Acknowledgement
The Nome Daily Nugget, which during the time since
September 17th, the date of the fire, has not published a
newspaper, wishes to acknowledge its respects to various
agencies who so kindly volunteered assistance, making it
possible for a mimeograph bulletin to-be issued during the
time when our plant was ordered and brought to Nome.
The mimeograph on which the bulletin was printed was
loaned for the purpose by the Nome Public School. Several
items and articles necessary for its operation were also bor
rowed during the time when almost everything in Nome
was at a premium.
Shortages of paper, ink, stensils, mimeograph paper, etc.,
were apparent from the first, but by going from place to
place enough supplies were gathered to continue editions
until the boats arrived at Nome after the fire.
The edition was known as the “FERA Bulletin”. The
Nome Committee of the Federal Emergency Relief Admini
stration a uthorized the expenditure fo funds to finance this
publciation, deeming it of such importance in the commun
ity during the time when almost all activities were paralyz
ed. Free distribution was affected from the date of the first
issue until yesterday. November 1st, the FERA Bulletin was
discontinued by the Committee and The Nome Daily Nugget
carried on the same practice of distribution free of charge
until the newspaper was in readiness. Due to the fact that
both newspaper plants of The Nugget were destroyed in the
fire, it would have been impossible to carry on any compre
hensible system of news distribution except in the manner
already described.
The Nome Nugget is now located in the Bering Native
Brotherhood building, through the courtesies of the Metho
dist Mission, the Brotherhood and the Rev. Norman McCay.1
We wish directly to acknowledge our efforts in this pub
lication to the citizens and business people of Nome who
have made is possible for a newspaper to be financed in
Nome this winter. The advertising columns of this paper
are the finest representation of the City of Nome. Today they
show a highly appreciated patronageof advertisements*,
which are a credit to this city.
With these statements of respect and acknowledgement
we offer this issue to you, and may we ever be able to place
in your hands the Nome Daily Nugget carrying the news
and business representations of the people of Nome.

NEWER AND GREATER NOME IS
EMERGING FROM CHAOS FIRE
(Cpntinued From Page One)
the open season of navigation, to carry on their lives and
work with greater energy and foresight than ever before.
With many of the personal tragedies still foremost in
many minds, the aspect of re-building progresses with
ever increasing force. The worries, and hardships, of the
first few weeks after the fire, are in many instances now oc
cupying the background, and the citizens of the city are
looking forward to their new places of business and their
new homes, with sparkling eyes and brighter spirits. Their
thoughts are directed toward the future in which Ndme will
occupy the center of the stage, because Nome is going to re
build and their lives are going to be spent in Nome helping
it rebuild and develop this section of Alaska. The general
tenure of thought at this time is not to come to Nome for
a few months or a year or two and make a few dollars and
then leave; it is quite the opposite. Residents are occupied
with the purpose of creating a livelihood and business, build
ing a home, and in the end, helping to develop the Second
Division and rebuild Nome on a greater plane than ever
before.
In connection with this work of rebuilding, accomodat
ing those who were destitute and unable to help themselv
es, the government has been of material assistance. The
Federal Emergency Relief Administration Nome Committee
appointed by Governor Troy, has been untiring in its efforts
toward the replanning and rehabilitating of Nome. Their
work appears today, as an actual result of progress made.
Of paramount importance to all of us, is the courageous
stand taken by the business people of Nome in carrying on
rebuilding this fall. The Nome Nugget wishes to congratu
late each and every business man in Nome. Instead of dis
playing competitive attitudes, all are grouped together so
that each will have a place to do business during the winter.
Some will not build until spring; others have started their
buildings this fall, some of which are nearing completion
now. Those who plan on building in the spring are doing
everything possible so that builders will have enough labor
ers to get their buildings ready before winter sets in.
All in all, Nome, the residents and citizens of the city,
instead of working entirely for themselves, have co-operat
ed and are together working for the erection of a bigger and
better Nome, which will be finer in every detail than ev
er before.
Here’s to Nome ! And may each and every citizen, resi
dent, business man and laborer, work to that not-too-distant
future, when Nome will again be solidly on its feet, carry
ing on the work in this section of Alaska and the world, pe
culiarly characteristic of Alaskan and pioneer.
