Civilization advances in some direc-

little over so percent in the 20 years
from 1880 to 1900, but in the same Pc
riod the business and revenues of the
postoffice increased 300 percent

a woman minister who married a
couple in Pennsylvania recently (and
it is said to be the first marriage cere-
mony ever colemnized by a woman in
that state) at once turned the mar
riage fee over to her husband. Minis

the act seems to be quite just to the

The woodpeckers are friends Of the
farm and should be protected, OBJ
serves a writer in the American Cul-
tivator. They have remarkable ton
gues-probes they are. The bird has
a keen ear and locates his prey by
this sense. When he hears the chip
ping of a wood-boring beetle in an ap-
pie or other tree, and dislodges it with
his sharp chisel bill and probe, it is
likely that on his next rounds he will
find a colony of ants enlarging the
burrow Of the dead grub. The bird
now brings into use the same tools
used IN catching the beetle, and the
ants are drawn out and devoured.
Both insects are injurious to the tree.

ATE. PTARMIGAN
 AND FISH, RAW
How Marston and Smith Sustained Life fsx Thirteen Days,
 While Lost.

An experience which nearly resulted in starvation was thai undergone in July last by Roderick J- Marston and Robert Smith. who reached Nome d few days ago flon Council.
 For thirteen days all they had to eat was two ptarmgan and one fish, which they ate raw, not having a match wherewith to start a fire. The re- maindqr of their subsistence WAS fur nished hy the buds and leaves of will lOws- At the expiration of thirteen days they stumbled. more dead than alive, on prospectors' camp on the Neukluk river, where they were cared for and taken to Council.
 Marston and Smith left Nome for Council on July 6, with their blankets on their backs, but they took no food. They followed the Solomon. river route. and after they had passed over the di- vide which separates the Solomon fnom the Casadepaga, heavy fogs set in. and they became lost Fon days they wan- dered around without food. and finally they succeeded in killing two paar- migan with rocks. These they de- voured raw to the last morsel, and then set out again upon their journey. Their blankets had become so wet and heavy that they could carry them no longer. and so they abandoned them. After two days wandering they noticed by tracks ia the ice where they had crossed d. stream that they were at the place they had left Near the spot they saw 4rayling in the cneek- Thew coralleh it by building 8 small dam caught and ate it, also raw. After that they were compelled to subsist on vii. low buds. When they reached the miners camp on the Neukluk they were barsfooted and ragged, their boots having been completely worn out. The first food given them made them very sick, but they gradually re. covered and finally reached Council whence they came to Nome.

THAT FLAG
 INCIDENT Which Occurred at unalaske
 on July 4.
lT CREATED A STIR
A British Flag i0isted Over an old ScOw That Was in the Hands of a Deputy United States Marshal, Under Attachment.

The NrGGET has received the fol- lowing communication. which speaks for itself. The writer, however. makes one mistake. The article referred to was not printed in the NUGGET, but the communication giving the alleged true version of the ''incident' i, here with published, ss Judge Whipnle. the commissioner a. Cnalaska. Is well known iu Nome:
 Cnalaska, Alaska, Aug. 6, 1901.
 Mr. Editor: A short time ago your paper contained all areicse entitled, Another Flag lueidY-.," which lacks only one element to make it correct, and that is truth.
 The fact, are: That the good people of tnalsSka eslebrsted on July 4th that Judge Whipple was the president of the day al such celebration: that when the people raised their Stars znd Stripes, the captain of an old scow. which had lain high and dry on tbe beach near by and which was st tha a time, and had been for some time iprevioao, in the hands of the United States marshal under an attachment proceeding, raised the British flag. Every Ibody, inr ruding the judge, sup posed it to be done for no other pur- pose than to insult the people who Were r..l al 'I'h, ,,nn,l. tn In1ro Whipple in squads. requesting him to have the obnoxious flag hauled down: they requested him. not as commits ,ioner. but d, president of the day at their celebration. No one thought for a moment that the old scow had the right | to tiaunt the British flag at the time. Judge Whipple spoke to the Deputy |. $. Marshal and asked why he had a | British fla. on the scow while he was l.. $. Marshal and i'm charge of the boat. and requested him to take it down. The marshal did so and it remained down until after the celebration wa.S over. The captain of the ,cow went t@ the [. S. ;. Concord for redress: the commander of the Concord came to see Judge Whipp!e about the matter and ask ed the judge if there was any ob- lection to the flag being put back on the scow. The judge said no, and at the same time told the captain of the scow to put back hi, flag This i> all there is to the whole affair.
 It might be mentioned however, that lJudee Whipple procured an American I flag and asked the captain of thr sco" to raise ia with tAe B1itish flag, in the first instance and he refused. Judge ' Whippl4 never went to the said captain j0n asked him to take down his t.ay. The captain of the Concord did not put up the flag. It was put up on the order of Judge Whipplc ny the captain of the scow. The Concord did not fire q salute. nor did any other ship fire salute. The captain of the kimbaIl, ii Rhe said wh at iS attributed to him, Is simply bald-ftccd liar, nothing more And nothing less.

Editor NUGGET.
 It is evident to everyone who Ob- serves that the town is OverstOcked with idle. proving, dsreputable and vicious characters.

 Nome cannot carry thi, load through out the 5igter. The Dawson dump. added to that which was already here, is too much. Ordinary prudence de- mands that drastic steps be taken to protect the lives a I'd property of the law abiding citizens of this community. Marshal Richards. aided by the city and military aut th@rities, ought not to hesitate longer in d general ruuud-up and deportation.
 The absence of from three hundred to five hundred of the dangerous and ldegraded person, of this city would be Ia paramount fire and police protection. public benefit, and i, q public neces- sity.

More Litigation Involving

 The defendants in the first named ease are Annie Vorliss. A. G. CuShman, A. McCumber anG others. The de- fendants in the case of Mo- are many and include H. X. Fling. Charles Yager. J. A. Ryan,. w. T. Hume. B. o. Williams H. M. Carpenter, A. C. Halstead and Gordon Hall.
 The complaints allege that claims Nos 6 and : were located April 20, 1900, under the names of Belmont and Blizzard, the cresk hhsn being known as Baa ver in the New EldoradO dis arict The plaintiffs ask to be given possession of the claims and &50, ,O0O damages in each case It is also 8lleged in the complaint that Mrs. KHlston and T. P. Ryan hold their in- terests under eOnveyanceS.
 Another suit that is likely to follow will be one involving No. 8, so it is alleged. This claim was also to have gone into the pool, but differences wros { between Miss Lena Walton. the claimant and the other plaintiffs, and she withdrew from the combination Miss WaltOn's statemerts in relation tC No. 8 are similar to those made in the complaints as to Nos. 6 and :.
 Miss Walton. George F. Everton and B. F. SmuldinE formed party. which in April, l9O0- located three claims, tho third called the Daisy. Is is also stated that Beaver creek was staked as early as 1898 by p;orty bound for Kotzebue SOuIlu, tIlollS lilClli Oslhw w > Parcival, now of Nome.

White Quartz, or Willow, Mr. Per civals party named it White Quartz and what is now known as the SawtOOtf range was dubbed White Glaciers, the mountains being covered with snow This was in July, 1898.
 This mining mix-up promises ho be still further complicated, inasmufh as William Snyder, the well known Nom ( mining man, clainbto to have located No. 8 on. Beaver creek on March :, 1900, and that his certificate was recorded on March 8, following
 Some of the defendants in the abov a suits allege that the plaintiffs ane away of; that Gold Klln was never located as Beaver creek, but that in reality the creek of that name is across the divide from Gold Run, where anyone who chooses to do so may easily To- 0ate 1t.
