WHAT WILL YOU HAVE |?

We are pleased to note that the city. council has lost no time in considering the question of patent for the townsite. There is old and trite saying that what is ybody's business is nobodys busi- ness. and we take it that this is the why the townsite matter remained so long dormant. To the NUGGET, therefore, may modestly and truthfully say, belongs the credit for bringing the question prominently before the people. If this town is to amount to anything as a commercial and mining center, those men who have come here to engage in business and to make their home here must be pro- tected. Nome is an incorporated city, with powers possessed by but few towns or cities elsewhere in the United States, and yet the greater portion of the townsite is claimed by very few people. We are
 free to express belief that the townsite belongs to the people who have made the town. and not to q corporation individual who early in the history of the hamlet saw fit to plaster it for miles with placerlocaton notices. That is the position which the NUGGET takes, because i. has interests at stake and because the people at large for whose in
 erests it also stands, directly interested. since it is matter of dollars and cents to them. It has been urged that to secure patent for the townsite would entail burdensome expense. It would not. But to sit idly by and two three persons obtain a patent to the townsite would be tantamount to inviting hodup unparalleled in the townsite history of the country.
 The expenses entailed in securing townsite patent will assured be nominal, and it seems to us it is up to the people of the community, who most vitally interested, to say whether shall obtain townsite patent. Either are not to have town of considerable importance here on the shores of Boring sea- either Seward peninsula
 is is not destined to be great gold producer. If the affirmative view is taken, there can be bat
 logical course to pursue; if negative then, of course, it matters little. But the NUGGET believes in the unlimited possibilities of Northwestern Alaska, and in the future of Nome its commercial metropolis.

A T!ME-HONORED INSTITUTION.

The grand jury is in session; it is believed to be composed largely of intelligent and men, who desire the welfare of Nome and this entire section grand jury is a sort of penetrating body; it usually inquiries into existing conditions and the treason of things" it recommends; its recommendations are duly recorded and there its mission usually ends The returning of indictments against persons charged with misdeeds is only part of the duties of grand jury. It is supposed to investigate real or alleged grievances and to lend sympathetic to any tale of woe that may be brought before it. Nome is not saintly city. l. is composed of good and bad mel, and women; its morals are neither better nor worse than those of much more pretentious towns; indeed it is pigmy in evil ways compared with some cities where civilization is supposed to be rampant and virtue shines like the daysprng in all its effulgent glory. However, there evils that exist in Nome that need investigation True, the investigation may not unearth much but its influence will be felt
 Kipling wrote that there exists no flaw of God or man north of fifty ythree," but Kipling is not the first educated ass to make mistake. The laws of God and man are found long way north of "ffty-three" and if by chance the poles should be discovered and peopled by Americans, both will soon be found at earths renotest bounds.
 We are inclined to be proud of Nome's record for the preservation of law and order; proud of the character of the great maj ajority of its people, their intelligence, loyalty and patriotism. But under the there evils; there is vice which should be made to hide its head, at least in the noonday there nusances which should be abaed; there is protection which should be afforded. Men are normally honest, and while honesty deserves no premium, the acts of honest in public place are always worthy of commendat:on. The limclight of legitimate investigation is always timely. It can do no harm since it has no fears for the well-doer As for the doer of evel, let him quake.
 Taken by and large the grand jury is sort of paternal insution it may chide us, may correct us, denounce folies and fobles and act as an alter ative As institution it has been derided and con. demned but it has its uses and certainly is entitled to the respect of any community

heated arguments as to. their COM
parative merits as ball players, and
determined to settle the matter on
the diamond by series of games.
The first game was played on Fri
day afternoon of last week, and re
suited in favor of the single men
by score of 10 to 6. The married
men gave all sorts of excuses for
their failure to make better show
ing, the captain and first baseman
claiming that he was laboring under
such stress of high nervous ex-
citement, on account of recent
happy event, as not to appear at
his best.
The second contest was played
on Wednesday and the way the
single men pounded the ball
and kept their married. opponents
on the run after the leather was a
revelation. The score was AZ to 81
in favor of the bachelors. The
drug stores have been kept
busy since the games dealing
dealing out witch hazel and arnica
and caring for the cripples, and
the married men are compelled to
admit they are not in the same

saying if he did not leave he would
shoot him. "Shoot," said Hardy,
"that's what I want you to do"
and as he stopped to pick up a
stone Duff fired. The charge struck
Hardy in the hip and tore up his
back, entering the back of his head,
and he died within a few minutes.
