TIE ATIVES
Report That Some Were
 Starving Not Verified
The Nugget Instituted an !nveSti. gatlon and Found Them Fairly
 We'll Provided For.

Reports having reached THE NUG- GET that number of the natives at present camped on the sandspit, were in danger of starvation, a representative of this paper accompanied by an inter- preter. visited the camping places of the Eskimo on Monday afternoon. No evidence of want was apparent, al though before next spring arrives some of the natives, less thrifty than their fellows. may hear the howlin. of the wolf.
 The natives camped on the sandspit are from the Big Diomedes and Little Diomedes, Kings island and Cape Prince of Wales. It may be set down as a fact that the latter are by far the most industrious and most civilized. They have had the benefit of the good example of teachers and are rather Il credit to their perceptors than other wise.
 When THE NUGGET representative visited their camping places the other night most of them were at supper, though it was not late. Many of them had tea in delf dishes, just like the white man, while there were big bowls Of fish and bread and seal oil, pleasant, apparently, to the smell and taste of the Eskimo, and very comforting with al. All were enjoying themselves, and when the interpreter asked questions the dusky faces were wreathed Tn smiles and an incessant fire of talk was kept up by all the members of the family. Not one was found that did not appear to have plenty to eat. la many of the tents sacks of flour were piled up as well as bacon, fish and even sugar, and plenty of tea, for the Eskimo loves the Chinese beverage.
 '"Kow-kow plenty" was almost uni Fversally heard, but as stated, there are probably few who may be on short rations before next spring. Others are improvident and would sell anything for bottle Of whisky.
 In marked contrast to last year there has been, very little drunkeness among these visitors this year. The city po- lice and deputy marshals have kept pretty strict ''watch and ward," and the miserable white persons who would sell hootch to these people have little opportunity to ply their nefarious business. Several convictions by Con- missioner Reed have also exeried salu- tary effect. 1t was stated the other day that a family of natives on the sandspit were

ties, practiced by American soldiers
upon natives. But in no instance is
there mention made of the indescrib-
able fortunes which have been inflict-
ed upon our own boys.
The text book comes out squarely
for Free Trade. Quoting from page
PIT, the following is a sample:
THE theory of Free Trade is that
both seller and buyer are benefited
by an exchange of commodities and
that, as all are consumers, the great
est good to the greatest number re-
quires that there be no barriers to
trade in order that goods may be al
cheap as possible and the cost of liv-
ing be reduced to a minimum. Free
Trade would open our markets to
benefit our own country. 1t is hos
pitable and seeks peace and good will
with all nations"
After all of their harmony din
ners," and their efforts to compose
their differences of opinion as to is
sues, the Democrats seem to have
settled upon imperialism and
Free Trade" Upon these issues
the Republicans are willing to meet

Thousands of Bushels

One hundred and forty-six acres of
the Ward farm, which lies in Garrett
county along the old Northwestern
Turnpike near the West Virginia
State line, and owned by the Preston
Lumber and Coal Company, were
seeded in oats last spring. The crop
was harvested and last week thresh-
ed, yielding nearly 5000 bushels of
excellent grain. This is the largest
acreage of one kind of grain ever
sown by an individual farmer or cor
poration in Garrett county. The
ground was well prepared prior to
seeding and the bountiful yield is a
great advertisement for the product
iveness of the soil of Garrett county.
The average yield per acre was
nearly 60 bushels. The entire crop
will be used to feed the horses owned
by the Preston Lumber Company.
