Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. OCTOBER 20, 1913

The situation in r.41rd [" the relief that Nome needs is not as happy a' il might he. This IS not a tim" [" wander around i'll the realm uf theories bccauso that will not d" any good. The fact seems tn S'.irc lis in the face that someW here snm"thng in the Achrm- of things slipped uu the relief proposition. Just how this slip came about is matter of opinion. Certain 1t is that no one ever intended any thing but the Lest interests of Nome in anything that they dld.
 The NUGGET did not approve of the way things started. The NUGGET cid not hesitate to say that it did not approve. But ,h" fact does not necessarily make th" NUGGET right and every one else wrong. There were others. jusr us much interested in %omc as is the NUGGET and they had a different idea about how things should he done and their idea prevail cd. The NUGGET then gave it's sup" port to the plan as arranged and will continue to support any plan for the hcttermcnt and prosperity "f Nome.
 There are one or two very unfor- tunate things in connection with the appeal for relief. The first and mos; serious is that when the first telc- grams were sent out they were not all sent from the same source. That Is they were not all Nis"d 'y s"m' central committee which would have seen and corrected any inconsistencies in the accounts of tho damage and re- quests for aid.
 II is mfortuat" for instance that enc telegram should go outside say ing that there WaS great d"stllu'i"f in Nome. drstitutinu meaning thn' people were without food "r shelter or proper clothing, and that on tn, heels of this should go another mes, sage saying that there was no desti- tutiun The statements were contra dictory and most naturally the pc"- rlr on thc ulit>id" lr'sdn [" wonder It was more lnfortunat" even that after the appeals for assistance had been sent that thcy wrrr Immediately followed hy messages saying that there were plenty nt provisions and thnt only money was nv"i"d. That at onee trsa,,i : l~" "ion.
 It is known that ofcls of help in the way of food and lumber were made and then Withdrawn when word came that only cold cash was wanted in Nome. We realize that it is bette. to buy what is needed ill the way of supplies right here. l'atronize home industries is right and proper. They must he patronized and supported and yet it didn't sound good to the fellow outside to be informed that people in Nome were destitute and then to be told that they only wanted money. l: doesn't sound right to ask for charity and then to draw up specifications as to the particular brand of charity that will be acceptable. Such course would put a crimp in any appeal fol relief and it seems to have put ' rrimp in Nomcs
 The whole method was illadvise, and as q matter of fact rather small The big broad. manly way to have handled the affair would have been
