KAULE'H FRONTIER NIGHT
A SUCCESS
Last Saturday night, Feb. 10,
the Eagles held their annual
Frontier Night celebration at the
large * Eagle Hall. This event
carries more of early Nome’s front
ier charm than probably any other
event of the year. Inasmuch as
unique, thrill'*g, and fascinating
jgarnes of chance that are no long
ler in order, are played to limits
! unattainable in the early days by
the use of bogus money, This
money is used by all who attend,
both for food and drink served in-1
the old style, as well as for any
of the gambling n craps, roulette j
'blackjack, faro, shells, or other
card games.
One ■ thousand dollars in these
parly-day notes could be pdrchas
j (d for but one dollar, as the ad
mission price, and valuable priz
I
. es were distributed to those who
“Lady Luck’’ favored the most.
The first prize of the^ evening j
went to Floyd Frazier, who won J
his cho re of three first-grade fox j
furs, a white fox. The second I
prize was claimed by Miss Mar- I
garot Rowe, a beautiful red; and!
'the third prize went to Mrs. T.
Flrickson. Miss Evelyn Wallace
j won a season’s admission ticket
for a couple at all baseball games,
: and Nels Anderson likewise re
ceived a season’s ticket.
Probably the dancing was most
enjoyed by all as a group because
the Hill Billys played the most
appropriate music of the event.

TO THK VOTERS OF TH10
SI,COM) DIVISION::
i sill) earnestly .seek nft your
support for the nomination as
Representative on tk£ Democratic
ticket to the Alaska' Legislature
for the Second Division. I am
twenty-two year* of age, I am
spent the greatest portion of my
life in Nome, and have received
a large part of my education here.
I want this nomination, I want
to help my Division and my T *r
itory. What I lack in experience
will surely be made up in a con
■kcientous desire to do my best
for your interest.
Having been a resident of Alas
ka for such a length of time, T
have gained a knowledge and an
understanding of its needs, and I
will, at all times, heed the wishes
of niy fellow citizens as express
ed through their chamber of com
merce or other civic bodies. With
no hobbies with respect to legis
lation, I shall always be yours to
command.
I believe, howrever, that our ed
ucational institutions could be
greatly improved for the benefit
of both white and Eskimo. If the
same amount of money now being
spent by the Federal and Territ
orial governments were dispensed
under competent Territorial super
vision, both races would benefit
by enhanced educational facilities
without undue waste and over
head. Both white and Eskimo
schools could be decidedly im
proved.
I am heartily in sympathy with
the tenets of the Democratic
Party, and particularly with the
Recovery program of our Presi
dent. As before, mentioned, the
needs of this Division t are well
knowD to me, and my utmost en
deavors shall be, if elected, to see
.that oiir desires are crystalized
'into substantial legislation.
I Appreciating the support that
'you may see fit. to tender me, and
jassuring you of my entire efforts
I in your interests, I am
Sincerely yours,
RICHARD. E. DEE
