NOTES ON
THE FAIR
The season ticket sale for the
Northwestern Alaska Fair opens
today. A crew of girls consisting
of Ann Walsh, Mary Hood Chap
man, Virginia Calkins and Edith
Hoop will handle the campaign.
The Fair management offers the
Season Ticket as a special value
and a real opportunity foT saving.
Adult tickets are selling at two
dollars, and chi dren’s tickets one
dollar. Since the adult afternoon
admissions are fifty cents and the
evening admissions seventy-five
cents they represent a bargain.
The children’s season tickets are
also a substantial saving.
The Fair booklet explains and
lists many of the attractions. Oth
crs have been announced from
time to time. Still others are in
the process of preparation. The
Fair is a worthwhile community
activity. When given the oppor
tunity of securing a season ticket,
give yourself a treat and join the
group of supporters who have
made this Fair possible.
In response to an invitation to
John W. Troy, Governor of Alas
ka, to attend or send a represen
tative to the Fair, the following
teepram was received by the
management:
"I hereby designate Mr. B. D.
Stewart, Director of Mines for
Alaska, my representative at the
Fourth Northwestern Alaska Fair
and Midsummer Festival to be
held at Nome, August 19. 20. 21.
Deeply regret that I shall be un
able to be present.
JOHN W. TROY,
Governor of Alaska.”

Judging by the list of prizes
set up by O. S. Weaver, chair
man of the Parade Committee,
a Teally colorful spectacle is in
store for Nome.
Several separate divisions are
listed: The Commercial Division
and the Native Division both car
ry $20 and $10. Smaller prizes
were set for the parade units from
lodges and fraternal groups since
elaborate displays could hardly
be expected with most member
sihips scattered and busy at this
time of the year.
The Camp Fire Girls and the
Boy Scouts can test ideas and
abilities in competition for prizes
of $15 and $10.
With plenty of owners in town
the Bicycle Division should pro
duce a hot contest for the prizes
of $5 and $3. Private cars may
compete for prizes of $7 and $3.
There will be other sections of
the Parade as well.
A week from tomorrow the Fair
begins. Just time enough to get
the outfit decorated and enter the
Parade.
Tip s Housewives
Bacon fat or butter rubbed ov
er baking potatoes just before
they go into the oven keeps the
skins soft and prevents their
breaking. It also gives them a de
licious flavor, and that’s news for
those who like to eat baked po
tatoes skin and all.
NOTICE
The Fourth of July Committee
will meet at the City Hall at 8
P. M., Wednesday, Aug. 11th.

BOY SCOUTS RETURN
FROM ANNUAL OUTINC.
AT PILGRIM SPRINGS
Scoutmaster Wilfred Boucher,
with seven Boy Scouts and two
younger boys as guests, left Nome
Sunday August 1st, aboard the
Kougarok Limited, bound for a
week at the Pilgrim Springs. The
train pulled out of the station at
9:45 a.m. A noisy but otherwise
uneventful trip was made to Iron
Creek, 60 miles inland, where a
fine lunch was heartily enjoyed
by the hungry troop, much to the
satisfaction of the cook, Mrs.
Becker. After lunch the Troop
proceeded on the train to the
Pilgrim Springs Station, where
they boarded the U. S. Mail ''Go
Devil", belonging to Harry Long
ley. for the final leg of the trip,
about seven miles of nigger-heads
and swamps, to the banks of the
Pilgrim River. The crossing was
made in the row-boats belonging
to the Mission. All mail and bag
gage was left at the river to be
picked up later by the mission
t ruck.
The troop and Harry Longley
hiked up the trail from the river
to the “Our Lady of Lourdes Mis
sion", where they were met by
the entire population of Pilgrim
Springs. Father E. J. Cunning
ham gave to the boys, the keys
of the city, and announced that
dinner would soon be ready, for
all who were in the mood. No
need to say that the invitation
was heartily accepted.
Later the Scouts decided to get
acquainted with the hay-loft,
where they wished to sleep the
first night. The entire week fol
lowing, was filled with excite
ment, and at no time did the boys
find time heavy on their hands.
Bathing, hunting, fishing, hiking,
mountain-climbing, during the
day time, and in the evening were
entertained with programs by the
I
Mission chldren, motion pictures
presented by Father Cunning
ham, scenes of and about the mis
sion and its activities, also games
were played, to the enjoyment of
all.
Then came the time, Sunday
morning, after breakfast, the time
set for the beginning of the re
turn trip homeward bound. The
boys thanked the good Father,
and the Sisters, for the wonder
ful time, and with farewells said,
were once more on their way.
The hike to the station took two
hours and fifteen minutes, arriv
ing there at twelve fifteen. Sun
day the eighth of August. Mort
Powell, true to his word, arrived
half an hour later.with the Kou
garok Limited.and the boys threw
in their packs, and climbed
aboard. The first stop was at Iron
Creek, where lunch was prepar
ed, and enjoyed by all appetites
present.
The journey homeward was re
sumed at 6 p.m. and at 6:30. about
ten miles from Iron Creek Road
house. we stopped to pick up 3
tired fishermen, who had toiled
and struggled for miles down the
Pilgrim River, in the endeavor to
capture a few trout and greyling,
for their Monday morning break
fast.
The journey was once more be
gun and was uneventful, except
for a few harmonica solos, played
by some of the scouts. Coming
upon a house, on the track at U.S.
Roadhouse, we were delayed for
about 30 minutes while three men
with a small tractor endeavored
to move 'he house to the flat-car,
whicn was on the siding. The
balance of the trip was made with
out mishap, arriving at 9:45 p.m.
at the Kougarok Limited station
at Nome, where all passengers
said tnern good-byes and good
nights, and hiked for home.
Boy Scouts on the trip were,
Robert Scott, Robert Rynning.
