NOME HAS ONE OF BEST
 RADIO STATIONS IN ALASKA

The Radia station here which has
 underwent complete overhauling
 is according to Captain Calvin H. | Burkhead one of the best radio sta tions now that Alaska has. The | installation of the two Arc set which
 was started last summer and was not
 completed on account of the equip ment not being on hand is now com
 pleted and giving the best service that can be obtained anywhere. The size of the two sets are one 5 kilo Watt and one ? Kilo Watt. Besides
 this added improvement to the sta ton complete new Antenna has
 been erected which thru much re search work on the part of Captain
 Burkhead last winter was found to
 be most adaptable to Alaska
 The taking down and erecting of the old and new antenna was accom- plished without the delay of single message and this work was done by the members of the station with the help of Chas. Kennedy who did the tower work. The entire personnel of the station will be changed from that of the last year in very short time. Sergeant Anderson the cap able and efficient radio expert, who was connected with the Nome station over year ago returned to Nome from the States this summer and will be the Officer in Charge of the Radio station.
 Captain Burkhead states that with out doubt this station is the best of its size in Alaska. Instead of working with Nulato distance of 25O miles as was done before the station now works with Fairbanks direct. distance of approximately 600 miles and this is done with much more satisfaction than the old station did with Nulato.
 Colonel J. G. L. Hartman who ar rived in Nome this week on a tour of inspection of the various stations turnout Alaska left Nome Thursday in company with Captain Burkhead for Iditarod where they will separ- ate, the Colonel going from 1ditarod to Fairbanks and thence to the out side by the way of the Richardson Highway. Captain Burkhead will go l to Gibbons. Ft. Yukon. Circle, and Eagle on a tour of inspection. Cap tain Burkhead expects to freeze in at Circle and make the return trip l to Fairbanks with his crack dog l team. which he states is one of the best in Alaska, and expects to be in | Fairbanks between the Is and 3Oth l of November.
 Captain Burkhead has many friends | in Nome who are sorry to lose the | presence of such a congenial an in teresting person as he has proven | himself to be. And it is to be hoped | that Nome will be honored with an- other visit from the Captain in the i near future.
 The Nugget extends it's best wishes to both Colonel Hartman and Capt. burkhead who while with us display ed such keen interest in the affairs that concern Nome and the local Radio service that we have today as good radio service as any other city ir A1aSka

Dad Chase who conducts the Road House near the mouth of Dexter. was visitor in Nome during the week but did not remain in town very long as he is very busy man at his Roadhouse. since the vacation vanguard struck the vicinity of Dexter. Dad has been taxed to his utmost to maintain the clean, cour- teous, reliable and hospitable ser vice that has always greeted any one stopping at his place.
 MT. Chase is to be highly compli- mented upon the manner in which his place is kept, no lady regardless of how particular she might be could keep a place any cleaner than does Dad Chase. if one is not hun gry upon entering Dads house they would soon feel the bangs of hunger were they to view the neat, white, kitchen with it's capabilities of turn ing out such feed" as Dad can with the facilities at hand.
