LOCAL NEWS
O. M. Powell, in a recent letter re
ceived in Nome urged that the.
Chamber of Commerce get behind
a program for the further extension
of the Tramway in the Kougarok,
to Dahl Creek, about 12 miles fur
ther than it already is. It is report
ed that this proposal will be brought
before the Chamber of Commerce
and a report made upon it.
Frank Reeder. 40 years of age,
dropped dead while digging clams
on Spaulding’s Point. Reeder, a
resident of Alaska since 1919, left
Juneau in company with Ben Par
sons and A J Bruce. The party left
their car near the summer home of
R F. Robertson and walked on to the
point. Using flashlights they started
to dig and after a few minutes dig
ging Reeder said he had to stop as
he had a pain in his side. The oth
er men went a short distance away,
and calling to deceased and receiv
ing no answer they found him dead.
He was a World war veteran and is
survived by a widow.
It was learned from a letter ad
dressed to the Northwestern Alaska
Chamber of Commerce, that the
Placer Gold Mining Corporation,
Secretary and Treasurer. Dr, L. W
Richards, 707 Shafer Building, Seat
tle, Washington, that considerable
hydraulic operations were planned
for this coming summer.
The letter stated that equipment
and supplies were to be shipped into
Nome on one of the first boats, and
that some of the company officials
would be flying into Nome by air
plane, early in April.
The property on which the Placer
Gold Mining Corporation expects to
operate is the ground formerly own
ed by John DeFries, in the Oregon
Creek district. The company was
recently incorporated under the
laws of the Territory of Alaska.
Another matter urged in the let
ter. was securing enough support to
bring about the extension or con
struction of some kind of a road in
to the district, as it would material
ly assist in the opening up and de
veloping of that section.

Sailing Schedules
Alaska Line
Received Monday was the new sche
dule of the Alaska Steamship Co.,
for sailing dates of Alaska Line
steamers on the Bering Sea route.
The schedule appears in their adver
tisement on page three..
Noticeable in the new schedule, is
that the veteran liner S. S. Victoria,
which has been on the Nome and
Bering Sea run for the past thirty
years, will make only two voyages
to Nome during the 1935 season, the
first trip being out of Seattle June
first, and the last sailing of the sea
son from Seattle October ninth. It
is understood that the Victoria will
be used in the tourist travel in
Southeastern Alaska during the tour
ist season, while the steamers Dell
wood and Derblay will be run on
the Bering Sea route during the
summer.
Passengers leaving Nome on the
steamer Dellwood, the first boat out
of Seattle with relief supplies and
lumber, and etc., following the fire
of Sept. 17th at Nome, reported to
the company their desire to see the
Dellwood placed on the Nome run
permanently. It is reported that
tli is move was largely brought
about by those reports.
Another feature of this year’s sche
dule is that three Alaska Line ves
sels will be leaving Seattle for the
first sailings into Nome—the Dell
wood May 25th, Derblay May 29th,
and the Victoria June 1st.
It is also made known that the
Vagabond Cruise into the Arctic
Ocean in 1935, which proved such a
success last year, will be made
aboard the S. S. Dellwood, on her
July sailing, instead of the August
sailing as it was last year.
Tooting Their Horn
The Nome Brass Band practiced
for the first time as a working or
ganization last evening in the Fire
Hall with thirteen pieces, going thruj
a regular schedule of band music
Judging from the volume of music
heard from the outside of the hall
the musicians are displaying an ac
tive enthusiasm in re-establishing;
a band in Nome..
At present the band is somewhat
handicapped by the shortage of
band music in town.. Due to the
fire, a large library of band music
ordered years ago, and which includ
ed some of the creations of a num
ber of world prominent band artists,
was destroyed.. It became necessary
therefore, to send in an order for a
complete set or two of band music,
which is expected in about two or
three weeks .
Several donations have been re
ceived from citizens in and about,
Nome, and were greatly appreciated
as the money will go into the pur
chase of music and other incident
al expenses in getting organized
and continuing its practices
A committee of the band it is re
ported, will see the public and see
if there are any who would care to
donate or contribute toward the ex
pense of once more putting the
Nome Brass Band up as a working,
unit, which will always be a credit
to this city..
As public-spirited progressive cit
izens, it is your duty along with,
others to help civic organizations
such as this one in their organiza
tion and progress.
