lsF.GlN TO THINK
 OF A CIVIC CLEANUP

While apparently winter is still with us a few weeks more will wit ness a decided change in the general aspect of the big outdoors. The snow is now rapidly sinking, water Is forming in low places and in num- erous sections of town running water is visible. Soon bare spots will appear and then over night we wil realize that spring is here.
 It is not premature to cala the attention of our citizens to the sub ject of Clean -UP-Day. The homes and business houses of Nome are in need of brfghtening up and no more profitable or pleasing results can be obtained than to repaper, paint and generally redecorate both the inter- iors and exterfors of buildings. Not only is the property value i'm creased. the mood and attitude of the various individuals likewise changes value. all for the better.
 Tn due course of time. when the snow has disappeared. cleanup of the outdoors will be in order and each resident will take pride in as ,eisting the City authorities in mak- ing Nome brighter cleaner place ito live in. There is no better time than the present to begin planning your spring alterations. By doing ft now you can receive prompt at stention and he ready to greet your Friends when they arrive on the first boat.

OLD TIME RESIDENT
 RETURNS TO NOME

A. J. Faber arrived in Nome May 1st, completing a twenty day mush on foot from Marshal. Mir. Faber is former Nome resident having come here in 1898. at which time the only habisations were on the Spit. Stayins here until 1908 he left Nome and went into the Yukon country where he has remained un til his arrival here May lst. While in the upper country Faber became familiar with the people and activi- ties of that secti ion, and many inter- estfng facts are at his finger tips.
 MT. Faber states that the fishing situation along the river. due to re- cent legislation. has caused many people to be thrown out of employ ment; has forced packers to with draw their canneries and has permit ted other outfits to take their place, outfits that caues a greater deple- tion of food fish than obtained under the old conditions.
 Regarding available barges along the Yukon the musher states that at the present time there are a num- Der of chem, one named the Erie, with a capacity of 1000 tons and built for open water such as the trip from St. Michael to Nome. can be purchased at a reasonable price and would be suitable for hauling coal from the Yukon to Nome. Due to its capacity it would be impossible to load fully at Nenana. on account of shallow water. Besides this boat Erie there are three smaller sea worthy barges of 800 ton capacity either of which could be advantag- eously employed on the Nome. St. Michael Nenana run.
 Speaking of fish and canneries Nil .. Faber stated that the Carlyle Can nery was forced to pull stakes and seek new locations. as result of prchibitive legislation. This has meant that thousands of dollars paid in wages is lost to both whites and natives along the Yukon. As to this or similar canneries depicting the fish supply and thereby causing natives along the river to suger thru lack of food supplies, he states is pure bunk The cannery employed its own fishermen and also bought all fish that private fishermen could supply, creating a market that has
 now been destroyed.
