Nome, Alaska
An NIAT plane arrived not long
past with Mrs. Geo. Modini and
son Planes have been expected,
arrived and departed bringing
passengers taking others and make
us feel reaj Important in Candle
but for one thing. After much
hard effort and labor we have fix
ed up our air field so that it is
absolutely fool proof only to have
the NAT igttQre It and use the Kee
walik sand spit for landing. Now
Keewalik happens to be a three
hour boat ride from Candle, pro
viding the tide is in and up so
that when one asks to be delivered
at Candle the sand spit is a far
cry from it. Wihat’s the good of
an air field if no one will use it
for the purpose it was intended
for?
Is all our hard earned efforts
to go for nothing? No. I say land
your airplanes at Candle when
they should be landed. there.
That’s only reasonable and with
the crack flyers the NAT have it
should be duck soup for them. It
sure looks to us here at Candle
.that you fellows have * peeve on
us. Can’t see any reason for it at
all. Hope were mistaken about
it.
Mr. Carl Lomen and Mr. Austin
his brother-in-law looked in on
Candle for a couple of days and
we hope they were successful in
whut brought them here. Mr.
and Mrs. Jas. Keenan of Nome
were also in and out of Candle
looking over mining intersts, we
hear. More power to you. We
need lots of mining interests here
and about as it is to the credit of
us all if we can make a real live
mining camp out of Candle and
vicinity.
Very little rain fall here so rar
but we hope for more so that we
can hold up our end. Tough when
there’s no water and every one
needs it so bad.
Mr. and Mrs. Winship and dau
ghter Murial were expecting to
leave yesterady or whenever the
plane came back from Nome after
stopping at Deering and getting Mr.
and Mrs. Keenan and taking them
hack to Nome The relief wireless
operator is suposed to be here
now.. All of Candle will join in
farewells to the Winship family
and wish them much success In
