ever, that the rich ground holder will find it to his advantage to develop property instead of letting it lie idle.
 At first glance 1t looks like a re- markabIe law to say the least of it.. It would be presumptuous to decide for or against it without a careful study of all it's bearings and its ef- fects. Indeed the thought is forced upon the reader of 1t that the leg islature took upon itself a very serious responsibility by passing such a meas ure in the short. time at its disposal and without having consulted the peo- pie of the territory. It looks like one more bit of evidence that "leeisla- ton right or wrong, but legislation" was the motive behind the actions of Alaska's first representative assembly.
 This law may wcrk out all right. lt may be the very thing for which AIsskans have been waiting, but time alone can tell.

According to the new law passed by the Alaska legislature assessment work, worth $1oo, must be accom- plished on each and every twenty acres of placer mining ground "here- tofore located" # "words are words" that means nothing more or less than that all the eight acre associations in the territory must have $500 worth of work done on each of them for each
 and every year after the present year.
 There will, undoubtedly be many and diverse opinions expressed on this regulation. 1t will seem like a hard
 ship to those who have "held down" association claims for many years and it will be taken as a wise rule by others. One thirs is certain and that is that the poor man will be the sufferer if the law is enforced. He will be compelled to spend three months, nearly, on ground on which he did the assessment work in ten days hsretofore. The law also meansy hoW-

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 3, 1913.

Several times after the coming of the boats all of us see people on the streets whose faces are as "famiIar" as possible but whose names we cannot remember to save our lives. This is harder on ourselves than it is on the one half forgotten. He has had his mind on Nome since he went out and meeting us again after his return on our home ground he remembers us, but we have managed to let him slip almost entirely from our memories.
 Nothing could place man in a greater fix thu to have some fellow come up and shake his hand warmly and almost affectionateIy and not re. member who in thunder he is or where he came from. Hang it, | remember your face but l can't think of your name" is phrase so often heard in this nomadic land that it has become a classic.
 1t would be better for us all to un. derstand at once that memory plays strange old tricks with LIS and that the momentary forgetting of a name is no sign that friendship has ceased. Even one that We have often thought about takes us by surprise when we meet again. It is we'll known to one who has spent years away from home that he finds himself forgotten almost by the closest friends of his youth while he has remembered every one of them every day in his life. He thinks constantly of the place he has left and each of his old friends are as. soeiated in his mnd with the place, but those who remain at homo have not in their nninds the place to which their friend has gone and, therefore, thsre is nothing to keep him constantly in their thoughts. They do not know the place of their friend but he knows the place where they reside and he knows and remembers them as part of it.
 So, therefore, those who como in the / ships back to Nome "havs tho advan- tass of us." Indeed that quoted phrase sums up the whole matter and those returning should not feel badly # we do sometimes fail to recall Chem right away.

President Wilson has appointed L. T. Erwin to the narshalship despite the strenuous objections of Delegate Wickersham, Territorial Committee man Roman and many other citziens of the Panama. As yet we have not heard of the appointment being con- firmed, and it is just even possibIs that we won't hear of it for some time, if at all, as Mir. Wiekersham will make a fight against it in the senate and lay the true situation before ti at body.
 't is possible that the app ointment may go through, and if it does we will await with interest to see what will undoubtedly be a worse admin istration of the marshars office, if such a thing Ee possible, than what we have had for the last four years.
 We are not, like many others in ths town who, while privately op- posed to the appointment of "stubs' are now ready to pat him on the back and tell him what a good fellow he is. Our opinion has not changed in the least regarding him, and it will not change unless he can prove to US that he has changed materially since he last held public office in this com munity.-Fairbanks Citizen.

The fact that the cutter Bear had to go to British Columbia to secure coal for the trip north is one that makes one ponder on the strange ways of governmental departments. 1t also enlightens us as to the peculiar con- dition in which the United States is placed on the Pacific ocean. The coal of the Pacific coast states is not fit for use on ships and the officers of the Boar say that if the cutter had been compelled to use coal from the Washington state mines it would not vet have reached Nome.
 Th,s all means that if war were declared by some Pacific power to- morrow this country would be com pelled to ship the coal supply from tho East for its fleet.
 But if no danger of war ever exist ed it still a tremendous waste to have to go to foreign mines for the but for the merchant fleet of the navy but for the merchant fleet of tho United States on the Pacific end for the foreign ships that are coaIed on this coast. 1t is rather late in the day to speak of such matters now, however, as movement has already been made to test the coal of Alaska. Should it be found to be what is required the territory-wiIl at once as- sume an importance which gold min ing could not probably cause unless than it is at present.
 1t is to be hoped that tho tests will prove to be satisfactory.

WHAT WILL IT MATTER?

The Times a few days comment
cd on the suggestion made by n prom
inept woman suffragist that when wo-
men were able to vote they would be
able to put out Of business any party
that they chose to oppose. and the
opinion expressed was that women.
whatever might be their powers in
theory. would not attempt anything of
this sort, but would vote about as
men vote, dividing IN various ques-
tons as sthe men now divide. The
Pembina Pioneer Express adds this
comment:
THE Times has put the whole ques-
ton Of women suffrage in q nutshell.
, II women are to vote only as women,
then they should not vote at all. Any
argument in reference to wome suf-
fraee based on sex alone must assume
| that in this regard women is the weak
or vessel. Any argument in favor Of
women suffrage to he effectual must
nrst chow the equality of men and wo-
men. otherwise the privilege of suf-
ffage to women would only mean a
continual political war between the
sexes.
Blu IL the women are to divide on
political questions as do the men, what
difference will the privilege make in
the government. or to the women, ex-
cept to add additional duties and re-
sponeibilities to the latter?
"But they are going to vote just the
same"
The Times agrees with its neighbor
that the IN are going to vote. That
seems to be in the air. In state after
state full OF partial franchise has been
conferred on women. and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the number
of states in which women vote will
grow until all are included. 1t is pos
sible that there will come a sudden
change in the trend Of things. but we
do 20 look for 1t. And. when all the
women vote we expect to see the coun-
try governed about as 1t is now- lit
tie better. W. hope. for there IL evil

ment-but we have no hope Of the

When Harriet Fletcher announced
that she was going to marry Frank
Marvin all Westmore protested. for
Frank Marvin vas considered a
spendthrift. Moreover. he was OF a
line of people who had never saved.
Wilful and wicked waste followed
by distressing want was the chief
incident in the history of the Mar
Wins. Everybody knew that history,
Frank best of all. vet it seemed nc
had no wish To profit by it. He earned
with one hand and spent with the
other. with the result that both were
always empty. Harriet certainly
knew better than Il marry him. Yet
since she would. there seemed moth
ing left but to rue her mistake.
Harriet Fletcher had a little Scotch
blood in her which told in her fair
ness. her ruddincss. her wholesome
soundness of heart and morals. She
was rs and she gave every indication
Of knowing her mind. She loved
Frank. and she was very tired of
running at the heck and call of an Odd
aunt who pretended to mother her.
