NEWS ITEMS
The city council meeting called
for regular session last night.was
i postponed again, due to only two
council men being present. The
remaining two in town did not
appear. Considerable business,
bills and other affairs of munici
1 pal importance, were therefore
held up.

dentist, who arrived on the last

' ordered by the City Council for
the Fire Department, which was
received on the last boat, was
delivered to the fire station yes
terday and installed alongside
: the motor truck.
What plans for the winter rig
are being perfected is unknown
at this time. It was understood
that the old horse sled apparatus
would be hooked up to the trac
tor, but that is not definitely
known now.
To celebrate November Uth,
the anniversary of the Signing
of the Armistice, ending the Wor
; Id War, the Nevada is staging a
free dance, no admission charge,
tomorrow evening, Wednesday,
November 10th.
Orchestra music will furnish

The meeting to discuss athfletics
for the winter season met last
evening with L. E. Rynning as
chairman and took up the ques
tion of an indoor baseball league,
also a basketball series.
Various persons present offered
to represent several tentative
i teams and the chair appointed
them to contact players and as
certain how many would turn out
and wheither sufficient strength
I could be marshalled for competi
| tive teams.
Teams mentioned included Al
askans, Commercials, Federate,
Volunteer Fire Dept., and Ham
i mon. While it seemed advisable
to limit the league to four teams
it was a question whether several
of the units could be organized.
! In any event, it was believed that

four good, strong teams could be
placed in the field.
Under discussion of basketball,
the subject of perfecting an ex
ceptionally strong team was dis
cussed with the idea in mind of
sending it over to Fairbanks to
the Ice Carnival next spring.
Meanwhile, basketball players ex
pect to practice among themsel
ves and get in shape for a series
later on during the winter.
Customary in the past, has been
the playing of a Benefit Game for
the Community Xmas Tree Cele
bration. and this subject was also
discussed, with the result that
members present were to organize
sufficient numbers and be prepar
ed to report next Monday night
at the same time*. Practice for
such a game, it was said, could
be started in a couple of weeks.
All-around athletics came in
for discussion and plans will un
doubtedly be made later on.
Severe Storm j
Strikes Nome: j
May Continue!
With a howling wind out of the
Southeast this morning; Bering
Sea picked up Us heels and com |
menced hammering arway at the;
beach fronting Nome.
All day the intensity of the
storm has increased, until the
waves, rolling higher and high- j
ear, have even topped the jetties
and revetments in Snake River, |
and are approaching the individ-j
ual bulkheads on the rear of
business houses along Front St.
Meanwhile the wind has brot
snow, sleet and rain, varying at
times throughout the day.
The general softening of the
weather, disappearance of snow
and ice, with the temperature
above the freezing mark, has
given new life to the three big
dredges digging steadily away
for more gold. The dredges are
still being operated, under the
Nome Dept, of the U. S. S. R. &
M. Co., and are expected to go
on digging for some time yet.
As ever, the danger bag storms
cutting into the foundations of
buildings on the south side of
Front Street, is ever present, and
continually brings to mind, that;
Nome should have a steel seawall
extending from the river jetties
to the oil dock at least.
I
An ineffectual effort was made
>ome time ago to propose such
a project, but since being turned
down at that time, nothing more
has been attempted.
These high storms occur every
year with resultant damage to
the city waterfront, and yet no
attempts are continued to con
struct a seawall. Such a project
shoufld be a principal item in
a program of development by both
the city and the Chamb r of Coni
meree.
Barometer Going Down
The U. S. Weather Bureau at
Nome reported late today that
th? barometric pressure had been
lowering all day, since early this
morning. Its rate of decrease has
