Nome City Arrives.

The steamer Nome City, in com- mand of the popular navigator, Capt. Z. s. Moore, arrived in this port about ? o'clock "Wednesday morning, and after several attempts m the face of one of the severest gales ever experienced in Valdez bay, finally made fast to the wharf. When everything was supposed to be secure she suddenly parted her lines and in very short time was several hundred yards from the wharf. It was useless to attempt a landing again before daylight, so she steamed down the bay to Ft. Liscum where she lay all day yes- terday and last night unloading 100 tons freight for the Fort.
 The storm having subsided the steamer landed here today about 10 o'clock.
 The Nome City is u splendid sea- worthy vessel built in 1900 for the Nome trade. She has first-class passenger accommodations. With Capt. z. $. Moore in charge and Frank Baker as purser, the Nome City will be a winner in the Valdez trade.
 On this, her first Valdez trip, the Nome City left Seattle on Nov. 26, making the trip in less than six days, stopping en route at Sitka, and Yakutat. She carried 26 first-class passengers, PIP tons of freight and ll5,OOO feet of lumber for this place.
 The following is her passenger list

On Thanksgiving day the manager furnished a large supply of soda and distilled waters at the dinner given by Mir. and Mrs. Her man Syring. at their home, and all were agreeably surprised at the superior quality of their goods.
 The Eagles, a large and flourish ing society that has in very few years found its way into every city and town in the Union has at last found its way into Valdez. The members in town, to the extent of about fifty, came together last Sun day in Keystone hall. As club they have applied to the head lodge or aerie for charter in order to become a regular branch of the order. The society has from its very beginning been known as a charitably disposed body of men and the very first action taken by this local lodge tends to keep up that reputation. At last Sundays meeting it was unanimously de- cided to give ball, with the under standing that the proceeds would be applied to the erection of hos pital. A committee of five, with Dr. Boyle as chairman, was given full power to act and every detail will be pushed along to make this charitable affair perfect success.
