PWA Loan and Grant for Nome
The Chamber endorsed favorable
action on the Public Works Admin
istration Loan and Grant applica
tion by the City of Nome, and urd
od that the Legislature memorialize
Congress that this grant shuold be
allowed as soon as possible, so that
construction can begin as soon as
the winter season is over.
Federal Building For Nome
The Northwestern Alaska Cham
ber of Commerce favors the con
struction of a Federal Building at
Nome to house all government
agencies—U. S. Court House, Post
Office, U. S. Marshal, District Attor
ney, District Clerk, Customs, Wea
ther Bureau, Signal Corps, Coast
Guard, U.. S. Commissioner, Alaska
Road Commission, Reindeer Service,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Jail, and
all other Territorial and Federal of
fices.
The Chamber urged that endorse
ment of the Legislature be given
and that memorials be sent to the
proper authorities, so that speedy
action will be forthcoming.
Endorse Territorial Chamber
t.
In as much as it is believed that
Nome was the first city in Alaska
to organize a Chamber of Com
merce and was among the first to
sponsor a Territorial Chamber, it is
agreed that further endorsement of
the work of this splendid organiza
tion should be, given. The N. W.
Alaska Chamber of Commerce
heartily endorsed the Territorial
Chamber and urged that the Legis
lature pass an appropriation of
$5,000.00 to be spent by the Terri
torial Chamber under the direction
of the Governor, in the course of its
various duties, such as publicity and
the proper dissemination of facts
concerning the various industries
and potentialities of Alaska.
Endorsement of Fairs
This Chamber takes the lead in pro
posing that appropriations be con
tinued of $2,000 per year for each
division as the Territory’s contribu
tion to maintain Fair organizations,
both industrial and agricultural. It
requested that legislation be intro
duced to such end and that coopera
tion with other divisions be organ
ized, and to procure for the North

western Alaska Fair Association at
Nome the usual annual appropria
tion.
Stabilisation of Gold
The N. W. Alaska Chamber urges
that the Legislature adopt a memo
rial direct to the President of the
United States, praying that steps be
taken to stabilize the price of gold,
to restore financial confidence.
Bounty Wolves, Coyotes
This Chamber endorsed the reso
lution of the Petersburg Chamber,
calling for an increase in the bounty
on wolves and the assignment of as
many expert predatory animal hun
ters as possible, to help instruct Al
aska trappers in the best methods
to use in removing the wolf and
coyote menace.
Tariff on Pulp Products
The Nome Chamber endorsed the
resolution of the Ketchikan Cham
ber favoring a protective tariff on
news print, pulp and pulp products,
and the memorializing of the same
to Congress.
Reduction Telegraph Tolls
The Chamber here passed a reso
lution that the War Department and
the U. S Signal Corps be ^petitioned
to grant us whatever reduction is
compatible with the splendid ser
vice maintained.
1 It is convinced that the volume
of traffic through the Nome Radio,
Station could be greatly increased
and stimulated by a lower rate,
thereby accelerating the industrial
and economic development of the
territory.
Revetment at Nome
The Second Division delegation is
urged to use their efforts to get the
Federal government to construct a
revetment along the shore of Bering
Sea of similar type to the revetment
that is being installed in Snake
River by the U. S. Engineers, by the
action of the Nome Chamber. Said
revetment should extend not less
than two thousand feet along the
beach in the rear of buildipgs locat
ed on the South side of Front street.
Community Hall at Nome
The delegation is again urged to
use every endeavor to obtain for
Nome some help or cooperation to
relieve thf situation here, ipertain
ing to the lack of a suitable com
munity haf^

ed in seeing that she should get one.
An Ice Breaker in Bering Sea
The N. W. Alaska Chamber ol
-
Commerce suggests that a memor
ial. be sent to Congress, petitioning
the the V. S. Coast Guard be pro
vided with one or more ice break
ers for duty in Bering Sea.
.. The practicability of ice breakers
has been proven in other parts of
the world, where various., nations
have used., them in the assistance
rendered ships of their nation and
commercial steamers, caught in the
ice in northern waters... The United
States is without this service and
the Nome Chamber is urging that
action be taken, toward., securing
same for duty in the North Pacific...
These various measures calling for
lines of development have., been
mailed and before the., session at
Juneau is completed we shall be
hearing about them again..
The program for legislative needs
put forth by the Northwestern Al
aska Chamber of Commerce, after
consultation and advise from var
ious parties throughout the Second
Division, is progressive and con
structive In every detail... It should
receive the wholehearted support of
every citizen of this Division, and
will, be placed before the Legisla
ture by our Second Division delega
tion, with their complete support.
“Strange Interlude”
Coming Tuesday To
The Dream Theatre
The brilliant Eugene O’Neill
drama, “Strange Interlude”, which
ran for a year and a half on Broad
way, comes to the screen tomorrow
with Norma Shearer playing the
intense emotional heroine, Nina
Leeds, and Clarke Gable cast as Doc
tor Ned Darrell, whose influence
plays havoc with her life. The pict
ure will open Tuesday at the Dream
Theatre.
Two Recording Systems
As a play, “Strange Intrelude”,
was probably the most discussed and
highly praised stage work in the
history of the American drama. Its
amazing use of spoken thoughts or
“asides” has been retained in the
screen version, necessitating the use
of two separate sound systems to
record dialogue.
ui aaaiuunai interest is me iact
that the action of the plot covers
some thirty years, requiring nine dif
ferent transformations of character
to denote the aging of the principals.
The story «f “Strange Interlud|”
revolves about the daughter of a col
lege professor who finds herself on
the verge of a nervous breakdown
as a result of having denied herself
to her lover, who is subsequently
killed in the world war. As a hyst
erical reaction, she strips herself of
all inhibitions and lives a life of
complete, erotic abandon. Later, she
finds herself adored by one man,
married to a second, and in love
with a third, which circumstances
involve her in a tremendously dram
atic vortex. The narative continues
until Nina Leeds is an aged woman,
at which time her problems conflct
with those of her grown-up son and
his sweetheart.
