 If through any error of this kiiH' there is any misapprehension as to the needs of the people of Nome who suf- fcred by the storm 1t Is most neccs- sary that this misapprehnsion be cor rected as soon az possible. The city treasury was in a bad fix before the storm. The city will loose good dea, in taxes on account of the storm tni the city is up against much bigger cnpense account than it would have had had there been no storm. Of course there has been some money f"r relief received and this money can only properly be spent for relief and rn. because it has come from more or less private sources solely for the purpose of relief and rehabilitation. It Is unfortunate If the government has an error or misunderstanding been led into the belief that Nome does not need an appropriation. But If such a belief does exist 1t Is simply and saieiy on account of misunder- or through an error in 5 message. No one in Nome has ever intended to give the impresson that Nome did not need money md if such an impression has uuwittingiy gotten out It must be corrected immediately.

 "They necessarily dinned this as- sumption into the ears of the Hon.

In times of streps and strain such as people of Nome have been going through. are going through. the nerves are liabel to get bit out of order. People imagine things that do not ex- ist, misunderstanding occur and we are prone to jump at conclusions. This is very natural but ut the same time tho tendency should be curbed. For much harm may result from a nasty conclusion or an ill-advised statement.
 Furthermore we must remember that in reporting our condition and needs to the outside world we are at q great disadvantage in having to trust to q number of relays of wires where mis- takes may creep Into our messages. Also our messages are all subject to misconstruction by those who receive them because. of necessity. these mes- sases must be abbreviated.
 A man sitting in a comfortable of. fee, thousands of miles from Nome, has no conception of conditions here in Nome. He may get telegram from an authoritative source and miscon- strue the meaning absolutely. He Is not particularly interested In Nome anyway and SO he does not take the trouble to compare this misconstrued or garbled message with other mes- sa ges from the same source. Through ipadvertance of this kind infinite harm may he done. not only to the town of Nome. but also to the one who sent a message in all good faith wtteh was when received at the o.hey end. In this manner it Is quite coa.t,, able that O lack of uT derstar q ., ing at the other end and h k of ren- etratlon into the true meaning of a message sent from here with no other thought than the best interests of Nome might work to the disadvantage of Nome.
 A great many messages of one kind and another have been sent out. Some of them have been grltuitous expr-s- sions of opinions and descriptions of conditions. Some of them have bean offlcial and therefore of necessity ab- soIutely accurate as to conditions and needs. No official message ever left Nome with any false statement as Co what had happened here and what was needed here.
 There may have been. during the heighth of the excitement succeeding the storm. some private wires sent out that gave a wrong color of one kind or another to the picture of our needs. There were undoubtedly official dis |pAtebes sent out giving the exact state of agaAs. But all of these messages were .s1bject to .misconstr'ictisn bs
