WHY NOT THE INDEPENDENT SETTLER?
The government ships in a herd of milk cows and
hogs to the Palmer colony to be divided among sett
lers.
Why not do likewise by the independent settler who
is laboring under a great handicap for the lack of these
vital necessities to mixed farming and a family?
Livestock could be sold on the installment plan,
plus interest on deferred payments and the govern
ment would not only be reimbursed but derive revenue
from the plan.
This is a matter for the Territorial Legislature. It
might ask the governor why only outsiders are favored.
Or it might introduce it by providing funds for bring
ing in the livestock—Seward Gateway.
Total Assessment
City Of Nome
Is $1,199,170.00
The total assessments on real
and personal property in the city
of Nome, as fixed by city assessor
M. J. Walsh, and raised in a few
places by the Board of Equaliza
tion, as it stands today, for the
year 1936, is $1,199,170.
Comparison with last year’s as
sessment which was $1,139,150,
showed an increase in assess
ments of $60,020,or a net increase
in. -taxes to acccufi to the city of
$1200.40.
The total taxes to be received
by the city based on the assess
ment for 1936 will be $23,983.40
as compared with $22,783 for the
previous year. In addition to this
sources of revenue, some returns
are received in the way of fed
eral tonnage, and license taxes,
and this is to support the munici
pal activities and functions for
the year.
Somewhat different expenses
are to be handled this year than
in previous years. Additional
costs are necessary to maintain
the new school building. Pay
ments on principal and of inter
est must be made on the PWA
loan and grant contract of the
city which is bonded for $70,000.
1 Other expenses have also increa
- sed above what they were in for
mer years, so that the slight in
creases in taxes received will
barely be sufficient to see the city
through, it was stated by city of
ficials.
During the past year consider
able money was spent on drains
and street repairs throughout the
city, providing quite a drain on
the municipal treasury, which is
not expected next year.

Nome, Alaska, Dec. 18, 1988.
A good cheering section is a
tonic to any team, and good yell
leaders are an essential part of it.
Tryouts for yell leaders were
held during the past two weeks,
and Virginia Calkins and Audrey
Dunham wrere chosen to hold
down the position. They have
been practicing their yells, and
judging from Wednesday night’s
performance are more than equal1
to their appointed duties.
The regular monthly meeting of!
the Student Body was called to J
order by President Tom Martin
on Dec. 11 at 2:45. Cheer lead- j
ers were elected, and the price of [
Student tickets for athletics dis
cussed. After a lengthy discus- j
sion the students agreed to form j
a cheering section, taking over ai
part of the balcony, and requir
ing all high school pupils to sit
there. Names were drawn for
an exchange of Christmas gifts.
Since there was no more business
the meeting adjourned.

The Manual Training Class is
making scenery for the Christ
mas Program. The boys are go
ing to put supports under the
seats in the third and fourth !
grade room.
The Homemaking Classes ice
cream sale Wednesday night was
a success and the money taken
in will be used to buy supplies for
the cooking department. The
homemade ice cream was greatly
enjoyed by the crowd and the
girls hope to offer similar service
at other games. The class has
purchased a two gallon freezer
and hope to include good ice
cream in their list of accomplish
ments. Work on the Christmas
stockings is progressing apace
under the supervision of Mrs.
Glavinovich.
High School-Federal Huskies,
after a bad first inning, settled
down and came from behind to
win their half of the benefit dou
ble-header from the Alaskans.
Dick Lee pitched the first three
innings but was removed in the
4th to give the regular pitcher,
Martin Willoya, a chance for a
workout. Score was 16 to 5 in
favor of the Huskies.
On the afternoon of the 23rd
the public will be treated to a
colossal spectacle as two blood
thirsty teams, captained by Ben
Mann and Bud Slack meet in fer
ocious combat in a game of touch
football. Ben Mann rallied his
j forces in the Science room for an
j extensive skull practice, while

Captain Slack laid out his stra
tegies in the gym. Lightening
sw.ft action, constantly alert of
fense and defense, and the coupl
ing of brains and brawn promise
a game well worth watching.
A fire drill Wednesday tested
out the efficiency of the recently
organized High School Fire Bri
gade. The blaze, a candle spott
ed in the balcony, was discovered
after some little search and ex
tinguished. Since the locating of
the fire proved difficult,Fire Chief
called a meeting and assigned
each boy a section of the build
ing to check on when an alarm is
turned in. By this method, the
fire should be located much more
quickly and the efficiency of the
department greatly increased. The
Brigade has seen to the installa
tion of hand extinguishers in the
Chemistry and Home Making
rooms.
GRADE NEWS
The first graders have been
very busy this week practicing
for the Christmas program and
planning their costumes. Their
room has a truly Christmas at
mosphere with its freizes of green
cut-paper, Christmas tree and
jolly Santa Claus.
In spite of the fact that the
second graders have been hard
at work practicing for the Christ
mas program they have found
time to make Christmas gifts for
their mothers (a project clothed
in deepest secrecy) and decorate
their room in holiday manner.
Their portraits of Santa Claus
are unique in that the old fellow
boasts whiskers and fur made of
absorbent cotton.
The third and fourth grades are
also working on the Christmas
program. Since most of the child
ren are in the Japanese doll
[dance, they plan to ornament
their costumes with Japanese
fans made of cardboard instead
j of bambo.but in all other respects
authentic copies of the genuine.
jThey are making spelling charts
| to boost up spelling grades.
