REDUCTIONS

Alfred J Lomen, local manager of the Arctic Transport Company. informs us that he has been in correspondence with the Seattle office Of that company relative to a general reduction in freight rates for the coming season
 The management of the com pany feels that such cut is con sistent with the general depres sson prevailing throughout the world at the present time. which causes a reduction in the price of all mmodities as well as a general reduction in wages. A lower tariff, the Company believes, will materially benefit Northwest ern Alaska, increasing its welfare and prosperity. This move will certainly be appreciated and will 10 doubt be rewarded by extra tonnage which will more than com pensate the Company for the re- ductjon it is making.
 The Seattle office of the Arctic Transport Company is now pre- paring new tariff, MT. Lomen in forms us, in line with the above. and this will shortly be mailed to all inter ed parties in North western Alaska.
 The Arctic Transport Comp.nv is deserving of liberal support in aamuch as it is with us the year round, is composed of local peo- nle and spends it's money here: it operates the only ocean-goin- vessels that have Nome as their home port The fact that the ton mage tax of these vessels is paid into our city treasury means that individual taxes are lowered con- sderably; every taxpayer is in directly enjoying a small annual dividend from this corporation.

INSPECTOR
 ARRIVES AT NOME

Captain E E Mouton. of Los Angeles. Supervising Aeronautical Inspector embracing the territoT- ics and states of northern C2lfor- mia, Oregon, Washington, lAaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada. and Alaska arrived Nome the early part of the week. to inspect all planes and pilots in this section.
 Incidentally Capt. Mouton's pur- pose in personally making the in Spections thru Alaska at this time is 10 gain first hand informal ion concerning the problems and meth ods of carrying on comm ercial av- iation in Alaska.
 Capt. Mouton said, that despite many reports to the contrary, he found the equipment and person mel of the Northern Air Trans port Inc. of Nome. to be in Al condition. With the exception of "a few minor reports and changes necessary. brought about by reg ulations introduced in the immed- fate past, no alterations or set backs were experienced
 An inspection of the Laiblin and Graham plane showed the ship to be in first class condition. and every thing ship shape and according to "Hoyle"
 Archie Ferguson was granted a private pilots license to fly. Archie came down here from Ko+- zebue flying his own plane to take the test for his pilots license. A secondary purpose in mind, Captain Mouton, is making gen. eral or cooperative surrey. with the special request in mind of Col onel Macintosh of the 9th Air Corps Iot the II z Army. who wishes a report on aviation in Alaska, pre- paratory to equipping and dis patching squadron Of army i planes 10 Alaska for eNnerimenta- Ition and strategical purposes. This appears to be right in line with the endeavors of the Northwest prn Alaska Chamber of Commerce. which has been advocatinc the stHtioning Of an army air squad ron in Alaska for the past thr"" years.
 Captain Mouton, who is new to Alaska and the uorthla1d. s'at that he was really pleased a the showing made ny tha commercial aviation company's in Alaska, talk ing into consideration the great handicaps and extreme conditions under which flying has bean car ried on in this country.

BANDITS WHO SHOT
TWO ARE PURSUED
100 Possemen Chase Seven
Across Western Michigan
After Looting Bank.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLAND, Mich, September 90
Seven bank robbers, armed with sub
machine guns, twice eluded a posse
of 100 men near here this morning and
were reported in full flight through
Western Michigan after looting the
First State Bank here Of between $l0,-
600 and $4,000 and wounding two men.
The bandits were halted temporarily
near Drenthe by the posse. but broke
away after opening fire with their sub
machine guns. State police and armed
citizens then pursued them to swamp
near Jamestown, west of here, but again
they eluded them and sped west, closely
pursued.
Nearly 100 shots were fired by the
fugitives in their two encounters with
the posse.
Hold Up Truck.
Surrounded by a posse near Drenthe
as they sped from the scene OF the
hold-up in a Communicated automobile
the bandits held up truck driven by
George Boerman, a farmer, turned the
truck crosswise in the highway and
opened fire on the posse with sub
machine guns.
Members of the posse took refuge be-
hind farm house and kept up run
ming fire, but the bandits dashed to
their automobile and sped away.
They were pursued by nearly 100
men.
Boerman, who was uninjured when
the bandits halted his truck, said one
of the men had been wounded and
was bleeding freely.
Have Three Submachine Guns.
The bandits said by posse members to
possess at least three submachine guns.
wounded Peter Lievense, chief of police,
and Peter De Young. As. bystanoer.
Chief Lievense was not wounded seri-
ously, but physicians said De Young
probably was critically injured.
Ten employees and customers in the
bank at the time of the hold-up were
forced to lie on the floor while the
bandits seized all the available cash.
