cour>se to stand before the ruins or what 1t had taken years to build up and resolve to start right at t again. Many man who gets blow like some of our merchants have just had dealt them would have given up. let go h's hold und scraped enough together out of the wreck to have gone out. Many q man would have simply laid down on the job and waited for someone to come along and pull. him out of the hole. Many a man would have gone whining to the relief committee and tried to get 1t to rebuild his pmce. Not so the strong hearted men who are doing business in Nome. They didn! even walt to see if relief was coming after their places were wrecked. They didn't stop to cry over their losses. They went right ahead. like men. and began over again.
 The minute the water went down these men were in their places N business digging out the sand ana salvaging what was left of their stock ana they didn't wait to see if help was coming and they didn't ask anybodies be,p. They were strong self-reliant mon and when the blow came ana knocked them down they got hack on tbe,r own feet by their own efforts. They came right back. Cam. lack good md strong and with their own resources.
 This. proves two things. It proves ,.o, the merchan nts of this little town of Nome are real men. and 1t proves that these real men believe in the future of Nome. What better proof of this belief in future prosperity can
 we have than the fact that nearly avery man who suffered by the storm
 fin a business way is now going on as
 before. Stores are repaired. stocks are. replenished. the customer Is met
 w,,b a cheerful smile. There isn't any
 whining and complaining. There isn't
 any prophisying of cvn times an"
 there isn't any fear for the future. That in itself assures a future Of pros
 ncrity for these men for nothing brings failure SO quickly as the fear of fall
 urc. Let a man once make up his mind that "n is an up with him" and nine times out of ten 1t is. Let the ~me man grit his teeth and defy the fantom of hard luck md nine times out of ten he will pull through on pure grit and because he does not believe in failure.
 That is just what is going on hero now The men who will not admit failure cannot fail They will not
 fail IL Is a safe prediction to say
 that these strong hearted men wh'
 went hack into the game will Q year
 from now be better off than they were
 before the storm. "As 4 man thinketd SO is he" These men think 'h''' lthey can win out here in Nome ano I,hcy will win out here in Nome and lone year from now the reward for thei'
