 "The views thus expressed have now received effect by the wise, conserva- tive, and yet far-reaching legislation
 enacted by congress at its last session
 Tn its wisdom congress enacted the very important law providing a de partment of commerce and labor, and further providing therein under the secretary of commerce and labor for
 commissioner of corporations, charged with the duty and supervision of and
 of making intelligent investigation into the organiza ton and conduct Of
 corporations engaged in interstate commerce. His powers to expose ille gal CT hurtful practices and to obtain all information needful for the purposes of further intelligent legislation seem adequate: and the publicity justifia ble
 and proper for public purposes is sat i isfactorily guaranteed. The law was passed at the very end of the session of congress. Owing to the lateness of . it's passage congress was not able to DIONIue proper equipment TOT the new department; and the first few months
 must necessarily be spent in the work of organization, and the first investiga-
 tions must necessarily be of a tenta- tive character. The satisfactory de- velopment of such a system requires time and great labor. Those who are intrusted with the administratio of the new law will assuredly administer
 it in a spirit of absolute fairness and | justice and of entire fearlessnass,
 with the firm purpose not to hurt any 1 corporation doing legimate business -on the contrary to help it-and, on i the ether hand, not to spare any cor
 poration which may be guilty of ille- | gal practices. or the methods of which
 may make it a menace to the public
 welfare. Some substantial good will 1 be done In the immediate future; and
 as the department gets fairly to work under the law an ever larger vista for 1 good work will be opened along the | lines indicated. The enactment of
 this law is one of the most significant (Continued on Page EighD

When the first horse broke through Sheehy sprang from the sled and shouted to Baker to jump, but Baker was evidently thinking about his the icy water.

A KICK FROM
 THE MINERS
Who Are Working the New Beach Diggings" Near
 Hastings Creek.

Many of the miners working the re- gently found beach diggings' between Little Derby and Hastings creek com plain because of the fact that beach wood in that vicinity is being gobbled up and hauled into town, not for pri- vate use, as the miners allege, but for called at THE NUGGET office on Monday and stated that not only themselves but the natives along the eastern coast as far as Cape Nome threaten to be put to serious plight for lack of fuel before winter is over They do not object to any person in town needing wood to take what he can find for his own use, but they do strenuOusly object to any man or men hogging the wood for purely speculative purposes. One Nome man, it. is alleged, has thus corralled hundreds of cords. Many of the miners now working in the vicinity named are unable to buy coal and freight it to their claims, and they must use wood for prospecting purposes or do the best they can by the slow process of picking the dirt. Naturally they therefore are indignant at the wholesale gobbling up of the wood upon which they are depending to help them take out q winter dump.

Up on Lost river, York district, Charles Randt, Leslie Grimm and w. O'Brien are busily engaged in develop ing a tin quartz ledge, located early this fall. This is one of the properties bonded by ex-Lieut Gov. Hutchinson of Idaho.
