 We confess to feeling akin pity for the people of "the States" who waste many sghs, some tears, no doubt, and whole lot of time, that would be valuable in Alaska, in bewalng our hard lot and in pitying our isolationv and general benightedness The average man.in great city is slave chained in rut, where he must plod but never think, save as to how he will make both ends meet on the mor- row.

THE DAY OF THE NICKEL.

It is said that just prior to the sailing of the steamship Queen number of gamblers gathered up about bushel of nickels and shipped them to Se- attle We notice, however that there are few left which still find their way into the channels of trade This is to be expected in any community where >modities sell for triAing amounts If you are ob- servant and read the signs displayed about town and "keep tab'' on the NuGcErs advertising columns, you will find the Inducements offered in exchange for yohs nfckels, even in this region remote from what 'we are pleased to call civilization
 You also may have observed by the aid of the signmakers skill that you can get 2S oaves of bread 'for dolar and certain dispenser of alleged wet goods announces, through the instrumentality of speler and faring red sign, that you get "three drinks for twenty cents" Of course neither the spieler nor his employer says anything that would tend to enlighen you in regard to the quality of the liquid whose alleged charms and spirituality he is shouting
 There was time, not long ago, when the smallest piece of change to be found was two bit" piece. Indeed, many will recall the time when they made 1.-two bits" change from their gold sacks But this was on the Yukon before Nome was discov cred and when the nickel was unknown.
 There is a scriptural quotation which tells you mot to despise the day of small things and in large S"PPooo offensive, but in mining camps the despised nickel We are not welded to the nickel nor can we truth fully say that we admire the dme-away from their native heath That we find them in circulation here as we'll occasional "red cent, is due to the fact thatwe are in the open of navigation, within easy reach of the commercial centers of the United States Therefore it will be found hard to banish the nickel, no matter how much we may desire it. We may ship it out, but every cheechako will return it to us. It will be the proverbial bad penny-it will come back
 -Norheis destined to be ''cheap" camp Its geo. graphical position forces this concluson while con- versely its climatic surroundings entte it to be one of the "dearest on earth. Labor is higher, but for some time past commercial commodities have been as cheap or cheaper than on the outside.
 A favored few have been enabled, and are enabled to charge big prices. Among these are the wholesale and retail dealers in meat and the Standard Oil Company, although for the latter it must be said that the price has been kept at uniform rate.
 We would be glad to see the last of the nickel perhaps we could get along without the ready dime y but 1t is mo use trying to bansh them. They have come 10 stay and if they taken of the dollars will care of themselves. This is bit of homey wisdom that costs nothing.

THE NOME FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Nome has been fortunate in having had but one serious fire in its history There are, in fact few towns in the United States that can boast of sim liar record in this particular That we have been comparatively immune is no doubt, due in part to sheer luck, and in part to precautions which have been taken to prevent the starting of fire The old saying that an of prevention is worth pound of cure applies to every community far fire pre- cautions concerned Nome is now equipped with fine fire engine house, two fire engines and two hose carts All in good order. The new chem ical engine purchased by Mayor Giese during his visit to the outside last is now in place. and the department lacks but an efficient volunteer force This is matter which, we think concerns every property within the fire limits. Each one should lend his aid in securing fairly efficient force to fight fire if it should occur fire in Nome would be calamitous thing, and it is the plain duty of it's citizens to guard in every way possible against it. This can be done ill watching carefully stoves and stove pipes, in keeping them in good order, thus re- ducing the fire risk to the lowest possible minimum Then the fire department should be placed upon servceable footing. It is down at the heel at present, but there is ample material in this city to form admirable fire corps Let each get in and help, and tonight will be good time to start for meeting will be held at the engine house, its purpose being to reconstruct the department.

Some of them even *apt SO" biggtty" that they imagined they were IT tor atme, until brought to lively realization that they were not the only wh:te-fronted icebergs in Alaska. Taken all :n all, however there were 70 serious .ruptures, and what thought would be rwintsr of discontent passed rather pleasantly.
 It is undoubtedly true that in an isolated com ,munty people are prone to grow narrow but while 'making this statement wish to say that there ""isolated communities elsewhere than in Alaskan

Few there know their neighbors and soare nothing for their welfare. They have but one advantage over those remote, that is, they are in "touch with. the world" but not with each other lHere tor instance we in touch with each other tbut not with the world.

New York, July 2.-The following
statement in regard to the labor trou-
Dies was given to the Associated
Press at the offices of the executive
committee OF the United States Steel
corporation:
"The United States Steel corpora

formation has been received from the
officers of the American Steel Hoop

questions which have been discussed
by them and representatives of the
Amalgamated Association grow out of
the request by the latter to extend
union labor into mills in which union
labor has not heretofore existed; that
the officers of the two companies
above mentioned have expressed
Willingness to sign the Amalgamatad
Association scale for mills in, which
their unions have heretofore existed

New York, July 2.-At $40 D. m.

that in the 80 years preceding on only
two days in all that period has a

These were July 9, 1876, and July 3,
1898. On these days the thermometer
reached SO degs.
In the early morning hours there
was what might be called light
breeze blowing, but in the early part
of the afternoon the breeze died away
and the city was baking in torrid
heat. The suffering in the city. par
ticularly in the crowded tenement
house districts, was most intense. As
the day grew the deaths and prostra-

tions were made in all hospitals for

made upon their energies.
During the day there were reported
81 deaths and 14l prostrations in the
boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx
During the same time 21 deaths and
Sc prostrations had been reported in
Brooklyn.
There were SO many ambulance
calls that the police We're called on
to supply patrol wagons and every
ambulance did double duty in re-
spending to calls.
Many patients were carried to hos.

BIG STRIKE NOW ON.
Al Union Hoop and Sheet Steel Mills
Are Idle

Plttsburg, July 2.-The end of the
Hrst day of the strike troubles be-
tween the Amalgamated Association
OF Iron, Steel and Tin Workers en-
one side and the American Sheet Steel
company and American Steel Hoop
company, constituent companies OF
the United States Steel corporation
on the other, found all of the union
plants idle and many workers from
open mills who are members of the
Amalgamated Association on strike.
lhe association officials say they are
satisfied with the situation and claim
they will be able to contro. between
$4,000 and 10000 workmen in the two
companies. No move was made on
versy and it is doubtful if anything
decisive will be done for at least
week. Both men and manufacturers
agree that a shutdown for about two
weeks is necessary whether settle
ment is reached or not. In the mean
time the association officials will make
every preparation to be fully equipped
for prolonged struggle should it be-
come necessary.
While officials of neither side will
venture prediction much quiet tall,
is being ndulged in. the trend of
which leads to the belief that before
the usual summer shutdown of the
mills has expired settlement will
have been reached and the men who
are now nominally on strike return
to work.
The Amalgamated officials do not
consider the negotiations with the
Steel Hoop company broken off. but
still pending and may be renewed at
any time. J. w. jerks, manager of
the company, is of the same mind
and intimated that the matter might
