THE PRIZE CONTEST.

Never did men have so difficult a task set before them as did the three gentlemen who kindly consentd to act as judges in the contest for the prizes offered by the Nugget for the best essays on Thanksgiving Day in Nome.
 The difficulty lay in choosing from SO excellent a selection.
 TO say so is not detracting from the praise due the winners but rather adds to their victory by going to show that they met and defeated foes worthy of their steel
 To speak the praises of all the con testants would be matter of ease and simplicity. Their work shows their ability and training, and as the work itself can alone be taken as the best proof of it's own admirable quality. the Nugget has decided to place it before the whole community.
 Therefore, today will be found in other columns of this issue the best es- says submitted. Several others would also be worthy of spac" Were space moi SO limited
 Anyhow. let the pupils whose essays appear remember that they are taking no small share in contributing to the Thanksgiving pleasure of the whole district.

NO SIMPLE LIFE IN AMERICA.

The French were once considered the most excitable people in the world. Americans are becoming a close sec ond, if they are not actually more nervous than the French.
 Some kind of excitement seems nec- essary to the existence of the average Amrican Strikes. athletics. yachting, fishing, hunting horse racing. gam bling amusements parades. conclaves, chautauquas. reunions of various or ganizations, touring the country, sight seeing. trips to Europe-to be on the move and to bring people together is the rule
 Every one is eager for the unusual and the novel. apparently no one seeks repose the majority join the maddng crowds and contribute what they can to the noise and canfusion of the mul- titudes that congregate everywhere.

They volunteer to perform adventur- ous feats when excitement runs high, and they are sure to receive the plau- dits of an admring throng. albeit the hero of the hour may be ordinarily the veriest ne'er-d we'll
 The havoc which this ceaselrss strain is playing upon the men and women of our country is perceptible to all. and if the comparative tameness of the past has produced such regrettable conse- quences, what may not be the result of the many times multiplied cases of

THANKS kSGIVlNG.

Since the time when the Pilgrim Fathers prostrated themselves on the shores of New England and spoke their thanks t1 the Eternal Mercy the mo- mcut has never come when gratitude should have been absent from the breasts of the people of the United States.
 This country may be described as having been born with silver spoon in its mouth, as having been the adopted mothcrland of the very pick and choice of the earth. and as having been the favority daughter of generous provi- dcnce
 When the people of other lands are struggling to force themselves from be- meath the suffocating weight of pover- ty, privilege and prejudice the western republic has sailed along proudly as a moon in an almost cloudless sky.
 But the clouds have come and dark ones.
 Titanic struggles have taken place within the borders of Uncle Sam's territory. The enemy had to be re- pulsed, great questions had to be solved by the sword. the blood of brothers had to be shed.
 But all Was only the test of fire. and great as the sacrifices have been the land has come from the ordeal purer stronger, brighter and wiser
 And all the time, when vast expanses of territory were being added to the nu- clcus, when the nation was growing from little colony to a peoples empire even the intellectual giants who guided it's destiny must have been unaware of the real greatness of its future.
 Here in Alaska conditions exist which are not in all ways dissimiar to those which obtained in far away New England.
 Alaskans may not be blessed by some of the advantages which blessed the East, but she is gifted with hundred li''H tbt TdllltfS Wbuiu faNe INokputIor in vain.
 They had crossed strange ocean and the modes of travelling at that time made their return next to impos- sblc, while the people of Alaska have never left the maternal apron strings
 Here in the Northland can be found nothing but that for which thanks are due.
 Here is great young territory which awaits the work of patient hands The limits of its progress cannot be distin- guished. Those whom the fates have chosen to develop it are placed where great opportunities present themselves from the beginning.
 Alaska is the Northern Star by the light of which the people of the East observe the expansion of the Father land towards the mysterious region on lh" earth's pinnacle

 If the unnatural and strenuous life being pursued by most of our people k not affecting the nation why is it that there is daily record of nervous Ibreakdowns?

A GREAT MOVEMENT

The invitation which President Roose- welt has just issued to the Governors of the states and to the others to meet at the White House in May, 1908, to dis cuss the question of means to conserve the natural resources of the country is one of the most significant steps the president has ever taken.
 After outlining the reasons for the invitation and discussing the gravity of the situation, the President cenclud- es: Facts, which can not gainsay, force me to believe that the conserva- tism of our natural resources is the most weighty question now before the people of the United States If this is so the proposed conference, which is the first of it's kind, will be among the most complete gatherings in our history in It's effect upon the welfare of our people.
 The proposed meeting is of more significance to the South than to any other part of the United States per haps on account of the fact that in a large measure, our resources are not destroyed. The question then is of more importance to us since we have some thing to preserve. The natural resources of the East are depleted. This fact is instrumental in calling the president s attention to the situation which is a grave one. The time to save anything is when we have it. It is reassuring to contemplate that there are few officials in the country who have some thing else at heart besides their politi- cal interests.

has been done in this case.

If the opinion of old observances is to be believed, the indications now are that we will have a good crop year next year. An early and cold winter is usually followed by an early spring. We have few worse crop years than we have had this year. Until May, the ground was too wet to blow. Since that time until now, we have had al- most continuous drouth.

The Citv Streets.

 There was a girl--a little girl
 It seems so long ago Since her hand slipped from mine and I Was left alone with woe! Her small white feet had prairie paths But known. where grass was green, And dandelons, dew diamonded.
 Lent luster to the scene. This word remains to mark the years Since her sweet spirit fled. 'The city streets are wrinkled They're hard to walk" she said. They're hard to walk, lost love of mine. Without reproach or fear. Did prescience of my present pain In your rose days appear? Or, may 1t be beyond the stars.
 Before Gods golden throne, I'll know why I must tread to-day
 The city streets alone.

Some women get cold with the first frost and never get warm again until the dogwood blooms.
 Some of the lies we hear are so inexcusable, that they are only endured upon the theory that they are told for practice.
 There is always room at the top because people who get to that point are never permitted to remain but a very short time. There is but a slight differ ence between a rumOr and a lie; and if the relationship continues to draw much closer our next dictionary will class the two as synonimous.s
 Some strenuous reformer has found a mistake in school book. That's what we call the limit.
 Considering the temptations there are in this world for being mean, don't you think every body is remarkably good? Every man has an uncommon ly fine article of common sense the next day after he has made a fool of himself.
 Mt sometimes happens that a corner stone is turned into a stumbling block.

It is not the purpose of the News to take up the Hawkins-Thomas feud or to have anything to do with it. Nor ought this feud to have anything to do with the removal of Hawkins name from the corner stone of the Methodist church at this place. What the church conference ought to do is to see that the letters and figures are restored, and if it does not, then the member ship ought to take it up, unless some good and sufficient reason is given why it should not be done It is very se- rious question for church to do what

To Go To Supreme Douri
Special to the News.

cpeClal tO the iNeWS.
 Little Rock, Nov. 19.-Chair- man Turner, of the Grievance Committee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, was on the stand in the Pulaski Circuit Court nearly all of this morning, testifying in the case of the State vs. the Rock Island Rail road, testing the full crew law passed by the recent legislature. The witness testified that three brakemen were absolutely need ed on every train for the proper handling of the bushes S, where as only two have been employed. The case will doubtless go to the Supreme Court for final adjust ment. -.
 J. E. Williams, trial lawyer for the Iron Mountain, put Turner through terrible grilling, while on the stand.
