REPRESENTATIVE JENSEN PAYS
VISIT TO NOME CHILDREN
AT JESSE LEE HOME
BACK IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS
Will Return To Nome Over Trail;
Nome District Is Very
Prosperous.
“My trip out from Nome, over the
snow trail to Nenana, thence to
Fairbanks, Anchorage and Seward,
was made primarily for the purpose
of obtaining first-hand information
regarding local views of game con
ditions, stated Thomas D. Jensen
of Nome, Representative of the Sec
ond Division at the last Territorial
legislature, and member of the Ter
ritorial Game Commission, who has
been in Seward since Thursday, en
route to the Juneau headquarters of
the Game Commission.
“I could have just as well left
Nome on one of the last steamers of
the season, last fall, for Seattle, and
probablj* avoided the sometimes
strenuous overland trip, but I thot
it was a fine opportunity to meet
many people in the various districts
and ascertain conditions in their par.
ticular localities. Then, when the
game laws are enacted for the Ter
ritory, a clearer and much more
comprehensive ildea of the condi
tions will naturally result.”
After emerging from the depths
of the lower river country Mr. Jen
sen went over to Fairbanks, from
Xenana, where he remained for about
a week. Though he had made a
trip to the town and college last
spring his visit to the college, es
pecially, astounded him, due to the
many improvements noted particular
ly on the campus. ‘‘Splendid results
have been obtained at the college
from the expenditures made,” Mr.
Jensen said, ‘‘and the Territory cer
tainly has secured value received.”
Mr. Jensen had planned his itin
erary, prior to his departure from
Nome, to arrive in ample time to not
only make connections with the S.S.
Victoria, but in order to become fa
miliar with the Seward and West
ward district. While here he has
spent the greater portion of his time
in conversing with Seward business
men and citizens, on game condi
tions. In this connection he has had
several coversations with Leon Ur
bach, who is associated with the
commission, in a game licensing ca
pacity.
The representative’s personal (busi
ness is that of mining which he has
been engaged in for the past twenty
years in the Nome region. His prop
erty is located about nine miles from
Nome. He operates a hydraulic camp.
Speaking of general conditions in
that district he said that Nome is
prosperous, that everyone has money
and are continuing to make more.
The prevalent mild weather in Se
ward appears general thruout the
entire region thru which Mr. Jensen
has just traveled over, all the way
from Nome to Seward. He said the
oldtimers he has talked to do not
recall such a “soft” winter in pre
vious years as the present one.
The broad, expansive and fertile
valleys of the Interior country, wrere
remarked on by Mr. Jensen, who
compared them favorably with the
wide, fertile Red River Valley of
North Dakota, reputed to he one of
the most fertile valleys on the con
tinent. “With the expansion of the
mining industries of the Interior dis
tricts, it is a natural result,” he as
sered, “that agricultural activities
will increase. And anything which
can be grown in the northern States
can be raised in these regions, for
the climate, as a whole, is much less
severe than thos states forming the
boundary line.”
Mr. Jensen also remarked of the re
cent special Prosperity Edition of
The Gateway. He saw his first copy
of the big 60-page paper at Ruby,
where several copies had been re
severe than those States forming the
by Seward residents. “The Edition
made a decided impression all over
the lower River communities and
roadhouses and people were highly
pleased to have received a copy of
it.”
Yesterday Representative Jensen
had the pleasure of visiting the Jesse
Lee Home, wherein, many children
from Nome are now being taken
care of. It was a source of great
pleasure that he met the many little

JAPANESE ROYAL FAMILY HAS
ITS OWN BASEBALL DIAMOND
TOKIO, Jan. 29. (/P)—■Baseball,
which Is rapidly becoming Japan’s
national sport, has invaded the Impe
rial Palace grounds.
A baseball diamond has been laid
out near the palace and recently, for
the first time in Japanese royal fam
ily history, a game was played be
tween two nines chosen from among
the Imperial Household retainers.
Prince Sumi, the Emperor’s fourth
son, stated the game by pitching the
first ball. The spectators were com
posed of members of the Imperial
Household.
Three hundred Chinese dressed up
in soldier clothes and stole 11,000,000
worth of silk, which establishes a new
mark for the bootleggers to shoot at.
New York statistics show that two
farmers are living on Manhattan is
land, but do not show the several hun
dred thousand that wish they were
back again on the farm.
Good program at the Liberty.
