Nome Nnggft Flays Revenue
Cn'ter Service
The Nome Nugget is hot after the
revenue cutter service ia Arctic wa- j
tors, which it characterizes as a farce.
In a recent editorial, commenting upon j
the letter, attacking whalers and rev
enue service, by E J. Knapp. who was ,
in charge of a mission school at Point :
Hope last winter, which has been gen
erally published, the Nugget 9ays:
"The revenue cutter service, so far as
those waters i< coccernad. is litt'.e bet
ter than no service at all. Indeed, it is
a fact that the revenue cutter officers i
do not wisb to be bothereu or hump- j
ered by having to devote a little time
to seeing that the laws are enforced
and the lawbreakers brought to punish
ment. They hive shown by their ac
tions that they do not care what havoc
the whalers work among the natives.
Their trips to Ik-ring sea and the Arc
tic are merely junketing excursions,
during which they may enjoy them
wives, and tr*de and traffic with the
natives as much as they please.
"The trip of the Bear to the Arctic
during the present season was little
more than a farce. It is alleged, and. we
believe the statement to be tree, that
Capt. Hamlet showed little disposition
to overtake the whaling vessels, which
it was charged carried hootch, and were
disposing of it to the natives. The
whalers had ample opportunity to get
out of the revenue cutter's way. There
are even worse stories than this told of
some of the Bear's officers, with truth
enough in the stories to demand that
the service in Bearing sea be given a
thorough shaking up."
RAILROAD BEING
COMPLETED fASI
The Alaska Central railroad has been '
completed, according to late advices, to
mile post 43. It will be completed to !
near the 4yth-mile post this fall. At
that place the first tunnel must be
bored, and it will not be completed un
til spring. Contracts have been let to
eon-plete the grading to the lOoth-mile
post and as soon as the tunnels shall
have been completed track lavirg over
that entire distance will begin.

AT StAULE
Nome's Exhibit Goes to Alas- [
ka Club
The exhibit of Nome at the Portland
fair will be placed on exhibition at the
Alaska Club in Seattle. Some of it
already has arrived.
In all there are more than three tons
of exhibits, consisting' of curios, quartz,
pay dirt, whalebone, specimens of pri
mitive weapons of the chase for both
land and water, totems, grasses and
other products oT Northwestern Alaska.
That portion of the exhibit wL-ich
possessed great intrinsic value, such as
gold bars and several tons of very rich
pay dirt, was returned to the owners.
However, there are a number of nug
gets and considerable gold dust in dis
play vials which were donated outright
to the exhibit and they will become a
portion of the permanent display which
the business men of Nome unanimously
agreed should be assembled at Seattle.

THE UGLY OCTOPUS.
[t la One of the Mont Repulsive tuid
Hideout* of Crcaturva.
A greedy, voracious, relentless crea
ture is the octopus, and a most forml
lable enemy even to man, (or It Is easier
to cut or tear off one of those terrible
long arms with its two rows of suck
ers than to Induce the creature to re
linquish any prey It has laid hold of.
These suckers also enable It to drag
Its body Into very narrow crevices,
from which scarcely any force will
lvall to remove It.
Like Its beautiful brother the argo
laut. It defies Its enemies by ejecting
Ink, but the octopus Is so subtle and
jlcver that ho can vary the color of his
nk according to the color of the ground
le Is passing over, and, as he Is very
ictlve and darts about at lightning
ipeed, he constantly escapes being
caught
He is an unsociable creature, appar
ently quite satisfied with his own so
:lety, as he roams about alone, seeking
what he may devour on rocky shores,
tvhere he may be met with of all sizes,
rarylng In leugth from an Inch to two
)r more feet.
The octopus has one very curious
lablt? when resting he colls up some
jf his arms into a semblance of the
shell of the argonaut? Pearson's Week

What does she ask for?

What does he give her?
A seven pound roast
Then does he charge her only for
what she asked for?"
No, Indeed. He charges her for what

Didn't the lady know what she want

Evidently the man dldu't think so.
Can't he tell the weight of a piece of
meat when he picks It up?
Certainly he can. Otherwise he would

Silkworm gut forms the best line for

loaves and before they begin to spir
they are thrown Into vinegar for set
??rai hours. Each insect Is killed, aurt
the substance which the grub iu thr
natural course would have spun into n
?oooon is forcibly drawn from the dead
worm Into a much thicker and shortei
silken thread.
The threads are then placed In pun
water for about four hours and after
ward dipped for ten minutes In a so
lutijn of soft soap. The fine outer
