DISAGREEMENTS PROPOSED
ORDINANCES RESULTED AT
CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT
I
At the regular council meeting
last night, regular order of busi_
ness consisted of ordering pay.
ment of bills approved by the
finance c0mmittee, reading of the
minutes, and listening to com
munications.
Beyond that, tentative drafts of
proposed ordinances were read
and objections listened to frQm
both council-men and others pres
ent. The first proposed ordinance
to be read concerned sanitary Cpn
ditions of the delivery of water
in Nome. Messrs. Yenney, Berg
strom and Pangman,. represent,
ing three different concerns, spoke
and voiced their objections to cer
tain phases of the ordinance. It
was finally decided to allow the
Health Committee of the City tc
meet with the respective watei
vendors, draft a proposed ordinar
ce which would more suitably fil
the conditions, and then present
their findings to the council at e
later date.
Another ordinance dealing with
a general closing law for business
concerns in Nome, was read and
objections or comments requested
C. C. Tanner, attorney 5 repre.
sen-ting four business concerns ir
Nome, spoke at considerable
length concerning the evil to re
suit if such an ordinance were
passed, forcing store keepers tc
close at a certain specified time
pointing out that the matter, tc
begin with was purely an affaii
which should be handled by the
merohanls themselves, and shoulc
Inot involve the city council, oi
i the public at large.
After lengthy discussion prc
and con by originators and others
| it was finally admitted by variou:
eouneilmen who at first though
well of the proposed ordinance
that it was entirely out of plac<
for the council, to step in at this
time and attempt to dictate tc
certain cLasses of business men ii
Nome, what time they shouk
close.
The council discussing recen
editorials in the Daily N'.igge
concerning a suggested Fire Pre
< vention Campaign^ took up thi
subject before adjournment. Thei
at first, could see no apparen
reason for establishing a cam,
paign, voicing the opinion that i
was the Chief of Police’s duty tc
take care of this feature.
However, some discussion en.
sued which resulted in a decision
>
that the time from November 10
to November 20th would be set

The crux of the entire matter
was reported as being to make re_
sidents of Nome fire conscious,

ards as possible at this time, such
i a result evidencing the keen am.

Other minor subjects were dis-1

i journed.
“Strip Fishing”
Is Praised By A
Noted Author
(Continued From Page One)
which she later depicted in books.
But one of the biggest thrills
Alaska ever gave her came this
summer with the aid of a tin can
and an old sock.
The author and her husband,
Larry O’Connor^ also a writer,
have been in Seattle on their
■ way to their California home af_
ter two months in the North.
sne iries Mrip Fishing
Sitting on her bed in her room
at the New Washington Hotel,
1 she talked of “strip fishing”, a
new Alaskan sport, and the way
' it felt to get a twenty-pound sal
| mon on her hook when she went
i fishing near Juneau.
, > “It’s nothing like strip poker”,
; siie said, laughing. “It’s some.
; thing like trolling for salmon but
, you fish from an anchored boat.
■ The swift tide that runs near Jun
; eau gives your lure—a herring—
i all the movement you’d get from
i a moving boat in quiet water.
I “You take the tin can and pull
1 the sock over it, and use that for
; a reel. The can with your line
t wrapped around it lies on the
■ deck, and rest of the line runs
; through eyes on your pole. You
’ | cast out into the swift tide, and
;; then “strip” the line back in by
. hand. The salmon hit like a
, speedboat and some of them leap
out of the water five or six feet
| when you play them.
New Story is Coming
I Miss Willoughby, author of
“Where the Sun Swings North”,
| “Rocking Moon”, “The Trail
Eater” and many other stories of
Alaska, spent six weeks in Jun
eau and two more at the Mata_
nuska colony gathering material
for a new novel which will have
for its background the modern
i gold mining industry of the Nor
!th.
j Miss Willoughby went to San
i Francisco after the war, determin
| ed to write about the North.
When newspapers refused her a
job she began work on a novel.
After her money ran out she
iwent to work as a secretary to
Frederick O’Brien, whose South
Sea stories were at the height
of their popularity.
After eighteen months of this
she wrote a note to Rockwell
Kent, telling him much his illus
trated Alaska book ‘Wilderness”
meant to her.
Kent showed the note to a
publisher. The publisher wrote
to Miss Willoughby. The novel
which she had begun became
“Where the Sun Swings North”
and her career was started.
With her husband, she left Seat
tie recently for San Francisco.
