Without the knowledge of the peo- pie of this city volcanic ashes have been falling on the town and on the whole coast during the past "A hours.
 The snow around Nome has turned gray and, while the people are going about on their ordinary occupations one of the strangest of the freaks of nature is occurring around and about them.
 Early in the day word came from the Nugget cores spondcnt at Teller that the volcanic ash was falling there and had caused the discoloration of the snow in that district as well as at Gold Run and Tin City.
 The phenomenon was noticed first around Nome late this afternoon when mushers arrived and reported that it was noticed the disturbing of the snow showed the surface to be darker than the part beneath.
 Teamstcrs are complaining that their sleds pull hard, and the substance grows thicker as the day advances.
 People walking about the city throughout the day noticed an unusual darkness despite the clearness of the sky, but few paid any attention to it as it seemed to be the effect of the

 The ground is owned by Kennedy Brown, the Brmcr brothers and others and the pay was struck some time ago, but for reasons best known to them selves the owners decided not to make the news of the find public

 The west wind which has prevailed has evidently floatcd the ashes ovci rom the direction of the Gold Run country, and this fact indicates that the cause of it has happened to the west.
 Remembering that the ash consumed about 24 hours in reaching Nome from Teller one is led to the conclusion that it must be of great buoyancy and capa- blc of travelling an immense distance through the air. which fact. in turn, gives rise to the belief that tn" vol cauo from which the ashes cam" may he a long. long way off

THIRD BEACH FOUND
 WEST OF SUNSET

Nothing very rich has been struck SD rar but the strike is evidently one of the most important ones made since the discovery on Anvil creek
 Kennedy and Brown say it means nothing less than the opening of work all along the third beach line between Sunset creek and Penny river and the development of territory towards which the population has looked with hope for years.

CAECHACO COMPLAINS
 OF SOURDOUGHS' SNOBBERY.

The following solf-cXplanatory let ter was received this morning:
 My first Nome hanksgiving is a weed ahead of me, and here in my hand is a printed slip stating that if tell story of a Nome Thanksgiv- ing" I can win $2o, if my story is se- Iectcd by the three wise men of Nome as the best of the bunch.
 Rather tough on a chechallo, don't you think? As my knowledge on the subject is yet to come I cant expect to win your prize But. say, Nugget, that $20 looks as big as a cart wheel to fellow before Christmas. Why have you limited this story to a Nome Thanksgiving" Now, I am just as able and willing to sling ink about our Pilgrim Fathers as any of these old sourdough boys who think they know it all, and are too superior to answer questions about things that a chechaco like me would like to know. They patrouize a fellow so.
 This ice will come and go before I can get out of this camp, even if l wanted to. and you have my permission to publish the fact that I don't want to leave Nome. This is the finest country I was eevr in. and next year it will be still finer. for then I will be a real sourdough myself, and I'll know all about the ways of treating the checha- co that comes along. And Nugget, you just tote out the same offer next year and watch me grab it, If the size of your offer of s2O keeps growing in the year, as it has in my mind since it has been offered. it will be as big as a Ferris wheel when l pocket it.

 The scandal is almost certain to re- suit in the making of a rigid examlna- tion of the condition of the fort.

 Mayor Baldwin says it is the inten tion of the government to obtain ground as near to the center of the city as possible.
 The ground required is about 400 feet square in extent. The matter will be brought up at the regular meeting of the council tonight, but it is hardly likely that so important a matter will he decided without a greater opportu- nity for weighing both sides of the matter

ventured to whisper occasional protest.
AT length the city council went so far as to
compound the crime with the lawbreakers and
pass an ordinance upon the terms of which it
tacitly understood that no interference by the
city government should take place in the saloons
iawbreaking.
Again and again, Republican and Democratic
candidates for mayor have announced before cleo
ton that, if elected, they would not enforce the
Sunday closing laws-and the good people, as
well as the bad, voted for them.
There never has been any doubt concerning the
real status of the Sunday saloon in Chicago
No one has ever seriously questioned the
premacy of the law of the state or its force and
effect in this city, yet with the exception of one
mayors administration, during which time the
law was enforced and the rebel ordinance
appealed to against it, the saloon has gone
breaking the law every Sunday as openly as it
has sold liquor on Saturday. and during the
greater part of all this time has also violated the
ordinance. Upon summer Sunday, 1900 Chi
cago saloons, with their front doors wide open
as the mouth of hell" and the many going in
thereat, has been a common sight in this city.
The first real attempt within recent times to
close the saloon on Sunday was made in the fall
of 1903, the movement being led by the editor of
The National PyohibitioniSt who was at that
time the secretary of the Law and Order League
of Englewood, the great southern Prohibition
district of this city That movement after few
months of energetic fighting, ended in failure. 1t
may be recorded as matter of history, that the
failure because of the enormous sums of
money which the liquor interests had at their
disposal; because Of the inefficient court system
then in vogue in this city; because of the ability
of the liquor interests to bride juries because of
the criminal neglect and opposition of the city
government and the states attorney, but chiefly
because the good people of the city, frightened at
the sacrifices and effort required, surrendered to
the rebels, pulled down the flag of law and
order, and let the reign of anarchy go on.
A few months later Mr.. w. F. MULvIHILL be-
came secretary of the Englewood Law and Or
der League, and shortly after taking that office
began quietly to agitate for renewal of the Sun
day closing fight On this occasion the move
ment was made to the whole city and vari-
Gus kindred organizations were federated as
Chicago Law and Order League, of which Mr..
ARTHUR BURRAGE FARwELL famous for his work
against the saloon in Hyde Park, became presi-
dent, and in which Mr.. E. ]. DAVIS president of
the Englewood Law and Order League has been
of the strong moving forces.
This movement gained impulse from at
tempt the part of the liquor interests to rally
the "foregn-born citizens" for a movement
against the Prohibition districts of Chicago. I'm

capitalists, an organization came into public
