DR. BEN MORGAN AND
NIECE VISIT NOME
Dr. Ben Morgan and niece Bar
bara Roueche were visitors in
Nome this week. Dr. Morgan says
that ever since 1898 he has had a
desire to visit Nome but was never
able to take the time it required to
make the trip. With facilities now
available by air travel he decided
to fulfill this desire.
Dr. Morgan is from Chicago and
specializes in anesthesiology. He
invented the apparatus involved
in giving the proper dosage of
anesthetics and informed us that
Nome will soon have this modern
equipment. He stated that he en
joyed his visit here and was
amazed at the immensity of the
territory which.is unsettled.
