NOME NEWS"
A Breezy Little Paper From Cape Nome
Mining Camp, Alaska.

States Is PROBABLY the Nome News, |
four-page weekly publication printed |
at Ncme, Alaska, ana sold at the rate |
of 25 cents a copy. The paper is |
printed by people who knowwha good |
printing Us, and its editorial utterances |
show that the editors are men of con-
siderable circumspection and con
ception of the Requirements of Nome |
Concerning a proposition to incorpo-
rate the town the News" says:
"The News has always been a be-
lever in the ability of the American
people to govern themselves. The pro-
posal to incorporate the town of Nome
is meeting with strenuous opposition,
based, we believe, on the fear that a
set of giafters may control the city
council, who will Immediately on as
suming power proceed to shake down
various kinds Of business and business
places.
1--WE believe that the fear is ground
less, for if seven reputable citizens,
who are not grafters, cannot be elected
to the council, we must perforce des-
pair of the competency of the people
to govern themselves. The kind of
men who shall compose the council, if
the town be incorporated, rests solely
upon the public Let this be borne in
mind"
Selections from the advertisements
: and local news paragraphs show that
life in Alaska is quite similar to life
elsewhere, except perhaps trfe more
. strenuous as Mr.. Roosevelt would say.
Here are few clippings:
president Wright has made arrange
, ments to send out mail on the revenue
cutter Mccullough, which will leave
about November l. In all probability
, this will be the last mail to leave Nome
, via steamer this fall"
: Another interesting romance of the
. Nome rush reached its consummation
at the dwelling owned by the Inde-
pendence Mining company on Dry
Creek, Saturday evening. Against the
protest of friends, Orville V. Dean, of
leaving behind him his betrothed, Miss
Olive Yoho, hoping to return in aut-
umn for their. nuptials. Like many
others, Mr.. Dean has been successful
in Nome, and has acquired such inter
ests that it was desirable for him to
remain in during the winter. Fore
seeing this situation, he quietly sent
out for Miss Yoho in September. She
arrived on the Senator last week, in
company with Mrs. McGarvin, wife of
John McGarvin, who occupies the In
dependence company's premises in
company with Mr.. Dean. On Saturday
evening Rev. Galen Wood, who comes
from Cripple Creek, Col, called to Of
ficiate at the marriage of the young
couple, and now 1T is safe to say no
|, two young people in Nome are more
f pleasantly situated for the winter than
j they"
