NOME, ALASKA. DEC. P. 1913.

The store windows have taken o1 t.,e holiday appearance that brings q i"a;iz' tion of the approaching Christ mas. The spirit which prompts a merchant to dress his windows for the hclidny season, the spirit which cause ! pe"p.e to place extra lights on their buildings and provide especial cheer within them is world wide and is al- ways an evidence of the approach of the festival of Christmas. It is q good "heery whole hearted spirit and il per- vades the world from one end Ia the other at this time of the year
 The palaces of kings. the cots nf the lowly. the cabins of the miners and the rigging of ships the world over are being decorated for the Christmas time.
 Outside of its religious significance son is Il splendid thing for all of us. Tfere Is none so alone in the world that the heart does not warm II hit towards his fellow man when the sea son of Christmas comes around
 Christmas is q time for rejoicing and merrymaking and the forgetting of grudges and grievances It is good time for the man who has been going around with grouch to chuck it overheard and get into the cheerful class of optimists who. after all. are the only people in the world who are worth while
 Take man or woman who goes through lie with ii perpetual kick about one thing or another, and those pcssimists always find something to kick about. and you will find right there an enemy to society. The fel- low who finds everything all wrong ana sees no good in his fellow man or in the government or in the condi- tions under which he lives is inc big. E.st bore in the world He is tol. eIated by his friends for one reason or another but he is a perpetual source of discord and annoyance
 on the other hand the man who can throw off his grouch and see somc- thing to be thankful for and to be happy over in every occurrence is the sort of a man that people want around and the sort of man who is a benefit to the community
 Let enough people become optimists and the whole tone of the town will be optimistic. There will not be any room for the pessimist and the man who brings evil hy predicting evil. That is one of the surest ways to make things go wrong. by the way. just to predict that they will go wrong and then sit down and wait to have your prediction fulfilled.
 But the merry little optimist. who can see the bright side of everything and who by his mere cheerfulness can make other people more cheerful is '

 The cheerful man and tho hopesul man Is a great asset at any time but especially is he a handy thing to have around during the Christmas holidays It is fine to see the cheerful optlmist as expressed in the window decora tions and the new lights in Nome. It ia gladstone thing to know that the merchants and others still retain that good old fashioned spirit that makes Christmas time for rejoicing and celebrating with especial displays and decorations.
 The enterprise of the men who have put the holiday decorations in their windows Is to be commended. but of more value to the community Is the good old fashioned Christmas spirit that leads every man to make some especial effort at showing his appre- ciation of the season and Its meaning.

is being found under the drifts. Draws
and creeks are still full of heavy wet
snow. while there is considerable snow
on the prairie yet and although the
ground is taking most of the snow, as
1t has melted SO far, owing to the
fact that 1t has thawed but little since
the storm, there will be, however, high
waters along the creeks should the
go off with a warn rain or a
quick thaw. The Milwaukee railroad

up yet and some mail has been sent
from Interior overland by way Of
Quinn aad out oyer the Northwestern
railroad from this point. Reports are
that large numbers of both cattle and
horses persisted in the drifted snow

STEADY INCREASE OF
TRAFFIC ON MISSOURI

Chamberlain, S. D., March 29.-Few,
people outside of this immediate To-
cality realize the fact that each year
shows a steady increase Of freight
traffic on this part of the Missouri
river.
Capt. w. B. Wait, owner of the fa-
nous river packet, Rosebud has
added 81 feet to her original length, so
all that he can possibly do with her
from the lime the river opens until it
closes late in the fall. Capt. Alb Ayers
was so crowded with freight traffic
last year that in addition to his packet
THE Iowa." which is 80 feet in length
by a 22-foot beam, that he built the
y. w. Sanford that stands So feet in
length by 18R-foot beam. Then last
fall the King Brothers, who, by the
way, are old time river men here. Sc
cured the franchise for all the ferry
business between this city and Ameri-
can Island, and, are building the L.
r. K" which is "a feet by IN 1Sh-foot
beam.
Captain Wait was elected one OF the
directors Of the rivers and harbors con-
gress at Washington, D.. c., last De-
cember, and is very enthusiastic over
Missouri river navigation. He says it
will not be long before there will be
a regular packet line between here and
Sioux City. In fact, Captain Wait has
made a great many trips with freight
and stock from this locality to Sioux
City, but has never yet tried to do a
regular business.

out as the result of a hearing conducted
here blythe members of the state
board of railroad commissioners on a
complaint of Salem business men and
others. TIL case was taken under adj
visement.
The testimony tended to. show that

the original investment.
The testimony further indicated that
LOT each share of stock sold at $50, five
additional shares have been issued
from the earnings and the company has
paid at least 6 per cent interest on the
original and watered stock annually.
