Nome Is Concerned
About Winter Tourists
Tourists, both present and fu
ture, were the chief concern of
the Nome Chamber of Commerce
at last week’s regular meeting.
The members present made plans
for the entertainmnt of members
of the Portland Chamber tour, ex
pected to arrive in Nome yester
day.
Antonio Polet led discussion of
the work of the Chamber’s tour
ist committee, interested in push
ing Alaska as the site of winter
tourist travel. Mr. Polet said the
job was too small for the Cham

plan be presented to all interested
merchants and groups.

appreciation of what it is doing for
their herds.”
