Died, at her home near Dahlonega.
January q, 1908, Luella. wife of Ralph
McClung, aged % years. months and
z days. Deceased was born near Ire
mont, H., and was the second daugh,
ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. l.. Trout, Of
Dahlonega. She leaves besides her
husband and child her father and mo-
Their two sisters and two brothers and
numerous other relatives and friends
to mourn her untimely death. In Au-
gust. 1900, she was married to Ralph
McClung. and one child, Claud Henry,
aged lS months. was born to them.
Lulu, as she was commonly called,
was a woman loved and respected by
all who knew her, and during the two
weeks of her sickness all that willing
hands and loving hearts could do was
done to relieve her sufferings. The fu'
neral services We're held at the home
and the remains We're laid to rest in
the Ottumwa cemetery, there to await
the resurrection morn.

ness. All that Is invested is the small
amount OF feed which she eats in month
or six weeks at the end of which time he
gets his return from the creamery. On
the other hand, the man who raises and
fats carload of steers or who raises
drove of hogs invests more and more in
them every day for year, or two years,
or longer. His Investment is subject to
changes of prices, the diseases peculiar to
the animals, and other disasters. The
dairyman has little or nothing invested;
he has an almost immediate return from
his feeds and there is little or no probable
ity of loss In the business.
"Dairying is profitable because it brings
the farmer the largest return for his Ia
Dor and the products of his farm 1t en-
ables him to get a larger gross and net
income from his farm than he can obtain
without it. The feed that will make two
pounds of beef will make n pound of but
ter. and the value of pound of butter is
always more than the value of two pounds
of beef even during the last few years of
relative high prices of beef and low price
of butter. All the arguments in support of
diversified ':rId intensive farming may be
used to prove that dairying is necessary
to the profitable operation of our farms.
When our farmers raised wheat they be.
came bankrupt and their farms were
worth but. a few dollars per acre. When

THE RISING GENERATION.

The children of Alaska are dear to the people of Alaska. We proud of them, and likewise, we ar re proud of the public school system which enables all to receive the rudments, at least of good education THE NUGGET has had occasion at different times to commend the public schools of Nome, and to give a need of praise to the children who attend them. There may be bright and intelligent pupils attend ing the schools of the outside as found in Nome; but certainly the Nome product has superior The bracipg climate of this far northland to stimu- late the brain of the young they breathe the pure ozone of high attitudes and their minds clear and bright. The climate, though vigorous, is not ener- vatng and it is to be noticed that asstudc and lan guor not to be found in our public schools

A TOO LENiENT LAW.

There is little room for doubt that the fire which resulted in the roasting to death of number of ESki- mos last Tuesday, due directly to the fact that the inmates of the cabin in which the tragedy oc- cured were drunk. Now, if an Eskimo gets liquor. some vilainous white man must supply him with it, and in our opinion, there is punishment too severe for such cattle. The rope is none too good for the man who will under any circumstance give red liquor to one of these savages. For such people the pillory would be picnic, and the whipping post a pleasant diversion.
 The law regarding the sale of liquor to natives in Alaska IS most unsatisfactory. The law makes it only misdemeanor, when certainly it should be chased among the stonies For the crime or offence rather, of selling giving natives intoxicating liquors, the law provides penalty of not more than six months Imprisonment maximum fine of five hun fred dollars whereas if it were made felony the criminal could be sent to the penitentiary. But be- sides being prosecuted a charge of committing a ''misdemeanor." the offending party may be prose- cued for violating the internal law which for bids the traflickng in liquors without license This procedure has been followed in Southeastern Alaska with excellent effect and the vioaors of the law were sent to the penitentiary.

And the investment has been profitable one But 1t is notorious fact that the policy of the Canadian government toward it's frontier colonies and that of our own government is radically different. Tn Alaska we may look out for ourselves as best We can know ing too we'll that we may expect little nothing at the hands of either the government or congress

 system of railroads or wagon roads in this sec- ton is absolutely necessary for it's developments Dogs and men are yet too frequently the beasts of burden here and until better transportation facilities are afforded, so that supplies building material and machinery can be cheaply distributed. mining in the interior districts amount to little more than ex- ploration, prospecting, and the working out of rich placer pockets.
 It will be generally conceded that the mining resources of Northwestern Alaska are great and varied, and that with reasonable opportunity for de- velopment, the trade of this section is bound to be an important factor in the commerce of the United States. Its mining resources as yet have been scarcely touched. It seems, therefore, that wagon roads are prime necessity, with the building of railroads as the former necessary in order to distribute the railroad tonnage to districts adjacent to railroad lines. Private enterprise cannot be oX- pected to supply the necessary system of roads.
 Without doubt the resources of Northwestern Alaska can ultimately bear the cost of the gon roads but the federal government must in the first instance construct and thereafter supervise the system rcm bursing itself from general revenues as the roads come into use.

THIS IS DESERVED.

From the way the editors of the Nome papers speak of each other through their editorial columns, one is almost led 10 believe that all the scallawags have gono into the news paper business at Nome and made themselves "iditers." The Kilken- ny cats are simply not in it. It Is astonishing that a man whom you have known for years, of good re- pute, will prove to be a villain and a robber of graveyards, just as soon as he starts newspaper and an opposition sheet strikes the town to tell you all about him.-Rampart Forum.
