Across the street in what was form erly the w Rowe Transfer offices, is located the M. & M. Bank, G. R. Jackson president. A few yards along is the present location of the Polet Stores and warehouses.
 John Ebberle veteran harness maker and pioneer of Nome is To- cated in the same place, near the Lomen Commercial Co.
 Another block along is the offices, dock, warehouses and freight sheds of the Lomen Commercial Company. with the large coal pile further out on the tundra. And below this is the electric power plant of the North ern Light and Power Company.
 Most of the buildings in the burned area section of Nome are today two story buildings. although numerous one story structures are to be ob served.
 The Masonic Order is now located in the former St. Marys Episcopal Church on Stedman Avenue.
 The Nome Laundry, Joe Amarok, is now located up Stedman Avenue above the Catholic church. This section of Nome was in no danger during the fire.
 A line drawn through Nome would trace the limits of the fire as fol- lows: Beginning at the railroad track on Front Street, the lines would proceed up to First Ave, to the left of the sheet iron building on the west side of the track, thence up to Second Avenue, just missing the home of Kenneth Rude From there it would extend along Second Aven- ue to Hogan's Alley-down Hogan's Alley a few feet, and thence over to Kings Way and then down to First Avence along side of the Office of Indian Affairs Building. It would then jump to the south side of First Avenue and continue up as far as C Street, just few feet south of the Federated Church. It then would proceed to First Avenue West on the South side and continue to D Street where the fire was stopped, the last building to be destroyed along this line being the home of MT and Mrs. Wilfred Boucher.
 All territory within this restrict ing line was destroyed completely by the fire More than eleven blocks of buildings, real property and per Sonal belongings were entirely con- sumed by the blaze. Not one build ing remained even partially stand ing in the area encompassed by the 1 fire.
 The dead spectre of seven vaults, the morning after the fire were all that raised their heads above the level of the ground-a more devas tating fire than had ever been seen in Nome.
 No attempt is made to trace the path of the blaze as it progressed |

 Across the street is another new building occupied by Mrs Alice Jour dan. On the Corner of First Ave nue and Stedman is the office and radio station of the Pacific Alaska Arways constructed last fall Adj joning the ARC garage is the new Alaska Road Commission offices, up- stairs being occupied by the U. S. Reindeer Service.
 Up Stedman Avenue one block are the homes of Bert Stormfelt2 and wife, and Kenneth Rude and wife, a little further along. Mrs Rude is in the Women's apparel bus iness known as Mildred's Shoppe.

from the Golden Gate Hotel, it's ori- gin. Today any statement as to which side of the street it jumped to first in it's progress through the business district would be disputed. It is doubtful if any two persons in Nome could agree as to the manner in which the flames jumped from building to building as the fire ate its way for nearly half mile thru town We leave that to our read CTS to argue about.
 The exciting days of September IF, Is, l9 and 20 when reorganization plans were discussed and emergency measures taken to house and feed the population are somewhat dimm- ed but today one can hear almost any place in the city-"Well! a year ago on this date, the town was burn ing to the ground Remember how we tried to save this and that and etc, etc, and 50 Far into the Night"
 In many respects last winter was hard period for everyone to pass. PrivationS of living, hardships of one kind and another beset many of the people; but with the coming of summer, reorganization of business and the building of homes, and busi ness houses, a brighter and more cheerful city has been the result
 It is fitting at this time that tri- bute be paid to the many cities in Alaska and the States, who voiced their sorrow and support by offer ing their assistance in helping to re- lieve distress and suffering in Nome, besides relief organizations and the work of the government in making it possible to cleanup the debris and begin the work immediately of re- mobilization. ....
 To every token of help and assist ance offered-and many were accep- ted out of dire necesSity-let us voice the first public thanks and appreciation ever to be accorded to the helpful ones.
 Reorganization of city functions has recently begun-negotiated thru the Public Works Administration loan and grant with the City of Nome in the sum of not to exceed $lOO,OOO,OO.
 It is impossible to go into details of the loss incurred by the fire but it has generally been accepted that $2,000, ,00000 would not have covered it.
 This story is offered as a survey of the situation as it now appears, with slight deviations to take into account, what happened during the past year from September IT, 1884 to September IF, 1885. It has been impossible to cover every new build ing constructed and remodeled in the city but in case there are some which would be interesting to note, that we have overlooked, the Nome Daily Nugget, located on Second Avenue West, next door to the La vina Wallace Young Methodist Mis- sion, invites notes on new buildings being carried on or already complet- ed in Nome

Martha Verblun swept the dishes left by the last patron off onto her oval black tray in delft, capable sweeps. She walked briskly through the swinging door, set the tray on the dishwasher's sink and walked into the employees washroom.
 She examined herself in the square, white-framed mirror. and patted her waving cOpper-colored hair as though 1t were not already smooth beneath the white starched crown. From a tiny compact she drew a midget powder puff and gently rubbed the shine off tilted nose. She stood off and squinted at the deep blue uniform. No, there were no wrinkles in it.
 Satisfied at last that she looked her best, she smiled. This was her last night as waitress at the Bide and Bite cafe. one of a chain of restaurants owned by a MT Fiar- tree.
 She remembered again MT San derson's words early this morning:
 we shall be sorry to lose you Miss Verblun, but our record shows that tomorrow you will be forty. And Mir Fiartree feels that it is good policy to please the public by serving their tables well and with young women to do the work"
 For a f1eeting second Martha felt tears stinging her fine gray eyes. It wasn't fair. Forty was not old. And she was still young look ing, and needed the job. Terribly.
 But it was only for a second. She wanted to look her best to- night so that the patrons she had served for two years might remem- Der her as she wished them to. AL ways smiling. Always efficient and pleasant. And if those stinging tears fell now she would not have time to erase their tracery. It was almost 6.
 Swiftly she turned and went back to the gay, green-gold dining room.
 Five of her regular customers came through the heavy glass en- trance door and made for the little mahogany partitioned booths rang ed along the wall.
 Quickly Martha took their or- ders, and disappeared through the swinging doors.
 Returning, she brought five sparkling water glasses wearing butter-plate hats, and observed two strangers talking to Mir Sanderson at the desk.
 Coming through the doors sec- ond time with trays of food skill fully balanced on capable hands, she found they had selected the last booth. A choice place to survey the whole dining room and still be un- observed.
 Shall I ask their names, as I al- ways do new patrons?" she ques-

Both returned her smile. one a small dark man, round and genial, with twinkling eyes and graying hair. The other was a trifie young CT, Martha judged, with still dark brown hair and eyes. And there was something vaguely familiar about him. She felt that she ought to know who he was.
 Would you gentlemen mind sgivI- I ing me your names?" She hasteneh to explain: q like to know our regular patrons names and try to make strangers feel welcome here." Her gray eyes smiled opea- ly out at them, caught the swift inscrutable look that passed be- tween them.
 The younger one smiled back: Stanley Norton," he said.
 And my friend MT -"
 smith" the other interposed | genially.
 Martha's heart hopped brightly. Stanley Norton; the Mir Norton who owned the Rose Marie night club. Why, perhaps he would | give her work. And as she hur- ried out to serve the hungry aval- anche streaming through the door she resolved to ask him. | Twice. in her rush through the heavy kitchen doors Martha paused | long enough to refill the water glasses in the last booth. She noted with satisfaction that, though they had finished their meal, they sat smoking, talking, just as they would have done in their own homes. I7'S .cf ,.s.
 Relentless minutes fled by. bring ing closer the Inevitable hour when she must go through the Bide and Bite doors for the last time. And if she could not get work from MT Norton. -. l Then they summoned her. Mar tha marshaled her courage. She must ask him now.
 But MT Smith rose and smiled at her in his genial way. Say lyoung woman, 8 little bit ago you asked our names; said you knew all the names of the regular pa- irons and tried to make them feel at home here. Well, now, turn about is fair play. I'd like to know your name"
 Martha smiled in pleased sur- prise and told him. Martha" he unused, "good old-. fashioned name. My wife's name" He cleared his throat.
 | "Now Miss Verblun, I've just bought the Rose Marie night club from MT Norton. And I'm looking for a good hostess. Some one who'll make my patrons there feel at home. Would you like the job?" Would I?" Martha's fine eyer glowed. "I'd love it." And then suddenly the glow died away. May be he wouldn't want her either if he knew she was 40 tomorrow. And she'd have to tell him. Oh. If only she didn't have to. From far away she heard her. self saying, "But I think I ought to tell you, I'm 40 tomorrow, MT | Smith,"
