EFFECT NORTHERN SECTION'S
JU T NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
The strike now on along the
entire Pacific Coast, with the long
shoremen seems well to be pro
long' (1 for some time. No inune
diate alarm is being felt here, al
, thorn;h the seriousness of the sit
uation cannot very well he over
looked.
The S. S. Baldwin of the Arctic
Transport Co., and the stealings
Victoria and lierblay of the Al
aska Line have already been held
up and prevented from sailing < u
schedule. Strenuous efforts wer ‘
mad- on every hand during the
past two weeks to influence the
longshoremen in loading these
vessels and permit them to bring
the provisions which Nome and
northwestern Alaska is in such
need of. Evidently all efforts
have failed for Friday their un
ion amuounced they did not in
tend to make any more excep
tions for boats sailing for Alaska.
They claim there is no emerg
ency in Alaska. We differ Quite
a bit. It is absolutely necessary
/ that ships <»ootj ^.dispatched to
— - M - -
Nome and this section. Several
lines of .food stuffs are very near
ly depleted. At present there
are very few eggs in Nome. En
ough canned milk remains to last
for sev'eral weeks. Other lines,,
such as meats, and canned vege
tables are' slowly hut surely going
down. As a matter of fact. Nome
which has been living for the past
eight months on the stock of food
shipped in last fall, must have pro
visions, and soon.
No alarm, of starvation start's
us in. the face but just the same
we should continue doing every
thing possible to get the Alaska
rh’ps released.
Another angle which the strike
.1 rituts to our attention is: That
if the vessels are delayed too long
the short mining season during
which the miners must make their
grub stakes, will soon be over and
fall will be setting in. Then
again, with several hundred oper
ators and others ready to come in
from the states ad open up their
properties, it is going to cripple
their operations considerably, to
have to wait in Seattle until the
season in nearly half over before
being able to get into the country.

All of these things also affect
Other parts of Alaska. Partic
ularly is the fishing industry, and
the resultant source of revenue
to the Territory, s to suf
fer. In many ways the longshore
men's strike Is going to affect the
new deal in Alaska. With gold at
%
its high point now, many miners
would like to get out into the hills
and open up claims and property
4
which under the^pld price would
not have paid them to work.
Giving the matter considerable
y.
attention and thought it is believed
that strong agencies are now at
work attempiting to gain the re
lease of the Alaska shippers. Es
jpeoialy is the belief strengthened
iby the fact that certain negotia
tions are under way to sign up the
'^individual shippers as one meant^
j of gaining the desired relief.

WHAT A ROUT THE FAIR
THIS SUMMER?
—
r nsidering all details of the
| past several fairs hold in Nome
j for Northwestern Alaska products,
) it behooves the citizens, of Nome
| and of the Second Division to get
j busy and prepare for the one. sche
j doled for this summer.
The fair was originally sehed
j uled for this spring, hut due t.)
unforseen circumstances it was
postponed until August. The Al
aska Steamship Company tjien atr
nounced it was slating an Arctic
criuse to take place in August: a
cruise which would last about
twenty-seveh day», from the tims
the Victoria left Seattle until Its
return.
It 1* the plan'for the S. S: Vic
toria to call at Nome north-<boun 1
on her way to the Arctic and al
low the passengers and tourists
an opportunity to come ashore at
this famous gold site. The vessel ]
Is then to proceed north into th"!
"4 , I
Arctic and along the Siberian
coast as far as safety advises.
This feature has been added t j
the regular schedule - to afford
sight seers the opportunity of see
ing the polar bear, w'alrus and
seal. Tile vessel will then put
bnck to Kotzebue and thence thru
Bering Straits to NoniP. before
proceeding south to -Seattle.
With I his itinerary announced, it
seems to us that the Northwestern
Alaska Fair Association should get
together and announce their pub
licity campaign and advise all M
the people in the surrounding sec
tions of their plans. We believe
a very creditable fair can be given
during ilie summer time. We will
have 'the chance to show the tour
ists and .passengers enroute north,
the products of this great north
land of ours. It is believed that
the Fair board has been working
on this program for some time
past but the time is drawing near
when arrangements should be
completed and plans announced
so as to inform everyone when and
hoc.- the fair Wit. be given.
