GOOD NATURE IN BUSINESS.

Now, while TIE NUGGET is on that line, may as we'll speak our mind on another topic closely re- lated to the one on humor, that is the commercial value of good nature. If there is anything that is true is is that the person who keeps good natured accomplishes results which have value in the mar kets of the world. The good naured man sells goods. The good natured man collect bills. The good natured man do business when the sour, grabbed ugly disposition fails The good natured crowd business when it needs be crowded and do it in way that will accomplish results Temper has no place in the world of business and the fellow that gets mad easy has to cure his temper lose business by it. The fellow that keep good natured and keep everyone else good natured will accomplish re- suits that the other fellow thinks impossible. If there is any hard problem to get hold of any difficult matter to handle it is usually assigned to the man who can keep good natured. The little pompous fel low that tries to people into doing what he wants may be all right for time, but he, sooner or later, drops out of the commercial race If man is to keep in the commercial he must keep good natured It's the fellow that tries to accommodate and keep good natured that brings people back to trade with him. It doesn't cost anything to keep good natured and but little to accommodate people, and it pays big dividends. With little effort peo- pie can have their differences but they can keen sonatly good natured about It. People may be obliged to refuse accommodation but it be done in pleasant, agreeable way that will not make the other fellow mad.
 It's wearing enough to do business and keep at it. Why not keep good naturcd about it :? If one is to constantly meet his fellow in business way, why not keep good natured Good nature makes & man healthy and keeps the world looking good. If one must fight, let it be

ALASKA IN CONGRESS.

Alaska may not have delegate in congress for year or two more, but one thing s certain, Alaska will have friends in the senate, friends that can do much and that disposed to do all they can. No one who heard the scope of the exam
 nation of those who appeared before the recent
 torial committee will be disposed to question the statement that Alaskans can now feel that Alaska will hereafter be in the hands of her friends. The citizens of Nome will certainly feel that in such sen

 Dietrich and others she has friends to whom she tie-msn who know something about Alaska and the immense resources. of the Seward peninsula, to say nothing of the immense parts still practically known. Enough, sure, is known by these men of intelligence to prove that Alaska is country of immense resources and tremendous energy. Alaska has already proved that she s represented by the "ho air" pedders who promise everything for noth
 ing, but that the true Alaskan, the one who really represents Alaska is conservative in his statements and truthful in his view of things The difficulty is right here. The conditions absolutely new.

Conditions that prevail elsewhere are good here because the character of the country different. Alaska is not like any other country in many respects and her legislative needs are differ

She needs some changes in the laws. These matters of great importance to Alaska. With improved roads and railroad facilities Alaska give the world four times the gold she is now producing. Alaska has coal enough to put even Pennsylvania into the shade, but the coal is not available because labor and freghts high. Ex- pensss keep out many enterprises that under ord- nary conditions would pay we'll Alaska feels that she entitled to such encouragement congress give. A few hundred thousand dollars spent here at this stage of the game in public roads, rivers and harbors will pay Uncle Samsbig dividends. To compish these results, Alaska asks the aid of her friends in congress. It is not asking anything un. reasonable. She wishes to be treated considerably and fairly her great resources will warrant. She asks for of home rule and such fair treat ment will make it possible to give the world the benefit of the great resources now lying dormant. Mother earth has lots of wealth in Alaska, and the

AS TO JOKES AND JOKERS.

Brother Harrison had long article in his last Fridays paper on "The Doctrine of Damnation." It was a well-written article. There is only matter to which TIE NUGGET is obliged to take exception, and that is his remark that "clergymen are not always blessed with lively sense of humor. There we differ. We believe that there no more humor ous people in the world than preachers. As class they the point of joke quickly, and more than that, see the great use to which joke can be put. Cergymen rule are great jokers, because they know that joke has a moral and religious value The people who laugh are the people who enjoy life and the people who enjoy life are those who most ks-nlY appreciate the difference between right and wrong when 1t finds expression ir human conduct. No of people in the world have a better right to iaugh and grow fat They try to do right themselves, well to get everyone else with whom they come in contact to do right, and why shouldn't they laugh? Ii man laughs he will joke, and if he jokes he will be the serious when it is time to be serious The clergyman a rule, has quarrel with the man who jokes but only with the men and women who treat all life joke and who throw all reSponsi- bties to the winds because life and it's opportunities are thus lightly handled. The joke, such, is not only innocent, but positively useful. The man who jokes and who appreciate joke, on himself, will see that there must be serious moments we'll as those of mirth.
 Then, too of what great value is joke when rela- tions are becoming strained and when feeling runs high? good joke removes the of trouble often and drives nasty and ugly words back into the tall tmbers. A good joke, one that makes people laugh, will make them feel more kindly toward each other There is such thing as brotherly love and human sympathy and kindly feeling possible under some circumstances, without occasional joke and good laugh. To keep good natured, people must be able to zee the funny side of things and religious life without good nature is a snare and delusion. Far from being not "blessed with lively sense of humor," clergymen the great value religousy snd morally of good humor Put good joke into a scrap and it's of with scrap. Get who is mad to laugh at something funny, and he rings off on his temper. Get people to be good natured and kindly in their feelings toward each other, and neigh borhood quarrels the bane of life in small communi ties. are off. Nobody knows this better than clergy men, and hence they usually gifted with lively sense of humor, gift which they rsgiously cultivate ji they are wise.

 "This would be the greatest country earth for investment, with better ttles less litigation and en- couragement to the same, and fewer laws designed to retard and over tax the output of the mines"
 Nome has caught the public eye because this sec- tion of Alaska of which Nome is the centre offers the public much in the way of investment under American laws Nome is not merely the centre for gold mining, but coal tin, bsmuth tungstun graphite, silver and platinum at her door. We have thou sands of of quartz almost untouched by the hand of man. Nome offers the world great field for in- yes sment.

A LESSON FROM NOME.

The Bonanza Record comments further on the cause of Nome's prosperity as follows
 "A condition obtains at Nome that is we'll to stud here. report published in this issue tells of how money s waiting there for investment and the prices Of claims not commensurate with the amount of prospecting done
 "In that particular Nome and the Klondike do not compare. The mine owners here arc reasonable enough and plenty of good property can be had for far below its workable value
 "The trouble is not with prices, but with tho security of investment. Therefore, the trouble is not with the mine owners at al but with the system of titles to mining property and the laws governing the working of mines
 "There must be something woefuly wrong when capital will go to Nome in great abundance and give the Klondike the wide berth it is dong when it thus is actually on deposit there. No reports have been heard here of hundreds and thousands of dollars being on deposit and not invested because the claim are out of reach with their prices The oppo- site st the condition The money for the purchase is Dos on deposit, and claims by the hundred may be

A HELPFUL BOOK.

Captain Conrad Siem has just published "The Menace," a semi scientific story of interest to the reople of Nome. It deals with the great mining and engineering prob lems of Seward peninsula, and is a strong plea to create the proper spirit of unity among them. Its helpfulness and optimism can best be seen by a few such paragraphs as these:
 No men and no races of men have ever grown great unless it was by their work. What they have fashioned is of little mo- ment, it is only what they became by their labors that counts. The pyramids of Egypt are vanity but by toiling at them the Israelites grew strong in their day, and their race gave birth to Moses.
 Do we'll the work your time demands of you, for in doing so you are building yourself Be not afraid to leave work to do for those who come after you because they, too, will want to grow by their work.
 The deeper the problem that you have solved the happier you feel in its solution. Still every problem which is happily solved only leads on to greater problems. If your time demands the dam, build 1t, and let the coming man struggle with the consequence of your act. The greater the task you have set him the stronger shall he become in doing it. The deeper the problem the more he will gain in solving it. The harder the fight the sweeter is victory. Only those who have tasted the battle know what is joy.
 | The only menace man needs to dread IS stagnation. Heed not the dreamers who speak of the time when the struggle shall cease. To cease struggling is to decay. Man must fight to conquer, and he must struggle and die so that he shall live.
 It is book that will cause thoughtful, serious discussion, and will help in creating an intelligent understanding of Alaska and her great problem by those on the out side.

RESERVATIONS IN THE ARMY.

Secretary Root, 1t is stated, has decided to put stop to the resig- nations of commissioned officers from the army when the latter re- sign simply to better their private conditions or are impelled by some other purely personal motive. Since January 1 twenty-nine officers, ranking from brigadier general to second lieutenant, have thus left the service, much larger number than ever known before for the same length of time. Among these was Brig. Gen. John A. Johnson, who left the army to look after business interests, the rest being officers of lower grade.
 Before the Spanish war resig- nations from the army were infre- quent. In 1897 only seven of the 2,164 commissioned officers re. signed. In 1902 there were four teen, and for the first half of 1903 there were twenty-nine. Of the latter, however, only six were grad uates of West Point, and two of these were young lieutenants who were in the academy at the time of the outbreak of the war and object ed to the ruling of the department which permitted volunteer officers who entered the regular army to outrank them.
 "The secretary thinks it is time to call halt in the practice and to limit the resignations accepted to those that are allowed for the good of the service. In this he is right, for it is not fair that a man who has received an expert training at the government expense should be permitted to use it solely for his personal benefit. The long strug- gle Capt. Hobson had to get out of the navy checked the practice of resignations in that branch of the service, and the same principle will hereafter govern the army"
 The above editorial from the Seattle P. l., is full of sense. Off. cers that go into country where they have many opportunities to go into other lines, naturally like to go where they think they can do the best for themselves. Still as long as Uncle Sam gives them the opportunity he ought to have the first claim upon their service.

It is clear from the correspond snce that Russia insisted upon a boundary that cut England off from the coast. and that England, after several counter propositions in harmony with Canada's later claims had been refused, accepted the boundary as marked out by Russia. The correspondence alone disposes of the Canadian claim. The maps cover period of seventy years. The first is the Russian imperial map of 1927, published at St. Petersburg. The boundary is the same in every particular as that given in the United States official map of 1867. The same boundary is given in the British official map of 1882, the Canadian official map of 1881, the Canadian official map of 1857, and the French map of 1844.

Board Meeting.

The Board of Mayor and Alder
men met Monday night with mem
bers of the Board of Education
present by invitation to discuss the
conduct OF the city schools, and the
prospects for next year.
Mayor Walker presented a tabu-
lated statement of current revenues
and expenses, and an estimate
upon the next term. AS shown by
these figures, for the term just clos
ing the expenditures have exceeded
the revenues about six hundred
dollars, upon which members OF
each board were asked to express
their views. All spoke freely and
the sentiment was unanimous that
all the children be taught in the
public school building, there being
sufficient room and accommodations
in the one building ; that the pres
ent high school course be maintain
ed ; that one superintendent have
charge of the entire school, and
that the training school be aban-
doned. This seemed to be the only
practical solution of the school
question and every member of both
boards favored it,
After that the Board of Educa-
ton retired and the following pro-
ceedings were had:

costs of street lights needed
