It is Dangerous to Neglect a Cold.

How often do we hear it remarked;
" It's only cold" and few days later
learn that the man Is on his back with
pneumonia. This Is of such common
occurrence that cold, however slight,
should not be disregarded. Chamber

FOOD EXPERIMENT

NEW HAVEN. Conn, May s.--profe'

OF the relation OF endurance to diet
and last night made public the iir'

A record was kept Of the food consum

purpose by Professor Fisher
II was found that the men had de-

of meat and other flesh foods by 40 per

The average physical endurance was

RICHEST CLAIM
 IN THF WORLD

Discovery claim on Little creek, Nome, is claimed by many mining men to be the richest mining claim ever found in Alaska-in fact iu the world. Some of these men state that it is rich CT than the famous Bessie bench, and it is currently reported that one clean up recently reached the big amount of SllO,OO It is also stated on what seems to be reliable authority that the claim this season will yield close to million dollars.

WHY NOT?

The first plank in the platform adop- ted at the convention held at Fair banks and which nominated Thomas Gale as its delegate for delegate in con gress is distinct and uueQGiyocal declaration and demand for territorial organization for Alaska. The Nome republicans, and democrats as well, so as they have given expression to their views on the subject, appeared to be equally as pronounced in favor of home rule, and it is highly probable that both the conventions called to meet at Juneau on the l4th and l6th of next month will so declare and require the candidates nominated to so pledge themselves. If that should prove to be the case, what better thing could those conventions do than endorse the can didacy of Ex-goveruor Swinetord, who as long ago as ISS5-long before large majority of those who will have become qualified voters st our first general election came or even thought of com ing to Alaska,-in his first official re- port: "The necessity for some repre- sention DIRECT FROM THE PEOPLE in the national councils, and of some legislative authority convenient enough to keep advised of their wants as they arise, it seems 10 me it is too plain to admit of argument Without these es- sentials the tardy, partial remedy that has been provided becomes, in many respects. 8 hollow mockery and a de- fusion. 1 can conceive of no reason why the right of representation the insstimable privilege of American cit izenship, universal over all the terri tory of the Union except here-a right which these people believe to have been expressly pledged to them by the very terms Of the treaty under which Alaska was acquired-should be any longer withheld. And lest it be urged that these people are unfit to legislate for themselves. I unhesitstiugly aver that nowhere, in any newly settled DOT tion of the Union, has this privilege been more highly prized, or more re- ligiously regarded as a right to be eX- ercised solely in the public good than it would be in Alaska" It is needless to assert that ever since, through the press and in public a private speech he has been the earnest and persistent ad- yocate of home rule for the people, be- cause it is 8 fact known of all men at all couversaut with the history of Alaska during the past twenty years.
The daily Alaskan., 1906-06-27

Are you in favor or are you opposed to 8 territorial government for Alaska: II you are against it, what are your reasons for your opposition? Do you prefer the anomalous government, from and by Washington, to a government of the people, for the people and by the people of Alaska? Do you expect con- gress to Iegislste rationally for the peO- pie of Alaska, or do you not rather eX- pect congress to give us mskeshitt or compromise legislation ad infnitum, because congress, not knowing our actual needs and conditions can at best serve us impertectly? And, judging by the experiences of past years, congress is & hard body to enlighten upon those matters and interests which closely af- feet the prosperity and well-being of the territory.
 The Nugget, while welcoming the opportunity that is soon to be given us to be directly represented in con- gress, has long maintained that dele gate in that body is 8 matter of minor importance as compared with the ques- tion of self-government for the people of Alaska. And we hold that the man who shall be elected, though he work never so earnestly and faithfully for his great constituency, will not find his path strewn with roses, and he will be enabled to accomplish only a tithe of what he could wish. And many, per paps most. of the disabilities under which Alaskans now labor will con tinue, despite every endeavor to lessen the evils of which we so justly com plain.
 There is no argument that can be made successfully against self-goyern- ment for any considerable body of American citizens. To say that Alaska should not have a government of it's own is to say, in effect, that it's people
