OILED STREETS ARE
THE SOLUTION TO
DUST STORMS HERE
The experiment lately made by
the fire department in oiling a
stretch of Front Street in front
of the city hail, and in front of
the Wien Alaska Airlines office,
after undergoing tests of rain and
sun. appears to be the perfect
solution to "dust storms" raised
on the streets of Nome by the
traveling public in automotive
vehicles.
The city council at one of its j
early meetings discussed the pos
sibility of oiling the streets to
keep the dust down, and also as
an item to preserving the streets
and making for a harder and
more efficient thoroughfare, but
decided to wait on the probability
that the Alaska Road Commission
would receive a machine fcr the
oilir.g the landing field here.
Chief Laws of the Fire Depart
ment estimated yesterday :hat
three men could os! the entire
length of Front Street :n less
than a week
With a ingenuity and the
city truck. : s believed the job
ecu'.d be completed in. a shorter
time. Little doubt is held that
oiling the streets of Nome would
be a big .mprcvetr.ent. and a last
ing one at that, as little care is
needed after the original oiling
—just enough to insure that plac
es worn thin of oil, are promptly
reoiled, thus preserving the en
tire street.
It is particularly offensive in
the business section, with the
general public visiting the mer
cantile houses, to have a truck
go "booming" by raising a cloud
of dust which fills your eyes, nose
and ears, besides sifting into the
business houses, and laying a
layer of dust ever displayed ar
ticle for sale.
Attention at this time would
be advantageous and remove the
necessity of continually post per.
ing such action It is believed the
cost would not be prohibitive,
and the project itself would draw
wholehearted appreciation of the
residents.
$10.00 paid in advance will
give you the Nome Daily
Nugget for six months, A
saving of $2.00. Do it now !

Codfishing Off
Nome Attracts
Much Attention
(Continued From Page One)
found by this second expedition.
Many starfish which had not
beer, ordered, were brought up.
and a number of hocks were ear
ned away. Jack Anderson, sup
erintendent of the Lemen Com
merc.al Company, who has had
considerable exprier.ee fishing, is
very enthusiastic as to the poss
ibilities of this northern resource.
For many years it has beer,
known that crab, king saanon,
'halibut and codfish frequent our
waters, and inhabitants of this
section of Alaska have hoped for
a government survey. The Cham
ber of Commerce has been ener
getic in its efforts to secure such
a survey .After all this time a
start seems to have been made in
a small way to do something on
our own toward developing this
na'ural wealth lying so near at
hand, and it is predicted by those
of vision that several small boats
will be leaving Nome harbor for
the fishing banks in a few days.

It takes no particular gift of im
agination to see what a local fish
ing industry could mean to the
community here and now, dis
regarding the larger commercial
aspects of the future. It is not too
much to say that one or two lit
tle boats could easily make a liv
ing off the Nome market alone.
A large crowd was at the re
vetment last evening to check up
on the Lucile upon her return at
six o'clock. It has always been
assumed that our citizens were
gold-mined and reindeer-minded,
but it now turns out that really
they are fish-minded at heart.
The Lucile's catch was speed
ily distributed among friends of
the crew, and tonight there will
no doubt be many codfish ban
quets in town. Those who have al
ready tasted them say that the
fish of these cold waters have a
firm flesh and axe the equal of
those caught elsewhere in the
world. AH Nome is vitally inter
ested ih seeing an industry de
veloped of this wealth lying at
our doors.
