WIDE TIRES SEPTEMBER 4.
New Wagon Ordinance Soon to Go
Into Effect.

The city ordinance passed last De-
cember. compelling teamsters hauling
heavy loads within the city limits to
use wide tires on their wagons, will go
into effect on September l. This no.
tice was given out at the city building
this morning and arrests will follow
its violation.
The original ordinance was passed
last year and prescribed wide tires for
wagons carrying 1000 pounds or over
The penalty for its violation is from So
to $50 The latter part of the winter
an arrest was made for test purposes.
1t was taken before Judge Hazen, who
held the law good, although in handing
down his opinion he said that he
thought ii worked a hardship on team
sters- He enforced the fine which was
assessed by the police court against
the man who was arrested.
The enforcement of the ordinance
was then to be vigorously prosecuted,
but the teamsters waited upon the
council through a committee. and ask
ed that time be allowed them to get
the tires on their wagons. That oc-
CURED during the first week in April.
The council consequently agreed to
give them until September 1. before ac-
tive enforcement of the law was to
take place.
There are just two weeks left until
the expiration Of the time allowed and
very few wide-tired wagons are seen
on the streets Chief Stahl has been
Der l, wherever he finds the law vio-
lated, and without question the police
court will get additional business from
that source.
It is not thought that the case will.
be tested in the courts. There was
some talk at the time of Judge Hazen's
decision to carry the matter to the SUI
preme court but nothing ever came of
Technically the law under which the
city will act after September l is a
new one, but in reality it is a copy of
the old. The council erased the former
one from the city ordinances and then
passed one like II after the teamsters
asked for an extension of time. In this
proceeding a good excuse was found
for allowing a lapse of time until its
active enforcement was to be COM
menced-
The law was passed to protect the
paved streets in the city. Narrow tires
on a heavily loaded wagon do consider
able damage That was demonstrated
when Ringing Brothers show hauled
its paraphernalia west on Tenth street
and practically ruined the asphalt on
the north side of the street. The tires
on circus wagons are a little wider
than those ordinarily used but not of
the four inch variety which the city de-
mands-

MONTANA'S COPPER FACTIONS.

A decision by Judge Clancy, of the dis
trict court of Montana, in favor of F. Aug.
Heinze, and against the Amalgamated Cop
per Co., in November last, the owners of
the Anaconda and numerous other copper
mines, caused the shutting down of all the
company's properties, throwing upwards of
$4,000 men out of employment. On Nov 10
Gov. Toole called an extra session of the
Legislature to meet December 1, for the pur-
pose of securing Legislation ''by which the
bias and prejudice of district judges be made
a disqualification of such judges to try any
case that may come before them, as we'll as
Legislation making suitable and efficient pro
vision for the trial of such case or cases in
such event, and also the desirability of gen
eral legislation comforting upon the supreme
court power on appeal to review the facts
in equity cases" With the proposed meet
ing of the Legislature the mines were again
opened up. 1t was openly charged that
Judge Clancy had been bribed by Heinze,
and his life had been threatened by some of
the men who were deprived of employment
by reason of his decision. For some years
past fierce war has been waged between
the Heinze and the Amalgamated Copper
interests. An arbitration board failed to
adjust the differences, and as a last resort
an extra session of the legislature was

DATE OF ELECTION FIXED.

The city council, on Monday evening"
passed an ordinance making rules for mu-
nicipal elections in the city of Nome" The
date of the elections is fixed for the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in April of
each year. This will bring the next munich
pal election on April ). The ordinance
which is an unusually lengthy one, is re-
markable for nothing except its great verdi
age, and the fact that it fixes the fifth day
of April next as the time of holding the next
municipal election.
An important and very necessary adj
junct of the legal machinery for holding
municipal elections in Nome, however, was
not acted upon. This was an ordinance pro
viding for the registration of voters. A
majority of the council did not think that
the resembling of the registration ordinance
passed at the meeting two weeks ago last
Monday was an important matter. The or
dinance already in effect fixes the opening
of the registration books for the first Tues
day i'll September of each year. Under the
old registration ordinance the books were
opened about the middle of January.
meeting of the council that a new registra-
ton ordinance would be introduced and
passed at the next regular meeting on Feb
ruary Is. Even if this be done, the time in
which voters will have an opportunity to
register will be somewhat curtailed. Neces
sarily the registration books cannot be
opened before Feb %, and the custom has
been to close them two weeks before the
date of holding the election. The books,
therefore, if the custom be followed, will be
open less than a month"; short enough
time, in all conscience to enable voters to
register in such scattered community as is
Nome. The council majority and their legal
advisers may be acting in good faith, but in
all truth, it may be remarked, that they do
not seem to be particularly anxious to ac-
commodate prospective voters-probably
because they will have no use for them.

LEGISLATION FOR ALASKA.

In expressing the hope that President
Roosevelt in his annual message to con-
gress, would call attention to the legislative
ton of a regular territorial government. the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
Among those who visited the district
there is an unfortunate difference of opinion
as to the propriety of granting a territorial
government. AS was shown in the recent
primaries and conventions in Southeastern
Alaska, the largest of the corporations
doing business in the district are opposed to
the organization of territory. The reason
for this opposition is not clearly stated, be-
You'd that the organization of the territory
might have the effect of increasing taxes.
1t is possible, also, that the larger corpora
tions prefer not to have any territorial leg
islature making laws for the domestic gov
eminent of the territory There are obvious
reasons why this would be distasteful.
In their various tours through Alaska
many of the visiting statesmen became fully
informed of the opposition to territorial
government, and doubtless they came away
with enlarged ideas of the magnitude of this
opposition. This is probably the reason
that some of them do not think that Alaska
is yet ripe for local self government. This
qualified to support full territorial gov
eminent than was any other territory at the
time of it's organization. There are no diff
culties presented in Alaska which were not
presented in all of the older territories at
the time of their organization. That all of
the people of Alaska are not at the moment
in favor of a territorial government is aside
from the question. The great majority of
the people do favor it, and they are entitled
to have it, The condition there is anomalous
under free government A larger popula-
ton than that of some of the states in the
Union is without the remotcst vestige of
self government, and there can be no justi-
fcation for such condition of affairs.
President Roosevelt, however, as readers
of THE NUGGET already know, failed to
touch upon the delegate question or the
matter of territorial form of government

ROOSEVELT AND HIS FRIEND.

President ROosevelt's partiality for
Brigader General Wood seems to have
been resented by number of Republican
senators, who objected to his confirmation
as major general. General Wood, who less
than seven years ago was practicing physi
clan, was a Rough Rider in Roosevelt's
regiment, with the rank of colonel His
rise was rapid. He became military gov
ernor of Cuba, where it must be said he did
good work, especially in improving the
sanitary condition of Havana. His enemies
allege that he is a good fighter in his re-
ports to the war department, but the most
serious charges filed against him are that
he accepted brides from a Havana gambling
concern, and presents of silver plate, adj
mitted to Cuba without the payment of
duty. Whether the personal influence of
the president was sufficient to save and re
word his friend we do not know, but even
Roosevelt's bitterest enemies must COM
mend him for his loyalty to friend, even
though it be misguided.

factor hereafter in the operations of the
steel trust. Rockefeller is steadily branch
ing out, and he has the millions behind him
and with him to do it. We do not know
that Mr.. Rockefeller is Mr. Morgan's SUI
perlor in any way except in the number of
his millions. Mr.. Morgan has had his day,
and mayhap he is quite willing that the
Standard Oil emperor should take hand in
manipulating steel. There is any quantity
of water in the steel trust, but Mr.. Rookie
Teller does not want water that he cannot
use to his advantage.
The collapse of the shipbuilding trust
last summer, seems to have brought Mr.
Morgan into discredit. Somebody, it is
certain, should have been discredited, by
reason of the gigantic thevery which was
perpetrated, and perhaps it is just as we'll
that Morgan should bear the burden. He
can stand it without becoming round Shout
dered. Morgan has often robbed Peter to
pay Paul and Mr.. Rockefeller has done the
same, yet neither have suffered many tnan-
cial reverses. The fight between these
great money kings, if it should be con-
tinued, promises to be an interesting one in
which the sufferers, as usual, will be the
''suckers," who apparently are ever invit-
ing someone or other to trim them,' no
matter whether they live in New York,
Podunk or Nome.

have this condition of affairs continue in
definitely. Therefore in the attempt of
few citizens to establish an organization
whose object is the bringing about of bet
ter municipal governmental conditions, it is
not strange that it should meet with oppo
sition. An endeavor is being made to dis
credit it, and to arouse sectional jealousy.
One end of the small town is to be arrayed
against the other; the smallest kind of local
prejudice is thus being appealed to. But,
We take it, the ends and aims of those who
illuminate against such an organization are
so apparent that they will not find much
favor with the people at large. The need
of careful, honest, economical city govern
ment is so great that it will appeal to the
great majority of the citizens who make up
the municipality.

BREEDING SECTIONAL STRIFE.

"POlltlcS" is an uncertain quantity, espec
tally in a small and isolated town Recently
a number of offensive do not know how
many-held a meeting, whose object, it is
stated, was and is, to enlist the aid and
support of all citizens who desire good,
clean, economical municipal government
The object would seem to be a fair one
1t ought to strike the disinterested observer
as being an important one. The men who
align themselves as being in favor of good,
honest government, and who are not afraid
to say So are at least worthy of being heard
If they are able to advance sufficient argu-
ments in behalf of good government they
are at least entitled to respectful hearing
Bad government can be had at any time,
either municipal, state or national But
good government 1t is simple sounding,
yet comprehensive term.
The majority of people desire it, yet it
usually devolves upon few to set the ma
chinery in motion by which they may secure
it. There are, in every community, large
or small, number of men who do not desire
good government The greater the malad-
administration of municipal affairs the bet
ter they like it, Their reasons, of course,
are always selfish. The debt piled up on
town cuts little figure in the political econo-
my of many men.
But in all candor, 1t would seem that
Nome has about all the debt that it can
stand, and this debt is increasing constantly,
but there are those to be found who would

MONEY AGAINST MONEY.

j. Pierpont Morgan, who in the past few
years has acquired world wide reputation
as tinancier and trust promoter, recently
lost 100000. This loss would scarcely
bring the wolf within haling distance of
Mr.. Morgan's door. He probably would
not lose much sleep over such triling
loss, save only as it indicates the waning
power of the most powerful trust promoter
of the financial world. The loss of the
81, 100000 was directly attributable to John
d. Rockefeller, who in the past few months
seems to have arisen as a powerful rival of

was decided in the negative. 1t is we'll. If
the liberty of the press were restricted in
Alaska, the territory would within an ex-

would thrive and fatten on down trodden

The very foundation of ideal

soil. Then there must be some
sort of fence, woven wire, pick

creeping vines, evergreen or
shrubbery. About this stage Of
constructing ideals, the Juniors
sized up the space with a view
to locating differently shaped
beds of various flowers, gener-
ally grouped according to size
and color. There were all the

from the forget-me-not to the
