scme of the streets has hampered the
progress of the city to some extent as
well as caused much complaint on the
part of citizens who have to tread
through them.
While the new budget may not carry
much over $1,000 or 1000 for street i'm
provement it is probable that a system
will be adopted by which the citizens may
be given good payements TO Walk on

The Business-Mens Association sug-

many needed improvements.

WILL THE STRIFE CONTINUE?

Judge Moore has returned and Marshal Richards is on his way to Nome and the inference is that the status quo heretofore prevailing will be maintained Judpe Moore's visit in Washington extremely brief as to tme it is said, and he evidently came to the conclusion that the best thing he could do was to come back to Nome and his judicial duties, and to submit to the inevitable return also of the marshal of this judicial division.
 TIE NVGGET has had occasion to remark many times heretofore that the continual brawlngs, back biting slandering and scandal mongering, which too frequently mark federal official life in Alaska, is nauseatIng. Some day the people will become so utterly worn out with these contentious that they will find effectual remedy for them. The unseemly ouarres and strife of the past three years in this gu1lcal division have been great detrment to the 1cvelopmegt of this section.

A FEW WORDS OF WISDOM.

"I have occasionally read TIE NUGGET for the past two years, even to the advertisements" said Senator Nelson, during his recent visit "I generally read advertisements in my home papers when have the time and 1 invariably do when l find paper from some section in which l have friends or in which l am interested The amount of advertis ing in a newspaper is good index of the progress and prosperity of a town. If you have live busi. ness community the newspaper will reflect it in its columns" The senator added more, but the above will serve a text Facetiously, they call Senator Nelson the agricultural senator" but that he is no
 farmer" of the Reuben type needs no demonstration. In few words he preached little sermon on the value of good newspaper and its advantage to a community And he is right The newspaper that is newspaper in the real sense of the word is con stantly working for the advancement of its constu- ency Its work is ceaseless and far-reaching. It IS sowing seed that others may reap yet it does so freely and uncomplainingly. There was time when the town crier" was the only advertising vehicle, but the advent and growth of newspapers gave the death blow to a time-honored business
 Nowadays, in every live community, the active business realizes the worth and value of news paper The growth and development of new com munities, and of old well are materially aided by the newspaper This is no more observable than in the northwest section of the United States and
 in this great northland. The growth and develop ment of the Klondike region has been attributable
 in large way, to its newspapers, which while talth- fully exploiting the great mineral resources of that great section, have been the means of making money not only for themselves, but for the business com munites in which they are established. well-sup ported newspaper is, therefore, as Senator Nelson truly remarked the best index of the prosperity and
 progress of any community.

A NON.STRENUOUS LIFE.

much revered philanthropist of Chicago, who has attained the age of S3 years, and accumulated several millions, which he has donated to higher edu cation tells how he has accomplished both feats His age he attributes to common sense and careful re gard for his stomach; and his millions to the fact that he bought Chicago real estate long years ago and never spent the profits ...s nlv, usveI went to the theatre but once; horse race football or baseball game. These facts being true 1t Is easy to believe that he had careful regard foi his stomach overlooking it with rich foods and expensive delicaces.
 The stone fences adorning the college campus will forever testify that he eschewed errapn and celery. fed canvasbacks and the stad echoing walls of the depopulated college library will be memorial to his wisdom in 'never going where he could be excit- ed'-never, for example, leaning out of the grand stand yelling at ten-to-one shot away back in the ruck. Perhaps the most conspicuous virtue of the good man is his absence of that pernicous Sporting blood" which animates so many of our people at times
 This exemplary life happily dspels fallacy that has found more or less acceptance among cynics. to the effect that weak stomachs are responsible for much of our recttude Here is normal digstion con. sistent with steady, not to say placid, virtues.
 But it does not necessarily follow from this worthy career that the related proposition is true, namely, that cold pulse entails correct living. Napoteons pulse only registered fortysx to the minute and he well, he was rather highstrung and impetuous, to say the least.
 As an antidoes for the strenuosty which is so in- discriminatory preached the example of this prudent and patient real estate buyer and donor should te urged upon the American people. Pause moment in the mad hurly -burly to meditate upon the tri umphs of correct living and economy, assisted by the rise in Chicago values.
