NIGHT POLICEMAN FOR NOME
At the last council meeting the suggestion was brought
up for the appointment of a night policeman for Nome to
work during the period from the arrival of the first boats
until fall.
Behind that suggestion is the glaring fact that Nome is
no longer a small town where everyone are neighbors and
the old sourdough spirit of the latch string hangs outside the
door, and pioneer spirit of obeying the laws ol property is
missing. We cast no reflections on anyone; we merely real
ize that with the rapid influx of newcomers, job-hunters and
laborers, there are more strangers in the City of Nome today
than for some time past.
With the arrival of the first boats we will see an even
greater influx of strangers. Not only for the protection of
private and public property in Nome, but to preserve a state
of law abiding order, We believe that the appointment of
at least one night policeman is imperative. A well regu
lated and orderly city under police protection at all times
is the greatest aid to commerce and industry, there is.
The Council meets again next Monday evening at 8
p.m. and it is hoped that some action will be taken at that
time regarding this situation. Activity of all kinds will be
greatly increased with the summer mining and building
season- and police protection is due the property owners
who will be building and carrying on their regular affairs
of business.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
That good advertising turns readers ints buyers and
makes buyers buy more.
Success in business depends on up-to-date business
methods.
A sufficient volume of business is necessary to bring
success. Newspaper Advertising increases volume!
Truth is a correct statement of any reality or fact—ex
actly as it exists and never otherwise.
That is why big business concerns believe in truthful
advertising. There service or goods will always stand the
light of advertising; they know it and tell it through the
printed page.
That is one of the Big Reasons why people should pat
ronize the business concerns who advertise.

the development of emergency and
deficiency minerals.
There is every reason to believe
that if these bills are enacted, the
funds authorized will be of direct
benefit in developing many mines
in Alaska, not only of gold, silver,
platinum, copper and other miner
als that are know to exist in pay
ing quantities, but such minerals as
tin. and nickel may be found in
quantities that will make the United
States independent of foreign im
portation of these metals which are
practically unknown in their orig
inal state in the United States. The
delegate has been developing the
plan from this angle for a consid
erable time, as evidenced by the fol
lowing excerpt from the “American
Metal Market of February 21, 1935.
"Alaska as a source for a poten
tial tin supply was projected to the
fore, and it is expected that con
gress will recommend a develop
ment of the industry on the Seward
Peninsula where Delegate Anthony
J. Dimond today said that more than
a million dollars worth of tin had
been mined in the past thirty years.
Delegate Dimond plans immediate
action to obtain an appropriation for
the development of the Alaskan tin
industry, he told the < orrespondent,
in pointing out that from a low sum
of $8,000 worth of tin mined in Al
aska in 1902, the sum rose to $138.
000 worth in 191", only to fall again
during the depression. 'I firmly be
lieve that Alaska could be develop
ed into a leading source of tin for
the United States which would do
much to end the unfortunate depen
dence we have on foreign sources
for our supply’, Delegate Diinond
said, -I have gathered figures on the
situation from the Geological Sur
vey, and their report shows Alaska
as a definite potential source of tin.
1 plan to push this idea in Congress,
and it may revolutionize our tin pic
ture.”
The Pope-Dimond bill now before
Congress authorizes an appropria
tion of $1011,000,000 for the purpose
of carrying out .the provisions of the
Act The immediate benefit will be
in the unemployment relief afford
ed through the development plan
ned, but the ultimate benefit will
be in the new stores of necessary
minerals fhat will be found and
which should more than repay the
appropriation authorized. At the re
quest of the Delegate, minor amend
ments were made in the Scrugham
bill so that Alaska would come with
in its provisions.
The bill for the suspension of
annual assessment work on mining
claims was ordered favorably re
ported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining. The provision includ
ing Alaska in the bill was stricken
at the request of the Delegate. This
is in line with the desire of the
Territory as exemplified by House
Joint Resolution, No. 3, passed by'
the Territorial Legislature request,
ing the abolishment of such suspen I
sion.
Three bills were introduced in the |
House by Delegate Dimond Friday—
one was to authorize the city of
Anchorage to construct a municipal
building and purchase and install a
modern telephone exchange and foT|
suh purposes to issue bonds in any
sum not exceeding $75,000, one to ^
authorize the town of Sitka to con-1
struct a municipal gymnasium and j
athletic field and for such purposes
to issue bonds up to $23,000 and one
for tire relief of Werner Ohls to
compensate him for the loss of live
stock shipped over the Alaska Rail
road several year's ago. I
A permit has been granted to R. I
B. Julian of Baldwin by the Feder- |
al Communications Commission in

Dr. Chas. E. Bunnell, President of
the University of Alaska left Wash
ington Friday on his return to Al
aska. Dr. Bunnell’s health is very
much improved and his strength is
rapidly returning.
A ring that authorities believe was
worn by Marie Antoinette of Fran
ce is now owned by Joseph Geist,
resident of Alaska. Mr. Geist sent
the ring to Dr. Bunnell at the Uni
versity of Alaska to verify it if poss
ible and while in Washington Dr.
Bunnell referred it to V. Volta Par
ma of the Library of Congress for
investigation and safe keeping. The
affidavit accompanying the ring stat
es ‘Ring of her majesty Marie An
toinette of Austria Queen of France
obtained from Grouvelle member
of the revolutionary committee who
had it from Marie Antoinette herself
because he had shown her more
regard in prison. It was given by
the Grouvelle family to the Princess
de Carini. The Marchesa de Collalto ,
(daughter of Prince de Carini) sends
it as a historic object to the anti
quarian, Geist.”
The ring was brought to this coun
try to the present owner Joseph
Geist, by Jean Bunnell when she
