SANTA CLAUS HERE
Great news for Alaska—great news through two chan
nels. Salmon—premier Alaska product—of which Alaska
has 2,000,000 more cases this year than normally is selling
rapidly and the price is advancing.
Gold—second major product of Alaska—is flowing out
from placer and quartz areas in rate-smashing volume, and
gold today commands the highest price in history.
Is there a Santa Claus? Ask the Alaskans who are shar
ing these bounties.
Alaskans may well rejoice over the good fortune com
ing their way. The increased returns will go into thousands
of Alaskan pockets. The benefits accruing from the higher
production and the higher sale prices of these two commo
dities are arguments in themselves unto the wise.
The fishing industry needs no greatly increased follow-j
ing if any to develop that line of production to a maximum.
But with gold mining it is different. Alaska deserves
and should have greater federal aids for her mining industry.
If gold production has proved there is a Santa Claus for
Alaskans, it also proves there is likewise a Santa Claus in
Alaska for Uncle Sam—for the states to which this river of
golden wealth finds its way.
- It will be wisdom on the part of the influential agencies
of the government to do all in their power to provide new
federal aids for the gold mining industry of Alaska. Amer
ica will share increased returns from Alaska gold mines in
proportion as America aids in their development.
While Santa Claus has come to the mining and fishing
industries of Alaska it does not mean there will be abund
ance for all Alaskans this winter. Much, if not the major,
wealth from Salmon and fish flows out of the territory—the
real tragedy of Alaska—and so while the territory rejoices
in the abundance of its products the federal government
must temperltsVejoicings over Alaska’s gift of wealth with
justice to many Alaskans who may this winter need help
and who are not direct producers of the gold and salmon
which is so enriching the producers and the nation.
If Alaska is Santa Claus to America, America must be
good to those Alaskans who may be in need.—Exchange.
A WELCOME SANITARY MEASURE.
(Juneau Daily Empire.)
The announcement that the City of Juneau has defin-;
itely planned to destroy the present garbage heap now ad
jacent to the Douglas bridge wull allay the fears of many
Juneau and Douglas citizens, practically all of whom when
viewing the construction of the bridge were troubled with
the thought of how unsightly the proximity of this would
be to the beautiful new bridge.
More important, however, is the benefit the destruction
and removal of the unsightly and unsanitary condition will
be to the many Juneau people who live on Ninth Street and
in the nearby area. Many fine, well painted, comfortable
homes with neatly kept flower gardens have been built up
in that area, and while it is most unfortunate that these resi
dents necessarily endured the present arrangement so long,

Candle, Alaska, Nov. 21.
NOME NUGGET, Noipe.
Candle wishes to tell you how
proud we all are that you are again
printing the Nome Nugget. Inspite
of loosing everything in the fire the
Nugget managed to get a typed
paper out the next day and has
ever since. We all send our sincer
est wishes for a grand recovery and
more power to you.
Work here is still on its toes and
the new dredge is going up by leaps
and bounds. The new power plant
has been completed sometime since
and is working full time all the
time. Candle regrets that some of
the new comers have left for the
outside, including Mr. Dyer and the
others. Some of them will be back
but others have left for good.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Keenan are
planning on Xmas outside and they
will be leaving soon.
Mrs. Farrel came in just a short
time ago to join her husband. She
is an old timer of Alaska and knows
many people in Nome and around.
We welcome her back to the North.
This year has been the longest
working year Candle has seen for
some years. This is due to the new
company's activities and we are
sure glad to see it.
The Roust Airways have been
very busy here in the last months
and Mr. Tom Roust is in Nome now
but expected to be back in a day
or two.
Mr. Ralph Lomen stopped thru
here and we were all glad to see
him. He has been a favorite of Al
aska for many years. We notice he
still carries his pleasant blarney
aroi#.d. The depression, fire nor
anything else has taken that away.
We all wish Nome, the new NomeI
much success and prosperity, for
after the storm comes the dawn.
This will make a great deal of dif
ference in a few years from now
as the new stores and buildings will
be an asset to the community.
The Roust airways a short while
back were on the look out for an
Old timer by the name of Frank
Bulger. He had a stroke while up
the river here and was three days
coming into Candle. Then he was
taken to the Kotzebue hospital
where he stayed for sometime. Sud
denly he took it upon himself to
make the trip back here without
assistance and the last heard of him
he had left Baldwin to come over
the hill to Candle. The Roust air
ways made several trips trying to
locate Mr. Bulger but no trace has
been found. It is supposed that in
trying to cross the Lagoon he went
thru the slush ice. Thus is life.
Mrs. B. J. McConaghy is here
visiting her sister Mrs. Ben Good
rich. She is planning on an extend
ed visit. Candle is giving a dance
at which she will be the guest of
honor. We are pleased to have her
here, and hope she doesn’t hurry
back to Nome. Mrs. Goodrich is a
recent arrival here having joined
her husband who is managing the
Lomen Commercial Company Store
here.
A good time was had by all at
the dance Saturday night and we
hope Mrs. McConaghy enjoyed it as
much as we did.
Mrs. Chas. Evern has just arrived
from Kotzebue where she had been
at the hospital since the birth of
twin girls. The twins and mother
are getting along just fine.
Pilot Ben Easley and Thomas
Roust just arrived from Nome with
nail and freight. Their planes have
just had new engines installed and
ire ready for business once more.
