A newspapers value as an advcr. tising medium is measured by it's circulation among the people. This is what THE NUGGET guarantees. It does not make promises of circu- lation to be obtained, if possible, at some future time. in order to in duce advertisers to patronlze It. It has the circulation now, and 1t is being constantly increased. TIE NUGGET is the paper of the people. That's why it is read by them. Just remember that TIE NUGGET guarantees circulation greater than the combined circulation Of all other newspapers published Tn Northwestern Alaska.

THE INCORPORATION OF COUNCIL

The people of Council City propose to incorporate their town. This speaks we'll, in the first place. for the growing importance of the camp. and, secondly, for the progressive spirit which is manifested by the promoters of the incorporation idea. The principle of selgovernment is implanted in the breasts of the American people, and submit that he who would prohibit this privilege (ths statement being pred
 cated upon the fact that existing conditions warrant the assuming of such power) is not a good America citizen. It may be of course that conditions are such as forbid the assumption the part of the people to fabrcatc system of self government but this rarely occurs in purely American communities.
 We understand that the prime motive of the Council people 10 incorporate is based upon the desire to schools for the education of the children of the community This is laudable The money paid by Council to the United States government should be expended where it is paid The government will not go into insolvency should it lose the revenues which it now derives from Alaska. If the people of Council decide by their votes to incorporate their town. they should not attempt to "cut too wide a swath" Let them institute economical system of town government and conduct it wisely and we ven- ture the assertion that it will give as much satsfac- tion as can possibly be attained in Ala ka.

RECREATION AND THE LIKE.

The Nome Outdoor Pleasure Clubs skating rink was informally opened on Thursday night. The promoters of the club entitled to need of praise in thus affording the people of Nome opportunity to have some real health giving eXhiiiratng pleas ure. The wise man of Scripture tells us that to cNcrything there Is q season, and time for every purpose under heaven. He does specifically that there is time to skate but doubt that is in cludcd in the broad generalization of his remarks We are sure that if there is time to sing and to laugh and to dance, time ot and time of peace time to be merry and time to Ee sad, there should always be time for such heathful recreation as that which outdoor amusements afford. We have no fault to find with those who dance. We would not if we could, circumscrlbe the limits of human enjoyment that is innoccuou8 in it's effects. There fore e those dance who wish to- let those make merry who feel so inclined. In short let us mourn with those that weep and rejoice with those who re- pletc with happiness. if we can. 'Tho time will soon enough come when the mourners will go about the streets and those that look out the windows be dark ened.
 We are an isolated people, but we need not be- come encrusted with the mold of sedehuess the dry rot of suspicion. We find better employ ment than lying about neighbors sticking a knife into the back of a trusting friend acquant- anec. All of us have faults foibes and most of us a few weaknesses. Let us remember our own raties, while forgving ncghbor his follics. We can do this, if we will.

It is purely business matter and should be treated as such There's no sentiment attached to it. When city warrants are presented for payment and there no funds in the treasury from that time until redeemed they should bear in- terest They will then increase in value and the per. ncious system of hawking them" about the street, which now necessarily must obtain will be in a measure abated.
