A YEAR AGO THIS DATE
September 17, 1934!—A day which brought unbeliev
able tragedy to Nome—the day on which nearly every busi
house in the city was destroyed by the worst conflagration
ever to be experienced by Nome.
Twice before Nome had been partially burned by ter
rible fires, but the one which occurred on this date last
year made a sweep of the city leaving nothing in its wake,
nothing but charred and twisted remains, and will stand
in the memories of everyone as being the most terrible dis
aster ever to strike the City of Nome.
Today, looking backward for one year, we see the pro
gress, inspiring initiative and enterprise of the business peo
ple of Nome. They have erected new buildings; streets have
been straightened out; blocks have been reallocated in lots
to make a business district of which Nome can be proud. The
functions of the city government— its fire fighting system;
drain; wide, spacious streets and sidewalks—are even now
under work of rehabilitation. Undaunted, those who were
completely wiped out by the fire have, with great fortitude
and determination, reestablished themselves and are again
doing business, in most cases, in modern well-built, and ef
ficiently equipped stores.
The period of progress in Nome has been ever toward
advancement during the past year. Business conditions have
been better than of recent years. And, as if to repay for the
terrible damage done September 17 last year, this summer
has been one of the most promising for mining in many
years. Water—the crying need of the miner has been plen
tiful this year and at no time has it been so short that opera
tions have had to be curtailed.
The outlook for the Nome section this fall is far in the
lead of a year ago. Better mining, better business, with the
resulting benefit to Nome is not just a dream or a phrase—
around the corner— it is clearly indicated in the conditions
in Nome itself.
Two days before the fire last year Nome had already
recognized the lift that both business and living conditions
had experienced. Nome was preparing for a busy winter and
an even great season of mining in 1935. But—Nome exper
ienced a fire which set it back in its march to increased pro
sperity, and a new sphere of life.
Looking at the conditions as they are today—we have
every optimism that Nome is firmly established on the road
to permanent recovery. It is no haphazard judgment which
says that with the disasters of a fire behind us, we look for
ward with greater anticipation than ever before to the mar
ch of recovery and the advancement of all lines of human
work and endeavor in this section.
We have one advantage as a city—our people, business
es, churches, organizations of all kinds have weathered a
severe blow but it has not destroyed the brighlty kindled
flame of Pioneering—an instinct of those who have made
their way on the shores of Bering Sea at Nome. As a slo
gan for Nome we suggest to our people—“Look Forward;
Move Forward, and We are Sure to Gain That Success,
To Which We are Rightly Entitled!”

The North Star left Wainwright
yesterday September 4th, for Point
Lay, to discharge cargo for the U.
S. Government school. She reports
that in Point Barrow, the natives
had a very successful walrus seas

as both places were in need of meat
for the winter.
The general health of the Wain
