 They are, therefore, worthy of the support of each and every person and all should contribute toward their success as far as they are able. The members of the chamber of commerce are laboring for the welfare of every man, women and child in Nome and the adjacent territory and it is the plain duty of every one to share the burden as well as the benefits of their efforts, when ever possible, either by lending a grateful encouragement or by becoming a member of the or ganization, and thus contribut- ing to its financial support.

TUESDAY, MAY I6, 1916.

The Nome Chamber of Com merce has instituted a campaign to secure additional members to assist in the benehcent task of promoting the present and future welfare of Nome and Seward peninsula.
 Needless to say, this move ment is one that should receive the full support of every person in the district who is in posi- to help in bringing to successful development the various projects on which that body is now en- gagged. The merchant and min ing operator particularly, should give a ready response to the ef- fort of the organization to com bine the various business inter ests of this section into a single representative body for the pur pose of encouraging and assist ing in the development of the latent possibilities of the district.
 Further, it may be said that the movement should not be con fined to the business interests but should also receive the sup port of every property owner or other person who has the slight est intention of remaining in this

section of. Alaska. It matters not if the contemplated period Of res idence does not extend beyond the present year it is still man ifest duty to lend whatever as sistance is possible.
 The intention to go elsewhere has at all times been a ready source of excuse for those who wished to avoid responsibility in matters concerning the welfare of the community and it is high time such evasion was condemned and discouraged whenever mani fested. Every one expects to get away sooner or later so this should not legitimate excuse. Also it may be said those who have fared so well that they are able to contemplate an early de parture manifestly owe some thing to the country that has treated them so we'll and there is no better way to discharge the the debt than by assisting in such measures as will benefit those who are not so fortunate.
 Regardless of whether one is going this year or the next, good citizenship demands something more than passive interest in measures affecting the welfare of the community. Those who have no prospect of leaving for an indefinite period need no admon- ition concerning their duty in this respect as they should read
 fly appreciate that in assisting the chamber of commerce they will be encouraging their own future interest and the prospects of their children. There is really no logical excuse to be offered for withholding assistance and every business man, mining opp orator and property owner should join hands in bringing the
 various undertakings of the chamber of commerce to a sue cesful conclusion.
 It will be appreciated by all who stop to consider that the mature development of any one of the numerous projects with which that body is concerning it self will have a marked influence on both the present and future of the community and district With one or two exceptions, each and every one of the yari- ous projects in which the organ ization is interested promise either an increase or saving in the income of every inhabitant of the peninsula. The development of good roads, and the construc- tion ot a Snake river harbor promise substantial decrease in the expense of mining operation and a resultant benefit to every one. Both are projects which alone offer adequate reward for any effort which may be taken to secure them. These are the principal fatures of the chamber of commerce program. In addi- ton the body is also working on a dozen or more projects of equal importance to the pocket books of the residents of the district.

JUDGE CLEANERS GUN.

Judge John S. Cleaver returned
home Saturday from a visit at Mexico
Farber, Bowling Green, frankfort
and New London. While at Farber
he visited w. S. Biggs, who present
ed him with a blunderbuss, an odd
relic of the early age. Last summer
a couple of little girls, while picking
blackberries on Mr.. Biggs' farm
found the relic. 1t is thought by pio-
neer citizens the blunderbuss was
lost by the Spaniards while explor-
ing this country back in the early
part of the 18th century. The barrel
of the weapon is something like s
inches long with a large bore-in
fact it is bell-shaped, and history
tell us pebbles and slugs were used
in place of bullets. The barrel is
supposed to be made of brass. The
stock was entirely rotted of. The
flint rock used instead of the mod
ern cap was still intact. The barrel
was nicely carved. The Judge prizes
the gift very highly. 1t is quite a
curiosity.-Perry Enterprise.
The Message referred to Judge
Cleaver's gun recently. There is one
error in the above. The gun is not
bell-shaped at the end. We handled
the weapon and know. We don't
think it ever shot any pebbles, but
we wouldn't want to stand in front
of it and face a discharge of lead.

F. L. Crosby, south of Mexico, had
16 head of 1306-pound steers on the
st. Louis market last Thursday that
sold at 50, the top price for the day.
The Live Stock Reporter says that
the cattle were started on feed of
corn, cottonseed cake and clover hay
about the middle of October. They
were full fed for 5 months, during
which time they made very good
gains and were in excellent market
ing condition. The shipper, who is
one of Audrain county's most sue
cessful stockman, is not only an ex-
tensive cattle feeder, but also de-
votes great deal of his time to the
breeding of horses. He is a good au-
thority on the situation and has quite
often carried off the honors, with his
stock.
