Telephone Service
To Be Ready Soon
Yesterday more than a dozen
poles for lighting and telephones
wiring were put into position in the
morning, along Front Street, on the
North side, by the Northern Light
and Power Co.
O. S. Weaver, manager, stated yes
terday that, according to the way
the work was progressing at pres
ent, about one week or ten days
would be all that would be- required
before the commercial telephone
system is again in Operation. Con
trary to rumors that there would
be no telephone service this winter,
he stated that his crew is at pres
ent devoting its time exclusively to
installing the telephone system,
which should be ready within the
time stated.
Rainy Weather Is
Holding Planes
Nice, spring weather! Real nice
for airplane travel; don’t you think
so? Just mention how nice it is to
any pilot or airplane concern in
Nome today and he will be a raving
maniac trying to get at you.
Three airplane companies have
flights scheduled out of Nome for
Fairbanks as soon as weather per
mits. As if this weather was not
enough to have to fight, a regular
spring thaw with rain and high
winds had to come along and now
all their skii landing fields are un
der a foot or more of water.
In addition to that the regular
mail service coming in by plane
was halted on account of the thaw
and no landing fields and that plane
is held up at Nulato.
Pilot Frank Whaley arrived from
Candle yesterday. He looked all
over the country for a suitable land
ing place for skiis and couldn’t find
one. Both Snake and Nome rivers
are overflowing, so he proceeded to
Safety, where he was forced to re
main last night with the ice in the
lagoon breaking up there.
Trouble never seems to affect the
airplanes singly or in small doses.
It either comes with a bang and lots
of it, or it doesn’t come at all. The
Northern Air Transport has a plane
scheduled out of Nome for Fair
banks if and when the weather im
proves and there is some place to
take off from. The Roust Airways
also has a plane scheduled for Fair
banks under the same conditions,
as well as the Mirow Air - Service.
All together have been waiting for
an opportunity to take off from
Nome. Large snow falls in other
sections of Alaska make it impera
tive that skiis be used on the land
ing gear in place of wheels, so they
are still waiting “impatiently” here
for a chance to get into the air.
