OVERSTOCK «CU
To the Public:—
We have just finished stock tak
ing, and find that we are heavily
overstocked so are making enorm
ous reductions in Hardware—as
much as 60% in certain lines. Not
withstanding Immense advances out
side, especially in Hardware and
Metal Goods, we are still selling ju
the basis of goods purchased the
past two or three years.
We will sell for cash only at these
prices, and for a limited time, until
we bring our stock down to the re*
qulrements of the Camp.
If you have an order to be filled,
let us figure on it; we can save you
money. We have proved it oo
others, we can prove it to you.

Freighters are now hoping that
the weather will not soften any for
a few days until the many orders of
prospectors and miners are filled.
Practically all the prospecting

The continued cold wave also con

There are to be two reindeer fairs
held in this district by the Bureau
of Education for the native deermen.
These will be at Igloo and Noatak

best advantage. There is always a
very large attendance of Eskimos at
these re-uinons which they are just
beginning to look forward to as the
events of the season.

There was qiute a large attendance
at the entertainment in the Eagle
Hall on Saturday night for the Holy
Cross Hospital. A delightful dance
was preceded by an excellent pro
gram which was very successfully
rendered. Two moving pictures were
thrown on the screen. Miss Bertha
Johnson rendered a very beautiful
violin solo. James Bogan was In
prime form singing “Where the
River Shannon Flows”. Mrs. Polet
and Miss Bertha Johnson as Lena
and Louie captivated the' audience
while Messrs Cowden. Rapp and
Nicholas in their guitar and mando
lin trio were well high perfect. The
Committee wants it strictly under
stood that they are still organised
and ready to receive donations to
the Hospital carnival fund. It is
probable .that while the total re
ceipts will be less than in previous
years owing to the minimum of ex
pense attached to this year's carni
val, the net results will not be less
than in other years.

of gatherings throughout the town
most of them of an informal nature.
In addition the Board of Trade Re
staurant sprung a new one on the ef
fete Nomeites when they cabaretted
in the New Year in that cafe. There
was also a dance in Burgh’s hall,
with many private re-unions also to
cheer the old year of 1916 on its
departure from the scheme of things
except some bad memories will insist
upon putting the date line at the old
figures.

On Saturday the land line between
Nulato and Gibbon went down. This
means that the stuff is handled by
wireless between those two points
and this naturally delays the matter
getting through. Nulato Is an office
which is exceedingly busy at all
times having to work with Nome,
St. Michaels, Iditarod as well as to
clear the land line direct from Val
dez through Fairbanks for these
points. The Nulato station also
works with the Bureau of Educa
tion’s station at Noorvik, but as that
is only an occasional call does not
affect “the regular order of bus
iness” to any great extent. The
Nome Station can hear Noorvik but
is not atuned for the reception of its
Marconi waves.

The Nome Chamber of Commerce
Is feeling pretty good over the
prospects of the Snake river harbor
which it regards rightly as part of
its own particular activities and for
which its work is mainly responsible.
The need of such a harbor, it is
pointed out by one of its most ardent
supporters, is manifest for the
mosquito fleet as a refuge in time
of storm. But it was added that
is does more than that. It will en
able them to load up even when it
is too rough for that purpose on the
open roadstead and thus minimize
delays that every summer are quite
serious. In addition it wlil enable
smaller companies to handle the
work of unloading by being able to
tout barges into the harbor when the
bar is removed. This opens the way
to a solution of the coal question,
according to the enthusiast.
