BUILDING GOING ON IN NOME
REFLECTS SPIRIT PROGRESS
AND STAGE OF PROSPERITY
The Lomen Commercial Com
pany has under way the con
struction of a new warehouse
just west of their large ware
house on River Street. The new
building will be 60 by 100 feet,
together with the necessary land
ing platforms, one story in height
and covered with galvanized ir
on.
The foundation is already laid,
and the structure will be complet
ed in time to accomodate fall
shipments of freight. The Com
pany will be enabled to release
space in other warehouses to pro
vide cover for their wunter coal
supply, due on the last boats.
Construction on the warehouse
is not a contract job, says Alfred
J. Lomen, general manager of the
company, but is under the sup
ervision of their superintendent
J. I. Anderson, the work being
done by their own crew augment
ed by the necessary local labor.
Mr. Reed, who lately completed
work on the new Nome school
building, is assisting as foreman,
it was declared.
It is gratifying to see the build
ing program continue, and Nome
is fortunate in gaining this addi
tional warehouse space which
adds materially to her already
excellent lighterage facilities.
Elmer Anderson, Nome car
penter is constructing his own
residence, assisted by Art Peter
son, carpenter, near the corner
of Front and B Streets.
“Red" Smith, another local car
penter is completing work on
a home which he will occupy
this winter. It is located next to

Have Troubles
In California
(By The Associated Press!
SALINAS, California, Sept. 15,
—A milling crowd of five hun
dred men and women pickets
hurled kerosene into three truck
loads of lettuce and were driven
back by a tear gas shell fired by
a special policeman, beginning
first acts of violence in the strike
of about 3,200 lettuce shed work
ers.
Violence broke out as truck
loads of lettuce were driven in
to barricaded sheds, under arm
ed guards.
The cutting of lettuce by Fili
pino and Mexican workers, began
at five a.m. today with guards
standing nearby, protecting the
workers in the fields.
“What sort of a chap is Jack,
dear?”
"Well, when we were together,
last night, the lights went out,
and he spent the rest of the ev
ening repairing the fuse.”
“How much do you want to
fix this puncture?”
‘Three dollars.”
“Is that your flat-rate?”
