An inspection of fire hydr
ants throughout the city, oc
cupied the attention of city
officials, city engineers, city
councilmen and the Nome
Fire Chief this morning.
The pump filled the fire
mains with water and and
each hydrant was turned on
testing its valves and force.
All hydrants were found to
be in perfect condition with
the exception of one which
leaked slightly—the farthest
Wast one on First Avenue
west. It was repaired today
and the entire system is now
in efficient operation.
Today is Hallow’een, Octo
ber 31st, and a talk with Chief
of Police W. \V. Laws, disclos
ed that he was of the opinion
that it was all right for the
kiddies of Nome to have a
good lime, but that the de
struction of public or private
property was beyond the
realm of fun.
He stated today that with
children, he was always glad
to provide an opportunity for
their enjoyment of holidays
or special events. He said,
however, he was not in favor
of the injuring, destruction.

It was his suggestion that par
cuts caution their children on
Hallow’een to be careful and
respect the property rights
of others, but also to have a
good time.
The normal amount of dev
ilment is expected of course,
but according to his state

to arrive at Seattle, but it
was expected it would prob
ably reach there Friday.

The biggest increase in the
number of planes in service
occurred in 1930 when 24
ships were in operation, 16
more than were in service the
previous year. From that
time until 1934 the gain was
steady, then 14 more ships
were added to the 42 operat
ing, making a total of 56. This
year even more planes are in
operation, following inaugur

Grasshoppers Are
Tough In Alaska
Oldtimers Blink At Tale Of
Insect Horde Gnawing At
Axe Handles in Valley
Near Knik Glacier
Anchorage, October—Grass
hoppers so ravenous that they
ate holes in tents, gnawed ax
handles and gun stocks were
described here recently by
Mr and Mrs W. Peterson, of
Nashua, New Hampshire,and
their guide, Lee Waddell.
Mr and Mrs Peterson, who
are prominent big game hun
ters, landed their chartered
airplane in a nameless valley
locked by glaciers in the re
mote area between Knik glac
ier and Prince William sound
to look for deer.
The hunting party quit the
valley after the first day, but
not before the grasshoppers
had eaten large holes in their
tent and bedding and destroy
ed much of their food supply.
The insects were massed on
parts of the ground in a veri
table carpet, and made big
clouds in the air when they
flew’ about the tents, Mr and
Mrs Peterson said.
Many oldtimers say that
they have never seen grass
hoppers in Alaska, but the
hunting party exhibited tents
with big holes in them, scrat
ched gun stocks and ravaged
food staples as evidence of
their tale.—Exchange
