It surely was some cold last night.
The thermometers at the Wireless

the lowjest temperature recorded in
town was 4 7 minus a record which
we hope may never be even approach
ed again.
Benard J Noilly while on his way
to Sinrpck on business for the Bur
reau of Education had a narrow es
cape from freezing. Being overtaken
by a severe blizzard while traveling
betwen Cape Rodney and Sinrock,
Neilly concluded to pass the night
where he wias. in his sleeping bag.
On arising the next morning he was
unable to persuade his dogs to start
the blizzard still raging fiercely and
it being extremely cold. Spending
another day and Wight in his sleep
ing bag he found on arising the next
mornig that three of his dogs had
frozen to death and that his hands
were badly frost bitten.' Leaving his
dog team he returned to an old cabin
near Cape Rodney where he wa;
found by Chris Gudmanson who was
on his way to Nome with a sick native
woman. Gudmanson unable to carry
Neily to Nome himself, informed the
authorities in Nome of the plight Mr
Nielly was in immediately upon his
arrival here.
A dog team was dispatched to bring
Mr Neilly back to Nome. It was found
when he arrived here that both of his
hands were badly frostbitten, but
that he has suffered no other injuries.
Mr M. O. Solberg Territorial Game
Warden returned to Nome from a
trip to Sinrock on business connected
with his office. He stated that he en
countered extremely cold weather and
raging blizzards while up the coast.
The ptarmigan were conspicuous
by their absence, and the people at
Sinrock Mission were living on fish
and canned meats, no fresh meat was
to be had, even reindeer meat being
for one reason or another not to be
procured. H stated that quite a num
ber of dogs which presumably be
longed to deceased natives were found
lin a pitiable condition. Seven of
them that were chained up by their
owners are reported to have succumb
ed to the cold and starvation, while
one had become fast in a fox trap and
unable to extricate himself there
from was found wandering with the
trap still attached to his leg, around
the tundra. He was speedily put out
of his mfisery.
Many fox traps were found set in
place by Mr Solberg where owing to
their proximitty to the trail danger ex
slsted of dogs belonging to mushers
being caught therein. All such traps
found were removed by Mr Solberg.
Mils MONOHAM
As it. may interest quite a few peo
ple to know how much the days have
lengthened, the daily gain, etc., we
hereby append the following figures:
Since Dec. 2 2, thes hortest day, till
Jan 25, the days have lengthened 2
hours lti minutes and 20 seconds. On
Dec. 22 the sun rose at 9:59: 49 a. m.
and set at 2:00:38 p. m.; on Jan 25,
the sun rises at 9:05:55 a. m. and set
at 3:23:04 p. m. The interval from
sunrise to sunset on Dec 22 was 4
hours and 49 seconds and on Jan 25
it Is Shours 17 mlinutes and 9 seconds
and the daily gain at he present date
is 6 minutes and 9 seconds. This
daily gain varies in amount from a
few seconds close to the solstice to
6 minutes and 47 seconds around the
sprting equinox. The times of sunrise
and sunset are determined by solving
the spherical triangle in which the
latitude of the place, the sun's polar
distance and the sun’s latitude are
given. The tables given in an ordi
nary almonac are valueless for a high
latitude, since the time of rising and
setting depend upon the latitude of
the place, and the almanacs published
outside are caculated for latitudes
from 30 to 45 degree north. A table
for latitude 64 >4 (that of Nome) was
colculatad for and published in the
■\Vcrker some years ago.

A telegram was received by Norvln

stating that Miss Margaret Desmond

Preliminary preparations for the
•participation of Nome in a nation
'wide memorial service to be held on
Feb. 9, in honor of the late Theodore
Roosevelt, were made by the Terri
torial Council of Defense, at a meet
ing held on last Wednesday.
The following telegram from the
headquarters of the Territorial Coun
cil of Defence, quoting a message
•from the Secretary of War in his ca
pacity of Chairman of the National
Council of Defense was read:
“By direction of the Secretary of
War, Chairman of the Council of Na
tional Defense, I request all state,
'county, community and municipal
Council’s of Defense comprising the
184,000 units of the Council of De
fense system to do everything possi
ble to make a success of the nation
wide arrangements for Memorial ser
vices to be held simultaneously on
February 9th. 1919 the day of the
proposed Memorial services in Con
gress. It is asked that you place
yourselves in contact with the Gov
ernor of your State who has already
received a telegram from a non-par
tisan committee of prominent citizens
' Because of the particularly non
partisan character of the great Coun
cil of National Defense, it is singul
arly fitting that the foregoing action
should be taken. The honoring of
Theodore Roosevelt is a matter that
transcends party belief and personal
prejudice. He lived greatly for Amer
ica and that is enough to justify ev
en those who opposed him in mourn
ing his death. With iron courage he
performed a major operation on the
public morals of his country at a
time when public ethics had become
dulled and with daring and unfail
ing dignity he measurably increased
the prestige of America abroad.
1 “Of no American can it be more
truthfully said than this:
“His heart was incarnadined with
the Flag.
' “For these things alone, all Amer
icans who lived in his time should
hold themselves in his debt and
should turn aside on the ninth day of
February to honor his passing from
the national state.”
Acing on this telegram Chairman
A Polet appointed a committee to
make preliminary arrangements for
this contemplated memorial service
which is to be held on the ninth of
February.
The following were appointed as
members of this committee: G J Lo
men. Chairman, Hon Wm A Holzhei
mer, Dieutenant L R Kollock, Em
met R Jordan, Fred M Ayer, J A
Bartholomew, D E Crowley and John
A Wilson.
The Council elected Wm Webb to
fill the vacancy created by the de
parture and resignation of James P
Daly as secretary of the organization
A resolution was passed request
ing Governor Riggs to secure an ap
propriation to reimburse members of
the Nome Daft quota who had to
travel long distances to reach Nome,
their place of induction.
