K. K. K. PAGEANT
 WAS GREAT SUCCESS


 The Nome Kennel Klub Karnival, the first of it's kind ever staged in Nome or any part of Alaska, was a great success. The parade start ed at noon today and consisted of 26 different numbers many of which | were beautiful floats, drawn by dog teams. Hundreds of people lined the thoroughfares along the line of march and a spirit of op- timism prevailed throughout the city.
 Even the dogs were good natur- ed and seemed to sense that they were on parade and were going to have moving pictures taken of themselves, besides the array of camera fans who snapped and shot pictures right and left. Harry Phillips. representing the movie end of the game had his rands full 'aklng pictures of this unique af- fair. which will be reproduced on the screens all over the United States. This feature alone will give Nome and it's winter sport t great impetus in advertising next years All-Alaska Sweepstakes Race. which the Kennel Club plans on.
 The pageant pullec of today will henceforth probably become an an- nual affair and grow better with each years experience. Too much credit cannot be given the commit tees in charge, ard to those taking part. and to the prepa ration of the floats which also deserve much praise.
 Owing to the parade taking place this afternoon and the length of time consumed in taking nov ies, etc, we are unable to give special mention to each float or number, and get same printed in todays paper. However, we wish to state that all were worthy of special mention and we are. only sorry we have not the time to do so.
 The pageant held this afternoon was prelude to the Carnival to be given tonight at Large Eagle Hall. under the auspices of the Nome Kennel Club. A large mum. Der of tickets have been sold in advance which insures a bumper attendance. A dance run along the jitney style will be the order to- night, and numerous booths ar. ranged around the hall will cater to the wants of the crowd. A fea- ture will be the awarding of prizes to the winners of the last two dog races as well as to those who won prizes in the pageant.
 Everybody Is requested to leave their dogs tied mp tonight and stop barking and snapping at each other when they meet. One of the at- fractions at the Carnival tonight in honor of dogdom, will be the serving of "hot dogs" without the usual glass Of beer that used to be so relished fin the old days. Any one that can distinguish what dogs were caught by the pound master the past week will receive special prize. The only thing we know is that number of dogs were put in jail and just whose dogs they were and what has become of them. is question. Anyhow. you will have to go tonight in order to re- ally appreciate and enjoy the many good things that have been arrang- ed for your pleasure. The genera! to the Carnival is the price of 50 cents. Do your bit and be there.
 The "JAZZHOUNDS" will p;.y for the dance.

LAGUNA ROAD SET BACK

Imperial Valleys hopes for aid from San Diego
county IN constructing road to the Lagunas from this
SIDE OF the mountain have received setback the sup
efVsors OF the coast county abng action on the re-
quest that San Diego join with Imperial in raising $50
900 to build the road
The supervisors declared that San Diego is with
out funds at this time to make the necessary appropri
atlon This OF course is disappointing. 1t was hoped
that each county might contribute $4,000 to provide
the necessary funds.
However, the road to the Lagunas, turning off the
state highway at Laguna Junction, is to be widened
the government having made appropriation OF
SICO000 to San Diego county for this purpose, the
county contributing $4,000. This will eliminate the
present one way road the only at present for
reaching this beauty spot Of the mountains.
1t looks as though, il Imperial county wants
quick road into the LagunaS it will have built by
funds raised on this side OF the mountains
Those sponsoring the movement for this road are
enthusiastic about itan enthusiasm that would
tainly be widespread throughout the valley if more
residents here could be brought to realize just what
this mountain resort means-hat it is to be hoped they
may yet find way for getting the necessary funds.
AS part Of the road will be in San Diego county,
it would seem though it should share part of the
expense. However Imperial Valley will benefit most
by the road and it is up to solve the problem of
financing
