"REMINISCENCES OF NOME

'I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided and that is the lamp of experience. l know of no way of iudg- ing the future but by the past"
 So spoke Patrick Henry in March nearly hundred and thirty years ago when the prospect of our national lie looked dark and dreary and Thomas Paine said, "These are the times that try,men's souls
 Age and environment have much to dowith our hopes and desires, and l doubt very much whether the people in those troublesome times were any more anxious to know what the future held in store for them than some poor soul at Nome. who at this moment is tor mented with doubt,anG uncertainty as to the condition of friends and relatives so far away. So every eye that is turned to the southland across this monotun- ous expanse of white country (and see many of them from my win.low) gazes longingly and wonders when the first white winged messenger will come and forever put at rest this terrible sus- pense.
 There is nothing sure but death, taxes and municipal candidates. there fore prediction as to the outcome of the present season with absolute certainty is out of the question. But have had considerable experience ln Alaska and my observations since coming to Nome ln 1899 lead me to believe we will net only have comparatively good and early season for the creeks and dumps but that there will be vessel here between the 2Olh and 25i of May.
 Old timers remember the winter and spring of 1900, with it's beautiful weather in February and March; those days of moderate cold, little snow and plenty of outdoor sports and pleasures. How Belmont Point was crowded every Sunday with lovers of baseball who came to hear Till Price and Harry Leland, those famous rOotors, who, from the natural grandstand, handed it to such giants of the field as Brick Wheaton. Lieut.. Craigie, w. B. Kirk, Lnuis Lane and Arthur Pope, while Chesterfield Bates with his 'cld guitar and a 'stein on the table" tin the sleigh this time) attended to the wants of the galaxy of grace which adorned these occasions. Compare this with our late Outdoor Pleasure Club, and we at once exclaim "Alas. poor Nome, Iknew thee in better days!'
 On March 2lst of that phenomenal spring of 1900 my record reads: "Temp. 3S. Bar. 30. Weather clear Wind N. E. moderate. Since last records the weather for this time of the year has *been without d. flaw. Plenty of sun.
