The probability of changes being
made before the last boat leaves in
certain official positions is said to be
growing, according to information
held by the Worker. As this is of a
more or less confidential nature while
it is legitimate to stimulate curiosity
and whet the appetite of inquisitive
ness it is not allowed to satisfy the
desire for information aroused, as the
Philosopher Hogan would say.
The officers of the government boat,
put the local Coast Guard statlonmen
thru their drill and inspected the
work and practice of the local com
pany. The men acquitted themselves
of the test with every success and
show their proficiency in the work
that was highly commendable. The
high stanrard of efficiency of the local
coast guards is matter for extreme
gratification.
A Greek who has been working
out for the Pioneer Mining Co endeav
ored to obtain exemption under the
draft law, claiming to be a neu”"
As the kingdom of Greece is at war
the board did not see it that way and
warned the man claiming exemption
that if he refused service he would be
jailed. He said he preferred Jail.
However it is likely he will think
twice before he takes this chance.
The degree of intoxicaton that pre
vails of a night in Nome is so plainly
in sight that the wonder is that offi
cials cannot notice it and take ac
tion. Nevertheless in failing to en
force the law ,the officials are leaving
themselves open to the charge that
those things done by men who are
under the influence of this liquor il
legally consumed are themselves in a
certain degree contributary to the
crime.

Last night some anxiety was oc
casioned in the Pioneer Igloo when a
fire alarm brot the Department in a
hurry to the headquarters of this or
ganization of Alaskans. It was after
ten o’clock and some had retired to
sleep the sleep of the just and the
virtuous when the clang and clash and
roar of the fire wagon broke the spell
of Morpheus and induced them to get
up in a hurry. A crowd which was
of considerable dimensions consider
ing the late hour of the excitement
gathered around the sacred portals of
the Pioneer Temple but when Chief
Haughy came down stairs and an
nounced that there was no fire there
was a sigh of relief and not of dis
appointment. The team retired slow
ly and with dignity to the headquart
ers at Hunter Way and Front Street
and the whistle boomed “Fire Out”,
and all’s well.
The Worker is in receipt of a small
box of that wild grass better known to
Alaskan mushers as wild cotton.
Rasmus Jenson, the leading operator
on the Second Beach line and who
with William King also operating in
that part of the camp, have done more
than their shai«e to maintain the gold
output of this section, gathered some
specimens of this cotton which is of
exceptionally long fibre and silky and
fine. No doubt some day when the
possibilities of Alaskan resources are
more fully realized this fibre will be
spun into fine robes and be gracing
the person of beauty and manliness
in after ages.
Arrivals from Dime state that work
was concluded on the Dime creek
wagon road about the 18 of the pres
ent month. Over three miles of road
were built more than two of which
are corduroyed. In addition four
bridges were constructed, two over
Dime, one over Eskimo and one over
Indian creeks. The road follows the
route from the landing to Dime run
ning right along the paystreak on
the benches and is of great conven
ience to the miners. From the benches
it runs down and across Dime creek
thru the town and across El Dorado
slough and up to and past the store
and post office on No 2. As a result
of the road freight rates have been
cut in two, from 4c to 2c a pound
and the round trip is made in 7 hours
when formerly it took from a day
and a half to two days. The work
of the Territorial Road Commission is
greatly commended by the miners.
A survey of the commercial situa
tion in Nome for the forthcoming seas
on is to say the least not very encour
aging. In the dry goods and clothing
line several firms are going to close
up. These include the Surprise Store,
S. L. Lewis, the Nome Tailoring Co
and the Nonpareil. Hardware firms
are also not going to face a winter
drive and those who will close up are
Carlton and Co and Darling and Dean.
As however Holt and Chas Lewis keep
a full line of hardware requirements
the needs of the camp will he amply
met by these two firms. Segerstrom
and Hagen will close their jewelry
store for the winter. The only busi
ness that marks an increase in the
number of firms is the grocery line.
In addition to those who have been
operating here, Hancock and Yong
are stocked tip with a fine line of
general goods which will make this
new firm a formidable competitor
with the grocery outfitters already
in the ring. Since the opening or
navigation the important firms of
Hill’s Pharmacy, The Pacific Cold
Storage or Waechter Bros, the Nome
Bakery, Yorkey’s and others have
closed up. Were it not that so many
of the inhabitants of Nome were leav
ing on the last boats, the result of
the suspension for the winter of so
many firms would result in a stimu
lated trade for those remaining. As it
is, it is doubtful if those who do re
main will find that they are unable
to meet all the demands made upon
the resources of their stores.
