THINK FAIRLY, Then ACT.

1t should be unnecessary to state that
good government is desirable quantity for
any community or country And there is
only one way to secure it. If incompetent
or dishonest men are elected to Office NAL
government and dishonesty may be expect
ed Because a man tells you that he is
both competent and honest, it does not
necessarily follow that he is. Honesty and
competency are shown by his public and
his private acts as well. You cannot make
cedar man animate, neither can you Won
der that the CRATER instinctively smells
lOOt-and goes after it. There is miSgOv-
eminent the world over, but it is scarcely
of the seeking of the ma jOrity of the peO-
pie. 1t seems to be easy, even in free
country like the United States, for men to
prove recreant to their trust and to pursue
graft with wolfish avidity. But it is notice
able that most of the towns and cities of the
United States are fast awakening to the
fact that municipal regeneration is needed
A Renaissance has begun which before it
has been finished will purify municipal poll
tics and give decent, honest administrations
There is as much need for honest and
economical government in Nome as there is
in any other town or city. Good capable
honest, energetic men are as much needed
here as elsewhere. Nome is the CONNER
cial and mining center of Seward peninsula.
If all signs do not fail it will grow in i'm
portance as the great interior country is de-
veloped. Every citizen of Nome, therefore,
owes it to himself that men be elected to
Office who will faithfully and intelligently
discharge the trust imposed in them. A
municipal election is pending and on the
different tickets are a number of good men
who may safely be depended upon to act
fairly and deal honestly with the affairs of
the town, with credit to themselves and to
the satisfaction of the people.
This is an important time, not only in
the history of this town, but of this entire
section, and careful, thoughtful action is
surely needed.

long period Experiments made in this
branch of farming have resulted success
fully A few of the smaller islands have
been devoted to silver fox farming, Il novel
industry never attempted elsewhere. These
animals are raised exclusively for their furs,
and 1t is represented to be money making
business, says the San Francisco Call
The Aleutian chain comprises eighty
one islands, which stretch westward from
the extremity of the Alaska peninsula for
distance of over 1000 miles Their total
area is estimated at 6,391 geographical
square miles.
The colonization of the Aleutan islands
is scheme conceived by an Iowa man who
has investigated their possibilities for stock
raising. 1t is believed that at least 80, 900
head of cattle can be pastured on them the
year round. Grass is abundant on all of
the islands and the climate is temperate.
Since the Russian government began keep
ing a record of the Temperature there, it has
never been known to drop below degrees
above zero The soil and climate are favor
able also to the cultivation of many kinds
of vegetables and root products suitable for
human food, and under proper treatment,
there is no reason why the settlement of the
islands should not be successfully carried
out. They are no longer isolated from the
outer world as the Nome and Yukon river
steamship lines keep them in regular com
municatiOn with San Francisco and the ports
on Puget sound.

SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

1t may be just as well not to forget the
purposes for which the Good Government
Club was organized. 1t was the direct out
growth of the attempt made by majority
of the present city council to perpetuate
themselves in Office. 1t was not until man
damus proceedings had been begun to com
pei these men to hold municipal election
at the usual time that they realized the
force of public Indignation that they had
aroused Men who now constitute the Good
Government Club of Nome were mainly in
strumental in heading off the un-American,
despotic proceeding of the councilmen who
had thus abused their trust and defied the
people who elected them to Office. The ne
cessity of an organization which would
stand for good government and all that it
means was obvious, and the club of that
name was formed. 1t is absolutely un-
pledged to any person or persons, interest
or interests, and it's sole object is embodied
in it's name. Its candidates are pledged to
secure the best possible government, and
nothing more The people of Nome know
what bad government means, and we do not
think they want to perpetuate it.

SOME ALASKA BILLS.

1t is altogether likely that Senator Mel
sons bill creating fourth judicial division
in Alaska will pass. 1t is also more than
probable that the new division will be
carved out of the Third, and while it will
not be the smallest in point of area it will
probably be the most unimportant for sew
eral years to come.
Another bill, also introduced by Senator
Nelson, provides that all moneys derived
from liquor and trade licenses outside of in
cOrporated towns in Alaska, and from fees
and fines collected by the courts, shall con-
stitute an "Alaska fund. One fourth of
this fund is to be devoted to the establish
ment and maintenance of schools: 10 per
cent to the care and maintenance of insane
and destitute persons, while 65 per cent, or
the residue of the fund.- is to be used for
the construction and maintenance of wagon
roads and bridges and trails. This BILL we
think, is the most important of all that have
been introduced, its prime features all being
good. Under the present law there is no
provision made for the care of the destitute,
or even the insane: the latter are incarcer-
ated in jails, while the former are wholly
dependent upon the charity of the people.
The other provisions of the bill, it need
scarcely be said, are excellent. Road,
bridge and trail building is necessity if
the mining sections of Alaska are to be de-
veloped 1t is also noticeable that the
money raised in Alaska is to be expended
in Alaska, step in the right direction, al
though congress might well afford to make
a substantial appropriation for road build
ing in Alaska. 1t is high time that govern
ment aid was extended to Alaska trail

vent an influx of unnecessary labor land
this is desirable) they will do so through
channels with which they are conversant
and which are effective. 1t i'll becomes the
municipal council of any town to usurp the
offices of labor unions. And when this is
done it may be justly pointed out that it is
done only from motives that are purely sell
fish, and not for the Glove of the working
man. An act of this kind is vicious in the
extreme, because it is direct blow at the
country's development, which means that
labor itself is injured, for where there is no
development, labor is not needed Besides,
it is an act of utter qualification. and will
place the people of Nome in a most unenvi-
able light on the outside. Capital. we re-

be had if this country is to be speedily de
veloped. Why then attempt to brighten it

ALEUTIAN ISLAND COLONIZATION.

A systematic effort to colonize the Aleu-
tan islands is to be started in the spring.
The chain is at present inhabited almost ex-
clusively by the aboriginals, of which there
are said to be about 1900 When the Rus
slams first occupied Alaska the Aleuts were
estimated to number 10000. They live
chiefly by fishing and hunting. Nothing
has been done practically on an extensive
scale to utilize the islands for agricultural
purposes, although their adaptability for
stock raising has been well known for a

AN ACT OF STULTIFlCATlON.

1t is to be sincerely regretted that any
number of politicians, real or alleged, should
be so far lost to all sense of public decency
as to descend to subterfuges, deceit and
wilful misrepresentation in order to make
for themselves a little political capital And
when men, for this same purpose, decry
for political purposes the country in which
they find anchorage room, and which, at
least, is afording them a means of liveli
hood, they may be classed as demagogues
of the cheapest kind.
A number of this ilk, acting in the capac
ity of city council and, we say for politi
cal purposes only, deemed it advisable that
an official communication signed by man
who is the mayor of the town, and under
the official seal of the city, should be sent
to the outside, ostensibly, but not really, to
correct alleged false statements contained
in a communication sent to the States few
days previously by committee represent
ing the merchants, miners and business men
generally of this section. AS we pointed
out in the last issue of this paper, the mer-
chants telegram was scarcely a 'boom"
article. 1t contained no invitation to labor
to seek these shores in the expectation of
finding employment but it did state in terms
that must be taken as conservative, that
more winter mining had been done than
ever before in the history of Seward PENN
sula, and that the outlook for the summer
mining season might be considered good.
If it is crime to state facts that should
innure to the benefit and welfare of the
country and all the people, then the merch-
ants committee have done grievous
wrong. If it be misdemeanor to point to
the gradual development of the only re-
sources that this section contains, then the
committee are to be censured If it be
wrong to make legitimate attempt to at
tract capital, so much needed in the devel-
Opment of mining country, that it may be
made productive and labor be given remu-
nerative employment, again the committee
erred grievously.
No country or section can be developed
and made prosperous by setting up boyle
men to brighten and keep people away from
it. immigration and the investment of CAPT
tai in legitimate enterprises have been the
means of making and building all the states
and territories of the Union. 1t will be re-
peated in Alaska in spite of all the petty
Vaccinations of small bore politicians.
Men of utter responsibility, who have
nothing whatsoever at stake cannot be ex-
pected to do that which is of real benefit to
the country. They have nothing at stake,
and it is regrettable that position of tenn
porary power should enable them to do in
calculable injury to the community and ter
ritory.
