Fire Dept. Answers False
Alarm Friday and Call To
Power House This A.M.
The fire department answered a
false alarm last Friday evening
in the vicinity of the Nome Skin
Sewers. Due to the direction of
the wind, the smudge from a trash
burner spread over the Skin Sew
ers building and made it appear
that the structure was o*n fire.
Early this morning the fire
siren of the U.S. Smelting Co.,
followed by the fire siren of the
■city fire station alerted the com
munity to an explosion in the U.S.
Smelting power house caused by
a scored cylinder in one of the
big diesels. No damage resulted
outside of the engine, it was re
ported.

Washington, D.C. Pigeons
To Be Released Here In
Homing Experiment
John McCabe, of Washington
D.C., with a cage of homing pig
eons which he brought from Wash
ington, plans to release the birds
in Nome in an experiment to see
how many birds will return to
Washington.
McCabe said:
“I know it will take them some
time and all of them will not
complete the trip, but I am sure
that the hardiest will find their
way home.”
McCabe also has some common
pigeons with him which he is
using to attract birds of prey. He
is particularly interested in ob
taining a white hawk known to*
be in this area which destroys
small birds and bird eggs. He
would also like to obtain a white
Arctic owl.
He is at present in the Cape
Nome area seeking the hawks or
falcons.
