PROGRESS IN NOME.

Nome being in a commercial sense
a friend and neighbor of Seattle. it
is pleasant to read this account of it
in the Nome Nugget, whose special
edition of June 10 has much literary
and typographical merit says the Sc
attic News. It abounds in red ink,
and clearly has an able staff in all
departments. 1t says:
Nome is the metropolis of the
Seward peninsula, and is likewise the
most important city in the whole of
Alaska. It is situated on tide water
on Bering sea, and is the distributing
point for practically the entire penin-
sula and the country contiguous
thereto. 1t has a summer population
of between 5000 and 5000. and a win
ter population of about 5000.
Nome is an up-to-date city, peo-
pied by an active, aggressive and in
telligent class of citizens. 1t enjoys
modern conveniences, such as tele-
graphic communication with the out
side; railroad facilities to the most
important creeks; telephone lines
both long distance and short: an elec-
tric light plant and water works
There are splendid churches of diff
ferent denominations: a fine public
school system; a chamber of COM
merce; practically every essential bus
mess is we'll represented, and there
are many lodge organizations. Ir
fact, nearly every essential element fol
the convenience and comfort of civil
lied people is here to be found"

PORTLAND COMMUNE WILL FAIL

The Cooperative Christian Fedora
ton just launched in Portland will go
the way of its hundreds of predeces-
sors. into disorganization and failure.
The East Oregonian believes in i'm
proving social conditions and making
better laws and formulas for men to
live under. but it does not believe
that the little narrow communistic
plan is the means by which to accom-
plish this great end.
It has every confidence in the men
at the head of the new organization,
but it has no confidence whatever Ill
their plans. If they would exert the
same influence to bring about govern
ment ownership of railways, munici
pal ownership of street railways, cleo
trio light and telephone systems and
water works, as they will in forming
and conducting this little cooperative
community, in which a limited mum
Der of people will receive the benefits,
much greater general good would be
accomplished.
These cooperative concerns are not
new. Hundreds of them. started un-
der the most auspicious conditions,
have gone down the toboggan slide
into disruption and many of them end
ing in disgrace.
Among the oldest and most success
full are the Shakers and they are re-
lig:ous zealots. They were first or
ganized IN New York in 1870. and to-
day have but II societies in nine
states. Business does not enter into
their plans. Worship and content
ment are their sole objects and so it
requires little to satisfy them. Such
would not be the case in the Portland
concern.
The Amana society is another old
one, organized with the highest ideals
but now dwindled down to a handful
of enthusiasts. Harmony Society, or
ganized in 1905 is nothing but a name
The Oneida Community founded or
the broadest Christian brotherhood
and established with large capital, T.
only a memory.
The separatists of Zoar. another
religious colony, is forgotten exoer
in history. The Icarian society, which
was extremely hopeful at first sue
cumbed to human selfishness and

The woman's Commonwealth
founded with the most exalted pur
poses at Bolton, Texas in 1870, explret
after lingering and pitiable existence

him TO return. He came back to

Mr. Hydes retirement, therefore,
will remove one obstacle to a full

thing more to tell it probably will not
be long coming out.
Widespread attention has been at
tracted by recent statements. that the
Department of Agriculture is being
run on extravagant lines and that a
great waste of the public money is
going on under the official subterfuge
adopted by Secretary Wilson and his

Deals the Statician Heavy Blow.

From special correspondents of the
Baltimore Sun and the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal the following addi-
tional information of developments in
the cotton scandal are gathered and
here presented
The resignation of Chief Statistielan
HYDE was generally discussed in gov
ernment circles today. There was also
considerable comment upon an open
letter which appeared yesterday over
the signature Of Mr.. j. FraiSe Richard,
an Onioan. who was formerly connect
cd with the government service in
the Eleventh Census and who testified
before a House investigating commit
tee at the beginning of the Fifty
seventh Congress respecting the part
played by Mr. Hyde in the Census
Bureau before he became identified
with the Agricultural Department as
chief statistician. Among otner things
Professor Richard said in his commun-
ication:
Under Superintendent of the Cen
sus Robert Peel Porter there were in
1880 several important divisions which
were presided over by felloW-Engilsh-
men. The first of these was that of
wealth. debt, taxation and local gov
cTnmcnt. under the administration OF
one T. Campbell Copeland, an un-
naturalized lieutenant from the Eng
lish army. He violated his obligations
by giving out clandestinely and pre-
maturely certain figures which were
intended for political purposes This
occurred in 1890 and his services We're
summariiy dispersed with.
Census Figures Di disclosed.
Another division of equal import
auce was that of agriculture. the spe-
cial agent in charge of which was John
Hyde. another Eaglishman, and now
chief statiStician OF the Agricultural
Department. In the months of March
and April. 1891, as anyone can see
by reading House Report No. 1893
OF the first session. Fifty-second Con-
gres. dated July 16. 1892. Mr.. Hyde
did just what is charged against his
bureau at present, viz: He gave out,
without authority and in violation OF
his oath of office the statistics that
belonged To the government. In other
words he employed three clerks for
three weeks from O'Clock in the
evening until midnight to copy the
names. postoffice addresses. acreage,

ed II. III. Smith to Slap a Boy.

With some-forty witnesses expect
ed TO tell of things done the trial of

aleigh Mills charged with assault, bat
terry and the use of violent, profane
and indecent language. was not held
last night, but it is on the docket
for ten this morning before Justice
Barbee.
The trouble comes from a well in
the yard of the residence of Mr.. B.
G. McGee, which Smith claims is,
not in a sanitary condition and which
he holds is a public nuisance. At the
MCGEE residence Smith complained
of the matter and there was soon
a quarrel between him and Mrs. Nc
Gee, it being said that this was not
the first time that Smith had kicked
about the well, and that he was try
ing to get the McGee's out of the
neighborhood. The language of
Smith is declared in the warrant to
have been violent, profane and inde-
cent.
At last Smith started to leave and
then it was that Dudley Brady, a boy
sitting on the McGee porch began
to whistle what is known as the
military WHISTLE or 'the rogues
march" Mr.. Smith is here reported
as having lost control of his temper,
and as having gone back to the porch
and slapped the boys face
The next step was a warrant
against Smith, this being issued by
Justice of the Peace David Smith, and
returnable before Justice Barbee. on
this warrant Smith was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff S. w. Patterson and
taken before Justice Barbee. The
conclusion of the matter is expected
at the trial this morning at which
Smith will be represented by Mr.. Ell
mer Shaffer. with Mr.. Charles u. Har-
ris on the other side.

Winston Salem, n. c., July 20
Winston Salem turned the tables on
Charlotte by winning today's bail
game, though it required ten innings
TO decide the contest. The score WAS
10 3. Up TO the ninth inning it
looked like victory was going TO the
visitors.
Charlotte scored two runs i'm the
first inning, and the next man did not
cross the home plate until in the ninth.
Winston Salem did not black the
board until the eighth, when one run
was scored. This gave encouragement
TO the boys in blue" who added two
scores to their credit in the ninth, thus
ueing the score. In the tenth the
locals made a fine batting record and
piled up five runs.
