"Watchman tell us of the nigt, What it's signs of promise are"

What it's signs of promise are"?
 At no period of the worlds history has the outlook been so bright as now. Nations are drawn together and bound by the wires of commerce, and with the flash of electricity the great minds of the world hold converse together, and the exchange of thought brings higher concep- tions and broader philanthropy so says the earnest student of the trend of the times.
 How to account for it we know not, we can only surmise. This we do know: that back of it all, is the Divine mind, and that mind is the motive power of the universe.
 Those prophets. sages n d dreamers who from the beginning thought, worked and died for the fulfilling of the promise of the ages are still in a way. helping on this great impulse, this mighty spiritual movement that has revo- lutiOnized the world in the last few centuries. and under the di- rection of the Divine mind mil lions of forces are at work today, and brighter grows the dawn of tomorrow.
 The high ideals that glowed in the hearts of the heres and poets of the past, the pure and beauti- full thoughts that enriched their lives, were but the blossoming of the seed planted by God, when he breathed in man the breath of life, until today we see the whole world made brighter, richer and more beautiful by the growth and development of the divine idea materialized.

 If we cannot rule the nation or make His laws, we can rule our own body and control ourselves. We can obey the laws of God and our country.

HOW OUR MAIL
 WILL BE HANDLED

As the contracts for the deliv- cry of mails during the open season are drawing to close the public is manifesting a desire to know ex- aetly what arrangements have been made for the open season, and Q Gold Digger representative yesterday waited upon w. J. McManus, chief clerk of the railroad mail service>for this division of Alaska, with view to ascertaining the time of depart ure and arrival of the first overland mails for the summer.
 It was learned that the residents of points above Teller and as far as Kotzehue sound are worse off thai others in this respect, and that theh last winter mail has been delivered and they will not receive another delivery until about July 8 Tho contract for the delivery of mai from Nome to all points above Teller has been let to the owners of tn, steamer Corwin, and this vessel will not make it's first northern trip til' early in the month of July.
 The contract for delivery of nfS1l to Teller calls for a delivery once a week, winter and summer.
 The residents of Council will have a delivery twice each week during the summer, the contract calling for this service to commence on June or as near thereafter as practicable. The mail will be carried from Solo mon by the Council City & Solomon River railroad, to a point in the Case-de-Pago section, and thence to its destination by stage.
 The residents of Kougarok will also have their mail delivered by railroad, at least for the greater orlion of the distance, but the con. tract calls for a delivery only once each week. However, if th4 amount of business is sufficient 10 justify an adG'tiChal delivecv each week. all other contract will be made. From Shelton to Taylor creek, the mail will be delivered by river scow or stage
 The pOstoffice at Mary's Igloo will be discontinued, all of the residents with the exception of few natives and missionary having moved to Shelton.
 The mail to St Michael and the Yukon points will depend to a large extent upon the departure of steam CTS for that point The Corwin has contracted to make one trip to St Michael each month, but additional mails will be placed on all of the steamers leaving here.

MAKE TT PUBLIC.

When and where does the local school board hold it's meetings This is a question which quite large number of people, principally par. ehts, have asked in the past few days These parents are deeply in terested in the appointment of a su- perintendent for the public school, and they desire to enter a protest against the re-appointment of the present incumbent on the grounds that the pupils have made but little headway, and for the further reason that he has proven his inability to discipline the school.
 The people of this community are showing a deep interest in the af. fairs of the school board, and many of them are of the opinionthat the councils of this body should be open to the public They would also like to see a balance sheet published once in a while The taxpayers, while thoroughly satisfied as to the hon. esty of the body would like 10 kloW where the money is being spent and what is being purchased.

ergy, they are favorably impressed, and are more liable to remain and
 become interested in the resources of the country. They cannot remain
 for any length Of time without be ing forced to recognize the fact that this section has wonderful mineral resources, and one of the best meth ods of keeping them here is to make the place clean, comfortable and prosperous-looking. Boiled down to concrete form the argument is sim ply this. If the city is cleaned sup, it will inspire the confidence of the investor; if it reelis with filth and dirt, he won't be able to get away from the town quickly enough to suit him

ARE
 POORLY PAID

There must be a consensus of opinion in congress to the effect tha the members of the senate and the house of representative are not so badly treated in the matter of pay, or the increase in the salaries of the rank and file in both houses would not have met with the criti. cism it did.
 In discussing a case like this the comparisons are natural. But where as the generosity of Great Britain to the speaker of the house of commons is emphasized, the lack of generosi- ty to ordinary M P.'s is ignored. It is true, that the person in Lonodn who corresponds to your Uncle Joe Cannon is paid s25.000 d year, be- sides which a magnificent Goth.c mansion is provided for him. At the end of his service he is made a peer and receives a pension sufficient tO maintain his rank" So far so good But, instead of getting 5000 a year and mileage, as our federal lawmakers do, the British legislator has to live on no salary and pay his fare to and from parliament
 Clearly 1t is better to be an Amer 'Ican representative in congress than British M. P On the other hand as far as salary and so on are con cerLed it is better to be a British cabinet minister than an American one. This comes from the pension habit We take, say, distinguished lawyer with large practice, give him the honor and glory of a place in hn gnh fVan II 1,,, at the end of his term expect him to go back to his business and get it together again. This is right and proper, and it is shown that it is sc by the keen competition for sucn places.
 Our friends, the English, who have been a long time in the parlia. ment business, are highly inconsis- tent, for while they make it difficult for poor man to go into the house of commons, they make it very easy for him if he once gets into the cabinet. John Burns is president of the local government board. If the government in which he is a minis ter went out of office tomorrow he could apply for pension of s10,000 a year on the ground that his in- come was insufficient for his proper support. And he would get it.
 As a matter of fact, and in spite of the opinions of John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, who never saw udge jwho was ihs superior, we have been much more generous to the members of congress, all things considered, than to the president, the supreme court, the cabinet and the members of the diplomatic service.

MYSTERY IN
 THE pOSTOFFICE

It is perhaps easy to account for the non delivery of letter sent through the local mail once in while. but it would seem that there must be something wrong with the system. when registered letter addressed to well known citizen is received at the office, allowed to remain there for fourteen days, and is then returned to the perosn by whom it was sent. Yet this has been the experience of Mrs. William El- liott, wife of the well known Peluk creek operator The postmarkings on the envelope which has been seLt her from Oregon in a private letter show that the letter was registered at Portland, on September 6, 1906 and arrived at Nome on September 15. It bears two other groups Of markings made at the local office the first one reading: Second no- tice, Sept 22. 1906," and 'Un~ claimed; third and last notice, Sept 29, 1906" The letter arrived back at Portland, Jan. 25, 1907.
 Mrs Elliott states that her hus- band called at the postoffice for his mail after the arrival of each steam CT, and received no notification of the registered letter The markings however, would indicate that the mo- tice card had been issued. and that the letter laid in the local office for a period of two weeks. Why it was not delivered is one of the many post office mysteries that "Passeth all understanding

GENERAL CLEAN UP.

"Out of evil cometh good" is a quotation that has come to be rec ognized, and it is perhaps true that aesthetic heaps of muck, filth and garbage which adorn the back yards of Nome, as well as the water front have produced a new form of bacil- Ii, which creates an uncomfortable desire or cleanliness Whether there is anything in this theory or Lot, the fact remains that about seventy five per cent of the people of Nome inordinate desire for cleanliness, and the aesthetic piles or tin cans, brok- en bottles, refuse and other matter which nave showed up after the snow melted away and stood as monuments imperishable" to the laziness and sloveliness of the people of Nome, are rapidly being destroy ed. This desire for cleanliness seems to have infected SO many peo- pie that there is every reason to be- lieve that when some of the old tim CTS return on the first boats in the spring, they will think their vessel nas stopped at the wrong place. In former years every spring has usher ed il a scene depicting a city dirtier than any village on the Chinese wa '.r front but all this is to be chang ed The city is being cleaned by a crowd Of enthusiasts who are Lot only working themselves, but are in- ducing others to do so. Even the city councilmen have been seized with this strange desire for cleanli- ness and it is their intention to have the streets all washed off with the fire hose as soon as the ice melts. It mas been said that Cleanliness is next to Godliness,' and if this is true, there is no doubt that the resi- dents of Nome have been an unholy lot, but have suddenly been seized with an attack of piety. The outer muck is now being scraped off, and after that job Is completed the city will be bathed in the water of Be- ring sea, and our streets shall be winter than snow"
 This desire to clean up. although it has been a long time asleep, is nevertheless, very laudable one. and apart from the fact that itI might save the residents large sums in doctors bills, it will bring us good returns in other ways. During the past winter there has been an un- precedented amount of investment in Alaskan mining industries, and a large crowd of spectators and in- Vestors are expected to arrive here on the first boats There is noth- ing like creating a favorable first impression. If, when these men ar- rive here, they see dirty, muddy 1 filthy city, which bespeaks flthiness and lack of energy on the part of the inhabitants, they are apt to become disgusted and stay just long enough | to get aboard the first outgoing steamer, but, if, on the other hs@d, | a nice clean city, with clean streets, i which bespeaks prosperity and en-
