FOLLOWING UP
Our last Advertisement, we are glad to state, that no one claimed
the reward, for two reasons;
The first reason is that we are $1000.00 to the good.
The second reason is that we have demonstrated to the
public the unreliability of rumors, and we are sorry to say that
owing to the same persistent and pernicious agitation many of
our citizens are placing confidence in such malicious rumors
which are intended to injureVome for some hidden purpose.
The true development.of locality is never based on a mush
room growth it takes arduous and patient work to bring and keep
section prospering.
At this time more than any other time (Excepting few war
conditions which no good American will run away from)
Nome's future looms cp brighter than ever and those who remain
To assist in bringing the daynearer will reap the benefit.”
LEST YOU FORGET
We want to also impress upon your mind that we have not relented
in the grocery business, we carry tlie best of goods and we are sell
ing them at right prices.

CROWN PRINCE FLEES
FROM ROUMANIA
PARIS,—It is announced that the
Crown Prince of Rouniania has fled
from Odessa. It is reported that many
anti-German outbreaks are noted
thruout Roumania. Queen Marie is
reported as openly sympathizing with
the Allies.
AMSTERDAM,—Crowds at a Ber
lin election meeting, strongly social
ist in composition, shouted “down
with war”, but the police dispersed
the gathering.
Anti-war feeling is growing strong
er in Germany.
MAY APPEAL LABOR
TROUBLES WAR DEP’T
WASHINGTON.—The government
announces that all labor disputes, re-1
gardless of whether the industry is I
owned by private employers or not,
may be appealed to the War Depart
ment for settlement.
There is little disposition so far
shown upon the part of organized la
bor to take its troubles to the War
Department for settlement.
The assurance that tile same will
he settled satisfactory to the workers
involved is not regarder in many
quarters as very positive.
SHIPWORKERS STRIKE
PROTESTING DELAY
SEATTLE,—The employees of
eight shipyards struck at noon on
Saturday as a protest against the de
lay of the Federal Wage Adjustment
Board in its giving a decision on the
wage and conditions which are to ob
tain in this industrial section.
The men declare their intention to
strike each Saturday at noon until
the announcement is made unless
double time is still paid for Saturday
work. The men are now waiting for
this decision for a very protracted
period and while abiding by the de
cision has averted strikes, their pa
tience is pretty well exhausted.
MANY PRISONERS TAKEN
IN THE GREAT OFFENSIVE
WASHINGTON,—A dispatch re
ceived by the French legation in this
city and strictly official says that with
ten thousand prisoners taken on
September 18, we are not far from
a total of two hundred thousand
since July 18, or in two calendar
months.
WASHINGTON,—General March
in his weekly statement to the press
| declared that the American over seas
force now numbered one million
j seven hundred and fifty thousand
men. He emphatically said that there
had been no confirmation whatever
as to the reports that the Bolshevik!
I were misusing Americans.
March said that the latest Saturday
dispatches showed that the British
were within three miles of St Quen
tin which was being bombarded.
U. S. GUNS FORCE THE
METZ CIVILIANSFFLEE
BASEL, Switzerland,—American
artillery now being used to bombard
Metz is causing immense damage to
this fortified city. Houses have been
destroyed and forts crumbled to
atoms. No one is safe and hundreds
of the inhabitants have been fleeing
from the city.
It is now stated that the German
authorities have denied permission
to any neutrals to leave Metz, declar
ing that they would have valuable
information to impart which might
reach the enemy.
The neutrals are to be used as a
shield, it is held, against too severe
an artillery punishment of the city.
POOLE REACHES FINLAND ii
SAFELY FROM MOSCOW
WASHINGTON,—Consul General
Poole, who has been reported at dif
feren times as assassinated, murdered,
mysteriously killed, arrested, jailed
and expelled from Moscow, has ar
rived safely in Finland.
This announcement is made today
following cabled advices from Europe
of the arrival of the American Consul
General in Finland out of Russia.
The reports and news dispatches
coining out of Russia are so conflict
ing that it is difficult here to state
with any exactness what is transpir
ing there. Great relief is felt over the
safety of the Consul General.
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
FOR SIX-BILLIONS
WASHINGTON,—Secretary Mc
Adoo is slated for an address febore
New York commercial organizations
tonight and it is stated that in that
talk he will announce the amount the
government proposes to raise upon
the Fourtty Liberty Loan. It is known
that the rate will be 4 and‘4 and it
is unofficially announced that the to
tal will probably be six billions.
The President by proclamation has
set October 12 as the day for the
commencement of the big Liberty
Loan drive.
The organization work for a suc
cessful drive is all complete and the
officials are confident that it will be
even more successful than the pre
vious loan drives have been.
SHARP FIGHTING ON
MEUSE-MQSELLE FRONT
PARIS,—Today the Germans show-|
ed signs of stiffer resistance on every
sector but in none did they more
doggedly maintain a resistance than
on the American front.
The sharpest fighting took place to
day since the new Meuse-Moselle line
in Lorraine has been established when
the Americans attacked the Germans
and made slight gains. But the fight
ing is stiil continuing and it is bitter
and very stubborn.
The Americans opened with a heavy
barage fire at dawn this morning,
with the sky cloudy and rain fall
ing in showers.
LOCAL ITEMS
The petty jury was excused until
next Monday yesterday morning.
Andy Otterson succeeded in repair
ing the broken rudder stock of the
Belinda and the craft is again ready
to ply the heaving waters of the Ber
ing Sea.
Quantities of cranberries plucked
by the natives are arriving in Nome.
They have for luscious flavor the
Cape Cod variety of the berry backed
off the map.
Mining on the lower Casadepaga
section is limited to about five camps.
These were Pete Edin who is sluicing
on Spruce creek, employing one man.
Harvey Grant who is hydraulicking
and sluicing on Sunshine creek, three
men employed; A Gunderson and two
partners are sluicing on upper Goose
Creek; C. L. Peck manager of the
Moody Mining Co is operating the
dredge on Canyon creek, while the
dredge on Goose creek is being oper
ated by Wick and Adams. Lack of
water has been a strong handicap
After the barage the Americans
attacked near Rembergicourt and met
with a stiffening resistance all along
the line.
The Germans had made desperate
efforts to render their lines- impreg
nable to an assault of infantry and
they defended their positions with
considerable tenacity.
The Americans finally overcame
the Germans arid made gains in the
region which they are holding and
where there is still sharp fighting.
Artillery activity is renewed upon a
large scale by both sides in this rather
difficult sector.
but indications are now that every
bady will soon be enabled to operate.
Local fishermen secured in their
nets five whale yesterday and plenty
of dog eats was gathered against a
possible winter famine.
A wreck occurred on the Kougarok
railroad when a dogmobile laden with
passengers was coming to Nome. The
car jumped the track and one of those
ditched when the derailment occurred
sustained some injuries to his foot.
The rest escaped with an “experience”
more or less exciting.
A number of people from the Can
dle country arrived overland Sunday.
They are going outside.
DIVER LOSSES
WASHINGTON,—The American
submarine losses since the beginning
of the war with Germany totals five
hundred and forty-one thousand tons.
