ALTHOUGH Lamar did not have
a celebration on the Fourth, all
the business men OF that burg
signed an agreement to close their
doors all day in order to give the
proprietors and their employees an
opportunity to rest and partici-
pate in the celebrations in other
parts of the county. Lamar busi-
ness men evidently do not believe
that the almighty dollar is the
chief end OF existence.

The president OF the United
States is getting fat. and realiza
tion OF the fact gives him no pleas
ure. He has never been OF the
"lean and hungry type. his phyis-
que partaking more OF the charac
teristics OF the trained athlete,
and from his youth up he has de-
voted much care to physical train
ing. In order TO reduce his weight
it is said that the president has
engaged a professional wrestler
with whom.he has bout twice
day. The instructor goes TO the
white house early in the morning
and again at night, and the two
have some strenuous moments
together Ii is said that when the
instructor comes out he always
looks as though he had earned his
money.

FIRE DEPARTMENT AFFAIRS.

Eternal vigilance is said to be the price of liberty. It is also the price of safety far the preservation of Nome from the ravages of fire is concerned. Since the fire in Archer, Ewing Co.'s warehouse, last Sat urday morning, there have been many complaints made concerning the laxity of discipline in the fire department 1t has been stated that there not coal enough in the engine house to get up sufficient steam; even worse than this has been hinted. As rule we pay very little attention to unsupported charges but in this it is evident that somebody bundered." If there was no coal in the engine house whose fault was it Is the whole town to be endangered because of the laches in duty of some employe of the department or the neglect of paid official? 1t may be that the fire committee of the city council is chargeabe. No matter who may be responsible culpabe, there should be rigid in vestgation We not afford to take any chances If employe of the department is negligent in the discharge of his duties it will be found easy mat ter to replace him. By act of negligence gross careessness the greater portion of the town might be endangered.
 The rank and file of the volunteer fire department have done excellent work. They have evinced a devotion and faithfulness to duty that is worthy of all praise and if there has been gross carelessness the part of officials paid employees the volunteer members are in nowse responsible for it.
 Complaints too, are made that the fire chief is lax in the performance of his duty so far the in specton of ues, chimneys stovepipes is concerhed If this official declines to do his plain duty, the city council perform its duty and relieve any official who grows "too big for his breeches."
 Fire protection is the most important question that confronts this community just at present, and the paid look after fire affairs should be held strictly accountable.

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.

The NUGGET has stated repeatedly that if Alaska should be given delegate in congress at the present session of that body, unless eliminate the partisan spirit from our politics here in Northwestern Alaska, we cannot expect to cut much of figure in naming the delegate. We assume that only delegate, if any, will be given the district and unless the people of Northwestern Alaska can unite on some man and suppors him loyalty might almost as we'll give up all hope of having representative from this section.
 Having these facts in view, and realizing the necessity of having thoroughly representative Alaskan to represent Alaska, the NUGGET suggets the Hon. Charles s. Johnson the most suitable man in Alaska for delegate Judge Johnson is an old resi- dent of Alaska, and he knows every part of the dis trict and great many of it's people; he is in every way qualified for the position, and we feel assured that the people of Alaska generally without regard to former political affiliations, would give him a hearty support.
 Judge Johnson's long residence in Southeastern Alaska would him large support in that section, and united Northwestern Alaska could do the rest.
 Then, here's to Judge Johnson for delegate to congress.

the subject numerous. It may be said in defense of the department that if they erred, it because it was thought that the delivery of mail in Nome would be greatly expedited by awarding contract for the transportation of mails by the Iliamna bay route IL is also evident that the Trans-Alaska people made many misrepresentations to the department as to
 their ability to carry out the terms of their contract Their intentions may have been good, but there seems to have been a considerable admixture of hot air with their large promises
 So, while mail accumuiates at Ilamna bay, or is, perchance, scattered along the trail to the Yukon, a few pounds of mail from Dawson and Yukon river points filter into Nome. We suppose that we should be thankful for such small iavors, but not. But what can we do? Anathematize the postofie department and its mail contractors? !? That seems 10 be the only relief for God is afar off. and it is a long way to Washington. Next year-but we for
