First News Letter Received From

(By The Gold-Dust Twins)
Teller, Alaska, Nov. 21st.
The evening of Nov. 17th found
us all at the home of Miss Vol
mer’s. We enjoyed first a game
of radio pinoche; then the daven
port was pushed back, the carpet
rolled up, and dancing engaged
in. To finish the good time, we
had Alaska’s famous dish, ice
cream with cake.
The bay is now frozen over, so
the sport of tom.codding is being
tried by all. Dog team travel
has also started. Mr. Ershine
Baker took Mrs. Peterson to Ig
loo, returning the evening of the
20th. They report the trail in
good condition, except for a few
bare spots. Miss Ethel Marx al.
so drove down to spend Thanks
giving in Teller.
The first winter mail was taken
to all points by plane. Mail car.
rier Levan has made over his
mail sled and will soon be leaving
here for Nome.
A new arrival in Teller is tiny
Christine Blatchford.
Miss Leak, the government
nurse, has been thru here caring
for the sick and examining school
children. Due to an epidemic of
tonsilitis and earache, school has
been closed for four days.
Riding around in a Dodge
truck is quite popular, especially
since a new heater and defroster
have been installed. We have
the choice of driving around and
waking up the neighbors, going
out the Teller-Bluestone Road, or
skooting around the lagoon. As
the bay is pretty well frozen over
we soon can drive over that—
just one more place to go.
We are anxious to see how
Johnny Reed’s ‘Snow-Bird’ turns
i out. If it’s O.K. you‘11 soon be
seeing a lot of Teller people in
Nome.
_
The home of Ralph and Mild,
red Ulrichsen is about completed.
Ralph is now busy pounding
boards and nails together to make
a shed and Mildred and Helen
have been throwing paint at the
new cupboards.
.
The Tweet boys have been busy
hauling freight out to Gold Run.
They drove clear out to the camp
with their truck, and report the
trail in fine condition—in places!
Thursday niglTt found the pino
chle fiends at the Edgar Tweet's.
So we wouldn’t get too tired of
the game, we danced, popped
corn and made divinity in be.
tween acts. As Edgar just loves
divinity, he tried to monopolize
a plate full by sitting on it.
Thursday night, the 20th the
pinochle fiends met at Miss Helen
Baldwin’s. After two tables of i
i
pinochle were played, the boys;
made ice cream. The phonograph |
was wound up, and dancing en-!
joyed for a few hours. Refresh,
ments were served, and for some
mysterious reasons, little pigs
appeared in the ice cream.
A ‘kid’ party is on for Saturday
night. So look out for the kid
dies!
If you like lots of excitement
and can get along with little
sleep, come to Teller.

Thanksgiving Over
With the passing of the annual
ThanksgivingDay celebration and
the consuming of hundreds of
pounds of turkey and other good
things to eat, Nomeites went
back to their regular occupations
; today with a real overstuffed
feeling.
Signs of depression in Nome are
about as scarce as snowballs in
the proverbial hot cellar. Ac.
i cording to the way Nomeites
planned their Thanksgiving din.
ners, nearly everyone had plenty
to eat, and more besides.
Prosperity, that around.the.cor

Though the maritime strike on
the coast is affecting other parts
of Alaska, some in a very serious
way, Nome has no worry about
receiving turkeys or holiday sup.
plies, or even equipment and ma_
chinery for mining. All of Nome’s
supplies came in on the last boat
in October, as well as everything
needed by other towns and min.
ing centers in different parts of
the peninsula. So we’re off to
another month and then the
Christmas and New Year ho'J.
