A REQUEST
As part of the Commun
ity celebration of theChrist
mas season one of the San
ta Claus trees has been plac
ed and decorated in the
door yard of the Federated
church parsonage. As the
lights have been tampered
with and lamps stolen, this
statement is a request and
appeal to everyone in No
me to join the Committee
in permitting this beautiful
symbol to be undisturbed
nereaiter.
Editorial Comment—The
above item draws from us
nothing but disgust for the
type of person who will de
liberately tamper with or
steal things connected with
a beautiful display of Chris
tmas decoration. In past
years electrically decorat
ed Xmas Trees have never
been tampered with and
have gone unmolested.
Attention is called to the
public to please desist from
any practice such as this.
It is both degrading and
highly insulting to the peo
ple of Nome that such an
occurrence should take
place.

sideways with the lurch.
The entire procedure oc
curred more rapidly than it
takes time to tell, but he
was sprawled in the top of
a wave just away from the
ship’s stern lee quarter and
the Eskimo’s rail passed un
der him for an instant, just
long enough to allow him
to catch it and hang on.
He Clings to Stern
He hung on desperately,
weathering the rush of the
water leaving the deck as
the stern rose in the next
swell, and then pulled him
self to safety. By that time
men from the pilot house
had reached his side and
the ship’s engine had been
stopped.
Olson was helped to the
galley to recover from the
mishap. Except for a blow
on the face that he encoun
tered somewhere in it all,
he suffered no more than a
thorough ducking.

HAVE YOU I KIED
CO MAX COAL ?
COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv
er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam
ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup
ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of
Mr. II. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit
ed Nome last summer.
After investigating local conditions Mr. Plom
mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL
on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro
duced facts showing considerable saving compar
ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely
high in heating value, and because of its strong
coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend
ed that this coal should be used except in those
places where a healthy draft is available, and in
this regard it should not be inferred because the
draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to
waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there
is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir
ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere
that can be consumed with the coal, the better
the results.
