Adverse weather conditions today

ground at Nome, from scheduled

ern Alaska points .
According to information received

veling men are planning to arrive

clears up. probably about the mid
dle of the month .

ers: Lyle Hebert, of Schwabacher
Hardware; Milton Odom represent
ing W J Lake and Company liquor
house; Herb Carbray of the Seattle

Four other traveling salesmen have

Considerable comment regarding
another site for the projected new
school building to be constructed at
Nome, is heard A site has been
gravelled and obtained on the cor
ner of B street and Third avenue,
by the City of Nome, but lately ef
forts and suggestions have brought
to light another proposal, to obtain
a site for the school in the block,
where formerly the Pioneer Igloo,

other buildings were situated .
A committee of the City Council
was appointed some time ago to in
l vestigate the probable cost of lots
in this block on Front Street be
tween B and C streets. At last Mon
day's council meeting they turned
| in a report with a probable cost of
approximately $3,500,00 The re
port was tabled by the council and
no action taken at that time What
further plans regarding this site the
council may have, have not been
made known
Strong supporters of the site along
Front Street advocate numerous ad
vantages to be gained by the con
struction of the new school building
there—more economical and effic
ient and sanitary drainage and sew
erage; more centrally located in the
heart of the city; better protected
from the bitter cold winds; and
more accessible for the citizens of
Nome when attending community
activities in the building ,
Advocates of the present propos
ed site at B street and Third avenue
declare that the building would be
just as centrally located at that
point; the school would be away
from traffic, removing the danger of
accidents to school children by the
heavy traffic on Front Street; the
opportunity for sewerage down B
street would be efficient through a
large main drain; and the property
already is in the possession of the
City of Nome and approximately
$3500 would not have to be spent to
purchase a site,
The question of the site has ap
parently awakened some interest
and within the next month or two
it is expected the matter will have
to be definitely settled one way or
another, if the federal government
will grant the City of Nome another
$25,000 to assist in the construction
of the new school, together with
$25,000 from the Territory and the
$50,000 which has already been
granted to Nome.
CURIOUS CROWDS MOB
SET FOR “MASTER OF MEN”
IN STEEL .MILL
Although picture making is Hol
lywood's chief and only industry,
Hollywood and Los Angeles resi
dents never seem to get over their
curiosity concerning picture people
and picture making .
Even in districts thickly crowded
with studios a picture company
shooting on a Hollywood street is
always surrounded by such a crowd
of curious onlookers that a police
escort is invariably necessary. The
sight of a sound truck, cameras and
other picture paraphernalia is en
ough to collect a huge gathering in
a few minutes
witnout a policeman or two to
keep traffic moving, streets would
be jammed in a very few minutes
for automobiles pull up and watch
the director and actors go through
their paces.
Jack Holt and the Columbia play
ers who appear in “Master of Men,”
which is showing Friday at the
Dream Theatre, went to the out
skirts of Los Angeles for the steel
mill location in which much of the
picture was photographed. Even in
this sparsery settled district a crowd
collected which required the ser
vices of the ever-present officers.
While the company was working
right in the steel mills, the curious
“crashed the gate” and invaded the
mill. The high board fence around
the company’s grounds were crowd
ed with "sitters” watching the pic
ture people work. Small boys scal
ed nearby trees and telephone pol
es for places of vantage from which
to watch the interesting sight.
