Ralph Lomen Arrives In
Seward Over Long Trail
Ralph Lomen of the firm of the
Lomen Reindeer & Trading Corpora
tion, and crack photographer of the
Territory, reached Seward on Satur
day's train, after a trip over the win
ter trail from Nome, which camp he
left January 22. arriving at Nenana
February 10. Most of the trip, Mr.
Lomen said, was made through in
tensely cold weather, intensified by
strong blizzards.
Mr. Lomen stated to a Gateway rep
resentative that he was on his way
outside for the purpose of promoting
the reindeer business, and also for the
purpose of purchasing his year’s sup
plies for the Lomen store at Nome.
Mr. Lomen declared that the Sec- j
nid division was building up slowly,
and the steady growth was encourag-!
ing to the residents. Some five or six
millions dollars have been spent in !
the Nome section by the Hammon in
terests who are developing consider- j
able placer properties.
The trip from Nome to Nenana was
one of the most severe experienced j
by Mr. Lomen, who had J. J. Elliott, '
member of the Terriotrial legislature, I
as a traveling partner.
His company plans heavy shipments
of reindeer meat this year, and he
states that the carcasses are sold
readily in the States. With larger
cold storage facilities on the ships,
lie believes a big market will be built
up on the Pacific coast.
Mr. Lomen said he would return to ;
Nome on the first trip of the Victoria
early in June.
The dance last Saturday night was
one of the best this year. Over sixty
couples were on the floor at one time
and the music by the Jolly Three was
exceptionally good.
