STARVING NATIVES
 AT CAPE ECM!El:: s:
Twelve or IS Women and ,Chiidre n Practically Without Food
 sant: Clothing.

The NUGGETS travelling represen- tative, R. T. Chesnut. under date of January 9, writes concerning the des- titution prevailing at the native village just west of Cape Nome. Ee >ays: "it seems that thereaaie l2 or l5 of these natives, no7tly women and little cbil. dren, who rre absolutely destitute. They are withMlt'food or cl"thinp, the 'former more particularly. For the past two or three weeks they have been .ina most deploHble condl ten, coming to the road houses ,f Mr. Rigley and Mir. McMullen, at the wet side of the cape, and to Mrs. Ginivin's house east of that point.
 "F'rom what MessrS. Rigley and Me Mullen -ay. it is -pili.ul to see such dis tress. They have furnished he>e poor natives meal after neal. and have given them provisions to carry hack to their miserable iglOos. The limit oi their clarity has aai'oui been reached, sand it is sugeesie tia it is about time that the government officials, either civil or military, or both. lent help ing hand.
 "Mr. Rigley has also written Mayor Gie7e, of Nome, laying the situation before h m. but None ha, about all i, can attend to taking care of it's own destitute"
 ". H. Francis, who reached Nome Monday evening from Cape Nome, says that the condition of the natives at that place has not been exaggerated. They have not been able to catch their usual supply of tomcod, for some reason brother. They say 'tomcod peluk." MT. Francis says there are l7 natives at the village of six igloes on the ol her side of Cape None, four of them being men, the others women and small chil- dran. They have no furs of which to make cltthing, no mukluks, and most of them are wearing gunny sacks for foot covering. The white people at Cape Nome have done what they could, but they are not able to meet the emer- gency. As Mir. Francis passed through the village the cry for food was So great that he gave them all he had with him-a sack of meal.

Awful Suffering of George A. Carpenter
 on Noxapaga Divide.
Becoming tHfausted His Two Companions Covered 'na With Snow and Left Him, Where lie Remained Y ioms---ro.h Hands agd Feet Badly Frczen~
 Rescued and ought to KougareA City.

Seventeen hours covered by snow Eand taken out, his hands and feet and other parts of his body frozen solid. is the fate that overtc ok George A. Car penter on the divide between the Noxa- paga and Good Hope few daysago. He was finally rescued and taken to Kougarok City, but little hope is en- tertained that he will recover His companions, man named Hunter and another whoselname is unknown, were also badly frozen.
 George A.'Carpen,er is the NUGGET representative who went into the Candle creek country, December ,. last, in order to look over the country and obtain ac II ate information as to the extent of the strike and the general conditions prevailing in the keewalik country.
 News of the terrible misfortune was brought toethe NUGGET offise asL night by John c. Smith. of Hastings creek, and Robert Brown, who left Kougarok Cisy four days ago. Mir. Carpenter left CanIie creek on January 3, in com pany with Hunter and another man, whuse nau Messrs. Smith and Brown had forgotten. They, too, are badly frozen. but they will probably not be mamcd.
 On the divide between Good Hope and NoXapasa q furious blizzard came on and they went into eanp. They re- mained there for e upl, of days, wheG the weather cleared, and they resumed their journey. Ihas- AVehe PiSactiea'ls 7 without food, except for little raw aeon.
 The cold was intense, and another bl Zzard came up, the snow drifting Il tva-t clouds before the Liting, driving wind, and their dogs soon gave out. The poor animals could not move; sn the three men were forced to abandon them, also their tent and bedding. They could not pitch tent so herce was the storm, and they determined tc make, their way to q road hous some l5 or 20 miles, distant. After travelling fUr some time, Carpenter gave signs of weakening. and Hunter cheered him up and helped him all that he could. Finally Carpenter could proceed no farther. He told his companions to go on to the road ho ,se. "Il take chances of some one coming back" he said. Then his partners in distress wrapped him up ,the best they could, put handkerchief over his face and covered him with snow. Again the two remaining men p, shed on, blinded by the drifting snow and benumbed

WALLA WALLA DISASTER.
All Victims Now Missing Probably
Went Down With Vessel.

San Francisco, Jan. 7.-Nothing has
been heard of the missing victims of
the Walla Walla disaster, and it is
feared they all went down with the
steamer. The statement of Lookout
Johnson, made to the coroner's jury,
at Eureka, that he saw the lights on
the bark Max and warned the officers
on the bridge Of the Walla Walla, is
denied by them. Other members of
the crew of the Walla Walla corrobo-
rate Johnson's assertion that the
lights on the French bark were visi-
BILE. The conflicting statements will
be investigated by the United States
marine authorities and the RESPONSE
bility for the disaster fixed.

tinction should be made and the
others ought to be ordered removed
also.
The trouble, in the committees opfn-
ion, vas that the city had no build
ing ordinance and until one was pass
ed and it became necessary for parties
desiring to build to secure a permit
from a competent person violations
of the character complained of would
continue, as there was absolutely no
way of keeping track of the building
operations going on about the city.
The committee asked the opinion of
the city attorney if the council posses
sed the authority to order the offend
ing buildings torn down.
To this Mr.. Johnston replied that
such authority rested in the council,
as all such buildings were nuisances
under the law.
Further interest was injected into
the proceedings by the objection of a
property owner, who appealed to the
council to enforce the ordinance. He
said that the building complained of,
belonging to a man named Barth, now
out of the city, was within 40 feet of
his premises and if it was permitted
to be completed he would suffer to
the extent of being compelled to pay
higher insurance rates. His rate had
been raised on several occasions be-
cause of the erection of the frame
buildings in proximity to his property
and he had been notified that the rate
he now had was subject to a further
raise. If Barth and others were per-
mitted to violate the ordinance he
would like to have the same privilege,
as he was preparing to build and
would prefer to use lumber in place
of the brick he had already ordered
because the former was considerably
cheaper.
Berky expressed himself as in favor
Of a rigid enforcement of the ordi-
nance, regardless of whom it affect
ed. Buildings erected in violation Of
it should be crt.red torn down.
Connolly said the matter was in
the hands of the mayor and chief OF
police and the council had nothing to
do with it.
Reynolds was of the same opinion
and recited the fact that sometime
ago the chiefs attention had been
called to violations of the ordinance,
and that in a forcible manner The
councils time was taken up with
listening to complaints, when it was
the duty of the police to enfore the.
ordinances of the city. The ordinance
in this matter should be enforced the
same as the one prohibiting drunken
ness on the streets and arrests under
it should be made with the same dis
regard as to whom was affected.
The mayors sympathy was not on
the side of the gentlemen who wanted
action of the unmistakable sort and
he suggested postponement of furth-
err consideration until both sides to
the controversy should have an OPP
portunity to be heard. This settled
the discussion and the council ad-
journed without having done any
thing toward securing better recogni-
ton of the ordinance or maintaining
the city's dignity or authority.
Meanwhile the carpenters were at
work finishing the shack which had
caused all the commotion.
