Our last Advertisement, we are glad to state, that no one claimed
the reward, for two reasons;
Ihe 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 cit'/.ens are placing confidence in such malicious rumors
which are intended to injureXome for some hidden purpose.

OREGON SENATOR VOICES
OPPOSITION TO METHODS
All!
WASHINGTON,—Senator Cham
berlain in the Senate today made an
indignant protest against federal
methods, declaring that the round
ups of citizens was illegally being
carried out.
He d< nounced these things, declar
ing that they had gone on so long
without criticism that today actually
men ware afraid to assert their rights
in war time.
Chamberlain himself has been se
verely rebuked in the- past for voic
ing criticism of the government, its
officials and their methods.

AN ATLANTIC PORT,—A German
diver has adopted a clever disguise j
for operating on the American side of
the Atlantic. The craft hoists sails
like a fishing boat and being an ap
parently friendly craft, the other
peaceful ships come closer to it.
Two steamships report having had
narrow escapes aft r a running fight
with such a diver adopting such a
disguise, and the submarines opened
fire before the steamers observed the
fact that the sails wer- a mere decoy.
Other steamships are asked to be
on the lookout for a diver or divers
employing this disguise.
The sinking of other steamers
some time ago in American waters
is now attributed to the fact that they
were deceived by the harmless appear
ance of the submarines operating un
der such dang rous camoflage.
UNITED STATES SOES
DRY JULY NEXT YEAR
WASHINGTON,—By the passage
of the House amendment as a rider to
the Emergency Food Bill, whereby
the manufacture of intoxicating
liquor, spirits or extracts from food
products of any description is pro
hibited on and after July 1, 1919, the
United States places itself in the
category of prohibition nations and
formally goes dry.
The Food Administration by and
with the authority conferred upon it
by Congress announces that on and
after December 1st next no beer will
be allowed to be manufactured in the
United States and its prohibition will
be absolute.
This will not affect the production
of non-intoxicants from such cereal
material as the Food Administrator
may allow to be used in such produc
tion.
GENERAL MARCH TELLS
OF AIRCRAFT PROGRESS
WASHINGTON,—In his we k end
statement to the press General March
indicates considerable progress in
American air craft production and
that the American forces are plenti
fully supplied for all needed opera
tion and patrol work on the immediate
battle front.
He announces that twelve hundred
De Savilland planes had been deliv
• •red to the government and that eight
hundred of these were sent overseas
and were now in use by the United
States Amy.
Aircraft delay is a thing of the past
as far as the production of planes is
concerned and each month is seeing
an accelerated output that is as un
expected as gratifying.
NEWS NOTES
In a letter to Charles Brown, the
news is told that Don Brown and
Th. Lehmann, Jr (Bud) have joined
the merchant marine service, having
been just in time to be accepted.
Jim Stokes who has been engaged
with his brother Harold in the fish
ing business some two hundred miles
up the Yukon, is an arrival in Nome.

work and arc impressed with indus
trial activity in Seattle and the high
prices for everything they need. Most
found work in the shipyards.
Chas Peters, better known as Pat
the Dane, died when on his way to
Rochester, Minnesota for medical
treatment having been ailing a con
siderable time. Peters was formerly
a resident of Nome and had a wide
circle of acquaintances thruout Alas

DIVERS PAY PENALTY ON
ATTACKING TROOPSHIPS
LONDON,—Two sensational at
tacks made upon troopships loaded
with American soldiers on route to
France wer quickly destroyed by
British and French destroyers in the
English channel where the attack was
made by tile German U boats.
The troopships were decoyed from
their convoy by moans of false signals
sent by the German submarine and
when they were out of line, the div
ers began to attack.
A British destroyer which was in
the way at once set upon the diver,
blowing it clean out of the water
with a depth bomb as the submarine
submerged for safety from the Brit
isher.
A French destroyer also sank the
submarine which attacked the other

teen tons of the domestic lback dia

consumers with whom it finds a ready
sale. The Ram has got to make a
trip with supplies to a station after

Unalakleet coal to Nome.
DISPUTE THE MATTER
Alaskan exchanges appear to have
worked themselves up quite consid
erably over the matter of the Com
mittee of Election report on the seat
ing of Judge Wickersham as delegate.
The machine organs unitedly protest
that the press reports are not true,
while the republican papers just as
strenuously declare that they are un
impeachably accurate.

transport which hacl been decoyed in
precisely the same manner and ap
parently by the same set of signals.
Both ships were loaded with Ameri
can troops cn route to France and the
attack by the U boats had every ele
ment of careful preparation for the
daring attempt upon the safety of the
troopships.
The effectiveness of the Channel pa
trol however doomed the plans to
failure and the divers paid the full
penalty for their daring attempt to
sink ths transports.
