To the Public:-
 We have just finished stock talk ing, and find that we are heavily overstocked so are making enorm- ous reductions in Hardware-as much as 50%o in certain lines. Not withstanding immense advances out side, especially in Hardware and Metal Goods, we are still selling on the basis of goods purchased the past two or three years.
 We will sell for cash only at these prices, and for limited time, until we bring our stock down to the re. quirements of the Camp.
 If you have an order to be filled, let us figure on it; we can save you money. We have proved it oo others, we can prove it to you.

J. A. Parry the Sawmill king who has been the leading industrial mag nate of Nome's infant industries for some time, will be a passenger to the Outside on the Umatilla. MT. Parry disposed of his interests in the sawmill to Chas Milot for a handsome consideration, and it is back to the farm for him.
 Stove pipe at 25c. joint at Crooks next City Hall.
 Frank O'Connor thinks that the Umatilla will be ready to start out on it's homeward bound trip at an early hour this morning and will rush the passengers on board just as soon as the lighterage company is willing and ready to place them on board. Homeward Bound!
 Why? Because they do the best work, and are the only pioneer tailors in Nome.
 I Andy Olson will work on Jack Blake's ground Center creek during the coming winter. Jack Blake is himself passenger to the Outside on the Victoria. It is also reported that Blake has secured an option on the Korning Association, adjoining the Ment claim. This claim is owned by Dr. Andrews and Mrs. Smith. Dr. Andrews is said to have a 3-4 inter est in the ground. The pay found on the Linda, the Ment and other claims adjoining is supposed to fo1- into the Korning Association. It is low grade.
 Some films and bills sent up on the Victoria for the Code--Clarke Co. got wet on the trip from Se- attle and yesterday William Code had filled the new fire house from top to basement with the bills spread drying out. The bills repre- sent the winters displays for the films which were received. It is un- derstood that if wet films are taken in hand at once and immediately un rolled the damage is negligible, but if they are allowed to dry rolled, they are irreparably ruined.
 Fur garments made and repaired at the Nome Tailoring Go.
 Captain Bayne, the oldest Pacific coast whaler is authority for the statement that this will be the mildest winter and next spring the earliest in several years. He has had a great experience in the navi- gation of these waters and gives it as his personal opinion from every local indication that the ice is not in the Boring Sea, that the Arctic ice is not further south than lati- tude 80 or 75. He does not think that it is further south than 80 deg. North. This will leave plenty of warm water in the Arctic and makes it possible that no Arctic ice at all may come to Nome during the win ter. In any event it will leave the water in the Boring Sea so warm that not more than four feet of shore ice may be expected. In this view Captain Bayne is supported un- knowingly by the statement of the captains of the Belvidere and the Herman, these men reporting that in all their experience they never saw the ice so far north as during this summer they found it. It was so far north that the Belvidere was obliged to give up it's intended wal rus hunting and had to come south shortly after it came in touch with the ice. The Herman saw no sign of any ice from Barrow to Kotzebue while further north it was away in the clear. The, facts as stated by all these master mariners, it is to be hoped, are likely to prove true this winter. Last winter was cold enough an experience.

|0AJ V SOhAhoA NhO hco O 0uS- cessful fishing season at Golovin is back again in Nome for the winter. The Victoria mail, according to a bulletin in the Post Office last night, was still open, but was liable to De closed without any further notice. Elliott and Parsons will mine on Irene creek near the Yellowstone and Kent will probably take out a load of supplies and material for them today if possible. Ben Nygren who has great hopes of his further expanding the white whale industry will be a passenger to the outside.
 William Eddy, Nome's efficient chief of police and Secretary of the Eagles, will in all probability leave for the Outside on one or other of the last boats.
 Bobby Benson, the king of Benson creek, will probably return to Iron creek soon where he will continue prospecting on his ground during the winter.
 
 Clothing cleaned, pressed, altered and repaired at the Nome Tailoring Co.,, Next door to SegerstrOm and Hagen's.
 It is reported that Fred Mebes and H. M. Hanson have bought the ground where Mebes worked last winter on the submarine, and they will operate it this winter.
 
 Ben Gellett will remain in this winter, and take out a dump on the same ground that he has been working on during the summer near the mouth of Center creek.
 So far no returns have yet arrived in Nome from any of the precincts which have yet to be heard from. Bluff will be the first of these to arrive. The contractors have finished work on the approaches to the Snake river bridge At least the assistants come | to the conclusion that their pay stop ped because they took their tools from them.
 The Genevieve which was sent ashore owing to the loss of one propeller has been repaired and last night was ready to take again to the water to finish it's extensive seasons work

 Pat Ivory who has been far from we'll lately but who has considerably | improved, has come to view the call for sunshine and blue skies more than he can withstand, and will therefore be a passenger for the out side on one of the last boats. It Is reported that the men who worked on the Kathleen claim last winter have not had the lease re- newed, and that the ground is like ly to be operated by others during the coming season. Nelson, Ohrem and Brown worked on this ground last winter.

TRAD: OUTLOOK
IN SOUTH IS
BRIGHT
REPORTS COVERING NEARLY EV-
cry LINE OF INDUSTRY SHOWS
HEALTHY CONDITION OF BUS
MESS.


Atlanta, Nov. 3-Reports covering
agriculture and nearly ever other line
Of industry indicate extraordinary
bright prospects for the coming fall
and winter trade While there are
some slight disturbances due to strike
of railway employees in Atlanta and
some other points, the labor conditions
as a whole are satisfactory. Though
the crop season, now drawing to a
close, was productive of short crops
the situation is optomistic in view of
the prevailing high prices, and on the
whole, this should prove to be q pros
porous year for the agricultural COM
munities.
From answers to inquiries submit
ted to bankers and business men in
the district it appears the general
public nor the farming element have
clear understanding of the rural
credit act; and while there is a deep
interest and a feeling that the advan-
ages afforded under this act will tend
to make more stable systems Of bet
ter farming, there is a necessity for
a more liberal education along this
line. The general impression prevails
that the Inauguration of the new sys-
tenn will decrease mortgage rates.,
with an increase in farm lands and
the development of small farms.
Cotton Situation.
Based upon a short crop and esti-
mated large consumption, cotton, the
leading staple of the district, has
PASSED the 1Sc level and there seems
to be no sign of slackening in the de
mand. In view of the reported ad-
vance in the manufactured product
domestic spinners are free purchas-
ers and with large orders on hand the
mills are not inclined to sell further
ahead without keeping up their sup
ply of raw material, and 20-cent cot
ton is freely predicted before another
crop can be marketed. The weather
has been favorable and reports indi-
cate that 70 per cent Of the cotton
has been picked and ginned. With
cotton selling at $50 per bale and cot
ton seed averaging $50 per ton, bring
ing the farmer SLY per bale, they are
Inclined to sell their product and liqui-
date their indebtedness.
The bell weevil damaged the crop
considerably this year due to the July
storm, and wet season following, and
while reports indicate considerable
spread of the weevil, the general i'm
preston prevailing is it may prove a
blessing in disguise if it constrains
the producer to a more liberal diversi-
diversification. Dry weather has pre-
vented the blowing under of the cot
ton stalks to destroy the weevil, but
preparations are being made through
out the district to combate the evil.
The history of the boil weevil north
Of SO 1-3 north latitude indicates that
in normal years no great damage
may be expected, and, although the
heavy rains in July are generally con
ducive to the spread of the weevil,
reports indicate that the pest does
not seem to be thriving in that part
of the district.

Not what we dream, but what we do,
These are the things that shine like

Not as we pray, but as we live,
These are the things that make for
