It is bruited around that the Road
Committee of the Nome Chamber
of Commerce will suggest that in
order to have constructed a wagor.
or auto road from Nome to Candle,
claim holders be allowed to sub
scribe to a road fund for this con
struction, the representation money,
instead of as in many instances per
forming it upon the claims in un
productive work. Thero would seem
(o be no objection to this idea pro
vided it was strictly optional with
claim holders to perform the work
on their ground or pay the money
ovor into the fund. Many a claim
holders can do the work and yet
can ill afford to subscribe the
amount required. In this way quite
a large sum might be got together
which could be put to practical uso
according to the idea promulgated
by tho Road Committee.

Ches D. Jones who arrived with
Louis Erickson, his pilot, on yester
day morning about nine o’clock
from St. Michaels and the Yukon
brings a story of a blowing winter
wind, unkind as man’s ingratitude
and just as tough to face. A record
of over flows, over-blows and over
snows in brief is the story that he
unfolded to an attentive newspaper
man (intentique ora tenebat as
Hogan says). They reached Ka*
tolik on December 22. They couldn’t
leave the next day on account ot
storm and the next day the wind
had blown the water up and they
had to travel through two miles of
water over the ice or go around
forty miles near no villages, road
houses or way stations of any kind.
After they both had held an earn
est council of war, they decided to
mush through the water and for a
time they looked to bo sailing on
the surface of the ocean, with Louis
apparently walking on the water.
The deepest water they encountered
was about eight inchoa but the most
of the time six or five prevailed.
They travelled all day and reached
the end of their sixty five mile trip.
St. Michaels, at half pact ton the
night of the same day they hart
started out.
Next day there followed an awful
Btorm in St. Mlchaols, and it con
fined the travellers to the Yukon
citadel for fdur days. It was De
cember 29 when they again set out
only to be held up again at Golso
via and Unalakloet. By this time
they were getting used to the blizz
ards, and didn’t mind it at all, so
that they mushed along as if no
thing happened when the wind
would take and lift dogs and sleds
and run them about forty rods in
land off the trail. At Bonanza It
blew the roof off the house they
wore staying in, and they didn't as
much as turn over and ask what
was the matter, while whon the
water came up two and three feet
on Bonanza they just expected it.
They came through from Walla
Walla to the Mission only to dis
cover that the ice in going out
across the bay carried with it a trail
has been staked and paid for by the
Commission. And here is where
they mot a matter that puzzled thorn
greatly. The ice is piled high as a
house along the shore by tho same
wind that drove the rest out to
sea.
The wind blow trees down and
smashed some like kindling wood,
but though it may havo scared the
spruce hens, no storm could bother
them.
They met Jordan and Lucky
Peterson at Isaac’s Point, and Gaff
ney at Bluff. When at Isaac s Point
they found the Marshal standing in
amazement at the huge hummocks
of ice thirty feot high that the
storm had raised along the beach,
but things like that wero common
on this Journey, and the Marshal
will probable be used to it by this
time.
The ice at the Mission shoved in
the "Prince Rupert" four or five
Inches, but did not do damage to
any of the craft.
From the Mission to Nome the
weather was unoventful. It even
stopped blowing. At Bluff they
were still searching for Paddy
M’Grath’s partner who lost his life
In the big storm, or who at any rata
had not been seen since and whoso
sktles were found near a pllece ot
glare ice oh Daniels creek.
