The Nome Nugget is in receipt of
a letter from its old friend, O. D.
Cochran, who left Nome via plane
recently for Fairbanks on business.
The letter contains several interest
ing items, many of which refer to
the doings of former Nomeites.
Bernie M. Stone, editor and man
ager of the Fairbanks News-Miner,
has been quite sick and his assist
ant Editor Tewksbury has been
getting out the paper. When shown
a copy of the Nugget mimeograph
paper issued after the fire, Mr.
Tewksbury was much interested in
it and republished several articles
from it.
The w.eather has been ideal here
since I arrived, three days after
leaving Nome. We made three at
tempts to get over the divide into
the Yukon but it was too thick to
attempt to go through it and we
sat down at Unalakleet and waited
there a couple of days for it to
clear. I stopped with Charley
Traeger and I think that I am safe
in saying that he has the finest liv
ing quarters of any one on Seward
Peninsula. I enjoyed greatly my
stay there and had the pleasure of
meeting several people that I knew
only by reputation.
Around the hotel here I see John
Estleman, who has been working
for the F.E. company, Harry Owen
who is also working for the same
company, Cap Ansen likewise em
ployed. Also Attorneys John L.
McGinn, H. N. Castle, Charles Tay
lor, Judge E. Coke Hill, and many
other old timers from the Seward
Peninsula.
Charley Brower and his son came
over with Percy Hubbard a couple
of days ago and was to go from
here to Point Barrow via Wiseman.
But none of the flyers will go there
at this season of the year. So Char
ley and his boy are leaving next
Thursday morning for Seward and
San Francisco.
I have a case set for trial here on
the 19th of this month and will be'
here until it is disposed of. After
it is finished I will probably go on
outside, though its possible I may
come back to Nome.
It is gratifying to learn that the
building program is going forward.

After the buildings now under con
struction are completed, it should
relieve greatly, the housing situa
tion in Nome for the coming winter.
I saw the account of your recent
fires in the News-Miner and was
told about them by Charley Brow
er. I should think that town over
there had had enough fires for a
while.
Last evening the fire alarm was
sounded here and I looked out of
my window in the hotel and saw
the fire department stop just on the
corner across the street from us, so
I began to look around for my grips
to pack up. But nothing came of it
and I settled down again.
Bob Mackey, formerly with the
Hammon Company at Nome, is liv
ing out on Esther Creek and I have
not yet seen either he nor Mrs. Mac
key. He is in charge of the drilling
operations on that creek for the F.
E. Company.
I see the Wm. Arthurs family
nearly every day, they are doing
well and are very comfortably sit
uated. Mrs. Arthurs is not very
well.
Mrs. E. B. Collins, the wife of
Mayor Collins, passed away at the
hospital here Friday. I have
known Mr. Collins very welj since
1921, he and I having been together
in the legislature at Juneau. I met
her going out last winter. She was
a very prominent and highly re
spected lady in the division.
I meet our old friend Abe Simson
every day and visit him frequently
in his store. He asked me about
the Nugget and its editor.
I sure enjoy receiving the Nome
Daily Nugget via plane.
Very Sincerely Yours,
O. D. COCHRAN

AN OPEN LETTER
NOVEMBER 7th, 1934.
TO THE PEOPLE OF NOME :
Believing it is pardonable, we take pride in bringing to your attention
the service we have given over a period of many years to Nome, and particularly
the service given you since the disastrous fire which destroyed practically all of
,this city’s business section.
Within -twenty four hours after the fire started our fast steel cargo
ahd passenger steamer the S. S. Dellwood, was on berth ready to receive cargo
for Nome. She was loaded with all dispatch and when ready was sailed from
Seattle to Nome. Immediately the S. S. Dellwood sailed, another of our steel car
go steamers, the S. S. Depere, was put on berth to take care of all the overflow
cargo of the S. S. Dellwood’s and to accept any new cargo offered. We want to
particularly point out the speed with which these ships were loaded and sailed.
Upon arrival here the two vessels discharged their cargoes with all dispatch and
have now returned to Seattle.
The United States Government gave to Nome for emergency relief
purposes the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. The ALASKA STEAMSHIP
COMPANY, in cutting their freight rates in half, contributed practically the same
amount. With that, this company, if it could be possible, gave even more prompt
and better service than ever before. This service was badly needed to help recon
struct Nome before winter weather set in. It was given gladly and whole heart
edly and we are proud that we did give it. 4
To give Nome people full opportunity to order needed goods, after
all other steamers had sailed for Nome, our S. S. VICTORIA sailed later than
she for mapy years past. She has discharged her cargo for Nome and is now
nearing Seattle, the termination of her voyage.
Nome, rising Phoenix like from the ashes, is an exemplication of the
spirit of the far north showing the will to conquer under the hardest of con
ditions. We are proud to be associated with you and to have had a part in the re
building and reconstruction of a bigger and better Nome. We are proud to have had
such an extensive part in this work and we would like to compliment you upon
your integrity, your spirit, your strong heartedness, and place with it the sincere
hope that you will never again be stricken as of this recent fire.
Most sincerely,
ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY
