Man Who Built
First Nome Now
Church Builder
_
N. J. NICHOLSON HAS BEEN
BUILDING IN ALASKA FOR
PAST 37 YEARS
No one could have been more in
terested and stirred by the burning
of Nome than N J Nicholson, who
| was at Fort Yukon when the fire
j occurred and listened to the story
; over the radio, because it was he
' who built most of the town laid in
j ashes by the flames.
He came to Seward Sunday nite,
! and departed for Seattle on the SS
Victoria. While here he was guest
at the Van Gilder hotel, says the Se
ward Gateway of Feb 21st .
VETERAN BUILDER
He has been building in Alaska
for 37 years, and for the past 12
i years has worked about exclusively
for the Episcopalian Mission under
the guidance of Bishop P T Rowe.
The other day he checked up on
some of his work, recounting again
the story of the moving of the log
built hospital at Fort Yukon.
This building is a story and a half
high, and in those days measured
32 by 120 feet. It was desired to re
locate the building a quarter of a
mile back from the river, and Nich
olson undertook the job. The mov
ing job was accomplished, and the
contractor recalls with pardonable
pride that business was carried on
uninterruptedly during the process.
There was only the time that the
workmen laid down their tools for
two hours while the surgery was
engaged in a leg operation.
ADDS TO HOSPITAL
Last summer the builder added to
the hospital an operating room 12
by 16, a six-bed white ward and an
additional Indian ward of six beds.
Also, he bulit living quarters for the
nurses.
The institution is now a 32-bed
hospital, with a staff of four nurs
es. Dr H Burke is in charge . Mrs
Burke conducts an adjoining mis
sion that now provides for 28 child
ren, most of them being convales
cent from the hospital. They are in
ages from one to four years, and as
they reach school age attend the
Bureau of Indian Affairs school.
In addition to his mission work,
Nicholson was employed during part
of the season for the Territory in
building a new school room and liv
ing quarters for the Territorial
school He is returning now from
a seven-months' period on the Yu
kon.
MADE OWN LUMBER
Having been actively employed in
Alaska construction work since 1898
Nisholson has a lot of interesting
things to say about early day meth
ods along the Yukon.
For one th:ng he carried his own
sawmill about with him, rigging up
hi; '‘mill" v hil • the crew was out
cubing log . So when the timber
came out of the woods there was
the arbor and saw in place, con
nected up with a boat engine and
the manufacture of the finished art
icle began fast and furious.
RETURNING TO NOME
En route to the interior in the
spring, the veteran builder stopped
off at Wrangell and Sitka and did
improvement work for the churches
and vicarges.
He has some business that may
detain him for a time at Juneau on
the way to Seattle, and in the spring
there is a possibility of him going
to Nome, his early stamping ground
In those days he dabbled in mining
and at one time owned the richest
mine in the area, a fact that he was
not aware of until after it had pass
ed from his hands.
But he isn’t worrying about that
at all. He has his health and is
looking forward to many busy sea
sons to come which he expects to
spend building something in Alas
ka.
Just now he is looking forward to
a real rest, and for a short time
anyhow intends sitting at the lobby
window of the Hotel Frye in Seattle
and watch the world go by.
