The local democrats declare that
they got no orders from the terri

to the national convention, .and in
not doing so they complied simply
with the instructions they had re

for the election of delegates to the

The cable is still down, interrupt
ed is the way the Signal Corps varv
nicely puts it. The ding banged
thing has been out of commission
for almost a month. What the old
Burnside is doing in the way ot
putting the parted cable ends to
gether witncs knoweth not, but the
old dispatches come In limping along
by a variety of trails that are as un
certain as various. This, the Indus
trial Worker thinks is a record pe
riod for cable Interruption, al
though it may be purposely allowed
to be especially and aggravating^
rotten in order at this time that the
wise ones in Washington may vouch
safe to instal another cable not
quite so teredoed and rotten. The
wireless is working-day and night
to cover the situation, but that It
is in any way a satisfactory substi
tute for the cable Is not quite ob
vious. The Chamber of Commerce
might advantageously bestir itself
to get a new cable. Governor
Strong makes a similar recommen
dation and the U. S. Signal Corps
has wanted . one for a considerable
time. It is asserted that the sea bed
in the.Gulf of Alaska is subjected
to . so tnany submarine upheavels
that it is very hard on marine
cables. Qf course pver a condition
like that, Congress, has very little
influence. They might do some good
by trying the alternative of placing
B& new cable in position.
Saturday afternoon owing to the
ignition of the wood work aronnd
the stove in Charles Reed’s machine
shop, the.Jlre department hurled out
to an alarm. The firo had gained
some headway upon the arrival of
the department, and It taxod the re
sources of the chemical to control
the flames which was however done
sftjr hard work. The hose was
strung out to the hydrnat and water
whe called for by one of tho firemen,
but It did not come. It was fortu
nate that the chemical proved suffi
cient In the emergency.

COMMUNICATED.
The Editor Nome Industrial
Worker:
Dear Sir: Gazing down the valley
where Dime creek winds its way, I
can count the smoke rrom a dozen
bolers ascending heavenwards de
noting by Its presence that the har
dy miners are determined to find
out what Mother Earth has been try
ing to conceal for centuries past.
Everybody here now is comfortably
housed, all living In log cabins so
warm that you can lie inside tand
laugh to scorn Jack Frost’s greatest
efforts and the blizzards of the Nortn
as it roams outside Is bereft of hu
man victims. There are no cooks In
this camp suffering from cold feet.
For boilers and home consumption
wood is the fuel used and as a con
sequence tho slopes of Dime creek
are getting fast stripped of nature's
garb. When the feathery songsters
of the grove return here next spring
to reproduce tkeif kind, they will
find the giants of the forest where
in they built their nests levelled to
the ground by the ruthless hands ot
this advance guard of civilization,
carted away to produce steam to
thaw and hoist what preachers term
the root of all evil.’
Judgo Tucker's letter denying the
men of this district the privilege ot
a commissioner's office was very dis
appointing to all of us. He said the
time was not yet ripe, that there
was nothing permanent in the camp,
and of course like all good judges
he slides into his cushioned chair,
brings his judicial wisdom into play,
and finally comes to the conclusion
that the only way to mase a good
camp out of it, is to deny the men
here every privilege and put them to
all the inconvenience that can poss
ibly be done. For instance, if a
man stakes a claim down here it is
a trip to Council, one hundred miles
and one hundred miles back—one
hundred dollars expenses—and that
is not all: the assessment work has
to be recorded, another too miles to
Council, 100 miles back, and an
other $100 expenses. Is there any
sense or justice in a proposition of
that kind? How far better it would
be for the ease of mind of the man
and the material development ot
this part of the country if he could
walk into the Recorder’s Office
here, record his claim and take the
$200 and time and energy absolute
ly wasted on the trail, and go out
and sink holes and dotermine the
value of his claims. Here we are,
isolated away beneath the shadow
of the Arctic Circle, astride the
northern extremity of this little
planet of ours, digging and delving
down into the frozen bowels or
Mother Earth, trying to extract
therefrom a little of the golden
fieece. The men thai blazed the
trails to Dawson, to Fairbanks, to
Nome, to the Koyuk, we have built
up this great empire of the north.
It is the duty of the government to
aid those men by placing every con
venience at their dfcposal and where
a government fails to do that, it is
not doipg its duty or performing
the functions for which it is insti
tuted among men. Tne thorny path
of the prospector is beset with trials
and obstacles enough without the
powers that be throwing a few more
in his way. Every man hore is un
animously in favor a recorder’s of
fice where deeds etc can be drawn
up and work recordod without being
compelled to- run over to Council
upcler ..cp/iditions Which I have al
ready k discribed.
(This communication by Mr. M..
Young is so lengthy thai we aw
obliged to hold over a portion of 1*
for' tomorrow’s incue.) j
