MOOSE HALL REPAIRS
 MAKE FINE SHOWING

The repairs on the Moose Hall
 which have been under way for sev-
 eral weeks are beginning to show
 I'D fine and Nomeites are sure to
 get surprise when they see it.
 The main reception room has been
 enlarged to the extent of the size of the former ladies dressing room. W hich in turn has been moved to the east front of the building at the end of the upper hall.
 The stairway. which formerly was located beyond the kitchen door and which took up some kitchen space has been moved to the oppo- site side of the reception hall and with landing follows the east wall to the upper hall or ante room which is more spacious than the former ante room. To make room for these additional second story rooms the one story addition on the east side of the building has been converted into full two story sec tion. A small room for lodge par aphernalia has been placed in this section also.
 The main lodge room has been enlarged to the extent of the former ante room and. with the former ''jog' where the piano has been formerly located. this makes re- markable difference in the size of the hall. The old flooring has been removed and replaced with hard wood which will add materially to he pleasure of the dancers along | with the added space.
 MT. Neilly. who has charge of the work, says that many unexpected l hings have come up in the remod- ! ding which has made the work | lrag on. but the results which are apparent to the onlooker surely are uost favorable and the Moose now will have as fine a home as there s in Nome.

that the number of shippers in creased over 1000 per cent and the buyers proportionately. the latter realizing that the Seattle Fur EX- change is one of the largest pri- mary fur markets of the world,
 Those who have had the pleas ure of inspecting the plant have seen the most convenient. best lighted and cleanest one in the country and say that the system of displaying and handling the furs is novel and most efficient, giving the shippers and buyers the advantage in speed of selection.
 The plan of monthly sales used by this firm is one of the reas- as why the growth has been so rapid. and another is that the shippers realize that in this man ner of selling they receive their weeks ard sometimes 'nontEs sooner than if they were ' lti by the other sSsfems.

NO NEED TO WORRY
 OVER LACK OF COAL

Much excitement was caused this week from the fact that someone got of with supposition that there was to be coal shortage and decided to lay in large sup ply :...
 Accordingly we investigated mat ters and took it up with Harry Gabrielson of the Nome Lighterage Company, local distributors. and Gabe says that there is no cause for alarm and that there will he plenty of coal to go around if folks take it easy and don't try to cor ner the whole lot.
 With this in mind the coal peo- pie are limiting each purchaser to one load at time and keeping lookout for possible hoardfng. which will guarantee plenty of fuel to the public until the boats ar rive with new supply,

SEAT GETS REAL
BUILDING BOOM

DEL RIO, Tex, Aug. %. = The
little city of Osona, county seat Of
Crockett county, northwest Of this
city, is having quite building boom
this summer. Ozona is getting some
of the benefits Of the oil field in the
adjacent counties.
Max Schneemann has let the con-
tract for the erection Of a modern sew
en-room residence. Work has already
started on the building and it will be-
finished about the middle of Septem-
Der, the contractor announces.
Work is progressing on the new
residence Of Mrs. Laura Hoover, and
will be ready to be occupied within a
few wekes. Striek Harviek, who re-
Gently purchased the Bright Baggett
place in the southeast part of Ozona,

ed. When completed this win be one
of the most modern residences in the
city. Work viii soon start on the
erection of a $4,000 church build
ing to be used by the Methodist de-

anticipating the erection of a number
of rent houses this fall. When school

Every new storage garage means

San Antonio is leader among
southern cities in solving her traffic
problems. She is building storage gar
ages throughout her business district.
A particular feature in solving park
ing problems are roof parking spaces;

And this is aiding the success of the.

property owners and merchants arc
cooperating in campaign to solve

1t is pointed out by experts that
IL merchants will build garages for
their own cars and leave the curbs
open for customers they will do more
business. And this has been tried out
successfully in other cities and IS
