Ay, is It wrong? A little longer yet
Then let me love you, Love, before the close
OF these divinest days; the hour grows
Too near too near, when Life's warm sun must set:
All, dearest one, and may we not forget
a little while before the daylight goes2
God help us botl-her eyes have shown she knows
We may repent but never regret.
Give me your hand; We two shall never part;
And when the shadows come, and that cold Door
Shall open on the chill, unspeaking sea,
I even T. shall clasp you to my heart
And walk beside you, then as evermore,
And evermore together we shall be.

Yet the majority of the business men

SUFFERINGS OF MARINES.
Their Terrible Marcn Across the
Island of Samar

Washington, Feb. 1.-General Chaffee
has cabled to the war department q re
port OF the march of Major Waller and
his marines across Samar. 1t is the first
full account OF the march and tells a
tale of terrible suffering and hardship.
Major Joseph Waller, four officers and
90 men from the marine corps, Lieu
tenant Lyles of the Twelfth infantry and
30 native bearers started during the
last of December at LaDgan, on the
coast OF Samar, to cross the island to
Bassey, about 35 miles distant. The
story OF their sufferfngs is told in the
following dispatch:
The war department is advised of
the trip of Major Waller, four officers
and so men of the marine corps, SO
native bearers, with four days rations,
who started the last week of December
from Langan, on the east coast of
Samar, to cross the island to Bassey,
about 30 miles on map. A trail at one
time existed, but was found in places
only. Lieutenant Lyles, Twelfth in
fantry, accompanied the command.
lncessant rains from the start, swollen
streams and other natural obstacles
made progress extremely slow. When
ratiOns we're consumed the men became
exhausted rapidly, dropping on the way
Major Waller, who separated from Cap
tain Porter, Lieutenant r. 2. Williams
and the larger part of the men, proceed
ed toward Bassey, where he arrived
January 8, with two officers, 13 men,
also Lieutenant Lyles. He returned to
the mountains with relief, but returned
to Bassey unsuccessful. Porter was to
build RATS, but the timber would not
float. The second day after separating
from Waller, Porter moved toward
Langan, arriving January II, with two
men and all exhausted. Lieutenant R.
2. Williams and over 80 men were left
in the mountains in a similar condition
with native bearers. relief expedition,
under Lieutenant K. P Williams, First
infantry, was delayed in starting two
days by storm raging and torrent in
IN the river. 1t started on the 18th
and reached the marines on the 18th,
saving Lieutenant Williams and all ex-
cept 10 men not found, who are no
doubt dead of starvation, namely:
Prlvates Tangule, Foster, g. M. Britt,
L. Wards, Brown, E. E. Murray, T.
Buffet, Bailey, Baroni. Connell. R.
Kettle died in the hospital at Tactoban
January 13. Captain Porter, Lieuten-
ant Williams and Is men are in the
hospital at Tactoban. They are not
very clear in mind regarding much OF
the time covered by the period OF suffer
ing. All will probably recover. Major
Waller at present is disordered in his
recollections. The suffering of this COM
man1 for 20 days can not be described
The efforts of Lieutenant Williams, First
infantry, and the relief party are un-
eQualled for courage and lahorN

Fastest Boat In the World.

The submarine boat recently built for
the Russian government is supposed to
be the fastest in the world. 1t is claimed

liar construction. The secret of the
marvellous success of Hostetter's StOm-

GIVE IT A HEARTY SUPPORT.

The NUGGET is glad to state that immediate steps to be taken to raise funds for the relief of the destitute of Nome The NUGGET has advocated organ ized action for some time. How many real deserv- ing cases of Restitution there in the city do not know but it is certain that there number. There is belief among those who have given the matter some attention that no widespread des- lituon prevails; still there is enough call for i'm mediate action
 The committee appointed last Tuesday night to formulate plan of action have not been Idle. Under the energetic direction of Captain J. E. Hansen, of the Northern Commercial Company, matters have crystalized and the method of raising relief fund has been decided upon. A charity ball will be held on next Wednesday evening. The expenses attached to it will be merely nominal and large sum will undoubtedly be realized. This money raised will be placed in the hands of a committee who will see that 1t is properly expended, and only those who are really in need of assistance wIl be the recipients.
 There is great deal of misdirected charity ill the world but if proper be taken in the distribution of the fund there will be for complaint. It is be hoped that the people of Nome will respond
 literally to this demand and purchase many tickets as each can afford. In this way the burden will be evenly distributed, and those who are in want through fault of their own, will deceive at least temporary relief.

THt "CARPET BAG" SYSTEM.

Men and brethren, the time has about arrived when Alaska should unitedly protest against federal carpet bag appointments" That is to say, the white population is large enough. when federal appointment is 10 be made, for the people to demand that resident of Alaska be appointed thereto.
 Carpet bag appointments have been the hanc of all territories, and all have protested against the system. It took years to eace it, but in most the agitation against the system bore fruit The South, during the reconstruction, suffered, perhaps, much more than any other section of the United States. The carpet bag appointees were all-powerfui, and in position to balk any attempt that might be made to reach the administration at Washington. But relief came in the of time. Most of us who have lived in the " territories "-especially in Aaska-know how deaf is the of Washington ofciadom; our prayers and groans don't amount to much, but if we take concerted action and keep up constant agitation redress will come in time.
 Alaska for Alaskans is good motto Those who think they are only temporary sojournefs in a strange land will, the years go by, and they find that they have have become permanent residents of the country in spite, perhaps, of their desire, take upon themselves the whole duty of citizens, which they now affect to despse little leaven leavens the whole lump' and it is beginning to work, slowly, it is true but surely

AN EMPIRE WlTHlN ITSELF.

Taken as a whole, Alaska is an empire within itself It has diversified climate as well as diversi fed resources. Southeastern Alaska has temperate climate; it has magnificent timber forests ana eS'eh sive mineral deposits it has river valleys that are susceptible of cultivation, and which are suitable TOT stock raising; it has the most extensive fisheries Tn the world and from this source alone millions of dollars have been reaped in the past years.
 In Northwestern Alaska we have also a magnificent domain for ill this section we include the great Yukon valley below the international boundary line Hitherto in other articles we have adverted to its agricultural and grazing possibilities, nay prop abilities. The series of articles from the pen of Capain Conrad Sem, which have been appearing regularly in the NUGGET for weeks past have enlarged the horizon of our views concerning the frozen regions contiguous to Berng to the possibilities Of this section lit has been shown that in the waters ot 'Beripg sea fortunes are to be male, while the land adjacent may be turned to profitable use after ex- tracting the gold beneath it's surface We refer par ticuarly to the reindeer industry. Time was when Rev. Sheldon Jackson, the father o the Alaskan rem deer idea was the subject of vtriollc ampoons and scorn infinite because he advocated the introduction of reindeer into this secton-and accomplished It. b.. Jacksons leading idea however, was the use of the reindeer as means for sustenance ot the Eskimo But We doubt if the Eskimo will live long enough to be- come experienced reindeer It will remain for the v lite man to take up the industry and prosecute it intellgently The vast plains of the Western States and territories which afforded food for hundreds of thousands of cattle, have practically, passed away, and as result the cost of cattle raising has largely increased But here in Northwestern Alaska there are millions of of pasture ground for reindeer, and upon millions of reindeer can find sustenance The flesh of the reindeer is decacy and no part of it need be wasted in the methods of modern economy and industry.
 The idea of reindeer raising an independent pursuit may be thought chimerical by some, but there is little that may be termed in these modern utilitaran days. That immense herds of reindeer will be raised on these shores in the immediate future . can scarcely be doubted. And the industry will prove profitable.
