A splendid program has been ar
ranged for the Red Cross vaudeville
which is scheduled to be staged in
i the Eagle hall at 8.45 p. m. this
I evening. Further information on
this subject will be gleaned by
reading the program which is pub
lished on the fourth page bf this
issue
Several property owners residing
j in the vicinity of Dry Creek have
! asked us to announce, that there
j are a few very careless—would like
to be sportsmen—who are imbued
with the pernicous habit of shooting
off fire-arms within the city limits
which is dangerous to life as well
| as to property. Windows have re
j cently been broken and residents
I nearly struck by stray bullets.
“There is a city ordnance, to th«
effect that the shooting off of fin
arms within the city limits is strict
ly prohibited.” Therefore, we pre
sume that the Mayor and members
of the City council as well as
j every other citizen, will endeavor tc
• enforce said ordinance. (There is
: plenty of room out on the tundr?
j for prospective sharpshooters and
j duck hunters to experiment with
j their eyesight—likewise their fore
1 sight.)
We have been informed that a
native reindeer herder named Mar
kus recently killed a full grown
brown bear with a bullet fired from
a 22 high power rifle. Bruin was
roaming among the hills in the vi
cinity of Salmon Lake. A few nights
ago another live bear was seen near
the same locality. The native said
he didn't try and gut the other one,
because he had only two cartridges
loft at the time and he .thought he
would be taking too long a chance
to tackle bruin without an addition
al stock of ammunition. He said
he will be prepared for any emer
gency when he returns to the vicinity
of the aforesaid Lake, to take up
the duties encumbent upon him in
looking after the reindeer herd own
ed by Duffy O'Connor, Oscar Mun
son and others (including Markus
himself.)

Nome Industrial Worker: —
Just returned from new strike on
Watermoose creek—a tributary of
Good News river—. Nothing at all
exciting there so far, only 4 claims
workable. Several other small
creeks producing grubstakes. This
section of the country appears to be
a good prospecting proposition.
Would not advise anyone to come,
few men required, and (open cut)
season very short. Eight hour law
strictly enforced by the wage workers
around here. Right now grub very
scarce in camp. A number of Up
per River stampeders stalled at
Bethel waiting breakup, and outside
supplies. Very little game here a
few ptarmigan and fish. Reindeer
meat can be bought for twenty cents
per pound. And savt the rottcnest
weather in Alaska.—Regards to all
the Boys. So long.
Frank P.Manton.
P. S.
I recently received a postal card
from Lieutenant Oswald A. Rowan.
The postmark says ‘•Somewhere” in
France.
(Frank Manton and Oswald Rowan
weie mining partuets several years
ago. They mined on tho Bench claim
off No. 2 right limit of Center creek.
Lieut Rowan has also had the
honor of being President of the Nome
Mine Workers Union He hold said
office during the year 1912.
Mail for the Yukon. Unalakleek
nd way points, will close at 5 p.
a. Monday May 27th.
The last overland incoming mail
rom the outside is expected to ar
ive next Wednesday or Thursday
providing trail conditions are fav
irablie.)
A few of the Cape Prince of Wales
natves recently captured the first
whale of the season. But unfor
tunately they soon lost possession
at it.
They had towed the big fish along
side of an ice-floe, and were cutting
it up when the wind suddenly shifted
[rom a Southerly direction to a
Northerly direction. The change
raised cain with the ice, compelling
natives to hastily beat it back to
shore. All that was saved was the
fluke and a few small chunks of
blubber. Not one particle of the
bone was saved. The whale was an
extraordinary large one.
A small white “Beluga” whale
was also recently caught by natives
In the Bering Straits.
MINERS UNION MEETING TO
NIGHT AT 8 P. M.
Exercises will be held on May
30th under the auspices of the
j Nome Loyal Legion.
Details will be announced later, j
The delicious waffles which were
served in the Log Cabin between the
hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. to
i day disappeared like the hot-cakes
mother used to make.
The ladies in charge collected the
sum of $121.00. Said amount will
be turned over to the Red Cross
fund.
Some of Nome’s young ladies are
to be highly commended for the ex
cellent work which they are doing
in behalf of the Red Cross. Just
before going to press we were in-!
formed that Miss Irene Bongard;
and Miss Jean Crowley had col
lected $480.00 in cash.
Miss Mamie Kelly and Miss Ine
Lyle had collected $411.25.
The young ladies also have
pledges for a considerable amount
which will be collected later.
They certainly did remarkably well
to collect nearly $900.00 cash for
such a good cause.
Tomorrow being Memorial-Day
Sunday, Rev. C. H. Shank has se
lected a very appropriate subject
for the occasion, entitled:— “If
Christ were an American citizen,
what would be His attitude toward
the Great World War?
The Patriotic Service will be
held in the Federated Church, at
8 p. m. tomorrow evening. Every
body is cordially invited to attend.
Landscape gardeners, vegetarians,
and others can secure a few pack
ages of garden seed (free) by call
| ing at Hill’s Drug store, or at M.
O. Solberg’s barber shop. “There
is only a limited supply to be dis
tributed.” They were sent in by
the U. S. Department of Agricul
I ture, at the request of Chas A.
jsulz r, Delegate from Alaska.
—
“It is reported that the following
bubble escaped from the balloon!
That the first regular Patriotic j.
meeting of the Nome Loyal Legion
was nothing more or Rss than a •
Republican meeting.” We wonder
if the windjamer would make an
affidavit to that effect?
8. O. S.
For all work left at the Nome
Tailoring Co., between May 22nd J
and 2!>tli, We will donate 25% of|
all proceeds to the Red Cross Fund, j
Our boys are doing their best,
so help us to assist in the Red
Cross work by having your suit
| pressed now.

Too much praise cannot be given
to the above Tailoring Co. The
adv. itself is evidence enough of
the sincerity of said concern to aid
the Red Cross Society to carry on
their humane work.
“There can be no question but
what Councilites are Patriotic.
The committee having in charge
the sale of the wool, subdevided the
allotment for this division and sent
one ounce to the following places.
Council, Marshall, Candle and St
Michael. So far returns from the
sale of the wool in these places only
Council has been heard from where
the ounce allotment was sold for
the magnificent sum of $338.00.
The successful bidder being Joe
Sugg.
Dr Neuman will give a lecture
in the Log Cabin next Monday
evening. He will also exhibit, with
| magic lantren scenes his selected
I collection of antiguarian relics from
' St Lawrence Island.
[ Excellent music will also be rend
| ered during the evening. Admis
| sion 25 cents. The entire receipts
j will be turned over to the Red Cross
Society. Judging by the aforesaid
program a pleasant evening is as
sured, from 7.30 to 10 p. m.
Mr Frank C. Dean received an
other telegram today stating that
contributions toward the Red Cross
fund are steadily being received
from former Nomeites who are at
present sojourncying on the great
outside. The latest who generously
donated are Attorneys Iro D. Orton
and W. A. Gilmore.
