NOME, ALAskA, JAN. ?. 1914.

There was lots of good cheer float inn around Nome yesterday.
 things commenced to cheer up on the last day of the year and the thermo- meter of joy went higher and higher and higher as ths first day of the new year advanced.
 The whole tone of the town was one H good fellowship and cheerfulness end the right beginning of year which we expect to bring us much of good and of prosperity.
 The clubs and other organizations kept open house and their friends dropped in to extend the compliments .f the season. With all of tho good wishes for happiness and for prosper ity surely those two most excellent rd1uncts to life will be in evidence throughout the year.
 Little clouds in tho way of discour- agement may float across the sky from time to time. but they can Dc pushed away if they are tackled with
 ri.,ht spirit and with the deter raination to win against everya obs taclc.
 Even the handicap of government may In time be overcome and per- hnps before another year has rolled around Nome will be busy quartz camp with plenty of prosperity and enough of influence to have a voice in her own government.
 Everybody looked cheerful and good natured yesterday and it would be a fine thing # the same spirit which was 6. in evidence could continue through. out the entire year. The spirit Of sSiendliness is more in evidence in Al- aslxa than in any other part of the world as 1t Is and that Is one of the .rs things that makes 1t such d. iiehtful place for man to live and work and deveiope. There is the word develope. From every authority that can be obtained the territory ts stiIi in the cradle stage of development nn'' |. is up to every man who is here now to start in the new year knowing thn' the long delayed development is about to start. The more men who believe h the territory and work for the ter rtcry the sooner will the territory be- gin that upward climb that all tho people wise in the resources of the lnnd predict.
 Once the upward trend begins this country wlil continue on the steady march of prosperity and the children os the children of those who are now the pioneers of the land will not see its end.
 Alasks. and Nome. is passing through one staGe of development which must como to every new land. II is thN transition stage between the unknown frontier and the populous land in closs touch with every section

Another great product OF Zanzibar
Is copra, which Is the dried interior Of
the cocoanut. The cocoanut trees
grow throughout the Sultanate with
out cultivation; land Is sold by the
number of cocoanut trees on It. A
tree will yield from 100 to 12O nuts a
year; the crop Is gathered about every
four months.
A distinctive feature of Zanzibar Is
the beautiful carved door seen in
every house. These have generally an
elaborate carved border, with verses
from the Koran introduced. The two
wings Of the doors which are about
four inches thick, are studded with
brass, which gives back the rays of
the brilliant tropical sun.
Approached from the ocean the
town presents a beautiful picture; the
snow-white Arab houses are set
against a background of soft tropical
green; lying close to the shore are
the hundreds Of native dhows with
their quaint sails. while farther out,
In the deep waters, are the foreign
ships. A prominent building on the
waterfront is the palace of the Sultan,
which suggests hotel at one Of our
Atlantic watering places, with its wide
verandas and square lantern. Back
Of the palace are the remains of the
old fort erected by the Portuguese.
and here and there are to be seen the
flags Of the consulates of the various
powers. conspicuous among them be-
ing the Stars and S+rinea.

1t will surprise many to know that
the Sultanate produces perhaps nine
