In addition the Board of Trade Re staurant sprung a new one on the et- fete Nomeites when they cabaretted in the New Year in that cafe. There was also a dance in Burgh's hall, with many private reunions also to cheer the old year of 1916 on its departure from the scheme of things except some bad memories will insist upon putting the date line at the old figures.

 On Saturday the land line between Nulato and Gibbon went down. This means that the stuff is handled by wireless between those two points and this naturally delays the matter getting through. Nulato is an office which is exceedingly busy at all times having to work with Nome, St. Michaels, Iditarod as well as to clear the land line direct from Val dez through Fairbanks for these points. The Nnlato station also works with the Bureau of Educa- tion's station at Noorvik, but as that is only an occasional call does not affect "the regular order of bus mess" to any great extent. The Nome Station can hear Noorvik but is not atuned for the reception of it's Marconi waves.
 The Nome Chamber of Commerce is feeling pretty good over the prospects of the Snake river harbor which it regards rightly as part of it's own particular activities and for which it's work is mainly responsible. The need of such harbor, 1t is pointed out by one of it's most ardent supporters, is manifest for the mosquito fleet as refuge in time of storm. But it was added that is does more than that. It will en- able them to load up even when 1t is too rough for that purpose on the open roadstead and thus min:Eize delays that every summer are quite serious. In addition it will enable smaller companies to handle the work of unloading by being able to tow barges into the harbor when the bar is removed. This opens the way to solution of the coal question, according to the enthusiast. ss
