The trip to the city was made in a motorboat. which was met by the T!olderness ambulance, in which Mrs. Laster was carried to the hospital. Mrs. Laster's condition upon her ar rival was so serious that no hope for her recovery was held out, and she survived only few hours.

City Ofiieiai Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 24, 1915

The announcement that the General Staff has prepared plans looking to vast increase in the military forces will doubtless cause some considerable relief to those to whom the phrase love of country" is not merely sounding
 words While it is quite possible that the chief executive may place his ban upon the whole scheme, as at present laid out, the development is bound to have some effective result and we may thus confidently expect to see the coun- try. at no far distant date, provided with military equipment of at least far greater efficiency than is possessed at the present time. The deplorable lack of troops and war munitions fitted to meett he most triffling emergency, while long a matter of common know ledge. has been further disclosed by the recent outbreaks along the border and several significant developments in connection with the late disturbances in that quarter have revealed a most pitiful and hitherto unguessed weak ness. It is incredible that a country of the size and wealth of the United States should be compelled at the first sign of a threatened danger to cry that there were not sufficient available troops to meet even such a trifling emergency as appeared to be developing in connection with the Mexican situa-
 tion and it is totally discreditable to those whose duty 1t is to keep the
 country in a condition of security, that they have been so misguided or negli-
 gent that no more than twenty five thousand trained fighting men could be made immediately available for the na-
 tional defense. in case of a sudden
 necessity. In the light of what each
 day is clearly disclosing We can see
 that safety lies in strength alone and
 preparation is the only safeguard
 against national destruction. The les
 sons of the European war are sufficient ly clear that all may see and realize that the nation that is weak cannot hope to survive, save through the suf l ferance of it's mightier neighbors, and treaties, promises and prayers cannot save it when it's existence is bar to

The growing confidence that Amer
 lca is not, after all, to be dragged into
 tne war is having good effect on a
 national business that is constantly in
 enormous and sudden increase of trade
 is the danger to shipping imposed
 through Germany's submarine opera tions. Notwithstanding this, however, our Atlantic trade is doing fairly well, and on the Pacific, remote from war operations, commerce is growing by by leaps. Further, the investment of idle funds in local activities is en- by the cessation of public eX- citement over war possibilities. It is an encouraging word that the First National bank of Seattle send out to its customers. Orders on hand and unified for American goods, supplies and commodities are estimated to total one and one-half billions of dollars, and the tide of foreign demand is but just beginning to be felt in many lines be- yond our capacity, whichlis being grad ually increased. All of this will en- courage domestic demands and strengthen every avenue of domestic trade. Agriculture is a large element of prosperity through the large prices for grain commodities and the liberal crops of 1914. For this reason the Cen tral West is a particularly bright spot in the business horizon. Prospects are frightened also by the flattering pro- misses of a larger crop than last year Continued attention to the business on hand and a soft pedaling on wars alarums will improve present conditions and place us in very much better than normal enjoyment of trade-Post-In telligencer

The lamentable and most shameful feature of the war situation is the fact that we must rely upon foreign nations for our ocean carriers. One might think that a nation of 100. .o00, 900 people, with unlimited resources of wealth. might provide themselves with ships to carry their. ocean trade, but the fact is We have no more than bare showing of ocean carriers. If there is any pur- pose. any energy and pride of perform ance. even the ordinary intelligence of self-protection, left in the halls of con- gress. it should be exerted toward the purpose of restoring the American flag to the sea. A nation whose commercial life depends upon the retention and extension of its trade cannot afford to depend upon commercial rivals for it's transportation, which in an emergency may be withheld or crippled, as in the present crisis. This is the fault of the existing situation and the cause of the warning of the German government. Our shipping laws are ineffective and
 have resulted only in decreasing the
 number of ships that carry our flag. lt
 is deadly wrong against this nation
 and its people that the shipping problem has not been taken up by congress an6 handled in an adequate and intelligent
 way. We travel today only on the suf- ferance of foreign nations, and If i please them that we. with our goods
 shall remain at home. why. at home we shall stay.-Ex.

A Mir Drayton who recently started a campaign in Seward against the new dances has had a remarkable hunting experience with another man, who is also a chechako. Both of them left for Anchorage some time ago overland. At the Johnston roadhouse at Mile Six they went hunting and a short distance from the house they espied a young bear climbing a tree One of the men, either Drayton or his friend, decided to follow and soon the bear was forced to the very top with the hunter beneath him. At that elevation the tree was very weak and the hunter decided to poke the bear down with a limb, which he did and the bear fell right into his arms. Like a man dancing the bunny hug he clambered down with the bear closely pressed to his breast and when he reached the roadhouse the people there removed the bear with great effort and also extracted just twenty two quills from the hunters chest.
