SHALL ANYTHING BE DONE?

Now, if as ore-hadowed in President Roosevrt's message to congress congressional committee should come to Alaska to investigate our needs and require ments what of this great section of the district going to say that committee? Are going to re- solve ourselves into little cliques and factions and each cotere tell the committee different tales as to We going to unite on a definite line of acton and make unanimous presentat ation of our case? That a congressional committee will visit Alaska the coming summer is more than likely; that congress will pass little legislation for Alaska. pending the report of that committee, may be taken as probable If egis- lation of practical utility he given Alaska at the present session. we shall be agreeabv surprised.
 It is that the house has passed LacyS land bill, but it does follow that the senate has followed the example set by the house. that the act if it become law will be made operative by congress making the necessary appropriation for surveys In any event il is extremely probable that the committee will visit Alaska and make q report upon existing conditions. That committee will visit Nome, and it it Is essential the welfare of this community that the local situation, its needs conditions and reQureme be placed before the committee in intelligent and comprehensive way.
 Nome needs an active public organization of some kind cne that will take the time to formulate meas. ures for the commOn veal of this entire section Whether such an organization can be instituted and ma utained we do not know, but of the opn- ion that it can. h the meantime, We believe that every business in Northwestern Alaska will readily the necessity that exists fer nr lIiget co-operation on the part of its citizens If such be had great good will undoubtedly accrue.

AS TO RAILROAD GRANTS.

THE NUGGET Is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Vol ney T.

ROOSEVELT ON ALASKA.

President Roosevelt, annual message to Congress- Esceved by the last mail, shows that he did not look Alaska, when making recommendations as to the legislation needed by this portion of the ned Statco And his recommendations, touching Alaska, are to the point tthough perhaps, they do not 20 far some could wish Nevertheless they wlll be found to be emnently satisfactory congress should follow cut the recommendations thus made and enact legislation based thereon.
 President Roosevelt states that it is not to our credit as nation that Alaska, which has been ours for thrty-tiye years, should still have poor sys tenn of laws as is the No country has more valuable possession-in mineral wealth, in fisheries furs forests and also in land available for certain kinds of farming and stock growing
 This is just what TIE NUGGET has been telling the Ie)pls number of years, and it is especially gratifying to know that President Roosevelt has been broad enough to grasp the situation as it is and then suggest the remedy We say it is gratifying because presidential messages heretofore have contained scant reference to AIaska.
 The prssidedent urges that a good land iaw' be enacted with such provisions for homesteads and pre- emptsns as will encourage permanent settlement. He also suggests that legislation be shaped with a view not to the exploiting and abandoning of the territory but to the building up of homes therein. While the president favors protection of Alaska for ssts he would not debar settlers from cutting timber for their He also urges strongly protection for the Alaska salmon against the greed which would destroy them," and last but not least he says that Alaska should have delegate in the congress, and he further that it would be we'll if congressional committee could visit Alaska and invest gate its needs
 As we have remarked there is hope and encour- agemens in the message for Alaska. The people ex- peeted it and they have not been disappointed.

OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE.

If to believe ithe of he reports that have reached Nome thus early from the ouside, bright future is in store for this section. Lately TIE NUG- GET has received many letters from former residents Of Nome, all of which dwell particularly upon the interest which is in evidence the outside ing Northwestern Alaska. One of the most valued of these is communication from Collector of Gus toms Jarvis in which he refers the attention that thi. section is command ng, and predicts confidently that Seward peninsula will surpaos the klondike m the output of gold this present year The latter place. is on the upgrade
 That the actual, real development of this section is but commencing is apparent, and perhaps it's future is less believed in by the people in Nome than those who are the outside. But there are very many men in Nome whose faith has cred, though it may have been sorely tried. These believe that the development of the mining industry will be on prod gous scale in the next few years, and that the annual yields of gold will be commons rate with the development The of legitimate mining is just beginning; is the of legitimate investment. The country has passed the wild cat" stage, and piece of mining property, ii it has worh will find purchaser There is, thus additional incentive for the prospector and miner that has not hitherto existed. The developments of the present year, we believe, therefore, will be substantial to degree now unex xpected There will be large influx of capital, aud 1t will be invested, for it is demons trable that inve tment in legitimate mining propr rty in Alaska is bound increase largely in the coming years
