About Free Delivery.

Postmaster Chapman says his Office
has earned free delivery under the rules
of the postofice department of the gov
eminent. On the other hand the people
are losing the opportunity by failing to
take public action in the matter. This
important postal facility.is only granted
after the right has accrued upon petition
Of the patrons Of the Office. The public,
SO far, has taken no action in the matter.
The logical method would be for the
city council or the commercial club to
pass resolution asking for free delivery,
and then present the matter to the au-
thorities. The neglect Of this matter
may result in the loss Of this public BEN
eft. The postmaster says he has no per
sonal interest above that Of any other
public spirited citizen; but, he thinks the
neglect to move in this matter is mex
cusable. The matter should be fastened
to contamination while the campaign is
in progress as department heads, like
other politicians, are more approachable
now than they will be after election.

geographically Cold

The Snake river ferry broke loose this
morning and drifted down stream about
half mile. The rope which moored the
boat to the cable became entangied and
parted with the strain caused by the force
of the current against the side, Of the
craft, which was launched out into the
stream at right angle to the current.
There was team and wagon with three
passengers aboard at the time. They ex-
perienced ride at the mercy Of the wat
ers but there was no danger Of serious re-
suits at any time.

 During recent trip along the beach between Snake river and the mouth of Penny river, distance of twelve miles, about forty miners were seen at work. Some were taking out pay dirt and pill ing it up on shore to be washed out in the spring; others were taking into their cabins and running it through rockers, using warm water. Doubt less a way will be found to work tbe rich pay dirt during the winter season.
 Stalking of claims is very active. Dog teams may be seen hurrying in every direction. Cape York and the Bonan. ga district seem to be the favorite ground at present. Everyone is deter mined to have a claim somewhere. Whether there is sufficient pay in these districts to warrant the expense of a trip of eighty miles to one place and forty to the other, is the question. It is certain that coarse gold has been found in both. The officers and crew of the Bear staked every thing in reach at i York.
 One thing is certain, the beach from Cape Nome to Port Clarence, distance of 75 miles, is gold bearing. The gold came from the interior or was cast up by Neptune in his angry moods.

A WOMAN IN. NOME.
Writes a Letter Full of Interest.
 ing Information.
THE REV. WIRT'S HOSPITAL,

Mrs. Myra C. Ingraham has written a very interesting letter to the Seattle Post InteIligencer under date of Dec 5th 1899, from which we make the fol- lowing extracts:
 Horace Greeley's advice to "Go west and grow up with the country" has been transmitted into the more recent adaptation, "Go north and freeze up with it." This we are rapidly doing who are preparing to welcome in the year A. D. 1900 amid the ice and icicles in the shadows of the Arctic circle.
 So much has been said and written of the barren desolation of this city, founded upon the yellow beach, that the radiant colors in sky and sea greet one like a beautiful revelation. We watch the daily enactment of all the things written about this icy place things so ordinary to read about and yet so novel to see with ones own eyes. Among them are the long twilights; the sun forgetting to rise betimes in the morning and setting in the south at night; the frozen rivers that are now the avenues of traffic for many dog team that fly hither and thither over the ice.
 This town, which has sprung like  magic into existence, now supports es- tabIshed churches, hospitals, lodges and literary organizations, to say nothing of a municipal government. One year ago it was not even known to the natives in passing. Nome with its tented habitations and narrow thor oughfares, reminds one of Seattle after the fire, specially when we encounter so many familiar Seattle faces on the streets.
 The winter has been phenomenally mild, the thermometer ranging from 20 degrees to 30 degrees above zero. One year ago at this time it was 57 degrees below. The sun at this date, Dec. 2nd., rises at IO:15 a. m. and sets at 3 p. m., but as the weather is bright our days are about of equal length to the days with you in the Queen city of Puget sound. The time keeper of the town is the whistle at Lanes water works, which blows at a. m., 12 m. 1 and 5 D. m. The water furnished by this company comes from we'll 20 feet deep, and it sells for 121a cents per bucket.
 The last storm in the harbor, which occurred about month ago, wrecked all the shipping in the port, including the Sovereign, beautiful stern wheel steamer owned by Columbia Naviga- tion Company, the hull became kind ling wood as it washed ashore. An en- terprising young Seattle couple secur- ed her pilot house for their winter quarters.
 One of the most important social in- stitutions of the town is club of young men organized for social pur- poses. This club has rooms in a prom inent down town building, that would do credit to a thriving city in "the
Douglas Island news., 1900-04-11

This equipment was Snlpped on Iue steamship Cleveland, and arrived at anchorage in OUT harbor in safety, but in lightering the vessel the barge up on which the goods were to be sent ashore became a total wreck. Such hospital stores as would float were strewn along the beach for distance of nine miles Rev. MT. Wirt immedi- ately dispatched teams to gather up the wreckage, and when the goods in their broken, scared and soaked con- dition were turned over to the hospital authorities there was over S1,20O sal wage to be paid, with less than one- third of the goods recovered. Of the seventy-fve iron bedsteads, there were but two side rails recovered. These floated ashore on blanks. Although greatly depressed by the loss of such a large proportion of the material, the projectors of the institution lost no time in converting the remaining lum- Der into hospital as large as the ma terial rescued would build. The plan as originally designed was for build ing embracing reading room, hospital and church. The reading room and church sections were abandoned, and the original plan for the hospital carri- out, adding an extra story. The build ing has been completed three days and is a substantial and handsome struc- ture. Rev. Wirt has control of the in- stitution and has nineteen assistants. The first service held in the structure was the funeral services of Tom Jordan, the youngest son of the late John T. Jordan,one of Seattle's most prominent pioneers. Young Jordan was the vic tim of the typhoid fever, having been ill but one week. Harry Leland, liar old Post, George Schultz and Will Hanna acted as pallbearers. The re- mains were followed to the grave by C.P. Dam and Maj. Ingraham, both in- innate friends of the deceased and family.
 Nomeites will have reading room during the remainder of the winter, thanks to the valuable gift of a struc- ture 38x24 feet for that purpose. The reading room will be directly opposite the hospital, and will be under the same management. The 1000 volumes and other literature donated by liberal Seattleites make valuable nucleus for library. It is expected that there will be many socials and musicales in this building during the coming win ter.
 The Congregational church is the on ly religious organization holding ser vices in Nome this winter. The Sun day School has an enrolment of forty pupils.
 A committee of young men has al- ready been appointed to secure a Christmas tree. They expect to go about forty miles in the direction of Council City to secure the Christmas tree.
 At the end of September the mining season practically closed, though some work was done in October. This is es- sentially region of summer diggings, but some work can be done in the win ter. If actual mining cannot be done, lumber and supplies can be got on the ground at one-fourth the cost for the same work during the open season. The company, of which MT. Lane is at the head, is utilizing four teams to get

states" Carpeted floors and leather covered furniture greet the eye as surprise.
 The Masonic club is of older growth and has among it's officers two names we'll known to Seattle people, those of Minor Bruce and Maj. Ingraham. This club has had many cares and has done much to assist brother Masons ia dis tress, providing transportation out or paying hospital or physicians fees, or burial expenses, in other instances. It will give ar entertainment December 27th to increase the relief fund. It is proposed to exemplify for the first time in public the work of the first three de- grees of Masonry as conferred by color ed lodges. Dancing will follow. Tick cts g.
 The most popular organization in Nome is the Nome Literary and De- batting Society. It was established some time ago by Mir. Button and has been heartily supported by all Nome ties. The mayor of the town, MT. Cash el, is the presiding officer. The meet ings are both instructive and amusing, and the attendance is restricted only by the limitations of the hall in which the meetings are held. The member ship fee is from g to $lO per month, op- tional with the subscriber, but nOnsub- scribers are not debarred from attend ance. The programme for Wednesday evening, December 27th, will be; Vocal solo, c. w. Thornton; violin solo, Lam pee; recitation, Miss Vivian Tiedeman; vocal solo, Harry Leland; Debate.
 The "Sour Dough Club" is product of northern attitudes, the requisite for membership being not that the appli. cant must be a consumer of this article of diet, but that hemust have passed one winter in the frozen north or have seen the ice go out of the Yukon. This club gave the first ball in Nome. It was at tended by about 200 prominent citizens. The scene presented no suggestion of fur parkahs, mucklucks or the thermo- meter at zero. The proceeds of the sale of tickets was devoted to charitable purposes.
 Nome will not be without ice during the coming summer, as two companies have already erected buildings for the purpose of storing it. They are cutting ice on Snake river. The ice is seven teen inches thick.
 Nome is well supplied with news papers, the Gold Digger and Nome News furnishes the public with graphic reports of things that are and that are not.
 The people in Seattle who heard Rev. Loyal l.. Wirt speak in the Plymouth Congregational church the last Sunday in August will doubtless be interested in hearing of the success of the plans detailed by him on that occasion. In conversation yesterday Rev. MT. Wirt spoke in the most cordial terms of the support given him by the citizens of Seattle and other Coast cities. He se- cured more material for his hospital than it was at first thought possible. There were originally 74,OOO feet of lum Der, 155,OOO shingles and an elegant as sortment of enameled bedsteads, bed linen, medical and hospital stores, stoves and furniture, in all a complete equipment for hospital, reading room and church, as was illustrated in the Post-Intelligencer, and costing SIP, IA.
