AS 10 STREET SP!EilNG.

Some of the transportation concerns, great and small, cherish the belief that the newspapers of Nome were largely responsible for the arti-spieng ordinance passed this spring by the city council.
 It IS gratifying to know, however, that General Manager Washburn and Superintendent Hansen of the Northern Commercial Company, are heartily in favor of the ordinance. Both these gentlemen un- hositatngly denounce "spieng' the nuisance that 1t really IS. The steamers operated by this and other reputable companies do not need the services of the spieler.
 We are of the opinion that few men who last year made considerable money by making the town verltable bedlam, soaring women and fright ening children by the din that they raised, the most aggrieved parties. Some of these men to Nome for the express purpose of plying their avoca ton this summer. They, naturally, were disap- pointed at finding their occupation gone. But, in behalf of nnety-nine per cent of the people of Nome however. we may say they heartily glad that the voice of the spieler is longer heard in the land We do not believe that any legitimate transportation company has any grounds for objection. The fly by night concerns may, but the public usually take care of them,

ORIGINAL VIEW OF. MISSIONARY WORK.

Governor John c. Brady of Alaska who is noh-
 ing II not original, has presented to the ladies of the Occidental Board of Missions varied or rportunies for effective missionary work He would ntrust the task of interesting natives in religion to men who could also help them 10 earn living. While not opposed to preaching or Bible reading. he would combine services of that character with the establish
 lnent of sawmills and canneries. While Governor Brady would doubtless admit that there is no eeeca
 passage in the Bible authorizing the establishment of industries, he will claim that the understanding of the native is more easily reached through the stomach than through the brain. The preaching missionary will make more converts among men who well fed, we'll clothed and have money in bank than among those who are hungry half naked and moneyess In Alaska paying line of work is the construction of sawmills and canneries The raw material for these industries is plentiful and cheap The demand for the product of the mills insures representations of the industrial outlook in Alaska correct, ard this being the case, the missionary should be sought by would be converts instead of having to seek reluctant ones. Supply a mans physical necessities and he will turn a willing ear to spiritual counsel One of the unpleasant features of missionary work is the occasional failure of parent societies to supply necessary funds. When mis-
 sonary has to make frequent appeals for money he lays himself Open the charge of nercenaYy motives

NOME'S SANITARY CONDITION.

We have heard few complaints as to Nomes alleged unsaniary condition, but investigation does not show the reports to be well founded. When it is considered that there is comprehensive drainage system in the town, it must be confessed that con siderable care has been exercised by the municipal authorities to keep the city in clean condition as circumstances financial and otherwise, will per nit The streets might be cleaned oftener than they are, perhaps but it costs money and the treasury is
 in no condition at the present time to stand much of drain. Next year, it is to be hoped that partial sewerage system may be inaugurated Certainly We do not see how it can be brought about this year Health Officer Tiedemann and the chief of police it seems to us, have exercised great diligence in seeing that the removal of garbage and ofal was speedily effected. The absence ofany great amount of sickness IS proof of the fact The ctys excellent water sup ply, too, is boon and does much toward preserving the health of the town.
