BRIEF STORM LEAVES
PLENTY SNOW IN THE
STREETS—FEW DRIFTS
i d . - , * *>• '
The snow storm and blizzard
which visited Nome yesterday left
in its wake considerable snow de
posited around the streets. At pres
ent it appears as if the storm had
spent itself but the overcast wea
ther still remains.
Despite the high wind and snow
last night the long distance tele
phone lines connecting Golovin,
Bluff, Spruce Creek, Solomon, White
Mountain, Council, Safety and Cape
Nome, with the exchange at Nome,
were not broken, and service is in
good condition all along the line.
In Nome approximately 80 tele
phones are again in operation foll
owing the fire. W hen the telephone
service was re-commenced in Dec
ember only about forty phones
were originally placed in operation
and now there are about twice as
many. This compares favorably
with the rceords of before the fire,
being about one-half the number at
that time.
Automobiles and trucks were tern
porarily out of commission this
morning due to the drifted snow in
the streets, but many suggestions
are being voiced that efforts be
made to have the streets levelled
and cleared of drifts, so that automo
bile traffic will again be possible.
The several airplane concerns hav
ing flights scheduled are still wait
ing for a break in the weather so
that planes npay be dispatched with
passengers and others allowed to
land.

FAIRBANKS PLANS BIG
IMPROVEMENTS AID OF
P W A FEDERAL FUNDS
Fairbanks has been allotted $50,
000 to erect a new City Hall and
Fire Department Building, to ex
tend the sewer system and to im
prove sidewalks. Mayor E. B. Col
lins is advised in a telegram he re
ceived from the Delegate in Con
gress Anthony J. Dimond. The al
lotment was made late yesterday,
says the Fairbanks News-Miner.
The message the Mayor received
from the delegate follows:
“Washington, D. C., December 13.
“Mayor E. B. Collins, Fairbanks.
“Advised that Public Works Ad
ministration has made allotment of
$50,000 for municipal public works
at Fairbanks in conformity with the
application therefor. Congratula
tions.
“Anthony J. Dimond, Delegate.”
The application specified that $30,
000 is to be expended for the City
Hall and Fire Department Building,
$10,000 for sewers and $10,000 for
sidewalks.
No repayments on principle or pay
ments of interest are required for
the first five years, and then in
stallments on principle and pay
ments of interest at the rate of 4
per cent per annum are to be made
annually for a period of 25 years,
at the end of which time the ob
ligation will be amortized.
“As soon as the money is placed to
the credit of the city ,” Mayor Col
lins said today, “we shall go ahead
with definite plans for the City Hall
and Fire Department Building, for
sewer extensions and for sidewalks
improvements. Materials for these
public works will be ordered as soon
as possible so erection of the City
Hall and Fire Department can be
started early in the spring.
“With the receipt of sewer sytem
supplies and if the Civil Works Ad
ministration makes an allotment to
take care of unemployed in Fair
banks this winter as was done last
winter, wortc on Sewer extensions
can be started shortly. Sewer sup
plies can be paid for out of Public
Works money and the labor can be
hired with Civil Works money. All
Civil Works allotments have to be
expended for labor, none can go for
supplies.
“In any event all the public im
provements- for which the $50,000
has been allotted, will be in process
of erection and installation as soon
as possible.
“The allottment of this $50,000 for
public works in the city encourages
me to believe that our application
for an outright grant of $50,000, not
to be repaid, for improvement to
Weeks Airfield will soon receive fa
vorable attention from the author
ities at Washington.”

New Oil Drill May
Revolutionize The
Big Drill Industry
(By The Associated Press)
BEAUMONT, Texas—A new coll
apsible drill bit, an invention calcul
ated to revolutionize the drilling in
dustry, was to be manufactured
here soon.
The bit, invented by L. P. Kinnear
and C. W. Kinnear, both practical
drillers, and two of the pioneer
drillers of the vast South American
oil fields, would be used in rotary
drilling. The tool was the result of
eight years’ work.
The outstanding features of the
new tool, according to the inventors
is in the ability of drillers to main
tain rotation of the drill pipe and
circulation of drilling fiued while
changing the bit. Any desired pres
sure may be held on the walls of the
well during this operation, the men
said.
This operation is accomplished by
a piston-like action in the pipe,
which is controlled by a valve at
the top of the hole.
