POSTAL TROUBLES.

More noticeable this year than ever before in the history of Nome are petty postal Irregularities. the most conspicuous of which is that of hew- ing near the obscene post card law. Perhaps there are q few who are un- aware of the fact that there is a severe penalty for disobeying this universal regulation but ignorance is no excuse in law. as We all know well. During the past fiscal year the local postoffice has received and sent out greater number of post cards that are to say the least. suggestive. than ever before. Whether this fact is due to an increase in the nl mbcr of picture post cards issued or to more salient reason is not known. According to the postal there will be some radical action taken if this indecent practice is not stopped

 In the spring of 1900 the people who had wintercd here were getting uneasy just about this time. and were looking southward for the smoke of the first steamer.
