FICTION WRITER SENDS
 FAKE STORY OUTSIDE

The Nome Nugget is in receipt of the following dispatch from the As sociated Press: Opposition carried story saying. Snow going fast. a fleet of Automobiles is expected to be in Wainwright to witness the hop of of Amundsen in his Polar flight. the news of his hop of will be sent to Nome by Automobile" the Associated Press continued with This does not seem reasonable but we are leaving it up to the Nome Nugget to advise us concerning con- ditions. So far your reports have been the only reliable ones concern ing the expedition. Thank you for the keen interest shown in this mat ter"
 Here is another example of the fiction writers who spend the sum mer in Alaska and then go outside for the winter and proceed to fill the newspapers up with falsehoods about the Frozen North" Some correspondent here in Nome. pre- sumably for the International News Service. is responsible for that fake report being circulated in the States. Why these fiction writers will per- sist in this form of notoriety and for the gain of few dollars to themselves is more than any one with the true principles of manhood and love for truth can conceive.
 The person or persons who are responsible for that article being printed in the newspapers outside do more injury to Alaska than the man who deliberately goes out and knocks the country at large. The people generally ignore a knOcker to certain extent. but when place is misrepresented to the public in a way that would take the form of boost then the place that was mis- represented will have to take the blame.
 Writers of this ilk are too frequent in Alaska and the sooner they are exterminated by the well wishers Of this territory the quicker Alaska's reputation will profit.
 We need no writers with single track mind to give us this form Of boosting, there are many good things to say about Alaska that are the truth and we need not have to resort to false reports about her in order to gain favor in the eyes Of the outside public.

FINLEY SCHOOL
WELL HOUSED
Modern Building Now Re-
places One Destroyed by
Fire Last Spring

That a community never knows
what It can do until the hand OF nee
Iessity is laid upon it, was never more
forcibly demonstrated than IN the
Finley school district. Last Spring
only few months ago, gloom
abounded throughout the district
The school building to which an ad-
ditional story had been added at con-
siderable cost, was in ashes, and
practically all of the schools equip
ment was destroyed. Today no school
lin the county is better housed.
The new building which was oc-
cupied week ago Tuesday is credit
ito "a community of Finley's size. Al
though not elaborate nor fancy, 1t
lis modern in every detail. 1t is one
story concrete building OF PLAIN put
pleasing architectural design. The
seven class rooms and assembly
room are spacious, well ventilated
and lighted. The building is equipped
with a modern heating plant and wat
er for drinking purposes, fire protec-
ton, and irrigation is supplied under
uressure from a we'll in the base
ment. The plant is electrically lighted
and can be used as a community CEN
ter as well as for school purposes.
The new building is located more
nearly the center Of the school
grounds than the old one which will
allow for an attractive lawn in front
without materially infringing upon
the play ground area in the back.
On the whole it appears that the
