TIME FOR BONDING ELECTION
A special bond election by the City of Nome has been
called for Tuesday. July 16th, at which'time registered pro
perty owners whose names appear on the last previous as
sessment role will vote on the bonding of the city, in con
nection with the Public Works Administration loan and
grant to the city of Nome.
Todate less than one-half dozen qualified property own
ers have registered at the City Clerk’s office, and this does
not show the proper reaction to a civic matter of this im
portance.
It is the desire of city officials to put over the bonding
issue as wholehearted and overwhelmingly as possible so
as to present the support given the project by the property
owners of Nome, for the PWA loan and grant project.
The election will be a week from tomorrow and it be
hooves all those who are qualified to step in and register.
Public opinion and support are urgently requested by the
city authorities, so as to preclude any possible delays and
red tape in connection with our improvement to city func
tions, including streets, sidewalks, sewers, fire mains and
city hall.
The element of publicity and public attention is vital
to the people of Nome at this time and in order to put over
the PWA project the public should be appraised of the de
velopments in connection with the securing of the necessary
funds and arranging for the bonding of the city.
The city council meets this evening and undoubtedly
some generalized summary may be obtained of the status
of the negotiations.
Surgery Is Able
To Stop Much Of
Pain In Humans
(By The Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA, June — Hope
of reducing human suffering is held
out by the application of surgery to
nerves of pain. Possible opera
tions of such character were review
ed recently at a meeting in Phila
delphia of the American College of
Physicians.
Carry Sensation of Pain
Some fibres, which come in bun
dles, are nerves carrying the sen
sation of pain. Other fibres, which
are nerves, give the movement or
ders that the mind conceives.
By cutting the pain fibres in the
spinal cord, pain can be stopped in
the legs as far up as into the pelvis,
while touch and position nerve fib
I res remain unimpaired and move-.:
jments of the legs are not interfered
with. j
Movement Interfered With
By another operation the roots of
some nerves can be severed, but such
an operation is seldom resorted to
because, while it relieves pain, it
also interferes with movement.

Six Explorers Risk
Their Lives in Wilds
of Yukon Territory
Six Young Men Exploring In
Yukon Territory For Na
tional Geographic Soc.
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, July — Six Am
erican explorers are risking their
lives to fill the blank spaces of the
geography books in “the last utterly
unexplored region in North Amer
ica.”
The National Geographic Society
expedition under the leadership of
young Branford Washburn of Cam
bridge, Mass., now is established in
the angle of mountains in the south
western corner of Yukon Territory,
Canada. This region holds the high
est unsealed peaks on the North
American continent and the party
may climb some of these before it
returns.
Airplane Flights
Before leaving the outposts of civi
lization for the unknown mountain
region, Washburn and several other
members of the party made several
flights over the region by airplane.
They found three unrecorded gla
ciers and discovered that Hubbard
glacier was double its previously
recorded length.
"The number of unknown glaciers
and peaks which we have seen and
photographed on our first two flights
is almost inconceivable,” Washburn
wrote. "These mountains represent
the last stronghold of the Great Ice
Age on the North American contin
ent; and I believe that we are suc
cessfully obtaining a photographic
record of peaks and glaciers whose
immense size and number have nev
er been dreamed of by the early ex
plorers of the Yukon.”
Expedition Personnel
Beside Washburn, the expedition
consists of Robert H. Bates, Phila
delphia; Adams Carter, Boston, Har
vard University undergraduate stu
dent; Harkness Beardsley, Dart
mouth; Ome Daiber, Seattle, exper
ienced skier and mountain climber,
and Andy Taylor, native Alaskan
guide and snow expert who has trav
eled many of the Yukon Territory’s
little known trails.
After the ground mapping work is
completed and the days have be
come longer they will climb the
higher altitudes.
An airplane, which was invaluable
in doing the initial exploration work,
also was used to ferry a dog team
and camp supplies to the glacier base
camp.
