ONE KIND OF GRAFT.

The righteous souls' of certain city councilmen wereshocked to think that the town should derive revenue from the women of the half world,'' who find anchorage ground in Nome. And there was reason for the shock" We free to say that it is poor way to derive revenue" for any purpose, though to regulate what is termed necessary evil, the system of collecting monthly fines from women of this class has been followed But it seems to us that though the fine system" may be degrading and per ncious it is not to be compared to that which the city of Nome is following.
 By an ordinance passed recently these women are "required to procure certificate from some physician of the city and to report the to the health off, cer" This certificate it is understood must be ob- tained twice month at cost of five dollars for each certificate, or ten dollars month. If this is not placing license prostitution for the sake of private graft we would like to ask by what other name it may be called? The city must not recognize the "soca evil" by collecting fines from fallen women, but it may permit private persons to do so for their own profit and with the sanction of city council. Its of the most garng and open invitations for men disposed to prey upon women of ill repute. and to befool those who paronize them. In all the cities of the United States we know of none which would permit such procedure or which would authorize it by the enactment of an ordinance.
 As applied to Nome do not hesitate to charac terize it ordinance to permit graft to be worked upon fallen women' for the benefit of few individuals. It is shame and a disgrace. Better by far, that the old system of levying this kind of blackmail be continued than to openly and unblush ingly thus attempt to backmail of the tender loin that may be turned into the pockets of physician two instead of into the city treasury. It is indeed nasty It is open and notorious legalization and acknowledgment of evil, which though it exists in all civilized communities, is not specifically recognized by either state municipal enactment.

the reindeer possesses two of the in- dispensable requisites for arctic travel, viz. they are swift and self sustaining in travel. The supply of moss upon which they feed covers the whole of northern Alaska and they secure it in winter by burrow- ing down through the snow with their deeply cleft hoofs. Aspeedy reindeer can make 150 miles a day under favorable conditions, and 100 miles is easily covered. As beast of burden they can draw load of 300 pounds. Besides carrying the Alaskan mail they will be lent and rented to settlers and prospectors, affording them a sure means of packing and transportation. where by they can reach hitherto inac- cessible portions of this vast frozen territory. The Interior Department has found that, allowing so many deer to the square mile, Alaska has pasturage for 9,000,O00 reindeer.

LOOKING OVER ALASKA.

The interview with Judge Witten, special agent of the interior department published elsewhere in this paper, is worth careful perusal, since it to show that at last some real interest in Alaska is being taken by "the government" and in small measure, at least it foreshadows of the features which Judge Witten's report will contain when he has concluded his investigations and submitted it to the department
 From the words of Judge Wtten it may be gath cred that changes in our mining laws are needed insofar at least as they applied to Alaska. He seems to have made careful investigation of mining conditions during his stay in Nome and during his trip through the Yukon valley, and any suggestions he may make to needed alterations amend ments to the mining laws will doubt carry weight
 In relation to the townsite of Nome Mr. Witten expressed himself at being of the opinion that pat ent should be obtained at the same time expressing the opinion that if the gentlemen who lay claim to portion of the townsitc, by virtue of prior mineral locations could show the validity of their contentious their case might prove strong one, but even if they are successful the application for patent for the remainder of the townste should be prosecuted wig orously
 That the administration is paying some attention to the importance of Southeastern and Central Alaska as a future agricultural country is not source of wonder. This ''idea' has slowly assumed shape Less than five years ago most of the people who now in Alaska would have considered it huge joke if one were to have mentioned anything about Alaskas agricultural capabilities. But the actual truth has been surely forced upon them. In less than ten years Alaska's agricultural population will be con- siderable, while the number of those who follow mining fishing and other pursuits will have been multiplied many times.

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT

The following remarkable article was published in recent issue of the New York Commercial Adver. tiser. It is remarkable for the vast amount of misin. formation it conveys there being scarcely grain oi truth to be found in the of chaff. It is high time that the government of the United States in. formed itself to the actual conditions regarding the 'rendeer industry in Northwestern Alaska. Follow ing is the Commercials article which by the way is also embelshed by picture showing Eskimo mounted the back of reindeer ready to start from "Pont Barrow to Kotzebue:"
 Of more than common interest is Uncle Sam's most northern mail-carrier. The postal department has awarded to S. R. Spriggs of Point Barrow, Alaska situated on the tip end of the American continent the contract for transporting the mails by reindeer Two round trips to be made each winter at $75O each The and special feature of this mail con- tract is the employment of the domestcated reindeer which for several years rast the has been experimenting with the best animal for furnishing food, clothing and travel to the natives of our Arctic regions. Some 1000 deer were procured from the Chukchee the largest and most skilled of the Siberian herders, who for hundreds of years have led noma- die life and gained their subsistence by reindeer breed ing. The price paid for the deer averaged $4 to $S.
 Hitherto dog teams have been almost exclusively used for travelling purposes but owing to the fact that an additional heavy load of food supply had to e carried to feed the dogs route, they have leen abandoned for the use of travelling. The government, after exhaustive experiments, has ascertaincd that

What shall we say to the sena- torial committee as to a territorial form of government for Alaska :? Shall we advocate self-government for the entire district, or shall we point out the necessity of dividing it into at least two territories, each with autonomous government? We submit that this is an important question and one which needs care ful consideration. The time is close at hand when Alaska will be given some kind of self-government, and Southern Alaska is widely separat- ed from the northern part and there is little community of in- terest.

AS TO SNAKE RIVER.

The necessity of dredging and ping the mouth of Snake river so that safe harbor would be afford ed for small steamers barges and the like has been often pointed out by TIE NUGGET. That any i'm mediate action in this direction would be taken was not expected although the importance of the proposi tion has been acknowledged by the business men of this community.
 Now that about to receive visit from a committee of the United States senate the time, it seems to us, is most opportune to ask the visiting senators to afford relief in the way of small harborage facilities. It is generally conceded that Seward peninsula is a permanent field for the pro- ducton of gold, and that Nome will continue to be its chief commercial enrepot. An article published elsewhere in these columns estimates the cost oi opening the mouth of Snake river, in a permanent way, at $130,000 We believe that if proper presentation of the case is made to the visiting sen. ators our just demands will receive favorable con- sderation. It to that it is up to the busi ness men of the community to formulate their de- mands in an intelligent way.

MORE FIRE HOSE NEEDED.

A We have ctofore remarked sundry and divers occasions, far the fire department is con. cerned, one of the most apparent needs is plentiful supply of good hose. Hose becomes imperfect and uncertain of use in almost any climate, but in the far North, with very low temperature, it seems to soon become useless. In Nome during the greater portion of the year salt water is used for fire fighting purposes, and this seems 10 quickly put good fire hose out of commission. The expenditure of money, therefore, for sufficient quantity of hose to meet all the exgences of fire is important matter, and one that the city council should not overlook. Indeed, immediate action should be taken if an order for ad- dional hose is to be sent outside and filled this Other fire apparatus, such hooks and ladders, is also needed, and if it be deemed advisable to pur chase the fire engine offered for sale by MT. Moses, then, we think the additional protection which would be assured might suffice, with vigilance, until next
