James Swartzell the genial pro- prietor of Nomes' famous hostelry.. is thoroughly convinced that forgetful- ness does not pay, and a retentive memory is an asset of great value.
 The reason for mine hosts cogitations m this regard lie in the. fact that he forgot a most important engagement with Judge Tucker this morning. The judge, being one who. does not cas- fly forget, remembered the obligation of Mir Swartzell and proceeded to fine the latter ten dollars for failing to appear at the proper time. Swart- zell belongs on the jury panel and forgot all about it and, being the sec ond time that he has failed to re. member his duties as juror, the judge decided to tax him in order to relieve his tendency to forgetfulness.

The suggestion that the Nome Chamber of Commerce should apply its energies toward securing mining and land settlement privileges on the ericans is an excellent one but ap- pears to be a trifle belated as it is Der of Commerce has been making ef- forts in this direction for some time. A prominent member of the commer- cial body stated today that the Cham Der of Commerce has already taken in hand the question of American miners being allowed to mine on the Siberian coast with privileges equal to those enjoyed by miners on this side of Bering sea. A communication to this end has long since been addressed to Petrograd and should be in the Rus- sian capital by this time. The Seat le Chamber of Commerce Is also work ing on the proposal to have the coun- try opened up to occupation and min- ing by Americans. Interest in the prospect of possible opening of the known rich territory on the Siberian coast is widespread and there is every indication that, in the event of the Russian government granting min- ing and settlement privileges to Am ericans there will be a vertible exodus from Nome to the farther coast.
