NOME hARBOR PROJECT LOOMS BIG

tudt oul HSul lo DeLteI Cohoitioh' in this part of the northland has been par tially answered. We will take for instance one subject, which we must all admit is vit- al one. the landing of coal and oil for fuel in our homes and for mining purposes. At the present price of fuel it is holding back the prospecting and development of our natural resources, whereas, if we could land fuel at Nome for one half the price, practically ev- cry miner who works for wages during the summer season would invest his earnings in grub and fael and go prospecting in the Fall and winter, instead of buying ticket on the last steamer and spending the winter in idleness in the stat es, returning again in the spring to earn enough to last him thru the next winter.
 This is the situation confront
 
 ing this section of Alaska. and the sooner We all see it from this angle the better it will be. Just as soon as the harbor entrance can be depended upon for a cer- tain draft boat or barge, just then we can expect to see lowering of freight and lighterage costs, and not until then. It is true that the present system of lighterins is not only costly to those engag- ed in the business, but it also is costly to the country as whole What will benefit the coun- try, will benefit everybody, and the present lighterage business will not suffer in any way, but will profit in the end, as well as the individuals. We believe We are safe in saying that the lighterage company is not against the i'm provement of the Nome harbor. but on the other hand, have done everything toward bringing it to a realization, regardless of the fact that they have at present many thousands of dollars invested in lighterage equipment in it's pre- sent location.
 With a harbor for the coastwise vessels to come and go at will, without the present day loss of time from one to two weeks, ana the opening of trade relations with Siberia once again. it would mean a turn over of busin, ss during the season of open navigation amount ing to from one to two million dollars worth, more business than We are enjoying at the present time Coal shipment could be made from Nenana direct to the Nome harbor at not to exceed s12.50 per ton. Just stop to think what his would mean in helping to keep miners in the country prospecting. It would re- tvolutionize the mining industry and who knows but what another third beach line or better would be located, and then on second thought. there is the quartz min es to be developed, which after all is said and done, are the real standbys of any mining camp, providing a steady payroll the year around.

NOME HARBOR IMPROVEMENT

lie news TtCelNeu lulS Weeh that Secretary of War Hurley had recommended to Congress that the existing project for the Nome har- bor be modified to provide for the dredging of an entrance and a depth of in the basin, eight feet, and an extension of the jetties, was good news to Nomeites.
 The chamber of commerce had asked for a resurvey of the har- bor project with the idea of pro- jecting the ietties further out to sea. which Congress after delibera- tion decided to appropriate a fund of 'S10,00O for preliminary sur vey. Two years ago an engineer was sent to Nome who conducted a survey of the proposed extension to the jetties. His report was made to his superior officers who in turn studied. over the feasibil- ity of making an extension to the jetties. After two years we find that the government engineers and officials at Washington have come to agree with the Chamber of Com merce that the jetties should be ext nded further into the sea.
 According to the recommenda- tions made by Secretary Hurley. the East jetty is to be extended six hundred and sixteen feet at a cost of two hundred and fifty three thousand dollars. with an addition al annual appropriation of twenty thousand dollars for maintenance purposes. Secty. Hurley also re commended that the west jetty be extended when found necessary, a distance of two hundred and six teen feet.
 Just what direction the east ietty arm will extend is not de- finitely known. however, it was known that the engineer in char ge of the survey had some idea that the extension arm of one of the jetties should be built on a curve either to the east or the west, in order to protect the en- trance to the harbor from the ac- tion of the surf and shifting sands. This was ans engineering problem to be studied out and we will not know until later on just what direction the extension will be made.
 Due to the fact that the recom- mendation has been made that the West jrtty may be extended later if need be, leads us to state that We believe that the extension or the East jetty will be on an el- bow turning toward the west, which naturally would protect the pre- sent end of the west jetty. we may be wrong in our theory or what the engineers have planned but owing to the fact that the publisher has been more or less connected with the engineer ana the Snake River project since it's beginning. We feel that we are in a position to draw conclusions.
 May mean new life to Nome
 What does this extension to the jetties mean to Nome and this er- penditure of money. is question that the average person is not ful- ly prepared to answer. But to those citizens who have spent the ! best years of their lives here, II means a great deal. It means

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 8
(NAN.A).-Just to prove to you that
the sun hasn't baked all the cynicality
out of us, there was lively exchange OF
money about the village following the
announcement of Vivian Duncan's mar
rage to Nils Asther yesterday.
Betting had been high in favor OF
no marriage coming of the announced
engagement. The know-alls believed
that the romance in print meant head
lines for Nils, who needed them badly.
In like manner nothing so keeps girl
In the foreground of activity, so far as
print Is concerned, as a nice fresh
romance.
Engagement announcements, black
ewes. threatened law suits, and then
marriage has kept La Vivian sole pro-
prietress of front-page interest for sew
eraI weeks.
Follows the slump But one can
always divorce or get into a lively mix
up which will land one safe and sound
and profitably back in the big bold
black type.
Funny men have the saddest time Of
all the Hollywood crew. Because 500
or so pictures are turned out Of here
every year and the necessity for wise
cracking and humorous remarks is par
amount in 499 99-100 of them.
Ralph Spence, writer of humorous
dialogue, has protected his interests in
this matter more thoroughly than any
member of the local guild. He has a
file valued at 100000. The system Is
file and cross-file of humorous gags
