If a gin sells well in a few places, for a few
weeks, it’s generally good gin. But when ANY gin
leads ALL others for MONTHS in the ENTIRE
Territory, then you have found the ultimate gin—
OLD MR. BOSTON DRY GIN. For such is its
I proud, enviable record.
Give the credit to the gin itself. Here’s no
mere juniper-gin. Oh no! Crystal-clear Old Mr.
Boston Dry Gin is a happy, successful blend of six
teen world wide ingredients. It’s a versatile,
friendly gin, and mixes deliciously with bitters,
vermouth, lime or lemon, soda or ginger ale. It
lifts a cocktail or fizz oi> rickey to a veritable work
of art. Or you can drink it deliciously straight,
I for it’s as smooth as old brandy. It’s suave, and
with a delightful, quietly-interesting flavor.
Ask for, and insist on, Old Mr. Boston Dry
urn.—

A Sourdough
Woman of Nome
Recalls History
A letter dated Dec 30, 1934, Forest
Grove, Oregon, from Addie S. Burns
a former well known Nomeite and
who once was in charge of the Pio
neer Igloo Hotel of Nome, writes to
the publisher of the Nugget as fol
lows:
I imagine you remember me as
I am a real Sourdough, came to
Nome on one of the first boats in
1900, which makes me a real Alas
kan.
I had charge of the Pioneers Igloo
ten years—oh how it made my lit
tle heart ache for yotl dear people
in the terrible fire last September;
altho when people here say they
can’t do anything now that the city
is destroyed, I say, ha ha, you peo
ple out here don't know the pep
the Alaskans have—hope I’ll always
keep my Nome pep.
When I read the accounts in the
papers and saw pictures of it, it
sure brought tears full and fast to
my eyes. I said were I only rich,
how gladly I would go 50-50 with
those warm hearted Northerners; all
I can do is hope for you. Your
daughter Mildred, Margaret Rowe
and Frances Ross came down to the
wharf to say good bye to me. I often
thought how sweet of them, that
was on the 28th day of October,
1926—but my heart is with Nome;
always.
I want you to send me the Nome
Nugget if you are able to print the
paper again. There are a few sour
doughs here and we are so anxious
to hear how dear old Nome and the
people are getting along—fine I
hope." I had three copies of the
Fairbanks paper sent to me of Sept.
18,19,20th, was all the accounts I
have ever had. If I could have the
NUgget it would keep us in touch
with Nome and what you are all
doing.
Hoping for a prosperous New
Year and a new city—how I love
the people of Nome. As ever yery
truly, ADDIE S. BURNS,
No Main St., Forest Grove, Oregon.

Candle, Alaska, Jan. 31, 1935;
Upon receiving a telegram from!
Judge J. H. S. Morison, Nome, Al
aska, asking Candle to contribute to
President’s Birthday Fund, a dance
and luncheon were arranged where
by this money was to be raised.
Mrs. Nordlind and Mrs. Goodrich
acted as the committee in charge
and with the kind co-operation of
the rest of the Candleites a good
time was had by all. The few that
could not attend contributed to
wards this fund, so we all did our
little bit. 'A very generous contri
bution of $55.50 was collected. We ^
hope this will help a little.
Today Pilot Brown of the NAT,
brot mail and had as passengers;
Mrs. Mish of Nome ancL Boris Ma- j
ijids. Brown took off with Mrs.!
Mish -as passenger ■ for Kotzebue,
where they expect to spend the nite. i
They will leave for Nome after
wards. ,
Pilot Ben Easley of the Roust Air
ways took Herman Bernhardt and
daughter to Kiana returning later in
the afternoon. Mr. Bernhardt and!
daughter came down to attend their
elder daughter’s funeral. The de-j
ceased was Mrs. J. Sherman. Shei
succumbed after a lingering illness.
Mrs. Sherman leaves a husband and
three children, a father, brother andf
sister in Alaska, and one brother out
in the States. The funeral was at
tended by the immediate family and
a few friends. She was buried at
Keewalik as was expressed in her
last wishes. Candle offers consola
tion to the bereaved.
There has been a long seige of
colds and also ar^ epidemic of chick
en pox. However the worst is over
and we hope for a speedy recovery
for all those ailing now. A slight
touch of flu seems to still be linger
ing on in this camp and others in
the immediate vicinity. There
seems to be no serious after effects.
