may be some, no doubt, that are being
held for dredgess but they are no good
for anything else but dredges and, as
far as dredging is concerned, it is pro-
bable that that same Internal associa-
ton system might be the best.
Ground Is not held long without be-
ing operated If it is much good
whether it is in the shape Of associa-
ton claims or not. It may be said
that ground in large quantities is not
prospected but is held to keep others
out, but does anyone really believe
this? Could anyone point to a single
rich creek where ground is held with
out being prospected? Is it hot u
fact that if one man held a large
amount of ground on a good creek
and did not prospect it some one else
would prospect in the neighborhood
and soon prove whether the thing IS
worth developing or not?
To go back to the old question: Is
there a goos. piece of ground any
where that is not developed or about
to be developed?
Questions like these may get us to
thinking and cause us to get clearer
insight into conditions by trying to
answer them.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST %, 1918

To the Honorable Augustus Octav-
ius Bacon, democrat, of Macon, Geor-
gia, senior United States senator from
that state, belongs the honor of being
the first member of the United States
senate elected to that body by direct
vote of the people Of the state.
AS this makes him a historical char
acter. it may be interesting to show
just who and what he is. He was born
appropriately for a democrat-in
Bryan county, Georgia, October 20,
1889, and is, therefore, nearly "a years
old. His father was a clergyman, and
Senator Bacon bears the University of
Georgia degrees of A. B., B. L., A. M.
and L. L. D. He entered the confeder-
ate army in 1861, was adjutant of his
regiment, and subsequently captain on
the general staff. He practiced law
from the end of the civil war until he
was elected to the United States sem
ate in 1894. The term for which he
has just been elected will be his fourth
and if he lives to end it he will have
been a United States senator for near
ly a quarter of century.

Does the stalking of great associa-
ton claims really hold back a coun-
try? Was the country really so much
injured by the old system Of doing
one hundred dollars worth of work
only on association claims?
These questions are put merely for
the purpose of directing the thoughts
Of people to the great question of rs
sociations and to the real effect hich
such wholesale stalking and the com.
paratively small amount of assess
ment work had on the development CT
a section. It is not at all to prove
that the association claim was right
or proper, for it certainly was not. but
for the sake of argument it is interest
ing to look at the matter from the un.
popular side.
It can really be said that the asso.
citation was not so bad as it was
PAINTED. It was absolutely no gcot
but as a matter of fact it did MOI keel
back development half as much al
people have been accustomed, some
what thoughtlessly, to say.
Can anyone say that there is an!
association claim which is any goot
that is not being worked today? Their

News always comes in patches. 1t
is something like sound waves that
reverberate through the world spas
medically. For a time, sometimes,
there Is silence, and then it comes.
Nearly two years ago it was the
Turkish war. Then came the wreck
of the Titanic. Afterwards came the
general elections to fill the newspa-
pers. Then came the war in the Bal
kans, the California alien law and it's
effect on the relations with Japan.
Now we have the Mexican affair,
the Sulzer impeachment and our dear
ly beloved Harry Thaw to relieve the
tedium of existence. They are doing
excellent service at present but they
cannot last forever. Behind the
scenes of this mundane stage, how
ever, there are events being prepared
that will once more bring the thrill to
our nerves. What are they?
The Nome daily nugget. (Nome, Alaska) 1906-1918, 1913-08-22

Nome has recently been visited by
more tragedies than usually occur in
the same space Of time in cities Of the
size. Within one month four sudden
deaths have taken place under most
regrettable circumstances. These
deaths have been bad in themselves
but they seem still more tragic when
the effect which they have had on re-
latives is remembered.
AS they are far away from Nome
the case of the relatives of Karl
Knudsen may be mentioned without
being indicate. He left father and
mother in Norway. One of these days
if it has not happened already, they
will receive a communication telling
them of the awful death of their SON
Truly those who are left are the real
victims of all fatal occurrences.

All who know Mrs. c. D. Lane, or
who knew her late husband, will hope
that the charge under which she has
been arrested has no foundation in
fact. That is, everyone hopes that
she is innocent, and at this distance
from the scene there can be no harm
in saying that if she erred in the at
tempt to influence a juryman at all
she did so without thinking Of the
seriousness of the offence or without
having any wilful desire to interfere
with the course Of justice. Like Mr..
Lane she may have been only too
ready to go to the aid Of friend.
Charles D. Lane was one Of the most
respected men in this section and all
who knew him or Mrs. Lane would be
the last to wish her trouble.

Most of the people lose the greatest
pleasure obtainable here by overlook
ing and despising the tundra. We
have come to regard the tundra as
something to be laughed at and avoid
ed when it really contains a lot OF
real beauty. The verdant freshness
of the grass at present is just as CRATE
full to the senses as a meadow in the
springtime outside. Just take small
patch Of the tundra-twenty feet
square or so-in places and look at II
closely. In that little patch you will
often find a miniature flower garden
and meadow combined. Some such
natural spots surpass the beauty Of all
the pictures that were ever painted

before the time 70 put in the grain, and
let it have time TO become dry, and the
grain can be safely put into It without
danger Of spelling from the dampness or
from the weevil
"The next important step is to
thresh the grain early. The earlier IL

while the reverse is certainly true that
the longer your wheat or cut grain re-
mains in the barn or stack unthreshed
the greater will be the amount Of injury
from the weevil.
