armies received reinforcements but the

The furious nature OF the conflict
can be gathered from the fact that In

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 1s. 1s14.

Can there bc any doubt In regarl to the awakening of Nome along with the awakening of the rest of the ter ritory: Most certa inly not. What Is the meaning of this practically ns- sured survey for a harbor at the mouth of Snake river. In the first place 1t means that the harbor will bs built, fer the government will not spend fifty thousand dollars on q survey unless 1t goes through with the proposition if the building of the harbor Is practical. md we cll know that 1t is.
 It means that within short time the government survey party will be at work on the coast and 1t means that just as soon as the report can he submitted and approved that an appropriation will be asked for and granted for the purpose of building harbor for the mosquito fleet.
 When this Is completed Nome w::l have safe and easy place in which to discharge. no. only the boats of the mosquito fleet. hut the lighters from the cargo ships. It will mean that this will be the safest and best place to discharge the supplies that are coming in for the country hack of Nome which Is soon to he opened and worked. It will mean that the trade with Siberia will bc vastly in creased and 1t will mean that more ships will enter and leave Nome than have been in the habit of making and clearing from this port.
 It will mean business. Varied and different business and whenever there is business therc is prosperity.
 One business Is not enough to| maintain q town. It should have more than one great interest to depend upon for every business may have Its periods of slump. But with two or three or more interests tho prosper ity of the others will carry place over the period of slump in one.
 Nome has at present nothing defin- Ite In the way of business hut placer mining.
 With the building of the harbor she will become . supply station for other sections of the country. She will become port. Her merchants will furnish the supplies for the new development in quartz and for more development of placer mines Her Idle men will find work on the gov ernment construction or in getting out into tho country which is soon tD become the scene of activity and delvinE into the ground for them selves or for others.
