RAINFALL THIS MONTH
APPROACHES 1946 RECORD
The persistent downpour during
the month of August has led the
Nugget to inquire of the weather
bureau for some facts and figures.
Fot instance, today’s precipita
tion, as of 7:00 a.m. this morning
amounted to .62 inches, and the
month total to 6.81 inches. The
greatest amount of rainfall on rec
ord for August, was in 1946 when
7.07 inches fell. Thus August, 1951
is within .26 inches of equaling
the previous August reccrrd.
The all-time record rainfall for
any month, recorded at the Nome
weather bureau is 8.43 inches,
which fell in July, 1920.

Chamber of Commerce
Hears Inspiring Talk
By Okanogan Man
The Chamber of Commerce
meeting yesterday noon was high
lighted by a talk given by Mr.
Loris Gillespie, former newspap
erman from Okanogan, Wash.,
who compared the problems of
Nome with those of his commun
ity, although it is a farming area,
whereas ours is mining.
i
He spoke briefly but forcibly on |
the ill-advised action of the mili- '
i
tary and their short-sightedness in
making Northwestern Alaska ex
pendable. He stressed the import
ance of roads throughout the area
and told the Chamber that nothing
is gained without a struggle and
it has been his experience to enlist
alf possible pressure and influ
ence from corresponding business
interest and business relations to
help. “All have a tremendous in- I
fluence in the political arena” he
stated.
He urged the Chamber to use
its influence to its full capacity
as it was a force which brings
results.
Mr. Gillespie, who is also inter
ested in theaters in Washington,
is interested in the U. S. Tin
Mines, and is enroute to Lost
River to survey the company hold
ings.
A letter was read from Dele
gate Bartlett stating that he had
received many complaints on the
continued absence of District At
torney Frank Bingham and that
the matter would be brought be
fore the attorney general.
A letter from the Alaska Steam
ship Company praised the Cham
ber for the fine tourist booklet re
cently published here and asked
In Commissioner’s Court
Charles Iyapana was given a’
sentence of ten days in the Fed-,
eral jail for being drunk o*n a
public street. Charles arrived re
cently from Diomede Island.

for a thousand copies for distribu
tion.
Chuck West, of the tourist agency
with headquarters in Fairbanks,
praised Nome for its aggressive
ness in handling the tourists this
summer and gave his opinion that
now the pattern has been set by
Nome other Alaskan cities would
follow.
The following letter was sent by
the Chamber to Governor Dewey:
“T h e Northwestern Alaska
Chamber of Commerce joins with
the City of Nome in inviting you
to extend your visit in Alaska on
to Nome. Accommodations, as our
guests, will be arranged pending
word from you. The total lack of
defenses in this area and the de
cay of existing facilities are of
vital concern to the inhabitants of
this area as well as the nation
and we feel that it should be in
cluded in your itinerary.”
(Signed) H. F. Harper, Acting
President.
