Celebration Nome
Included in today’s issue is a
letter from G. R. Jackson, presi
dent of the Miners 6c Merchants
Bank of Alaska and also of the
Nome Chamber of Commerce,
telling of the purchase by him of
a large supply of fireworks dis
play which he has arranged to be
set off December 23rd following
the program for the Community
Xmas Tree celebration.
During the first year or two of
this annual celebration, the com
mittee used to arrange for the
purchase of this beautiful display
at this season of the year, but
later dropped it.
This year Mr. Jackson, has vol
untarily gone to the expense of
providing the display, even tho
he will not be here to see it, as
he expects to spend the holidays
with his family in Seattle, leav
ing Nome by plane Thursday, to
morrow, weather permitting.
The general Xmas celebration
will be considerably augmented
by this beautiful feature of the
program, which should attract
people even from the outlying
sections.
In view of the interest being
taken to put on the greatest cele
bration that Nome has seen in
many years, it can safely be pre
dicted that not a person in town
