ed of ice and slush and was
in good order again.
Councilman Ed Seiden

tions, especially about the
capsizing of the fire sled
and deemed it necessary
that something be done im
mediately to put the Nome
fire department on a more
secure basis.
Councilman Alvin Polet

ed die appointment of a
regular patrolman, stating
that it was folly to jeopard
ise the fire department and
risk to"property in case of

tem of the chief of tire fire
department having to leave
the station to do police
work. The matter clicked
some discussion from those

that a committee bring in a
report at the next meeting
as to the advisability of
putting on a patrolman.
During the debate as to
the cause of the Fire sled
overturning it was suggest
ed by Chairman Hagen that
it might be advisable to put
“creepers” on the chemi
cal and hose truck to pre
vent it from tipping over
going around corners. But
Council man Seidenverg
stated that he believed the
department needed a new
driver of the team.

Marie Neibling
Former Nomeite
Dies Of Stroke
In a telegram to O. S.
Weaver from Ira D. Orton,
dated Seattle, March 9, it
's learned that Mrs. Marie
[ Meibling passed away fol
lowing a stroke of paralysis
Her funeral will take place
Wednesday at Arlington,
Washington.
Mrs. Neibling was one of
the most widely known
sourdough women of Alas
ka. She came to Nome dur
ing the gold stampede of
1900. Her husband was in
terested in and managed a
big corporation that con
structed three large build
ings on D street in 1900.
one of th*e buildings was
used as a post office and in
those days it was necessary
to stand in line with at least
100 to 200 people a quar
ter of a mile in length, to
await your opportunity to
get to the post office win
dow and ask “for your
mail.” John W. Wright
was postmaster of Nome in
those hectic days. There
was no planked streets and
'the horse teams that
brought the mail to the
post office were mired in
muck many times having
to be bodily pulled out by
another team.
Another building contain
ed the general store of the
commercial company which
sold everything from a pin
to an anchor. To the north
of the postoffice was anoth
er building which was
known as the sheet metal
works, with splendid equip
ment of machinery 'to han
dle all kinds of work neces
sary in those days, run by
ihe same company which
Mr. and Mrs. Neibling
were in charge of. In be
tween these twro big build
ngs was a cottage in which
the Neibling family lived.
And true to form. Mrs.
Neibling conducted a fam
ily eadng house.
Her cooking abilities be
came so well known that
later she opened a restau
rant known as Mrs. Neib
ling’s Cafe. Her dinners
were the best and people
from New York to Nome
and Arctic explorers, gov
ernment men of all bureaus
dined a't her tables. Roald
Amundsen and Vilhajamur
Steffannsen and other well
known Arctic explorers ex
changed greetings over
their cup off coffee and hot
cakes in the morning.
With the passing of Mrs.
Neibling, Nome has lost
'another well known and be
loved citizen. May she
rest in peace.
