NOME WELCOMES “ARCTIC CRUISERS”
Nome hearitlv welcomes Captain A. W. Westerholm
of the S. S. Victoria, Alaska Line vessel, and its “Arctic
Cruisers”, bound for a voyage to East Cape, Siberia, the
Arctic Ocean, and Alaska ports.
With people from twenty different states and some
from Canada, represented on the Arctic Cruise. Nome
once more becomes a meeting place for influential and
world recognized personalities.
The Alaska Line, in inaugurating the “Arctic
Cruise” during the past couple years, has drawn inter
ested voyagers from all over the United States, Canada,
and other countries. The lure of seeing Uncle Sam’s
northern domains, and Soviet Russia’s outpost at East
Cape, Siberia, besides a thrilling cruise into the Arctic
Ocean, has proven worthwhile to many ‘Arctic Cruis
ers” in the past; and it is with this in mind, that Nome
extends its welcome for an enjoyable cruise.
May those aboard the Victoria enjoy their visit
at Nome, and find interesting its many points of histori
cal interest and modern exponents of present day civ
ilization.
Without a doubt Nome has received more recogni
tion the aghout the world, as a feverish gold camp, as
an important point on world airways, as an outfitting
base for Arctic expeditions which centered here during
the early days, and as the scene of the finest hospitality
in Alaska.

RETAIL DEALERS
All hard and distilled liquor, beer and wine in the Territory of
Alaska on June 30. 1937, must be stamped with the Territorial “Tax
Paid" stamps, thus showing the purchase of liquor before July 1,
1937. These stamps must be placed on all bottles of hard and dis
tilled liquors, also, on beer cases, cartons and kegs and on wine
cases, cartons and kegs. Stamps will be furnished free of cost to all
retail liquor dealers by the Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamp Col
lector in each community. On or after July 1, 19.37. all liquor im
mediately upon receipt by retail dealers shall he stamped with the
regular Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamps same to be purchased from
the Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamp Collector who has been ap
pointed in your community.
WHOLESALE DEALERS
Wholesalers in the Territory of Alaska on June 30, 1937, must
take inventory of their stock of all liquors on hand and must pay
the Territorial Treasurer at the rate of 5% of invoice price which
will then be stamped with "Tax Paid" stamps. These stamps, also,
will be furnished free of cost to all wholesale liquor dealers by the
Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamp Collector in each community.
For all hard and distilled liquor, beer and wine received on or after
July 1, 1937, by wholesalers in the Territory of Alaska, the regular
Strip Tax Stamps must be used in the following manner:. The
regular Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamps must be placed on each
case, carton and keg of beer, also, each case, carton, keg of wine.
In regards to hard and distilled liquor, where it is inconvenient to
open cases, an exception will be made for the convenience of whole
salers. Upon receipt of liquor, the stamps will be purchased in the
regular manner but may be delivered in person or by mail to retail
dealers for them to place upon the individual bottles.
It will be seen, from the above regulations, no hard and dis
tilled liquor, beer or wine may be sold in the Territory of Alaska
on or after July 1, 1937, without showing either the “Tax Paid”
stamps or the regular "Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamps.” In the,
larger incorporated towns, special agents have been appointed to
handle the sale of the tax stamps. In the outlying communities,
the U. S. Commissioners have been appointed to handle the sale of;
the tax stamps.
The above regulations have been made necessary in observing
Chapter 78, Session Laws of Alaska, 1937. Section 7 of this Chapter
in part reads as follows: "Every brewer, distiller, bottler, or!
! wholesaler selling intoxicating liquors In the Territory shall be re-;
quired to pay on all malt beverages (alcoholic content of one per
cent or more by volume), wines and hard or distilled liquors, the
following prescribed taxes:., malt beverages at the rate of five cents
, per gallon OR FRACTION THEREOF; wine, or any other liquors
of nineteen per cent of alcohol by volume or less, at the rate of
fifteen cents per gallon OR FRACTION THEREOF; any other liqu
ors having a content of more than nineteen per cent of alcohol by
volume shall pay at the rate of fifty cents per gallon. This tax is
to be paid to the Territorial Treasurer who will furnish Strip Tax
Stamps in the form prescribed by him to be attached to all liquor
containers or packages. These stamps are to be attached by the j
brewer, distiller, bottler, wholesaler or importer into whose hands
the liquor shall first come. The Treasurer of the Territory shall1
designate places of sale of Territorial Revenue Stamps in such a
way that they will be easily procurable by all license holders.”
