Lomen fleet
with direct service between Nome
and Teller.

I of the ages has been carried out by
a mantle of green paint artistically

viewed from ships in the roadstead.
Bathing beauties are again in
| vogue and the outside press is gen
I erously illustrated with bathing
beauties of every size, figure and
pose while the press of the northern
states loudly boast of their local
climates. While Nome does not en
joy the popularity of the California
and Florida winter beaches, the
Minnesota summer lakes or the
balmy summers of Puget Sound, we
defy any climate to match the gold
en days we were privileged to en
joy during the past week. Ours is
•r.ot the withering sunshine of the
desert, the dazzling sun of the snow
peaks or the smoky sun of the tim
ber lands. Our summers may be
brief, but good Dame Nature’s en
chanting flood of golden glory thru
the nightless days, laughs to scorn
the crudeness of tho summers of the
southern climes. And more, the
sands of Nome are not without their
bathing beauties who were quite in
evidence last Monday evening to
grace the shores of Bering Sea ]
Out beyond the shimmering waters :
of the roadstead an ice field lingers, j
now unseen in its distant reality and .
now a mighty glacial wall in mys- i
tic mirage. Nome’s bathing beau
ties of our distant Northland shall
r.ot go unheralded nor yet unsung. ■ \
