other paper published in the territory, either daily or weekly. With three or four exceptions none of the papers in Alaska print anything approximating the amount of telegraph news items contained in the columns of the local press and when it is considered that
 for the comparatively diminuti e telc-
 graph service they pay but one half the costs charged to this section of Al Iaska, We are forced to conclude that the Nome papers must be enjoying an almost unequalled prosperity as com
 pared to the majority of those pub lished in other sections. Incidentally i1
 may be remarked that this fact also betokens that Nome must be somewhat
 more prosperous than are the majority of the Alaska towns in which news
 papers are published as the ability of a newspaper to maintain an extensive Telegraph service, without subsidies, is
 q. pendent entirely on the patronage
 extended. Generally speaking the sub
 sa' iption list of the average Ala ska Itper, owing to the limited popn!a ten. rarely suffices to pay more than a small part of the costs of produc- tian and the deficit such as it may be.
 must be supplied from the advertising | received.
 Hence the fact that the newspapers of Nome are able to exist and carry a
 burden of expense double those of the
 majority of the papers published in the
 territory indicates still further that
 Nome is indeed prosperous or the ad vertisers could i'll afford to advertise
 on sufficiently large scael to keep two | papers in existence and prospering un der the most severe conditions.

The town of Mccarthy has been promised a new school, and this has brought up another problem more pug zling to solve. It is the question of a teacher. One faction wants d teacher young and pretty, while the other fac ton wants an equally efficient but homely teacher. old timers pointing to the examples of other mining camps and posts, declare that young and pretty teacher will not be able to stand out the first month. but will sue cumb to the many offers of marriage which it is confidently declared will come from tth susceptible sOurdoughs and lonely miners of the creeks.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 30, 1915.

From information received relative to the difficulties lately arising over the sale of the Alaska Northern rail road, 1t appears that the bone of the contention as 10 who shall receive the purchase price of one million. one hun dred and fifty thousand has its being which are designa ted as preferred" and which are supposed to receive first consideration. As these claims total the sum of one million dollars, or the greater part of the purchase price and leave only the small sum of one hun dred and fifty thousand for those who are the holders of the ordinary bonds and who have invested no less than one million In cash in the enterprise, il Is not surprising that they are pre- pairing to start trouble. II is the old case of the big fellows having the in side track and the little fellows getting squeezed. It appears that the ma jor- IlS oI lHtSt pteItTTeu are lne ones controlled by the Canadian bank syndicate with which the government has directly dealt in the purchase nego- tiations and under the agreements in cident to the taking over of the AL aska Central by the Alaska Northern, are to receive first consideration re- gardless of the claims of those who as- sisted in the reha biltations of the road by advancing one million dollars after the transfer was consummated In other words these preferred claims are to be paid before the bond holders re- ceive one cent of the one million they have advanced to the road and to car ry on the receivership prior to the talk ing over by the Alaska Northern. Dur ing the years following the transfer the bondholders have not received a cent of return on the money invested and now that their last opportunity to real ize on their expenditure is presenting itself, they are not inclined to be left out in the cold The suits recently stated are therefore natural protest against taking one hundred and fifty thousand as n suitable return for their money

over the proposal to make Seward the capital. They even go to the lengths of saving insulting things to Seward people who happen to visit their city. This hardly looks as though they are inclined to regard the proposal as such a joke as they pretended to believe it. It is really no joke, but the people of the present capital will gain nothing by making it crime and visiting on its advocates the punishment of crim inals. They may succeed in securing the capital buildings vet and if they do Seward will have nothing to say but what is friendly. Juneau might also fight it's corner without getting mean.-Seward Gateway.

Superintendent Beattie, who recently returned to Juneau from Metlakahtla, where the government has taken over the control of the natives and is build
 ing a large school. says that the eight reindeer which were recently brought from Nome district are doing we'll One of the animals received injuries from which it died during the trip. The other seven were placed in charge of herders and turned loose, with the ex- ception of the lead deer, which was picketed Six of them eluded the vigilance of the herders and escaped They have been seen several times, but ever they will be all right, providing the wolves do not kill them Reindeer moss which was brought in sacks to feed them until they became accli- mated was spurned as food by the deer and they are thriving on the native moss and fodder which grows in abund- anee on the island. They have demon strated that they can thrive on the feed growing on the island and a good in- crease is looked for in the spring.

The newspapers throughout South
 eastern Alaska generally are inclined to take rather pessmistic view of an alleged announcement that the tele- graph and cable tolls to the coast towns of Alaska may be doubled some time during the present summer. At the present time the coast papers are pay ing toll of one cent per word on all banks are paying at the rate of one and one-half cents. Commenting on the reported raise. the Valdez Miner says: If carried into effect, the news papers of Alaska. will be forced to cut down materially the number of words received hs them and incidentally the public will suffer In receiving a less amount of news regarding outside happenings" The article further as- serts that the doubling of the cable {. ils can have but the one result of less news for the public with papers bly man" of the dailias in the territory droppe1 and only We ,klies continued" All of which speaks volumes for the condition of the local newspapers wien it is rememberd that the dail parers of Nome are already paying rate ex- actlv rble that pal by all bus t~

"rhe work was enjoyable. and because of the keen interest felt in the welfare of the different divisions by the representa- tives and senators there was no time for fooling or horseplay. IL was all strictly business, and during the clos ing days of the session the hours were so long that on the way to our rooms We almost met ourselves going to work.
