There will be an exhibit
of work at the Nome Public
School on Friday, May 8th.
There will be no program,
as there is no suitable place
to hold it. All pupils will
be dismissed at 2:30, and
those interested in seeing
the display are invited to
be at the building between
2:30 and 5:00 o’clock.
Several people have com
plained to the Nugget of
the filth, garbage, and stag
nant pools of water in many
parts of the city, and the
lack of drainage to carry off
the stagnant water, which
is one of the greatest germ
breeders these warm days.
The city officials should
make every effort to reme
dy this situation as soon as
possible and thereby help
to stop an epidemic of sick
ness which is bound to oc
cur if left undone.
Oscar Wick, aged 65, an
other of Nome’s pioneer
prospectors and miners,
died at the Maynard Colum
bus hospital at 3 A.M. to
day. He was walking about
town yesterday and last
night, and was found quite
late where he had fallen in
front of the home of Edw.
Ulricksen. Mr. Wick had
been in ill health for some
time.
He was immediately taken
to the hospital but died be
fore morning. Death was
due to coronary thrombosis
—form of heart failure.
Mr. Wick, who it is believ
ed belonged to several fra
ternal organizations in the
city, including the Moose,
Eagles, and Pioneers of Al
aska, was well and favor
ably liked by all who knew
him. For the past two
years his weakened condi
tion did not permit him to
do very strenuous work. No
arrangements for his fune
ral have been announced as
yet.
Robert E. Lyle, city engi
neer, during the period of
PWA loan and grant work
done here last year, receiv
ed in the last mail a letter
from District Cadastral En
gineer Geo. A. Parks, at
Juneau, advising him that
the U. S. Supervisor of Sur
veys in Washington, D. C.,
had notified him by wire
that Mr. Lyle had received
his appointment as a U. S.
Mineral Surveyor in Alas
ka. The appointment was
made April 27th, it was an
nounced.
Mr. Lyle decided to apply
for such an appointment
following the death of the
late A. G. Blake, who was
a U. S. Mineral Surveyor
here for a great many years
The appointment of Mr.
Lyle as U. S. Mineral Sur
veyor fills a necessary want
felt here for some time.
Those persons in the min
ing game who have valua
ble mining ground and oth
er pieces of property in this
section of Alaska, wrill now
have an opportunity to ap
ply for patents through the
survey services of Mr. Bob
Lyle.
Nugget Has Some
Oranges, But Sad
Say Missed Plane
The Nome Daily Nugget
had tough luck today ac
cording to a telegram from
the Juneau Empire which
stated that there were two
boxes of fresh oranges
from Los Angeles aboard
the steamer Yukon which
were to have been transfer
red to the PAA plane at
Juneau for transmission to
the Nugget at Nome and
the News-Miner at Fair
banks.
The wire said that or
ders in the mail were not
opened until after the plane
left Juneau yesterday for
Fairbanks and Nome, and
so the oranges will have to
continue to Seward aboard
the vessel and be received
here later.
It is all part of the pub
licity campaign of showing
how speedily fresh fruits
may be transmitted from
the place of their growth to
destinations in the far~
North.
The Nugget and the
News Miner will have to
just imagine for a few days
how good those oranges
can taste. Especially since
seeing Mayor Seidenverg’s
swell looking, five day old
oranges received today.
SAVE $2.00
$10.00 paid in advance will
give you the Nome Daily
Nugget for six months, A
saving of $2.00. Do it now !
