D. Cochran, who left Nome via plane recently for Fairbanks on business. The letter contains several interest ing items, many of which refer to the doings of former Nomeites. Bernie M. Stone, editor and man ager of the Fairbanks News-Miner, has been quite sick and his assist ant Editor Tewksbury has been getting out the paper. When shown a copy of the Nugget mimeograph paper issued after the fire, Mr. Tewksbury was much interested in it and republished several articles from it. The w.eather has been ideal here since I arrived, three days after leaving Nome. We made three at tempts to get over the divide into the Yukon but it was too thick to attempt to go through it and we sat down at Unalakleet and waited there a couple of days for it to clear. I stopped with Charley Traeger and I think that I am safe in saying that he has the finest liv ing quarters of any one on Seward Peninsula. I enjoyed greatly my stay there and had the pleasure of meeting several people that I knew only by reputation. Around the hotel here I see John Estleman, who has been working for the F.E. company, Harry Owen who is also working for the same company, Cap Ansen likewise em ployed. Also Attorneys John L. McGinn, H. N. Castle, Charles Tay lor, Judge E. Coke Hill, and many other old timers from the Seward Peninsula. Charley Brower and his son came over with Percy Hubbard a couple of days ago and was to go from here to Point Barrow via Wiseman. But none of the flyers will go there at this season of the year. So Char ley and his boy are leaving next Thursday morning for Seward and San Francisco. I have a case set for trial here on the 19th of this month and will be' here until it is disposed of. After it is finished I will probably go on outside, though its possible I may come back to Nome. It is gratifying to learn that the building program is going forward.

I saw the account of your recent fires in the News-Miner and was told about them by Charley Brow er. I should think that town over there had had enough fires for a while. Last evening the fire alarm was sounded here and I looked out of my window in the hotel and saw the fire department stop just on the corner across the street from us, so I began to look around for my grips to pack up. But nothing came of it and I settled down again. Bob Mackey, formerly with the Hammon Company at Nome, is liv ing out on Esther Creek and I have not yet seen either he nor Mrs. Mac key. He is in charge of the drilling operations on that creek for the F. E. Company. I see the Wm. Arthurs family nearly every day, they are doing well and are very comfortably sit uated. Mrs. Arthurs is not very well. Mrs. E. B. Collins, the wife of Mayor Collins, passed away at the hospital here Friday. I have known Mr. Collins very welj since 1921, he and I having been together in the legislature at Juneau. I met her going out last winter. She was a very prominent and highly re spected lady in the division. I meet our old friend Abe Simson every day and visit him frequently in his store. He asked me about the Nugget and its editor. I sure enjoy receiving the Nome Daily Nugget via plane. Very Sincerely Yours, O. D. COCHRAN Cold Wave Hits Cascade Mts.

Office 1st Ave. and Stednian NOME, ALASKA. -oifc- —-i_ ALASKA STEAMSHIP CO. NOME *• , AN OPEN LETTER NOVEMBER 7th, 1934. TO THE PEOPLE OF NOME : Believing it is pardonable, we take pride in bringing to your attention the service we have given over a period of many years to Nome, and particularly the service given you since the disastrous fire which destroyed practically all of ,this city’s business section. Within -twenty four hours after the fire started our fast steel cargo ahd passenger steamer the S. S. Dellwood, was on berth ready to receive cargo for Nome. She was loaded with all dispatch and when ready was sailed from Seattle to Nome. Immediately the S. S. Dellwood sailed, another of our steel car go steamers, the S. S. Depere, was put on berth to take care of all the overflow cargo of the S. S. Dellwood’s and to accept any new cargo offered. We want to particularly point out the speed with which these ships were loaded and sailed. Upon arrival here the two vessels discharged their cargoes with all dispatch and have now returned to Seattle. The United States Government gave to Nome for emergency relief purposes the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. The ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY, in cutting their freight rates in half, contributed practically the same amount. With that, this company, if it could be possible, gave even more prompt and better service than ever before. This service was badly needed to help recon struct Nome before winter weather set in. It was given gladly and whole heart edly and we are proud that we did give it. 4 To give Nome people full opportunity to order needed goods, after all other steamers had sailed for Nome, our S. S. VICTORIA sailed later than she for mapy years past. She has discharged her cargo for Nome and is now nearing Seattle, the termination of her voyage. Nome, rising Phoenix like from the ashes, is an exemplication of the spirit of the far north showing the will to conquer under the hardest of con ditions. We are proud to be associated with you and to have had a part in the re building and reconstruction of a bigger and better Nome. We are proud to have had such an extensive part in this work and we would like to compliment you upon your integrity, your spirit, your strong heartedness, and place with it the sincere hope that you will never again be stricken as of this recent fire. Most sincerely, ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY Jas. P. Daly, Agent. . , * H- v - r
