PULLING TOGETHER.

The secret Of power. strength and prestige in organization is unIonisn |. effort Great men have conceded this point Whether in business. politics or war the united efforts of a body Is necessary for results. Two forces puu- Ing in opposite directions can accom-. plish nothing. nor can two men who are working for the same end. bu, in different directions.
 In congress. it has been proven lime and again that unionism is the life of the most important Issues which have eourted success.
 Two men in business are a failure unless their identical efforts run in ,hs same channel
 An organization. such as the Nome chamber of Commerce. comprising the interests Of all. must be the agency Of united ertort before entire success can De met with. Factions may be well enough in their place. bu, fin such an Institution as a chamber of cor.

OUR MERCHANTS

The popular belief that the rnechants of Nome reap a fine harvest during the winter season after the close of navi- gation. fades away like the morning mist on a hot summers morning when the matter is investigated
 The Nugget has been looking Into the question Of high living, and ex- orbitant prices paid by the consumer here in Nome. and the quintesence oi the matter boiled down to hard facts proves that living is cheap in Nome taking all things into consideration. and that the merchant has far better chance of running behind after Febru- ary than he has of breaking even and the grocery man who come out ahead after that date Is the exception
 Market reports and letters sent in To Nome from the outside porye that We can purchase first class canned goods for the same price asked in the states. with little or nothing added for the cost of transportation which is q serious item. Then on top of that k the eight long months that merchants have 10 keep their money tied up worth in this country one per cent a month and this should be added to the selling price Of the goods with a certain par cent in addition to meet the profit and loss side Of the ledger from 'reakers." ereakage and shrinkage.
 The price Of canned goods is not all that Is just as cheap in proportion many other staple articles are nearly as cheap, and all the old timers writ. ing 'o friends In Nome complain of ,ba high cost Of living on the outside.
 We may rave and wax hot over the thousands that the Nome merchants are making, but at the same time We have cause to give thanks We don't have to carry their load. between Jan uary ] and the arrival of tho frs, boats In the spring. True they make A t'" dollars during the summer and they are entitled 10 like all who invest their hard earned cash in this country But In all justice 10 the merchan, we state that from our investigation coup led With reports sent fin from the ont. side We believe they are doing as well by us as We can expect

THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE.

The search for the northwest pas sage began almos, immediately after the discovery of America. In 1855 d company was formed in London for th. purpose of discovering such a passage. and from that time right on for more than three centuries the quest was kept up For many years the British par liament had standing reward of $lo0. = DOC for the one who should succeed in finding a way around North America into the Pacific. It was only yesterday as 1t were. that the work was com pletely done by R. Amundsen, who in lso6 succeeded in sailing through every loot Of the I"ng sought passage

CHEER UP.

Alaska is being skinned out of her hsh and her lumber by the British loggers and Cannerymen along the boundary. according 10 the report of men who are located along Portland canal, and the rivers and inlets of our southern border, says the Ketchi<an Miner.
 our government has no system of patrol and whole seasons go by with out the appearance of a government officer to stop illegal fishing and the running of legs from the Alaska side gentleman told the Miner this week that he had located csnnery site on the canal. but intended to build on the Canadian side He said that the China men and Indians would run the fish across. especially Sundays catch when they are forbidden to fish in Canada and Sell them at greatly reduced price. But then. what's the use of hollering. Congress answered all prey ious petitions for justice by protecting our bears, and a request to protect the fish and logs might result in getting the wolves guarded Cheer up, Tafts aggregation of needy politicians will soon get q commission to come ou, here and set things alright

 A few years ago there was 6 most excellent cartoon published in one of our great papers on the outside, which was nothing more than a fair likeness of w R. Hearst, who was then trying 10 win the nomination as president from a certain political faction. and under the cartoon was The Unspeak able Candidate" This killed him off as candidate for there was SD much back of the term
 In every country, state. county or city. with very few exceptions. there are "Cnspeakable Candidates" and they generally have a weakness for wanting to run politics. But whenever they go before the people the patriotic loving. fair-minded citizens exert themselves to nip all such in the bud and their only power is that of the cheap politic- ian who claims to be the power behind the throne Were the people given chance such men would be buried full fathom five by the avalanche of public opinion.

NEGOTIATIONS ON THE CENSUS,

Complete census returns reveal the fact that We are today in numbers the fourth nation in the world. The Brit ish. Russian and Chinese empires alone preced" us This is some progress for i country which century and a quar- ter ago had fewer inhabitants than Ireland
 In quality "f population We take first place. for there are more people or the white race living under the Stars and Stripes than under any other flag ex- c"pt that of Russia Tho quality of our population in education. economic development, political progress and fin other ways easily takes precedence over that of Russia.
 In the British empire are four hun dred million human beings. but only q small minority are white and highly civiliz"d. Tn" vast majority Of Brit ish subjects are In India. The people of our distant colonies do not outnun- ber our home population. They form but one-tenth of the hundred millions Ours Is the only great country on the lace Of the earth that is self governing under system Of manhood suffrage and her voters number hardly one ffth as many as ours
 The expansion Of the nation iu gov ernment. in wealth in civilization. has been as impressive as it's growth in population. The one regrettable feature o' our last decades growth is the rush to the cities. and the actual depletion of the agricultural population. This is great economic fact that demands study II arises from a number of causes. and it does not necessarily mean dire things for the republic.
 If there are fewer people in the conn. try and more in the city. the great outstanding fact is that men have gone where other men are. The agregarious instinct has asserted itself To re. Vers" this process. or even 10 stay it's

THE LOOKER-ON

The Knights of Robert Emmet did themselves proud last Saturday even ing in the Sons of the North Hall. when they enacted the role of Mine Host" and proved to their invited guests that they are past masters in the art of good entertainers All who attended had most excellent time. and were surprised al the entertainment provided for their amusement
 The music and songs were of the best. and the words as well as the strains of the old Irish melodies and addresses during the evening were chuck full of wit. or pathos as the occasion required. and there is vet to be discovered race of people on this planet Of ours who can discount the Hibernians in the art of elocution Many try to equal them but few. If any, ever dared to claim to b. their superiors
 The Knights of Robert Emmet made a hit with the Nomeites and 1t was with a sigh of regret that the Home Sweet Home informed one and all that il was time to be up and doing if they wanted to retire before the shafts Of daylight appeared in the East x
 Many believed that March would see a quiet time in respect 10 entertain ments, and exciting times. but there is no let up. for several lively times are now on tho boards. and then there Is the All-Alaska Sweepstakes race and city election. Say nothing about the l7th of Ireland
 We will have enough To entertain us in plenty. for the city election win be an exciting event. unless all signs fail. and We know what the annual dog race will do in the way of making people stay up nights and part with their money trying to prove that their judg- ment is better than the other fellows.

 James Wickcrsham is anxious to get President Taft to visit Alaska. for he realizes that if the president would take the trouble to visit this vast country of ours he will have his eyes opened in manner that no committee or re- ports could accomplish President Taft while in Roosevelts cabinet visited the Philippine islands and Is very ia miliar with conditions in the far East. and should he come to Alaska during the present summer. We could expect more favors in the way of favorable legislation during the following winter.
 Then our Hon. Delegate realizes that a visit on the part of the president would convince our executive that he is the peoples candidate and that the people are behind him form one end Of Alaska to the other. and this knowI- edge would give him more weight back in Washington.
 There is a great deal to this for General Mans who doesn't have any, thing to do with politics predicted the election of wickersham early in July last year just from the knowledge he picked up while making a tour of the territory
