Nome river, Solomon river, Snake river, and others too numerous to men, tion, are well stocked with trout, salmon. grayling and many other species of the best game fish. Hunting
 The hunter finds abundance of sport in the Nome region. On the tundra lakes almost every species
 of ducks and geese propagate Ptarmigan breed on the broad tun-
 dra flats by millions, as well as plover, curlew. snipe. and the like; while back in the hills crane are to be had without number. There are squirrels. arctic hare, and also
 boar.
 Schools
 Nome has school system second to none in the Territory. In the Nome Public School all the grades are taught which are taught else , where. The Nome High School is
 also an excellent school, offering
 all the courses taught in the high
 schools anywhere.
 The United States Bureau of
 Education maintains an excellent
 school here. also at many other
 points in the Division, for the Es- | kimos. The best of teachers are provided, offering the Natives a good, free education.
 Churches Nome supports three Churches
 for Divine worship-the Nome 7 Federated Church; the Roman Catholic Church; and the Method
 ist Episcopal Church. for Natives. The Catholic Church also holds ser vices for the Natives.
 At Pilgrim Hot Springs, about 60 miles from Nome, the Catholic Church maintains an orphanage for ! the Natives.
 At these hot springs, almost ev-

 Navigation opens at Nome about

 While the population of this re-
 zion has fallen off materially-the
 direct result of inadequate means of transportation development
 of this section has only begun. Big
 capital is now becoming interested in many sections in spite of the en-
 ormous cost of operations. The
 richness of the district permits op- erations in many lines of endeavor
 a handsome profit. notwithstand- ing the short season.
 We who have watched the camp
 emerge from a stampede camp to
 a steadily developing maturity and
 reality, realize that Nome is here
 to stay. The history of the camp
 is rich in romance, adventure and
 tradition, The town and it's envir- ons has produced some big men and will continue to do so in an in- creasigly marked degree.
 We love our old Nome and We be- lieve that she has many wonderful years of activity ahead Of her, and that her best days are yet to come.

VETERAN REMEMBERS
EARLY CIVIL WAR DAYS

c.. F. Blaich, S3 year old civil
war veteran, in discussing the
tenth anniversary of Americas en-
trance into the world war was re-
minded of scenes in st. Louis,
which was then his home city in
80 and 81. He was then a boy
of 16. The city of st. Louis was
evenly divided in sympathy be-
tween the north and south. Fami-
lies were divided against them
selves and bitter resentment grew
up between men who were former
ly fast friends. The Federal flag
foated over a building that served
during the presidential election of
1860 as campaign headquarters for
the Bell and Everett ticket. Jack
son. governor of the state, proved
himself loyal.
General Lyon, Union officer in
charge of the arsenal at st. Louis,
consented to drill a company OF
boys of about young Blaich's age.
All were fired with a great am
bition to enlist, as soon as they
reached an age that made it pos
sible. They Whitfield out for them
selves wooden guns. Some lively
encounters took place between
them and companies of boys of op-
posite sympathies. Mr.. Blaich re-
calls that General Lyon was killed
at the battle of Wilson's Creek.
The year following these incidents
young Blaich went to Cincinnati,
to escape his parents objections.
and there enlisted, serving in many
of the big engagements including
Sherman's march to the sea and
was mustered out when peace was
declared
