 ASKED FOR NOME

long deliberation by the authori- ties.
 To meet this vital situation, the following suggestions were made: FIRST-That a Divisional High School be established in Nome to serve the urgent needs of the en- tire Seward Peninsula; and where,
 in addition to the regular High
 School course as now carried out, an entire course in industrial train
 ing be also established. In order
 to make this advancement in the
 present high school it would be
 necessary to have one or more additional teachers so that the
 staff, thus augmented, would be
 prepared to take care of all the students that would come here from the outlying sections.
 SECOND-In order that the students who will doubtless come to the Nome Divisional High School, may be properly housed i and taken care of under the super vision of the School Board and with the usual restrictions and charges generally obtaining in
 similar institutions of learning elsewhere. that a suitable dormi- tory be built where these students can be safely and comforta bly
 housed To enable Alaska to fol-
 low the high example set by the States with vocational training given almost everywhere. so that
 the boys and girls of this division be afforded opportunity to ad-
 vance along the lines suggested, it
 was pointed out that the only way this desirable end can be accom-
 plished, would be by enlarging the sphere of the Nome High School
 The present limited and discon- nected educational system has been a potent factor in loss of popula- tion during past years.
 The petition was passed unan- imously at the meeting of the Chamber referred to.
The Nome nugget., 1929-03-30

At a recent meeting of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce, held at the offices of the Nome Mines Inc, very com prehensive program for the better ment of conditions generally in Nome and the outlying districts, was thoroly discussed, and, im- mediate steps were taken to se- cure the necessary Territorial backing and aid so that action can be taken at the earliest possible moment to put the different schemes outlined into effect.
 A petition was drawn up ad- ressed to the Ninth Alaska Legis- lature requesting and strongly urg- that body to take such action as may be necessary to establish an institution of higher and vocation al education in the Second Division and to make such appropriation of Territorial funds as may be necessary and sufficient for this purpose. Briefly the petition pointed out the fact that altho Nome has high school we'll staff ed and equipped and where high standard of education was main tained, it but serves the needs of the boys and girls of this town only, and that outside of Nome in the outlying districts there are a great many students who keenly desire and are in real need of higher education but are denied this privilege. Many of these students are children of mixed blood, who are, no doubt, destined to form very important part of Alaska's population; and should be given every encouragement to fit themselves to make better living. In times gone by some of them were given the privilege of education at Chemawa Indian School: but due mainly to the fact that the change of climate had a bad effect on students from the North, this school has now been c!"se6 to Alaska children after

fled amount be loaned to such par ties out of the above fund at a rate of interest not to exceed the rate which the Territory receives from institutions where the Terri tory's money is on deposit.
 That in no case should the Ter ritory loan to any one person or organization sum greater than the amount which such person has of his own to put into the busi- ness. That the Governor of the Territory should appoint a Board to have charge of the handling of above money. That the Board to- gether with the Governor shall make such rules and regulations in the handling of said money which will safeguard the interests of the Territory. That the fund shall be revolving fund. so that when loans are repaid, the money goes back into the fund and be available for other loans under the same conditions.

That all parts of Alaska are particularly adapted to the raising of fur bearing animals and that the furs produced in this Northern Territory are of the highest quality and command top prices in the fur markets of the world. That it is most important to the Territory to giv. lid and assistance in the development of tie Industry of fur farming

The short course, with night and day classes, during three of the Winter months to be determined later, would, it is thought, meet the needs of this division such classes to be conduct cd at Nome by one of the staff of ihe Mining Department of ti" Col lege. It was therefore unanimous ly resolved that the ninth Alaska Legislature be petitioned to add an appropriation to the annual Col lege appropriation to cover the cost of such work. A copy Of this resolution was sent to the Committee on Mining of the ninth Alaska Legislature and to each of the members of the Legislature from the Second Division so that they will use their best efforts to secure the needed appropriations.

Nome, Alaska, Jan. l. 1929
 We recommend that the road from the beach to the Lost River Tin Mines be rehabiliated by con- structing a bridge, approximately 150 feet across Lost River, and two side cuts to enable the road to get out of the River in the rough places. We advise that this road get the very earliest attention after the breakup as the crushing mill and other mining machinery, lumber and other essentials neces- sary for the construction of well developed plant will arrive on the first boat and will have to be transported over this road this coming summer. Mir. Macintosh the General Superintendent advices us that he will furnish free camps and also free transportation to the road crew during the construction work on this road.
 We further recommend your ac- tivity in putting the Monochrome road in such good condition; also your action in extending this road farther into the Interior. as we know from personal knowledge that it not only benefits the Os- borne Dredging Company, which this past summer built a dredge On Osborne Creek,but also we will recommend, however, that instead of running the road from the mouth of Osborne Creek to St. Michael Greek, to join your road that was built this summer from St. Michael Creek to No. 13 Os. borne, that the proposed road leave the Nome-Fort Davis road some where around Cunningham Creek and run directly north across coun- try to St. Michael Creek. Our reasons for this are as follows:
 That it would open up six differ ent creeks, namely-Irene Creek.
