Chris Neibuhr, veteran
Nome prospector and min
er, who has been operating
on Rock Creek this winter,
was a visitor to Nome this
week. He is in town on
business and to take out
more supplies.
A letter dated March 6th,
Seattle, Washington, from
O. D. Cochran, received in
Nome on the Thursday
mail plane, among other
things stated he expected
to leave Seattle for Nome,
March 13th and would pro
bably come straight thru.
Mr. Cochran is a candidate
for the senatorial nomina
tion to the Alaska Legisla
ture on the Democratic
Ticket
A telegram was received
by Mr. and Mrs. J. J. O’
Leary that a baby had been
born at Spokane to Mr. and
Mrs. Gus O’Leary, Tuesday
March 17th. The wire did
not state whether it was a
boy or girl. Mr. and Mrs.
Gus O’Leary are well
known Nomeites and their
many friends are extend
ing congratulations. Mr.
O’Leary is an employee of
the Hammon Company in
the power house. Mrs. O’
Leary left by boat for the
states last fall, and Gus O'
Leary left by plane some
time ago.
It was announced today
that there would be a spec
ial challenge basketball
game next Thursday night
at the Native Gym be
tween an All-Star team and
the Nome team, the win
ners of the current series.
At first it was believed
there would be no further
games, but after negotia
tions had been concluded
yesterday it was agreed to
have one more game. It is
understood that the All
Star team will be compos
ed of players from the Al
askans and the Nome High
School. It is presumed the
Nome team will be the
same as appeared during
the series.
At a meeting of the
Board of Directors of the
Nome Kennel Club today,
discussion occurred regard
ing any possibilities for a
special speed race with sev
eral hundred dollars in
cash money for prizes.
After several viewpoints
had been heard, a vote of
the board decided that for
this year, all activities
would cease, and what re
maining funds existed in
the treasury would be held
over until next year, when
an extensive program of
dog races would be pro
moted.
It was declared that the
lack of a suitable auditor
ium or hall seriously ham
pered any effort at raising
sufficient funds to put on
the talked-of speed race
this year.
Secretary McDougall de
clared he would have a fin
ancial statement ready for
publication Monday. He
stated that anyone having
bills against the Kennel
Club, to please file them
with him immediately. It
was his belief that there
would be more than a hun
dred dollars to carry over
until next year, when with
the advantages of a large,
new auditorium in the new
school building to be built
here, a large purse could
be raised to further finance
dog racing in Nome.
