Visiting Natives Like Nome for
 Its Whisky.
DISGUSTING SCENES
That Are Enacted Daily In and About Nome Drunken Natives, Men and Women, to Be Seen Night and Day Should Be Compelled to Leave.

The NUGGET has repeatedly directed natives, who have come to Nome from all parts of the coast. They came with furS. mukluks and ivory to trade. and with the expectation of being able to get plenty of whisky. for members of their tribes, who had previously visited Nome. told on their return home of the ease and facility with which whisky could be purchased in Nome. So the natives have come in scores. anu there has been d continual round of de- bauchery ever since.
 There are lj0 natives camped on the beach in the vicinity of Nome. Yes terday NUGGET representative, who speaks their language, visited several camps and witnessed some of the most disgusting scenes that can be imagined. Men and women were staggering about or lying in their tents in a state of semi-,tupor, the victims of the white man whisky, which they dearly love. In one tent were two drunken men from the DiOmedeS, in Bering strait. and a drunken native woman named Nora. She was sane enough to testify that she had gotten her whisky from white men. Other natives said that a white man had given her whisky for purpose which they were ashamed to state.
 In one of the tents occupied by Cape Prince of Wales natives was a man so crazed with liquor that by force he had to be restrained from attacking an in offensive little child sitting in one corner of the tent. Other natives ir the same tent were in a state of sem or complete intoxication. Near the mouth of Nome river the scenes O degradation are fully as bad, if no
 worse than in and about Nome. There i, one continual round of intoxication | Ut is serious question that is being solved in this manner,' said Dr. F. H Gambell, formerly superintendent O the Eaton reindeer station. "Tht time for the natives to catch theil winter supply of fish is fast going by They have traded all their ivory ant skins away, and have not enough pro visions in hand to keep them two months of the long Arctic winter. The proper authorities should see that these natives are compelled to leave for their different homes, for some have stated that they expect to stay all winter, as me ketchem plenty whisky Nome.

Geiger sug- gested that the Ryan building on First avenue could be rented and that later u building near the S-Y. T. Co.,. on Front street east, could also be secured.
 The following bills were ordered paid: Cribbs & Rogers, SIS; Nestor & Lyng. 9.2O: Nome NUGGET. $50.
 A discussion over street work and the city team followed, McPhee roasting some of the members of the council, who, he said, were always ready to at tend to everybody's business, but not their own. The team was ordered sold and Hoxsie, Rickard and Harris were appointed q committee to make the sale. The bill of Arthur Gibson for sl,50O for making d plat of the city was also ordered paid, Acting Mayor Harris re- "We'rp the suckers and We should pay it out of our own pocketS.'

 Fire Chief Stanley reported that Capt. Sieberg, of the Electric Light Company, had offered to house and care for hose cart and hose at the company's power house on the spit. He also recommended that arrangements be made for lighting the engine house by electricity.
