of the details to follow: “We
who support this new deal are do
ing so because it is a square deal
and because It is essential to the
preservation of security and hupp

received at leas' a partial a ns wet

i Secondly, there is the type of
individual who demands some
message to the people of the Unit

he calls confidence.

but remember the pleas made to

of so-called big business men all

PROMOTING ENTERTAINMENT
I OR ARCTIC CRUISE
At a meeting held yesterday by
(tie' entertainment committee of
tlie Northwestern Alaska Chamber
of Commerce, attended by numer
ous Individuals representing var
ious civic bodies, plans for the
entertainment and enlightenment
of the members of the Alaska
Une Arctic Cruise were discuss
ed.
Ihr. Rex F. Swart*. Mayor of
Nome, as chairman of the Arctic
Cruise Committee appointed sev
eral- eub-committeCs to handle
various phases of the program. It
was decided to, present the tour
ists with a full and complete Es
kimo program, including oogruk
blanket tossing, Eskimo wrestl
ing, kyak racing and overturn
ing, and various other Eskimo
sport*, including high kicking,
oomtak racing and Eskimo danc
ing.
Another feature of the program
proposed includes a visit to the
.gold mining dredges (north of
Nome about three miles, operated
by the Hamon Consolidated Gold
Fields. A close inspection of
these dredges is being sought.
Following a loop-tour around the
district, the tourists, according to
the present plans are to he brot
hack to Nope, where they may ac
quaint themselves with the busi
ness houses and various other act
ivities of the city.
It is planned to establish sev
eral headquarters in town where
the tourists may gather either to
rest or get together and plun any
activities which they have in
mind. Such places suggested
would include the Pioneer Igloo
No. 1., the Arctic Brotherhood
Camp Nome No. 9, and the Log
Cabin Horae of the Chamber of
Commerce.
In the evening, according the
existing suggestions and plans, it
was agreed to have the Eskimos
present the celebrated Wolf Dance
a dance symbolic of their lives
before the white man came to
this Territory. Following the Es
kimo dancing a big, public dance
is being arranged for, to which
the entire publLc Is invited free.
With these varied and interest
ing features, It is hoped to round
lout a full day ef entertainment
of fun, frolic and interest. It
Is understood that the S. S. Vic
toria will remain in port only
about thirty hours northbound.
This will allow the members of
the Arctic Cruise an opportunity
to see Nome ' and its ceiebratd
gold mining country, besides tie
coming familiar with our noted
hospitality. Publicity in connect
lion with the Arctic Cruise of tho
Alaska Lne steamer Victoria, it is
reported, was handted through peo
pie who have a fairly complete
conception of the type of coun
try Jnto which the steamer will
cruise. It, was reported that early
in April over three thousand que
ries had been received by the Al
aska Steamship Co. regarding this .
"trip. It is not definitely known at
this time, but according to re
ports it is believed that the Arc
tic CruiBc may become an estab
lished feature of the Bteamship
run to Northwestern Alaska,® of
course stopping at Nome both
north and southbound each trip.
We hope thht this feature will be
come a certainty, as the more peo
ple who visit and see this coun
try, the more will realize what
we have to offer In the way of
natural and economic resources.
It is especialy desired by the
Chamber, of Commerce to obtain .
the full support of every bualness
