WHY WORRY?
\\ hat's the use of passing along this
t .Ik about "everybody going out”? li
i n t true Some people are going out
b it there are always some people go
J,,g out there will be more left
than go.
Really, It’s a good sign when at
this time of the year there are few
men in town aside from those it takes
to “run the town. They are out in
fi r* hills or the mines or on the rail
r< ad rade, earning money for tin* win
b r. and when the season’s work ends
they will be back here again, and with
the price in their clothes \ week
ago you would hardly have thought
there were any idle men iu town who
wanted to work, yet when a depart
ing Fairbanksan wired hack here ask
iug that seventy-five men he sent to
bennrcott to work in the mines there,
seventy-five men tin* next morning
took the train for Happy station and
scattered out along the railroad
grade, satisfied to stay where they
v ere.
Oi course, if you are determined
to make yourself believe that the
« .imp has gone to the "demnition
low-wows," you can do it you can
»• ake yourself believe anything. Still,
v hat’s the use? About tin* only thing
ive can see that is worth while that
‘has been lost here this >ear is confl
(b-me. That’s what makes the camp
poorer loss of confidence. None of
you ran prove that your fears are;
well grounded you are just plain try ,
ing to make things come that way,
and you don't want them to. at that
A man ran worry himself sick, and can
compel himself to dir* when there is
really nothing the matter with nim
hut his diseased or frightened mind, 1
hut what's tin* use? Seems silly
in us
.Never a year goes by in this camp
hut that something that never was;
before springs up to lake the place
of something that may have slipped!
away Every summer and fall for
years we have heard the same story
of "everybody going out." and poorer
business, etc., but so far as we are
concerned we find each year that busi
ness in the end breaks about the same
year after year. With the exception
of now and then an extraordinary
year with extraordinary luck, our busi
ness doesn't vary a thousand dollars
a year If we don't get the business
we expected from a counted-upon
source, we get new business and un
expected business from unexpected
sources. There's something coming
ir all the time for all of us, if we
will only admit it.
Anybody can weep and bewail his
fate and cry "calamity!" and there’s
no law to prevent it, hut it seems
cultus work to us. Merry Kittle Sun
shine seems to get along fully as well
and lie as happy as Old Man Crouch
and it's a lot more fun to stick around
where Merry Kittle Sunshine is. Th«
chances are that all you really neet
to make business better and the pros
peets brighter for you is a cuptul o
castor oil. Try it.—Fairbanks News

ME FACTIONS
bitter mem
Charges and counter-charges of a
personal and political nature have
been so freely made against the fed
eral officials at Nome that the whole
of Seward peninsula has become em
broiled in a bftter factional fight,
cognizance of which was finally taken
by the department of justice, and re
sulted in a thorough investigation of
all coniertunf.
Judge James A. Smtser of Juneau,
district attorney for the First divi
sion. was sent to Nome Iky the depart
ment as a special investigator, and
he is in Cordova today on his return
home. Judge- Smiser declined, of
course, to give out his findings, hut
stated that ail of the concrete facts
in the controversy would! be laid be
fore tile officials at Wasiftingtooe
It appears that Dumeroics and divers
charges were made against Judge
Holtzheimer, who was appointed to
the bench less than a year ago He
Is charged with having gambled and
with being pro-German. The former
count resulted from his haring played
a social game of cards at the Arctic
Brotherhood Club for cigars, and his
alleged pro-Germanism is due largely
I ' ■
t to the fact that Ills appointees, Corn
*' missioner McCann and Clerk of thf
"•i Court O'Neill, are accused of leaning!
> in that direction, which they einphat
c leally deny.
1 On the other hand, t’niled state;
.Marshal .Ionian and District Attornej
.Mnndy have been working at truss
; purpfises with the other officials;
!l tlicir Democracy lias been <|nc.-tioned
tnl they an- charged with being suit
porters of Wickershani. as well a;
man.' other tilings of a more serious
i nature.
u hile the investigation was pend
ing Mnndy saw tit to resign, and
.1 tidge Iliilt/.ht'lincr appointed (ieorge
.1 l.omcti. a prominent Republican
acting district attorney, as there was
no available Democrat for the posi
lion.
Just what will be the outcome ol
the unfortunate mix-up. in which prac
fleally every resident of Nome ha;
> taken sides, rests with the depart
'■ ment of justice.

SAVE A LIFE
OF DESERVING
This is the slogan of the Armenian
anti Syrian relieve drive which will
start in Cordova next Monday by the
appointed canvassers. The Armenian
and Syrian relief committee is doing
the Red Cross work in Asia Minor,
and it is as urgent and as necessary
to give to this drive as if it were a
Red (’rose drive, because all the
money, food and clothing going into
these regions enter* under the name
and seal of the Red Cross Society.
Your gifts will be used to relieve the
suffering of the thousands of refugees,
widows and orphans. It is impera
tive that our gifts be as large as pos
sible, for they are looking to America
to furnish them all the things neces
sary for the maintenance of life, as
war and the cruelties of the Turks
have robbed them of everything we
count dear to life
Food depots, hospitals and orphan
ages mast be re-established, grains
for another year's crops must be fur
nished, machinery for the mar; "pg
ture of cloth and other article ngX

things need the care and oversight or<
