QUINTUPLET FAME FOR NOME
NOME—that northern city fam
ed for its strange adventures and
booklike happenings, has added
another triumphant page in its
history for world wide attention.
Quintuplets have been born be
fore but Nome claims the honor
of such a happening on New
Year’s Day.
The mother and children are
reported doing nicely although
the father is slightly hysterical.
He has busted all buttons off his
vest in receiving congratulations
from far and wide. Trixie Gra
ham is the beaming mother and
Snuggie Whaley, the father, is
very busy passing out the dog
biscuits with a flourishing hand.
The proud father, Snuggie
Whaley, is undoubtedly Al-a&ka’s
most famous flying dog, having
flown with his beloved master,
pilot FrankWhaley^close to 92,000
miles, mostly in Alaskan terri
tory. This includes trips to far
points such as Point Barrow, Si
beria. and many numerous cross
ings of the Arctic Circle with the
mercury as low as 55 below zero.
He is very ‘‘airplane consoious"
and can spot a nervous passen
ger instantly. He then takes up
his duties as a profficient steward
and climbs in their laps to give
them something else to thing
about.
All the world loves a romance
and here indeed in a happy one.

Huskies his heart reeled at the
sight of dainty Trixie Graham,
owned by Mrs. W. R. Graham. It
was love at first sight. Howling
blizzards and icy coid did not
daunt him in his pursuit for such
a fair maiden. Shy little Trixie,
a toy spaniel, could not, resist
the high pedigreed wire-haired
terrior Snuggie. So they were
happily married and now have
brought fame to Nome.
Telegrams from the outside ex
tend.ng congratulations have
been received from such outstand
ing citizens as “Mr. and Mrs.
Mickey Mouse, Marpo Harx, Tar
zan of the Apes, and King Kong”.'
The community is anxiously'
waiting to have a good look at
the happy family and extend fur
ther congratulations.
