Nome this. the second anniversary of the fire of 1884, has experienced more real and actual develop ment and progress than had known for fifteen years prior to the blaze. Crooked streets alleys and dapi- dated houses are all removed Nome now shows fine wide streets straight through the business district also streets and sidewalks through the residential sections. Ninety-fve percent of the merchants who were wiped out in the fire firmly established in business houses and looking forward to busy winter season following most successful mining sea- son at Nome and all over the Seward Peninsula.
 New businesses have come to Nome opened their doors and assisting in development and rapid pro- gress of this city from the day when its entire business district reduced to ashes September IT, 1884 New buildings, sidewalks, modern lighting and power sys- temS, fire mains, sewerage accommodations and etc. now make Nome modern little city located on the north shores of Bering Sea.
 With its stable population increased nearly fifteen percent since 1884, Nome has just started it's detern- ed march toward prosperity. The winter following the fire and last winter were serious conditions for the business life of Nome due to lack of housing accomoda- tons which caused many people to spend the past two winters in the States. Now however at least fifty new homes have been constructed several apartment build ings great many business buildings in which their owners have homes, and all being direct influence to cause the people of this section to remain in Nome dur ing the winter
 With the advanced price of gold at thirty-fve dol lars per ounce nearly the entire population has become gold mining conscious. This has been the great aid in bringing Nome and Seward Peninsula to the front in gold production. The entire country surrounding Nome for hundreds of miles, sees scenes which had disappeared from this country 20 years ago, that of miners prospecting, draglines gouging out pay dirt, dredges eating up yardage hydraulic operations going on in nearly every creek within sight of Nome and

Dedicated to the fullest development
of childhood's latent powers, the school
is guided by Miss Mabel Smith, former
Columbia University instructor, who
believes in discovering and developing
each individuals strong points rather
than attempting to make pupils con-
form to conventional standards.
How well she has succeeded is at

the Montgomery Blair Senior High
School, who enrolled his boy at Park
side rather than permit him to attend
a neighborhood school in Washington.
In five months the lad has learned
to read books commonly used in the
second grade.
Miss Smith has divided the pupils
into three groups, occupying the three
rooms OF the new building and taught
by the three teachers. The first group,
which has had no previous schooling,
is responding readily to the original
methods employed in the school. The
others have required time to "unlearn"

There was complete absence of in.

errors, but these "are not believed to
have any bearing on the accident"
Three Reasons Advanced.
The department said probably one
of the three following occurrences,
or something similar, caused g change
in the low-fying path of the plane
just before the crash:
Possibly passenger was being
shown the pilots compartment, and
in, some way the pilots vision was
restricted; or the plane dropped sud-
denly into the trees when full gas
tank was switched on from an empty
one; or the co-pilot perhaps, alone at
the controls, having less experience
than the pilot may have become mo-
mentarily confused due to some minor
dificulty."
The report added, however. that
while the evidence does not support
a statement as to the exact nature Of
this occurrence" 1t pointed to the con-
clusion that this could have been
easily and safely corrected had the
plane been flying at suficient alti.
tude."
For the last 13 miles Of the flight,
1t was established that the plane was
flying lower than previously, but "the
evidence is not sufficiently reliable" to
determine whether it was under the
5oO-foot minimum requirement OF the
air regulations.
