Entered in the Post Office in Nome as 2nd Class Matter MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS A REQUEST As part of the Commun ity celebration of theChrist mas season one of the San ta Claus trees has been plac ed and decorated in the door yard of the Federated church parsonage. As the lights have been tampered with and lamps stolen, this statement is a request and appeal to everyone in No me to join the Committee in permitting this beautiful symbol to be undisturbed nereaiter. Editorial Comment—The above item draws from us nothing but disgust for the type of person who will de liberately tamper with or steal things connected with a beautiful display of Chris tmas decoration. In past years electrically decorat ed Xmas Trees have never been tampered with and have gone unmolested. Attention is called to the public to please desist from any practice such as this. It is both degrading and highly insulting to the peo ple of Nome that such an occurrence should take place.

The ship swung sideways with the lurch. The entire procedure oc curred more rapidly than it takes time to tell, but he was sprawled in the top of a wave just away from the ship’s stern lee quarter and the Eskimo’s rail passed un der him for an instant, just long enough to allow him to catch it and hang on. He Clings to Stern He hung on desperately, weathering the rush of the water leaving the deck as the stern rose in the next swell, and then pulled him self to safety. By that time men from the pilot house had reached his side and the ship’s engine had been stopped. Olson was helped to the galley to recover from the mishap. Except for a blow on the face that he encoun tered somewhere in it all, he suffered no more than a thorough ducking.

Second Avenue, NOME, ALASKA HAVE YOU I KIED CO MAX COAL ? COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of Mr. II. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit ed Nome last summer. After investigating local conditions Mr. Plom mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro duced facts showing considerable saving compar ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely high in heating value, and because of its strong coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend ed that this coal should be used except in those places where a healthy draft is available, and in this regard it should not be inferred because the draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere that can be consumed with the coal, the better the results.
