in date, are still fresh in interest.
They are the Nome Gold Digger and
the Nome News. Both are weeklies
and contain four pages.
Associated press dispatches are
conspicuous by their absence, but
there is typographical and editorial
merit not to be expected OF papers
issued under such conditions. The
midwinter numbers are strictly
local. No outside news appears in
their columns. While the great
dailies OF the United States were
crowding their pages with Boer
war news, eastern complications,
political forecasts, doings of con-
gress and Kentucky scandals, the
Nome News and the Gold Digger
devoted columns to local gossip.
One cannot but be amused at the
burst of generosity of the Nome
News, which led it, in December
issue, to reduce the price per copy
from 80 cents to % cents, or 81 u
month, $12 year. About this time
the citizens were beginning to miss
the standard time regulators which,
with us, are too common to be APP
preciated, and the Nome News com
plains thus:
IF Nome has one crying need
more than another, it is for uni
form system of time. Given half
dozen men with time pieces, make
comparison and the difference in the
time will be anywhere from ten
minutes to half hour. 1t ought to
be possible to establish standard
time. With such diversity exist
ing, the keeping of appointments is
well-nigh impossible. y
a whistle was used soon after this
to regulate the time. Women are
evidently scarce in Nome, and are
appreciated, as the following para

In January poet was discovered
in Nome, and the papers welcomed
him with delight. One of his pro-
auctions, eleven verses, appears
under the title "When Summer
Comes. If this could have been
generally read by the outside world
earlier in the season, many fortune
hunters might have hesitated. The
following are samples of the poets

Ships will arrive, and may thrive
On suckers mono, great the fun!
When claims we sell-O, what the 'ellS

Social organizations and secret
societies thrived all winter. There
are lodges of Knights of Pythias
and Masons and dozens of other or
CARNATIONS. One paper announces:
"The Arctic Brotherhood seems to
be 'mushing on at a right lively
pace. Some II cheechakoes were
'geed' and 'hawed into the trail
at the last meeting.
The following paragraphs and
personals throw light on various
sides of Nome life:
"Scotty Thompson. for cutting
tent open and stealing q piece of
pork and other articles, was this
morning sentenced to serve year
on the weodpile. Doc Smith, for
stealing provisions from the city's
cache, was given six months. "
