N. J. NICHOLSON, FORMER
NOMEITE, TELLS KOBUK
SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
Returning to Nome by plane
last evening from Kiana and Kot
zebue, was N. J. Nicholson who
just completed the construction
of a new territorial school house
at Kiana. Pilot Jimmy Dodson
of the Northern Air Transport
brought his plane in after dark
about 8 p.m. making a smooth
landing. Others on the plane
were Stanley Sutton and Walter
Wesley who are enroute to Jun
eau. A native woman was also
a passenger on the plane.
Mr. Nicholson, who by the way
is an old Nomeite, was formerly
of the contracting firm of Boyn
ton and Nicholson at Nome from
1899 to 1909. He built the Mas
onic Temple and placed it on the
.first foundation ever experienced
within this section—the posts
were set in permanent frost—
and was one of the few buildings
that did not shift by glacial ac
tion before the big fire of two
.years ago tomorrow, which wip
ed out ten blocks.
He also constructed the great
aerial tramway of the John J.
Sesnon Co., which was used for
lightering of freight years ago.
and when the Bourbon creek
dredge sank, it was Nick Nichol
son that raised it again.
During the past 15 years Mr.
Nicholson has been engaged in
building churches, hospitals, mis
sions and school buildings all ov
er the interior of Alaska under
the direction of Bishop Peter T.
Rowe, and no less than $10,000
to $15,000 per year was spent in
this manner.
During the present summer he
has been associated with Robert
(Bob) Sommers—The Sommers
Construction Company of Jun
eau. Before coming to Nome
early in the summer he construc
ted a territorial school including
teachers housing quarters at Tal- i
ketna on the Alaska Railroad
belt, costing $6,000. Upon its
completion he came here and
upon arrival of the freighter from
Seattle with the material for the
school he started his long trip to
Kiana. Mr. Nicholson stated he'
built the school house with liv
ing quarters for the teacher, Miss
Clark, in 35 days with no other
help but natives and Eskimos, at
a cost of $9,000, although he said
the cost of freight to Kiana was
little different from the cost of
freight to Talketna on the rail
road belt. He further said that
both school buildings will have
seating accomodations for 40 pu
pils. Miss Clark will be the only
white lady in that particular sec
tion this winter.
Mr. Nicholson will leave Nome
via plane for the coast as soon as
weather permits, and states he is
anxious to get back and get start
ed on other construction jobs for
the Sommers Construction Com
pany.
