FOLLOWING UP
Our last Advertisement, we are glad to state, that no one claimed
the reward, for two reasons; "*
2 he 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 sucli malicious rumors
which are intended to injureNome 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)
Xome's future looms up brighter than ever and those who remain
to assist in bringing the daynearer will reap the benefit.
LEST YOU FORGET
W(‘ want to also impress upon your mind that we have not relented
in the grocery business, we carry the best of goods and we are sell

UNREST IS REPORTED
FROM BULGARIA
LONDON,—Dissatisfaction grows
in Bulgaria and every new manifes
tation proves that the crisis of the ac
tual regime has become acute. Var
ious causes have produced a wide
spread dissatisfaction, which encour
ages the Opposition to exploit violent
ly every new question.
Beginning with the Turko-Bulgar
ian discussion concerning the Do
brudja and the compensation in
Thrace, the tone of the press has be
come more and more passionate. On
1he question of the food supply, the
Mir made its well-known direct attack
upon the German allies. After the
Mir comes the Narod, the moderate
Socialist organ, with an article against
ihe Germans (in an issue which did
not pass the frontier), which brot
down on it the same fate on the Narod
as on the Mir. And then it was sus
pended, which is interesting inasmuch

Chairmon Local Board No. 9
The Chairman of the Local Board
No 9 received directions from the Gov
ernor’s Office in Juneau to order the
induction into military service of all
Class One registrants of class of 1917.
The date for such induction has not
been definitely fixed but it is stated
that all registrants under this call
will be inducted into the army not
later than October 1, 1918.
Chairman Lomen of the Board is
sued the following statement:
Nome, Alaska, Sept. 16, 1918.
as the Narod for a long time pursued
an Opportunist policy and supported
Mr Radoslavoff’s government, as did
the Mir.
The spreading dissatisfaction and
the increasing hostility to the gov
ernment are of such a character as to
indicate that they are not merely
due to party intrigue. When it is
considered that the extreme Socialists
are being constantly accused of
spreading Bolshevism in the army and
in the rear, and that Mr. Radoslavoff
has succeeded in calming down and
winning over only a small portion of
the agrarian party, it will not be an
exaggeration to say that the Bulgar
j ian crisis is entering on a serious
| phase.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS ITS
REGULAR BUSINESS MEET
The City Fathers bravely faced the
inclemency of the weather and met
in their regular conclave last evening
to legislate on matters pertaining to
the welfare of our fair city. Council
man Lescher alone was absent, his
military duties detaining him at Fort
Davis.
The Wild Goose Mining and Trad
ing Co which has responsibility for
keeping so many houses in radiating
warmth during the cold winters of
the icy north at so much per, had a
communication which was read in
the dulcet tones of the City Clerk at
his best, and offering to renew the
contract for heating the Fire De
partment and the City Hall at the
generously low figure of one hundred
and fifty dollars per month, an in
crease which attracted the attention
immediately of the aldermen.
The Mayor handed a communica
tion in Russian to the Clerk who
wihen about to read it discovered that
it was illegible to him and he turned
to the press table where it was about
to be read for the benefit of those
present but the Mayor stated he had
taken the precaution to have it ren
dered in English. It was from the
People’s Administration. District of
Anadir, Territory of Kamschatka,
asking the mediation, co-operation
and assistance of the Mayor and city
council of the Town of Nome to se
cure from the United States govern
ment at Washington, the right to ex
port to the said Anadir, Winchester
rifles of all calibers, ammunition,
flour, sugar, tea, tobacco, shoes, dry
goods, dried fruits, canned goods, etc,
etc, for the support of the natives and
population of the said district. They
feared that next year the Russian sup
ply boat would be unable to come up
to their section of the coast and in
this event the coast would be without
supplies other than could be received
from the United States and the Port
of Nome.
There were no reports from city
officers. It was stated that a quanti
ty of sulphuric acid and carbonate of
soda was needed and could be pur
chased locally less than the market
price for the use of the chemical en
gine of the Nome Fire Department,
and it was ordered that the same be
made thru the Fire and Water Com
mittee.
On motion of Councilman Milot the
communication from the Wild Goose
Mining and Trading Co, now also a
heating company of parts, was laid
upon the table until the next meet
ing, to ascertain what the number of
radiators was in the City Hall and
Fire Department, so that they could
understand the rate of increase in
timated in the offer of the company
for the renewal of the heating co J
tract. H
A motion was made and passed ap
pointing a committee to take such
steps as might arrange for an inter
change of courtesies with the District
Council of Anadir and to act along
the lines of the request contained in
the communication; and that the
Mayor be requested to answer the
communication. Messers Kricek
Milot and Kemp were appointed on
the committee.
There being no further matters to
come before the meeting, it was ad
journed to meet again on Monday
night, September 30.
BURLESON MOVES!
IN XEYMEN CASE
WASHINGTON,—Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, who is regarded as one
of the most reactionary of all the
democratic cabinet officials, has an
nounced that wage working condi
tions in the telephoue and telegraph
industry will be investigated by his
department and that with a view to
remedying conditions and redressing
wrongs which are complained of.
The taking over of the telegraph
and telephones by the Post Office De
partment has resulted in a peculiar
condition in that Burleson has been
a staunch opponent of unionism in
the very same way as has been the;
manager of the Western Union and
which caused all the trouble. To
wards the postal employees Postmas
er-General Burleson has always main
tained that they had no right to or
ganize and particularly reprobated
the idea of getting organized and affil
iating with the American Federation
of Labor.
It was just this stand of New
combe Carlton of the Western Union
that caused the government to take
over the telegraphs as a strike seem
ed inevitable. Since the taking over
of the telegraphs employees who join
ed the commercial telegraph operators
union have been discharged at St
Louis for wearing the union button.
It was safe to say that this policy
would have ultimately led to the
troubles which were only averted by
the government taking over the tele
graphs.
RETURN TO WORK
BRIDGEPORT, Conn,—Monday the
striking munition workers, principal
ly members of the International As
sociation of Machinists, answered
the communication of President Wil
son by affirming their loyalty to the
United States, promising to return
to work forthwith and to take their
further grievances to the war labor
board.
The strike is now regarded as set
tled, and the matters in dispute will
be brot at once to the attention of the
War Labor Board.
The machinists contend that if the
prices asked for food can be stabilized
they will also be satisfied with their
present pay during the war, but if
