Why not municipal skating rink? Yes. why not? Nome can have one and it will cost but very little. Besides it will be safe place for the kids and grown-ups as well--there will not be that fear that the tide is going to cause the ice on Snake river to be dan gerous to life.

We are informed that the days of the dog team are diminishing with the advent of tractors and airpanes. In this connection. the Hammon Company expects 10 keep the trail from Nome to Little Creek open for automobiles during the winter season by using a tractor to break trail after snow storms. We believe tkat some satisfactory arrangement can be made to keep the streets of Nome open to traffic with the use of a tractor, following storms. It would add to fire protection to have the streets kept open for traf- fic, and would assist the mining and business interests at the same time. There are several tractors here that could be used in connection with the fire department. and whenever We have little blow a driver could be sent out over the streets and break trail.
