Election politics are warming up
The number of candidates increases.
Probably all the present councllmen

So much and so urgent is tho bus
siness of the Chamber of Commerce
under the efficient and tactful
presidency of Antonio Polet that an
other meeting is to be held on Sun
day next.
The miners are kicking because
the law (Chap. 39) relating to re
cording of proofs of labor is not en
forced and why the government of
ficials do not see that it is enforced
The matter was taken up at the
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday. We believe there's
an assistant counsel for the territory
here in the person of Geo. b
Grigsby whose duty this would seem
to be.
The mail arrived yesterday after
noon shortly after four o'clock. It
was practically all second class and
included a goodly number^ of con
gressional records. Guess those civil
servants in charge of the mail to be
forwarded feel that it would insub
ordination if they kept back the wise
books of the law makers.
The republican district convention
held in the Huntcy Hall on Saturday
night was well attended and the
republican delegates were brimful
of confidence as they transacted the
business of the meeting.
The convention instructed the
sending of the proxies of delegates
to Messrs Schofield and Gilmore and
endorsed William A. Gilmore as i
delegate to the national convention
at Chicago. The delegates instructed
their proxies to vote as a unit for
this division on all questions coming |
bef re the territorial convention.
The proxies will be immediately
dispatched to delegates Gilmore and
Schofield.

The Vernal Equinox, harbinger or j
spring, occurs today at 11:47 a. m.
and as if to give, the lie to the old
tradition of equlnoct’cal stories, Old
Sol is outdoing himself trying to
make an impression on the snow
drifts. At the Vernal Equinox tho
sun crosses the equator from south
towards north and the earth is so.
situated in its orbit that the plane
of the equator passes thftmgh the
sun. This causes the day and j
night to be of equal length, but thts
is modified to a certain oxtent by
the refraction of light which makes
the interval from sunrise to sunset
about 17 minutes longer than the
interval from sunset to sunrise.
Today tho sun rises at 6:01 a. m.
and sets at 6:18 p. m. and the sun's
height above the horizon at noon is
25 deg. 30 min.
Due to the fact that i916 is a leap
year, the equinox is set back a
whole day in the calendar and comes
earlier than usual. As tho interval j.
from equinox to equinox is nearly
1-4 of a day longer than 365, the
equinox would occur at a later date
eyery year if it were not s«5t back by
the Intercalation of leap years.
The sun is said to enter the Zo
diac sign Ariel, but owing to the
movement known as the Precession
of the Equinoxes it is at this time
really in the Zodiac constollation
Pisces. The equinoxes have moved
back a whole sign, or 30 degrees, in
2,100 years.

go from there to Marshal city to
settle some mining business by the

Mr. Denning Wheeler the myster
ious visitor to the North arrived

his first visit to Alaska was in 1912
and that he spent most of the winter
hunting around the head of the
White river; since thon ho has con
tinued to come and has killed a
specimen of all the game In Alaska
outside of walrus and polar boar.
‘/I have," said he, "the wander
lust, and the means to satisfy it.
Some men kill tigers in India, some
lions and elephants in Africa. f
prefer Alaska. Next year I am going
to Herschel Island and thon to Nome
by the way of Point Barrow. This
year I came down the Yukon to
Beaver and headed for Coldfoot

The Nome Chamber of Commerce
hold a banner meeting yesterday
and took up a variety of questions
all of which are Intimately associ
ated with the well being of Nome.
The coal question, the mail question,
the pumping plant, the recorder for
Dime and other . business engaged
the attention o^ the members for
Borne time.
On the coal question F. .1. Meilke
from the depth of his valuable ex
perience gave good counsel to th*>
members. The mail question was
also discussed and considerable pro
gress shown. A committee of the !
Chamber will act in conjunction
with the council in the matter of a |
municipal lighting and pumping
plant. The matter of a recorder for
Dime creek was also up. John F. j
Donahue who happened to be in I
Marshal at the time a recorder was
appointed said that that appoint
ment was due to the efforts of the
N. C. Co. which had staked Rhodes,
rhe miners had met and appointol
i recorder befofe that, and paid in
fees for records. When Waskey
tumbled in on them as Commlss"ioner
they had to pay and record all over
igain. “Marshal,” said Donahue,
;ot a recorder through the N. C. Co.
when not half as much activity was
witnessable as is now being done ai
Jime". A Committee was appointed
;o see Judge Tucker on the matter!
The Morningside Insane Asylum
ilso engaged the attention of the
Chamber and strong representations
were made on the subject. The
Chamber will take this matter up
itrongly. The closing down of the
Detention Hospital also came in for
i good share of attention.
The Chamber of Commerce meet
ng showed that it ib getting into
:he way of being a live wire and
will be heard from. Correspondence
ihowed that it had already achieved
excellent results from most of its
labors, and was stirring things up
irery effectively for this carnp^
