NOME. ALASKA. APRIL 18. 1906.
f KRUPTIOMS Of VESUVIUS
Vesuvius, the well known volcano
which has been in active eruption the
past week, has had a remarkable his
tory. It is the best known of all vol
canoes. since the damage its eruptions
have caused in life and property is
without parallel in history, either an
cient or modem.
The volcano is situated on the shore
of th« bay of Naples, about ten miles
from the city of that name. It rises
solitary and majestic from the plain of
Campania, having at its base a cir
cumference of about thirty miles and
dividing at a certain height into two
summits, Somtna and Vesuvius proper
The height of the mountain and form
of its apex are subject to frequent
changes l»y eruption*. Before the latest
eruption its height was estimated at
nearly 4,000 feet. In the single eruption
of lN-U it lost *i00 feet, nearly all of
which, however, was restored h> sub
sequent eruptions. Before that event
the summit was a rough and rocky
plain, covered with blocks of lava and
scoriae, and rent by numerous fissures,
from which clouds of smoke were given
out. But it was then altered to a vast
elliptical chasm, three miles in circum
ference, time-quarters of a mile at
the greatest diameter, and about U.00U
feet deep.
The first recorded eruption of Vesu
vius took place in the year 79 A. D.
Warnings had been given sixteen years
before by a great earthquake, which
shattered the citi« s of Herculaneum
ami Pompeii, and the earth was fre
quently shaken by slight shocks until
August of the year 79, when they be
came more numerous and violent. Pre
vious to this Vesuvius was not suspect
ed to be a volcano. Its sides were cov
With famous vines, and its undent
crater, partly filled with water, formed
the stronghold of the rebel chief, Spar
taeus. The morning of August 24
brought comparative repose; but in th»
course of the day a huge black cloud
rose from the mountain, from which
stones, ashes and pumice were poured
down on till the region around. The
elder Pliny, who commanded the
Roman fleet at Misenum. sailed to the
help of the distracted inhabitants; he
landed near the base of the mountain,
was enveloped in sulphurous vapor, and
was suffocated. The younger Pliny
gives a graphic account of the erup
tion in two letters t<» Tacitus, which
are well known. No lava was ejected
on this occasion, nor indeed in any
eruption in historic times up to the
year 1066 Pompeii was buried under
a thickness of twenty feet of loose
ashes, und remained unknown until
about a century ago. A torrent of mud
spread over Herculaneum, which, by
additions from subsequent repeated
cruppers, now forms a thickness of
SO or 100 feet.
Since the first famous eruption Ve
suvius has been an active volcano, and
has been frequently but irregularly in
eruption, some sixty-one great and
numerous smaller ones having taken
place. In 472 the eruption was so great
that the* ashes fell even at Constanti
nople and caused great alarm there.
The summit known as Monte Nuovo
was. In 1538. forced up In two days to
the height of 413 feet, and with a cir
cumference of 8.000 feet. In 1631 the
villages at the foot of the mountain
were covered with lava, and torrents
of boiling water were sent forth. Since
that described by Pliny, one of the most
famous, except this latest one, is the
eruption of 1779. In the spring of that
year it began to pour forth lava; this
was succeeded by rumbling noises and
puffs of smoke; then jets of red hot
stones and ashes made their appear
ance. and increased in number and in
tensity until the eruption arrived at
its climax, between August 5 and 10.
Then enormous volumes of white
clouds arose from the crater to a height
four times that of the mountain, and
lava poured from the crater in tor
rents down the sides of the cone. This
was followed by columns of fire, which
rose on some occasions to three times
the height of Vesuvius, or more than
two miles. In the midst of all this
showers of stone, scoriae and ashes
were thrown to a great height. One
mass of rock ejected was 108 feet In
circumference and 17 feet high.
A more terrible eruption took place
fifteen years later, by which the greater
part of the town of Torre del Orecn
was destroyed. This town also suf
fered severely in the present eruption.
A remarkable eruption occurred In
1855. and in 1865 began a series of
eruptions which have been repeated at
intervals since. There was a fearful
outbreak In 1872. during which Signor
Palmier!, director of the meteorological
observatory on Mount Oontaroni. a part
of Vesuvius, remained In the observa
tory while it seemed threatened with
destruction During the eruption of
last week, the dispatches tell us, this
observatory was precipitated Into the
volcano. An eruption much less do
struetlve than that of 1872 took place
in 1878. and another in 1880
ALASkA-YlJkOM LXPOSNIOX
The Alaska-Yukon Kx posit Ion. which
is to be held hi Seattle, has been post
poned until 1909. This should be ample
time in which to enable Seattle to make
the necessary preparations for holding '
a great fair, and also give Alaskans
ample opportunity to get together and
make a display of tin* re sou roes of this
great Northern country that will he in
every way creditable to it For it
must not be forgotten that If this coun
try Is to be populated and its tnagnitl
oeiit latent resources developed, a great
^ deal of judicious advertising must be
done. Until in very recent years the
idea prevailed generally that Alaska
was an Ice box the year round, and tit
only to he tin* home of the polar bear,
the Kskimo and the totem pole. Hut
this idea is being gradually eliminated
—It is not fully eradicated yet—and
the people of other lands and other
portions of the United States even, are
beginning to barn that Alaska Is a
vast storehouse of natural wealth, some
<»f which may he theirs if they seek it
Alaska needs population. There is
ample room for tens of thousands of
men to develop the mineral wealth, the
fisheries, the lumber, tin grazing, the
agricultural and other Industries which
will be added to those which are now
being developed.
And a display of these resources that
w»* now have at such an exposition as
it is proposed t«> hold is a means toward
the end "f making Alaska known (to
all lands and kimln d and tongues, if
you will) as it is. and what it promises
to be.
IHLY SI ILL CRY “GIVL"
li is luit natural that the steamship
companies, great ami small, are heart
ily in favor «if tin* ship subsidy bill.
Most people, to say nothing <»f the
"soulless eorporations," are anxious t«»
get their Inad and feet in the "govern
ment trough." If the government of
the United States (meaning the people)
are willing to hand out money subsi
dies. one may be sure that those seek
ing "easy tnout y will not say the gov
ernment nay Speaking generally, the
whole* business <*f governmental subsi
dies is unqualifiedly wrong, if an en
terprise of any kind cannot exist with
out the aid of governmental subsidies
uhe money coming direct from the
pockets Of the people), these blooming
enterprises would better die. It may
i>e that subsidies for a limited period
might help some struggling enterprise
ro obtain a foothold, hut once a cor
poration has been given money that it
has not earned it immediately sets
about to have it in pi rpetulty The
people of the Uniti <1 States have been
subsidizing the "infant industries" of
this country until they have overshad
owed the land, and they have waxed so
fat and mighty that they now defy
tin- people whose subsidies (in the form
-•f a high protective tariff) have made
them mightier than the mighty, as wit
ness the unparalleled arrogance of the
scores of trusts made wealthy and
powerful by the people whom they now
defy.
The ship owners and the ship mas
ters of the United States have been
crying for a ship subsidy bill for years
past. It has been urged upon con
gress with ti»e greatest skill and in
sistence that money could devise and
brains produce, but happily, wo think,
it has failed up to the present time.
The dispatches tell us that the Pacific
coast steamship lines say they will
have to withdraw from the Pacific
ocean trade unless the people of the
United States will fatten their coffers—
that is unless the ship subsidy bill Is
passed. Of course they say this, and
why should they not? They want the
money; we will not say they need it.
And yet the ship builders, the ship
owners and the ship masters of the
greatest and richest country of tin
globe allege that they cannot compete
in tin* world’s marine business unless
tin y are subsidized! If this be so, let
them retire from business then, and
hand it over to some other nation that
can and will. What this country needs,
rather than more filching of the peo
ple’s money to enrich ship owners, is
a reduction of the tariff to a basis that
will help the great middle class of man
kind. by enabling them to purchase
what they need at a fair price, and in
this way our foreign commerce will be
so stimulated that the cry for more
protection (in this case a subsidy)
would be no longer heard. The plain
people have already paid more than
enough.
A RECTOR 0\ WINE AND BEER
From staid old Fitchburg, Mass.,
comes the voice of a rector plcudiug
for tlie sane use of wine. The Rev.
Alexis \V. Stein, rector of Christ Epis
copal church of that idly, and formerly
assistant to the Rov. Ur. Itainsford at
Sf. George's church. New York, and.
previously, rector or Christ's church,
Cincinnati, believes in facing conditions
as they exist. "I am one of those,*' he
says, "wlio believe in the use of wine
and beer The surest cure for the mis
use of them is the proper use of them.
The man who drinks beer in his home
with his family and children about him
will get no harm himself nor do any
harm to anyone else because he drinks.
The man who spends an hour with a
group of friends, among whom are
women he respects, over one or two
glasses of beer or light’ wine, as do
some European people, will get no
harm from It. The beer gardens of
Germany are positive forces for good
in the social life of that country.”
That is the reverend gentleman's tol
erant and rational attitude on the ques
tion. hut his attitude has limitations
that are distinct and uncompromising,
for. he adds: “I am entirely opposed to
the American saloon. Not comradeship,
but drink. Is the raison d’etre of the
saloon For one I will cast my vote
and any influence 1 possess against
tin* saloon always and every when'. He
who is on the side of things which 1
build men up. which help toward the ,
making of better men, of better social
conditions, of better homes and cities,
must vote* against the saloons always !
and everywhere. I am a firm believer
in the Anti-Saloon League movement.
I am a member of it and a worker in |
the cause which It espouses.”
That the Anti-Saloon League Is
quietly accomplishing a great work,
there can be no doubt. At least two
thirds of all the counties in the state
of Tennessee have banished the saloon
as a result of the organization's efforts
in that commonwealth.
One of the admirable things about
tie* eit> of Seattle which strikes the
observant visitor most quickly and
forcibly is the complete freedom of the)
entire residence district of the town
from tin- incalculably contaminating
influence of the saloon; and one of tin
most valuable results of this freedom
is the fact that children there may go
to and from school without seeing or
passing these unwholesome and unde
sirable resorts As the city grows, the
wisdom of restricting the saloons to n
section of the downtown district will
become more and more apparent. By
this restriction tin* city has gained a
great social advantage, and one which
should he guarded and maintained with
the utmost vigilance and energy. Se

plans t<» n form polities by substituting

‘‘make polities dignified." That’s what
is the matter with the United States
**nate Too much dignity and no iri
tiative; or, if there is any of the latter,
it is aft* r everybody is worn out and
dead.
The devastated, stricken towns
around the base of Vesuvius will he
rebuilt; the ash-covered land will be
reclaimed; the vines will again grow
on the sunny mountain slopes; the
people will forget the terrors of the
past in the hope *»f the future, but over
them will always hang the dread of
scenes whose repetition has not been
infrequent, and which have left de
vastation and mourning behind them
But such is the way of the world.

munication.]
The Public Schools.
Kditor The Nugget: I desire to ex
tend to the public and those who have
-upported me for three consecutive
terms my sincere thanks and gratitude,
and in reply to those who requested me
to become a candidate for clerk of the
school hoard in the last election I will
say that the assurance of your con
tinued support was very gratifying.
In the matterof schools, I stand
where I have stood in the past and will
continue in the future:
That cheap labor is dear labor.
Thai tile laborer is worthy of his
hire.
That incompetent and cheap schools
are iHv.tyi, poor schools.
I believe in the best public schools
for the rising generation and no po
litical Interference. They are the safe
guard of the nation—stronger than
armies and navies.
When there have been moneys pro
vided by act of congress and segre
gated for school purposes by' Hon.
Judge Alfred S. Moore, of the United
States district court, they should not
be diverted by a municipality for any
other purpose.
This Is the principle which Harry
Storey atid I, K. Sawyer, to their honor
and credit, fought for and maintained
against all ei niers. This Is the first
time iri the history of the public schools
of Nome Hint the schools have been In
debt
Your < ditortal on school board mat- I
ters and Harry Storey's letter, pub- [
ltshed in your issue of the 7th Inst., are
suthrlent In refuting and answering
the prevarications and the misleading
published report of the last school
board. They did not deem It advisable
to answer, thereby pleading guilty.
It would se« m to me that the people
of Nome do not realize the responsi
bility that tests epoi, them as citizens,
«*r they wouid not have given their sup
port to candidates who for the past
year have held office to the great detri
ment of the schools.
In the past tie- Nome high school
was regarded as a preparatory school
by the universities of the state of
Washington, but with the modifica
tions made by the last school bourd,
and the subjects which have ceased to
bi* taught here, where will the pupils
stand In the future when they go to
the great outtsde to complete their
educations?
However, the people have given their
verdict, which must be irrevocable.
