Father La Fortune of St. Joseph's
church was seen today busy making
spiritual calls to his flock. Out of
325 natives in this city, the Father'
says the majority are ill with a light
form of the flu, but that they are
getting along nicely. He expects
that those whom have not already
contracted the flu, will soon have
their turn at it.
In a recent letter received by the 1
Nome Daily Nugget from Sam Tag
gart dated at Seattle, Jan. 29th he
says:
"It is indeed pleasant to meet all
the old Alaskans in Seattle and en
joy this outside atmosphere. How
ever, strange as it may seem, I am
quite anxious to be starting back.
I intend to leave here between the
first and tenth of March.
Since coming to Seattle I have;
purchased the interest of Mr. Bol
com in the lumber yard at Nome,
which you have probably surmised
on account of the change in our
add. I am making arrangements
for larger and better shipments, al
so to handle orders direct for the
ones who desire to order direct from
the mill. I have also added several
other lines of material which will
enable me to furnish everything
need for construction, i ncluding
heating units plumbing and toilet
fixtures.”
Mr. Taggart also stated that with
the fine business connections he has
made his company will be in a pos
ition to make lower prices to Nome
ites than was made last fall.
