new city which is rising in so mar yelous q fashion on the ruins of the old business quarter of Nome. All day yesterday the workers were busy and many of the new buildings are nearing completion The increased width of the street at the new build lngs will evidently make vast diff ference both in the appearance of the city, to the comfort of the citi- zensand to insure increased protec- ton against fire.

The change in the dircc- ton of the wind caused their build ing to catc. fire, and not half was saved that might have been saved.
