2. To give liberal srprrrt to the public schools.

and oppose the present system of giving preference to locali
ties not primarily engaged in mining.

City of Nome and for the construction of an adequate Coast
Guard Station in N.me fitted with modern aerial and sea

12. We strongly oppose the appointment of any but bona fide Alas

13. We believe that the present condition under which vast areas
of patented mining ground is not being worked, is detrimental
to the mining interests of the Territory.
14. To work for the enactment of legislation that will not only clari
fy the existing mining laws and obviate the present conflict of
opinion in the construction of their provisions, but also give to
the mine worker adequate protection against injury to his life
and health.
Our personal interests and future depend upon the continued
ftrosperity of this part of Alaska, and if elected we will be respon
sible to the people of the Second Division for all of our actions as
members of the Alaska Legislature and will work together for
Abe best interests of Alaska and especially the Second Division.

A thunder and lightning storm
accompanied by a down pour of
rain visited Nome at 2 o’clock
this morning continuing for over
an hour. Residents were awak
ened from their slumbers by the
heavy thuds of thunder and the
flashes and bolts of lightning
were the most severe ever heard
in Nome. No damage resulted but
the abundance of rain will be a
great help to the mining men on
the creeks.
G. R. Jackson of the Miners &
Merchants Bank is in receipt of
a letter from Toronto, Canada,
conveying the news that Edw. J.
Fox died their recently at the
home of his sister. It will be
recalled by readers of the Nug
get that Mr. Fox was interested
in a “Lost mine” in the Kouga
rok section, and did odd jobs of
watch repairing during his sev
eral years of residence in and
around Nome.

Because he had been naughty
Willie’s mother had decreed that
he should not go to the movies to
see the usual Saturday afternoon
western thriller. Willie however,
had been studying current events
at school and did not intend to
give up without a struggle.
“You have no constitutional
right to do this mother”, he said
"Why not?” asked his parent.
“Because you are exercising
rule without consent of the gov
erned.”

"You say the Standard
Tanker will stop at
YOUR OWN DOCK?”
Unheard of! Nobody in Alaska ever
dreamed of such petroleum delivery service
—right at his “own front door”—until the
Standard Oil tanker “George Loomis’*
went into action in 1917.
This ship carried a full line of Standard
Oil Products, brought regular department
store service to her customers up and down
the Alaska coast. Bulk storage soon took
the place of armies of oil drums — fire
hazards went down—money was saved all
along the line!
To this day Standard Oil Company of.
California is the only oil company with
tanker service exclusively for Alaska. An
other reason why most Alaska industry
depends on Standard!
