Movement Afoot Revive Chamber
 Commerce Nome

The meeting, Wednesday, called by a group of business men and others. who were evidently dis satisfied with the inactivity of the Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce, resulted in a concerted effort to revive the local Chamber, which it was charged had fallen behind and did not have the support of Nome ties"
 Several speakers criticized a tentative move to organize an- other body and disregard the local chamber, saying that what the Chamber needed was new blood. They pointed out if pub lie support were gained for the organization it could again be placed on the active list, and strongly advocated that everyone present become members, large percentage of whom did not be- long to the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce.
 Principal point of contention was that while the local chamber undoubtedly carried on negotia- tions outside of Nome, it had fail ed miserably as a local organiza- ton, due to the lack of interest.
 With the appointment of a com mittee to sound out every person in Nome and awaken their inter- est in the Chamber, those present felt they had taken step for ward in bringing about closer CO., operation of merchants and oth- CTS in the city, and were on the way to rejuvenating the Cham Der and making it live-wire or ganization, They will meet again next Wednesday to listen to the report of the committee.

Two exciting games gave Wen nesday's baseball fans plenty to talk about. A nervous Huskiette team yielded l2 runs in the fifth inning after leading the Alaskans most of the. way, but tied up the score again in the first of the 7th, only to yield the winning run a few minutes later. The High School marred their excellent base running and field play by occasional errors. The Alaskans consistent hitting and steady field ing earned the margin of victory.
 The Hammon-Commercial game furnished the usual fireworks. Overcoming four-run lead in the seventh, the Hammons forced an overtime play-off of the tie. A lone Commercial score in the first half of the eighth proved too much for Hanmons and the game was over.
 The score was 13 to l2, giving the Commercials second place in the league standings.

The program at the Federated Church last night, sponsored by the Drama Club, was enjoyed by large audience. Zona Gales one act play, the Neighbors", coach ed by Mrs. Jack Jefferd was ex- cellently done, and a credit to the cast. The play brought a real message, that the way to be hap py is to forget about ourselves and our aches and pains and our troubles, and start thinking and doing for someone else.
 The play was preceded by sev- eral other numbers. Rev. Vincent Widney played two trumpet solos. Wilbur Arnold sang two solos. Bjorna Olson also sang two num- bers. Dan Jones gave a recita- ton. All of these were much ap- preciated by the audience.
 After the play the benches were moved aside and refreshments were served. Heaps of delicious cookiesmany of them heart shap- cd in keeping with Valentines Day, appeared on the serving table, along with coffee and cocoa.
 Everyone went home feeling that the evening rad been we'll spent, and looking forward to the next event to be sponsored by the Drama Club.

been unemployed since January /.
Many of the applicants did not have
valid claims to begin with, because
they had not worked for covered en-
blowers, or had not worked enough to
set UP the required wage records, dur
ing the first three quarters of 1887
the nine months on which the record
is based.
This estimate is based on the num-
Der Of claims on which the initial de-
termination" the decision as to wheth
er or not the claim is valid, and if so,
how much can be paid the worker
each week and for how long the pay
ments can continue, has been made.
The office has worked more than
100000 of these claims since January
i. The records show that about $1,000
pay orders have been prepared and
that about $4,000 checks have been
written, aggregating in amount about
100000. The checks average within
a few cents of $3.50 each. These esti-
mates are based on actual figures
through Thursday, when 42523
checks had been written, aggregating
$247 ,210.69 or an average of 1888 each.
The office in Raleigh is now set UP
So it can turn out about $500 checks
a day, and probably will be speeded
UP in short time, so it can turn out
probably 5000 checks a day. At this
rate, and unless unemployment be-
comes much more prevalent, the COM
mission should catch up with the pre-
parations and the actual mailing of
checks either this week or next. After
that time the checks should be going
out in time for delivery on the day
due the unemployed workers.

It would be difficult to think OF
anything requiring more nerve than
walking across Niagara Falls on
tight-rope.
Charles Blondin, whose real name
was Emile Gravele or Jean Granele,
was born in France ia years ago TO-
day. He walked across Niagara's
roaring waters on a 2,000-foot-long
tight-rope scores of times, and estab-
fishing himself as the greatest funam-
bulist of all time, beyond dispute.
Blondin decided upon attempting
the feat before he had ever seen Nj

in his plans after he had seen it was

The cable was anchored to railroad
car axles set in concrete. A small line
had been carried across the falls Dy

draw a larger line which in turn was
the means of placing the cable actu-
ally used for Blondon's amazing feat.
The cable had to be controlled against
air currents, of course, and this was
done with suspended sand bags and
with guy ropes attached to the shores

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Feb. ,2S.-Two North Car.
DINA forest fire wardens set out to
extinguish the aurora borealis a few
weeks ago, according to a story
they're telling around the Department
of Conservation and Development
lately.
1t seems the two gallant smoke eat
ers had just returned from fighting
real fire when they saw a bright
glow in the north whereupon thew
jumped in their forest fire fighting
truck and drove off madly to put out
the new blaze They kept driving, but
seemed unable to9catch up No telling
how far they would have driven if
Aurora hadn't decided to call it a
night and go to bed.
Dean I. 0. Schaub, of the State Col
lege Extension service, stresses the
fact that. all the meetings to be held
in connection with the cotton and to-
bacco referenda are not for the pur-
pose of influencing tho farmers votes
either for or against control.
1--WE want the farmer to hear from
those conducting the meetings jus
what the new program contains" he
said, land then we want him to vote
just as he sees fit
State Senator B. B. Blackwelder, of
Hickory, who frankly regrets he can't
run again this year because he found
legislative friendships highly pleasing,
was here for the Democratic State
Committee meeting and for session
of the building commission.
1--WE are going to have a fine new
office building" he commented as he
watched construction on the big struc
ture being erected across the street
from the Revenue Department.
"But do you know we're not going
to have room enough even when it's
completed" he added regretfully.
Latest political rumor with long
range 'implications-and it's always
easy to hear such rumors hereabout-
IS that .Wilnington's Mayor Thomas
e. Cooper hasn't any real designs on
the 1910 governors race. IT'S now re-
ported he is laying a course headed
for J. Bayard Clark's seventh district
seat in Congress this time, but
two years hence.
There's more than a little specula-
ton going on over the real reason for
the continuous irritation and bicker
ing between the State Liquor Board
and the county boards. Can it he that
"high-ups" in the administration
would like to see control get into gen
cral dispute.
