with prospect of further rain.
At the landing field, a mile from

ranged for by Ralph Lomen, Nor.

in readiness.
Nome's gambling spirit was
aroused and many bets were being
made on whether the ship would
arrive and the time.
While In some quarters belief
was expressed today that the Norge
might have made landing some
where between Point Barrow and
Nome. This was discredited by
those who know Captain Amund-
sen. They declared that there is
and that he would not risk q land
ing without proper facilities when
so close to Nome, where he would
be assured every assistance.

Wednesday night, she should have
reached here barring the possibility
that she might have lost her
course and have been carried either
TO the south or westward in the
heavy weather. This, however,
would not explain the failure Of
the most powerful radio stations
in Alaska to get in touch with
her.
Meanwhile excitement runs high.

WIDENING OF HIGH ST.
 ISFAVORED BY MAYOR
Defeat of Washington St. Project Results in
 New Plan

Defeat of the public works board proposal 10 provide for widening of Washington street, has resulted in a new movement to widen High street, which parallels Washington street one block west.
 Exorbitant costs made necessary by the existence of several large buildings over the proposed Wash iugton street line doomed that propo- sition, but those conditions do not exist on High street, proponents of the new plan point out.
 Mayor Weld and City Engineer Williams have been over High street and look upon the plan as q feasible one which they say, can be carried through with a fraction of the cost which would attend the original idea.
 Further study will be given the project as q means of divorting traf- lie and the scheme will probably come before the common council this year.
