TIME TO CLEAN UP
Th - winter is over. Spring and summer are now at
hand. Now is the time to commence your spring clean
up. Remove the unsightly and unsanitary debris from
the presence of your property. Help clean up the city
end piv.;ent a clean and inviting look to the property
which you own. Make your property a credit to the
city of Nome and to yourself.
A program of cleanup is being instituted soon by
the Health and Relief Committee of the Nome City
Council. Assist them heartily in their efforts to clean up
the accumulation of debris following the past winter.
A NOME VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
One of th* most sensible suggestions to come from
the Nome City Council in a long time appeared in their
action last night of intentions of forming a Volunteer
Fire Department.
Their lire committee was in correspondence with
the Anchorage Volunteer Fire Department and receiv
ed a short summary of how the system is worked there,
one which seems would be very practical for Nome,
with possibly a few variations.
In the past Nome has had to rly largely on volun
teers in the fighting of fires—but, these volunteers were
not trained and received no remuneration from the
city. They did not have to be on hand, and it is doubt
ful if the Chief had really any control to speak of over
them, in just how the fire was to be handled. Judgment
of individuals seemed to be all that could be relied upon.
The present intention of forming an active Vol
unteer Department, complete in details of management
and control, compulsory attendance at fires and drills,
remuneration for services etc., is a long step forward in
perfecting in Nome a more efficient department.
We can expect further developments soon on the
formation of such a project—developments which ev
ery public-spirited citizen should be vitally interested
in—Forward for a Nome Volunteer Fire Department.

About Alaskans

Cordova has been particularly
fortunate so far in having been
pr std up by penniless transients
scouring the country for jobs. So
far there have been only a few
instances of men coming to the
town without enough funds to
move on again. There was only
me serious case, and that was
ecently, \v hen a jobless individ
ual got off the boat with but 20
cents in his pocket and visions of
go ng to work the same morning
on a $5 a day job.
If there is not a hall called in
the k lling nf wolverines, a short
age of timber growth will result
in some parts of Alaska. The way
Charles Goyne puts it is that the
wolverine is the natural enemy
of the porcupine, whose chief de
light is to dt - 1 the forest
growth by r Aging the trees. No
other creature but ihe wolverine
will prey on the porcupine, but
he does it without fear. Mr.
Goyne says he is going to call on
the game commission at Juneau
on his way to the States.
Martin Ostland, about 70, was
found dead in his home in Anch
orage recently by Deputy Mar
shal Frank Hoffman. Authorities
expressed the belief that Ostland
ended his own life. A 22-calibre
rifle was lying across Ostland’s
breast and there was one bullet
hole in the temple and one in the
mouth. Deceased operated Mar
tin’s Transfer and Wood Yard.
