The UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA.

A friend of THE NUGGET points to the
fact that as the war between Russia and
Japan goes on it begins to appear that pop
uar sympathy in the United States is by no
means all on the side of the Japanese,
though the little brown men certainly have
the major portion of it.
Expressions of sympathy for the Japan
ese have brought out even in Nome numer-
Gus advocates of Russia. Most of them
take the position that in the present strug-
gle the American people should not sym
pathize with either side, since when all is
said and done the war is merely the inev-
liable clash of two expanding empires, each
intent upon it's own ends. They give as
particular reason why we should not allow
ourselves to become influenced against the
Russians the fact that Russia has been our
historic friend. To prove this they cite the
correct course of Russia during the Civil
War as compared with the offensive courses
pursued by France and England, and, final
ly, they tell again the oft-repeated tale of
the powerful Russian fleet that visited New
York harbOr in the summer of 1868 and re-
manned for long period. They assert that
the Russian admiral was at New York with
his fleet for no other purpose than to men
ace the French and English fleets, ready
there to clear their decks for action at
word from their respective governments,
and if the worst came to fight them.
That undoubted Russian sympathy with
the North even went so far as to risk war
with France and Great Britain is vigorously
denied by those who strongly advocate an
understanding between the English-spea
ing nations and hold that our sympathy
should be unequivocally with Japan in this
war.
The fact that Russia was with us forty
years ago is no reason why she should have
our sympathy in her present troubles if
conditions have arisen that make the inter-
ests of the two nations discordant rather
than harmonious. Still it would be of great

A HOPELESS TASK.

The granting of injunctions in the litiga-
ton of mining claims will be necessary so
long as men covet each others claims, or
are dishonest, or as long as bearing false
testimony endures 1t has been frequently
remarked, and we believe with considerable
justice, that testifying falsely in Alaska is
scarcely looked upon as a crime 1t is GER
tain that there seems to be limited knOwl-
edge between "meum and tuum"-between
mine and thine The jumping of anothers
claim, upon no pretext whatsoever, save for
purposes of blackmail, is not unknown. One
man appropriates that which is his neigh
boris without saying "by your leave" and
he is branded thief. But not so when it
comes to removing a neighbours landmark
or stealing his claim, perhaps by process of
law, for evidence can be manufactured as
we'll as any textile fabric and it is often
much stronger.
The increase of mining litigation, nay
the very existence of it in mining COM
munity, is to be deplOred, but, as was re-
marked at the beginning, it will continue so
long as men are grasping and dishonest-so
lOIlS DIS Illey CONcu uIldJ vIlCIl is HOu UIlelTS
Usually there are two sides to all these
questions, and there are complicated rights
that must be inquired into if justice is to be
done. But it is fact that justice is not
always done, either in Alaska or in the
States but this cannot be guarded against
in all cases. All litigants suffer in the end,
and victory gained in almost any court of
law, wherever situated, usually entails
heavy costs and works great hardships on
the parties litigant.
If litigation could be entirely eliminated
a long stride would have been made towards
the millennium; if the Golden Rule, of which
some pirate but never practice, were more
generally applied there would be marked
and wholesome decrease in law suits. But
the Golden Rule is never used in measuring
a rich mining claim, as long as good tape
line can be found and witnesses procured to
attest the measurement. We repeat, all
litigation is bad, and njunctions are a con-
comitant of the evils which it produces.
Abolish litigation and there will be no in
functions.

interest to know whether, in the dark days
when we had no other friend in Europe
Russia actually went to the point OF giving
her admiral sealed orders to range his ships
under the stars and stripes, in the event of
an attack on the republic by then hostile
France and England. Some day the ar
chives of Washington and st. Petersburg
may give proof or disproof of this story,
but certainly it was believed by the Amer
lean people during the Civil War, and has
generally been believed by them since. Ger
tain it is that the Russian fleet came to New
York and stayed long, that it received a
popular reception remarkable for it's en-
thusiasm. Certain it is that the attitude OF
the Russian government throughout the
war was distinctly favorable to the United
States

The BUSINESS MANS BURDEN.

There is not man conducting any kind
of legitimate business in Nome who does
not pay five different kinds of direct and in
direct taxes This statement may seen ex-
traordinary, bnt it is plain statement OF
fact In the first place. the business man
pays direct "license tax" then he pays a
municipal license" tax, "poll tax" a "tax
upon real and personal property" These
are all direct taxes, that is, taxes levied d.
rectly upon the individual, and to these must
be added the indirect taxes levied in the
form of tariff upon most articles OF use
and consumption. 1t will strike the average
reader that the Alaska business man surely
bears his share of the burden of taxation,
and municipal councils of Incorporated
towns, up to the present time have made no
effort to lessen the business mans burden.
Indeed, on the contrary, they seem to be
ever seeking some excuse or opportunity to
add to it. This newspaper takes the stand
that if the affairs of town like Nome were
properly and economically administered,
the municipalities share OF the "license
taxes" received from the federal govern
ment. together with the taxes raised by as
sessment of real and personal property
within the municipality, should be ample to
efficiently maintain all necessary branches
of the CITY government and leave a surplus
besides. This would eliminate the burden

GAINESVILLE, Clay county, Mimi, owns
not only it's own water, light and sewer
systems, but it owns it's telephone system
and opera house. Its telephone system
alone brings it revenue of over 500 a
month. No other place in the United States
has such record. The place had only
1926 population at the last census, but they
seem to be up-to-date enough to take their
own profits rather than to hire corporations
to take these profits for them. Smart town!

A least weekly mail service is demand
ed between Nome and Council City. And
it should be expeditions. The miserable
makeshift service between these points,
especially in the open season, is little short
of sham. 1t is to be hoped that the post
Office department will see the necessity that
exists for betterment of the service between
Nome and Council.

decoration for our pubic school build
ing This exhibition was given for
over 500 schools in the United States
last year, but in no town of less
than 5000 inhabitants.
Through the help of Superintendent
Traver, of Salem, we get the same ex-
hibit that was given in Salem in Jan
uary, from which 5000 was realized.
The people Of Dallas will now have
an opportunity to see $50 pictures

masterpieces. In connection with the
exhibit, we will also have two pro-
grams from the public school.

The independence correspondent
Of the Oregonian hands out a
column Of "dope" concerning the
political situation in Polk county
in Tuesdays issue of the big daily.
What the writer of the article
doesn't know about present con-
ditions would fill large book.
Among the inaccuracies noted is
the statement that Seth Riggs is
mentioned as a possible candidate
for County Commissioner, and one
would be led to believe by reading
the article that Mr.. Riggs is a Re-
publican. AS Mr.. Riggs time does
not expire until July, 1906, it is
hardly likely that he will be a
candidate at this time, and, even if
he were, his Democratic pro-
clivities would not be calculated to
win any great strength for him in
the Republican convention. Neither
is it likely that the Republicans
will fall over themselves in an
effort to nominate Luther Ground,
the present free-silver Democratic
surveyor, who is also classed by
the Independence writer as a Re-
publican. Other inaccuracies in
in the article in question could be
cited, would time and space per-
nit, but the foregoing is sufficient
to show that the correspondent
didn't have any well-defined idea
of what he was talking about.

ENJOYABLE conce IT.

The concert given by Mrs. Halle
Parrish Hinges, of Salem, in the
Dallas M. Z. Church on Tuesday eve-
ming was the most enjoyable musical
event of the year. Mrs. Hinges was
in excellent voice, and her rendition
of 'The Holy City," my Rosary" and
Japanese Love Song" especially
delighted the audience. Each number
on the program was heartily applaud
ed, and the lady graciously responded
to encores. Mrs. Hinges voice is as
clear and faultless as in the days of
her girlhood, when her singing won
for her the title of "The Oregon
Nightingale" Miss Erma Smith
played the accompaniments with rare
skill. A reading by Miss May Shelton
and a recitation by Dan Polling were
pleasing features of the program. The
concert was given under the auspices
Of the Ladies' Aid Society.

They commenced the serious investi-

They interviewed scores OF the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
over three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got ply
sicians to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges Up to Aug. %. eighty-seyen
per cent of the test cases were either
well or progressing iavorably.
There being but thirteen per cent of
