ITEMS FROM JOHN M’GIVNEY
< 842 West 53rd street,
< Seattle, Washington.
‘ Joe Lucci is stopping with us.
He Is working at one of the ship
yards every day and attending
school at night. Jack Winters is
also helping to build ships in one
cf the local yards, for Uncle Sam.
Adolp (Dutch) Klemmensen who,
although born in Denmark, was
brought up in Germany, has been
denied access to the shipyards or
ships, and as he is a sailor he has
a hard time trying to find work.
He told me that he is not even per
mitted to go near the docks.
Louis Hansen who brought the
Schooner Ragle to Ketchikan is now
in Seattle and will return to Nome
in the spring. Monte Blair has gone
to Casper, Wyoming. There is quite
a boom, in Casper. Many former
Nomietes went there. Tom Nestor
invested quite a bit there, and John
was boosting it to beat the band.
Fred Daniels is in the restaurant
business there and it is stated that
be paid thirty thousand for his
joint. Divide that by ten and tho
chances are that you will then be
high.
Jimmy Byrnes is working in the
Union Iron Works here. Marcus
Burns formerly (Judge Burns)
of Port Safety is now slav
ing with the Pacific Coast Constuc
tion Co. Jack Nash better known
as-is working in the
Ames Shipyard.
M’Ardle, Mike Young, Jim
McLaughlin and any amount more ■
are helping out the nation at Bremer J
ton. Dick Conners was boss of con- j
^truction work at Camp Lewis. ]
Con Carroll, Harry Sheare, E. T.
MTntyre, Tom Watson, A. J. Parry
and a host of others too numerous
to mention from Nome are working
on the water front. Billy Larson
and James M’Farland are longshor
ing. George Lomen founder of the
Nome firm which bears his name,
is in the grocery business on Madi
son St. Simon Simson is walking
around taking life easy. Shallit is
running a shoteria on Pike St. Ed
(Skookum) Thompson is the boss
longshoreman.
Mr. and Mrs. Halpin arc running
the El Bevo apartment House, apart
ments full all the time. Mrs. Casey
is running a house of her own on
fifth ave. Jim Ryan who used to
run the chicken ranch has alitth;
farm at Greenwood. Bill Buckmas
ter is the chief Chef on one of the
steamers which ply between here
and Southeastern Alaska George
Glass is out from Alaska but will
leave in March for the Innoko. Hie
will take Clyde and Ophir with him.
His daughter Elva married since
she came out here. Mrs. Quigley
is living here. She left to visit her
sister for a few weeks at Vancouver,
B. C. Mrs. Jenny Smith, the nurse,
is also staying in Seattle. Tom
Hughes just arrived from Califor
nia. He usied to be a carpenter at
Nome. There was no end of inter
est manifested in the appointments
made by Judge Holzhleimer, and
every Nomeite mentioned it when
you met him or her.
Sidenverg’s brother is running a
store on Occidental ave., and with
him is the young Russian who used
I to clerk for Greehberg but later
1 got a job from Marshal Jordan.
Andy Ludvigson is living in Bal
lard. Ole Boyd went to California
to consult a dentist recommnded to
him by Geo. Hager, it was a school
of dentistry and the clinic was to
practice on him. They would do
the work for nothing and charge
him for the materials only. Ole
came back to be treated by Seattle
dentists in a hurry and he’ll kill
George when he gets back to Nome.
I met Doc Mustarc, with G. P. Gog
gin, just before Mustard left for
Chicago for assignment. He was
all dolled up like a major general
but it was only a captain’suniform
at that. Honest to God I never saw
such a change. He looked like Gen
eral Pershing so perfect was the
military air and as we spoke, the
sojers passed saluting him and the
way he responded showed me that
his must have been practicing it for
some time. He “done” i tlike an
expert. John Johnson the Iron Man,
had quite a*i escapade. You know
the ruction they raised over the
Russian boat Shilka. She used to
be a patrol boat off Siberia and
Johnson knew the Captain and the
crew from East Cape. When he
tried to get to talk to them he was
stopped and searched as an I. W. W.
and they thought they had made
a discovery w*:en they found him
wearing a button of the Pioneers of
Alaska.-Some inner circle of the
mysterious system. They found
nothing and when they discovered
the meaning of the button they let
him go. John told me about it
himdelf.
Ben Nygren bought a dandy fish
ing boat. He is going to take it
up with him at the opening of nav
igation. The Bender Bros., leaves
for Good News Bay in March and
is now getting ovierhauled at the
King and Wing yards for the trip.
Report has It here that because of
the high cost of supplies the Pioneer
Mining Co., may not operate except
on a very small scale next summer.
I doubt the report myself. I see
Phil Murphy here frequently. I
don’t know whether he is doing any
thing or not. Walter Langnan is
staying at Shaughnessy’s ranch in
Kitsap County. He tells me a great
many Nomeites are at Bremerton.
Billy M’Curdy is working nights at
Skinner and Eddy’s. Charlie LeClerq
is night boss at Skinner and Eddy’s.
Stevenson who used to be partner
with Jack Young is time-keteper at
the Seattle Construction Co. Frank
Petrie told me he was going to
Casper. Jack Young is there. Met
Charlie Shultz who used to be a
partner of ‘Pat the Dane’. Charlie
is married and has a family. He
is not bit changed since the old
days, he lives in Yakima. Labor
is greatly over-stocked here. Don’t
believe any moonshine about a
shortage. Thousands out of work
and still they crack up prosperity,
which is bunk. Met Happy (pay
strak Gus) Peterson, and partner
of Peter X., the other day. He is
working in the woods and was tak
ing in the town when I met him.
Give my regards to the members
of Local 240, and other friends in
Nome.
