Ellis's Statement
Pilot Bob Ellis's statement upon
arrival here this afternoon that
approximately IL blocks, encom-
passing all of the retail business
district of Nome is burned clean,
down to the earth, with little but
a few iron pipes sticking out here
and there and an occasional fire
proof safe slumping in the ashes, "
viii. visualize for those familiar
with Nome, the picture as it was
Wednesday morning when Ellis
scared away from it in the sea-
plane Pribilof, enroute to Juneau.
"The spirit of the people of
Nome is superb Mr.. Ellis said.
Everyone is working. Practically
all OF the debris in the business
district has been cleaned away, and
two or three temporary stores are
open for business in the burned
district. The other merchants are
doing business from the large light
|erage plants, where supplies are
stored, and which fortunately did
mot burn"
Old Shacks Occupied
Numerous previously unoccupied
shacks now house families and
individuals whose homes and living
places were burned, and as gen.
eral rule two families are living
together in the larger unburned
dwellings. No one is cold, without
shelter or stinted for lack of food,
Ellis said.
Considerable house furniture was
salvaged and as one Of the party
returning on the Pribilof, Mr.. c.
w. Matthews said, 1.-THE houses left
have two sets of furniture and two
families living in them"
Most everybody has planned on
rebuilding their business places and
homes and all most Of them seem
to want is some loan assistance
in this rebuilding, believing that
with this help plus whatever Gov
eminent and municipal construc-
ton was done they could work
their way to recovery"
