In our daily edition we lose no opportunity of furthering the interests of the com munity and the district, as you, your selves well know. It is to bring to bear the most potent influence at our command that we issue annually a magazine devoted to the development and exploitation of Seward peninsula, known as the Mining Edition. You have all at some time read this publi- cation and know that it contains full and accurate information concerning the mineral resources, the industries, and the development needs of the dis trict. No feature of the country is nn 1irA hot hA character of the Magazine makes it a most valuable advertising medium to the outside world. Furthermore it is the only publication devoted exclu- sively to the dissemination of knowl- edge concerning Seward peninsula and what it contains.
 Now, we feel that you know what we are driving at, so why not sit down now and fill out the subscription blank in this issue and help to promote the good work that we are doing for the country and yourself by sending in your subscription for the Magazine. Send them where they will benefit the country. If you can't use a dozen, subscribe for half dozen; if you can't use d half dozen take one.
 Every subscription received now means that much more toward en- abling us to produce a better and big ger Magazine.
 A better and bigger Magazine means more publicity for the district in which you are interested. More publicity means faster progress in development and faster development means more dollars for you.
 So you see that by helping us now you will be helping yourself in the future. While we are at it, we want to say a few words to the merchants of Nome. There is going to be big business for you in this section in the future. How soon it will develop de- bends a great deal on how soon you are willing to develop it. If you are alive to the possibilities of the mining and other industries of this section you should be willing to assist any project that will tend to further it's interests. You will put you shoulder to the wheel and assist any movement for the betterment of conditions in the district and the development of it's latent resources.
 However you cannot do it by set ting back and waiting. Get together with the mining men and others who are striving to do something for the country and work with them for de- velopment. We need roads, a harbor and half dozen other things and they will not come unless you get in and nd your assistance by boosting or helping others to do so. Any outlay oftime or money that you may make at the present time will undoubtedly return to you tenfold in the future.
