busy yoicing the belief we know. and strange to say many who are busy spreading this Respondent prophecy are among those whose every interest is tied up with the future welfare and prosperity of the district The ma. iority of our citizens however are, we believe. firmly of the opinion that Nome yet has a future and that time win witness the coming of new and stable condition Of prosperity, and these are looking forward to the com ing summer. not with the belief that they are going to make fortune but that things will at least be better than for the past several seasons. For ourselves. we are firmly convinced that Nome is not dead. that there is yet a marvellous future for Seward peninsula. There are still vast stores of mineral wealth lying in our hills and streams and 1t is believed that time will witness their development.
 It is not expected chat Nome will bloom as 1t did in the earlier days, but 1t is believed that conditions will be much better # there Is nothing here or back of us tha, is worth while; if there is nothing to attract or war rant development if there is nothing to bother ones self about in the hope that 1t may be of benefit then indeed Nome is in a bad way and we had best pack up our duds and vanish to more promising fields But, we do not believe that such is the case. Eur ther. we do not believe that the great majority of our towns people believe it either. for there are many reasons to believe that the loud-voiced pessi- mists are not aware of the true con- diHons and are merely voicing opin- ions bred of their own failures and like the countless host of those who howl calamity in even the most pros porous times are prone to blame their own lack of prosperity on their sur rouudiugs regardless of the fact that where they have failed thousand have succeeded If we may accept the statements of those who employ their energy at some more worthy labor than decrying what they do not themselves enjoy there is stable and prosperous future in front of Nome and time will disclose it. even to those benighted ones who loudly proclaim the contrary.
