rural free delivery carrier. turned
turtle between East Hardwick and

OFFICIAL PAPER.
NOME, ALASKA, MAY 25, 1911.
RUSSIAN COERCION OF CHINA.

The announcement made to the Eu- ropean cabinets that Russian is about to make a military demonstration" on it's Chinese frontier is matter that concerns the American people.
 For sound reasons of state as we'll as from motives of wide humanity. this government has. from the days of John Hay done it's diplomatic best to main- tain the neutrality and territorie in- tegrity of the Chinese empire.
 It is. of course, possible that the Russian pretense that it's treaty rights in the Chinese district of Iii have been violated by the Chinese is more and better than a pretext for aggression.
 But, judging from the history of the two disputing powers, the probability is that Russia is on the rampage once more. and that Americans and others who have interests in the Far East had better look out.-Ex

THE PRICE OF ADMIRALTY COMES
 HIGH.

It appears as if standardization of the battleship and it's equipment were impossible. and 1t Is this fact that adds so enormously to the cost of building and maintaining a modern navy A battleship may be said to become ob- solete in ten years from launching, and although efforts have been made to overcome this condition and bring ships up to date, it is found that this is an unprofitable policy.
 Secretary Meyer has decided that ships of the line shall not in future be modernized. It is less expensive to build new ones. The cost of modern ization has in some cases gone as high as si.000,o00 without very satisfactory results. These more or less obsolete ships would go into the second line in any case, whether they have been modernized or not. and in time of peace would be used for breaking in and training crews. Their value as part Of fighting line is quite problematical. A ship of inferior equipment may prove more dangerous to her friends than her enemies.
 The short life of a modern ship of war raises a difficult question of naval policy. When England launched the first dreadnought that event practically made all the navies of the world ob- solete, and it had a very unexpected result because it created a new start ing point. When Germany began rap idly building a new navy of all dread noughts England was thrown into spasms of fear lest her supremacy on the seas might be lost. Then began the ruinous race in the construction of naval monsters costing matter of 10000, 900 apiece. The race is still kept up and apparently must go on and even accelerate its pace until the point of financial exhaustion Is reached, because the nations are confronted with the real or fancied necessity of building a complete navy every ten years.
 When Great Britain undertakes to
 lay keels for six or eight dreadnoughts every year the cost Is easily counted, but not so readily met. This Is the price of admiralty.

PENSIONS FOR LIFEsAvERs.

It is not easy to understand why there should he stubborn opposition to the pending bill for the granting of pensions in the lifesaving service. says New York exchange. There surely are no other public servants. at any rate in time Of peace. who suffer greater hardships, incur greater risks of illness. accident and death, or who in propor- tion to their cost perform labors of greater profit to the nation. than the members of lifesaving crews. Their pay is so small that any considerable saving from it Is impossible. and the strict rules of the department prevent them from engaging n any other oc- equation for gain. Moreover. when they get done with their service for the government they are generally incapa- citated for further activity.
 In these circumstances they. or their dependents and survivors. certainly seem to be entitled to consideration at ths hAhus or the government. Tn pri- vate industries the principle of em- riCyers' responsibility Is gaining favor. ara more and more 1t is being held that a business should bear It's own risks. There is apparent no good req son why the government should differ from other employers or why the pub lie business should be exempted from the general rule of responsibility for its own risks. If there were any economic reason for denying the pen sions. such as that the treasury actual ly could not afford it. the case would be understandable. though regrettable. If the pensions should. however. be denied not on that ground but on that of lack of merit in the proposition. the

 The mothers of Nome met with the Ladies Aid of the Pilgrim church Tuesday afternoon. and we are led to believe the school question was taken up by the mothers and thrashed out Just what was done we do not know but there is a rumor to the effect it was suggested that an order for a stock of new brooms would not come amiss in the near future.

THE L0OKER-ON

Last evening the Masons and mem bers of the Eastern Star gave a social for the benefit of the Masonic home in the state of Washington, and nearly every member of both institutions were present to help the good cause along. The affair not being Of a local nature Masons and members Of the Eastern Star the world over. who happened to be in Nome attended.
 The Masonic order dispenses more charity than any other fraternal order in the world. but where it is given, to whom, and for what reason is never published. even the brothern of the lodge giving help may not know except the officers.
 The social for the benefit of the Masonic home is a worthy and good one, showing that the Masonic spirit of the Masons and members of the Eastern Star of Nome is broad enough to extend far beyond the border of the territory, much the same as 1t Is in other elimes for "hands across the sea" extended in welcome, friendship and help was first inaugurated by the An cient order of Masons.

several weeks. Such cheese makes
fine filling for sandwiches, and it is
nice to have some on hand for emer-

an omelet.
Cheese and Olive saIad.-Mash a

Facts About Magnetic Storms.

Magnetic slorms are disturbances
of the earth's magnetism manifested
by auroral displays, excitement Of the
magnetic needle and interruption of
telegraphic communication. They are
often associated with great outbursts
on the sun. 1t has generally been as
sumed that they occur simultaneously
over all the earth, but DR.. j.. A. Bauer
now questions the correctness Of this
assumption. Studying magnetic
storm which occurred in May, 1902,
simultaneously with the outbreak of
Mont Pelee, In Martinique, he reaches
the conclusion that the disturbance
originated about fourteen degrees
west of Martinique, and travelled east
ward about seven thousand miles
minute, encircling the entire globe.
Examination of the records Of other
storms leads him to think that such
disturbances usually travel eastward,
but sometimes westward, at the rate
of thousands Of miles minute, so
that, in general, they encircle the
earth in about four minutes.

Almost daily hunts have been con-
Quoted, and the nine hounds have

Recently there was a hunt on Mill

handled the bear. the latter, true to
his fighting style, sitting upon his

finished the bear with a bullet. The
leading bear hunters are v. A. and W..
