MARTIN F. MORAN
Martin F. Moran, one of the can
j didates for Senatorial honors, sent j
j word from Kiana asking us to an-:
1 nounee his deepest regret, for being!
I deprived of the pleasure of being
among his friends in Nome, during
those strenuous political times. He
i
said he feels confident of the support
of enough of his friends, to elect
him to represent them in the Senate,
when the next Territorial Legislature
convenes at Juneau.
Martin F. Moran was born in
Shanandoah, Schuylkill County,
Pennsylvannia. When seven years
old his parents moved to Kansas.
He came West when quite a young
man. He arrived in Nome in June,
1900, and he has lived on the Arctic
Slope of Seward Peninsula most of
the time since.
He went North in the spring cf
1901. He mined on Hannum creek,
a tributary of the Immachuck river,
during the following summer. He
resided in the vicinity of Candle
creek for several years, until he
went to the Kobuk, at which place
he held the position ofU. S. Com
missioner for several years. He has
spent most of the time since he
has been on the Kobuk, in pros
pecting and mining.
Several years ago he tackled the
fox farming business, a few years
later he abandoned it, and took up
his vocation of mining again. He
is at present prospecting for the
' elusive paystreak on Kleary creek,
a tributary of the Kobuk river.
He was elected to the 2nd Alaska
Legislature, and served as a Repres
entative of the Second Division, dur
ing the session of 1915.

Mr. J. J, Stokes, Secretary of the
local Frateral Order of Eagles, re
ceived a telegram from Barry Keown
yesterday, stating, that Monte Blair
had been killed recently at Caspar,
Wyoming.
(Mr. Blair is a well-known form-;
er Nomeite. He arrived in Nome
in the spring of 1899. He resided in
this section of the country almost
continuously since, up until he de
parted for the outside last fall. He
followed the vocation of mining.
He was a practical miner of marked
ability, and one of the most con
genial persons it is possible to meet.
He is a Native Son of California.
He was born near Angels camp, j
nearly 41 years ago.
We feel ' assured, that hip many j
friends will be sorry to learn of hie j
tragic end. The message did not
give the details of his death.)

The Eagle Minstrel Show, held in
the. Eagle Hall, last Saturday eve
ning, was a success in every sense
of the word. The curtain rose at
9:15 sharp.
The minstrel troupe was the first
number on the programme. The
company rendered a selection and
during the chorus a shot was fired,
simultaneously, Old Glory was un
furled in the background, the color
ed End Men entered with Bones ann
Tambo. The entire company then
sang “Over There”.
Several songs were sung ny Nome
Mocking Birds. Some rich spicy
jokes were cracked, which hit home
in several instances.
The audience was assured, “by a
poster ’, while he sang, that this was
"Positively Doc Kemp’s last appear
ance’’ in vaudeville.
Cap. Hill, sang “Old Black Joe",
supported in the chorus, by the en
tire troupe which marked the close
of the Minstrel Act.
During the ten minute intermis
sion following this" act, Judge G. J.
Lomen addressed the audience, with
a touching oration, on, why we
should show our patriotism by sub
scribing for the Third Liberty. Loan.
In the ten minutes, the sum of'
$11,250.00 worth of Liberty Bonds
were subscribed for.
Elmer Heed, director, requested j
the audience to rise and sing one i
verse of America. The next act was, i
“A Night in Spain” which was well
received amid loud applause. The
‘‘700 tbs.,of Harmony, in Fair
| Hawaii”, was a catchy musical num
I ber and was encored several times.
! ‘‘A Trio of Nome Prodigies” was the
I next number. Two excellent piano
selections were played by Miss Vir
ginia Van Sickle and Miss Helga
Hegness. Harold Dill then handed
Kaiser Bill, a promise of a ducking
in the Kiel Canal. McGuire and
Dilg, two men of fame, showed the
awe-struck audience some marvelous
feats in mental telepathy.
J Last but not least. Max Rouse and
j his bevy of beautiful Southern Girls,
! which was repeated by request, was
well rtceived.
The entire show was up to the
standard in every way and showed
hard study by each of the many
participants. One or the best shows
‘ lor many years.
