CAMP Funston, Kas., Sept. %, 1917.
DEAR Mr. FINK -
Am returning unused meal tickets,
ETC., in the official envelope. We were
certainly treated like princes from the
time we struck Custer until We landed
here last night at 1890. The buildings
here where the Dakota fellows are, are
new but the equipment is good, separate
iron beds, springs, mattresses and wool
en- blankets.
We got into Lincoln about one o'clock
and left at three There were about FAC
of us from Lincoln into the Camp, and
there will be about 10000 here when
they all get here, so we were told. The
fellows all came through in fine shape
and seem to be breaking in o. X. They
all talked OF the fine treatment received
all along the way. In behalf of the Gus
ter county boys ! certainly want to ex-
press our thanks and appreciations for
what all you Custer people did for us

WHAT you MAKE IT.

Every day is what each person makes
it and that is the secret of what are
known as good days and bad days. If
you get up in the morning with surly
temper, nursing crouch or with dis
couraged feeling you will surely have a
bad day. The proper way is to get up
with the determination to make the best
possible of every day, to regard each day
as a life and to make that life just what
true man should make it. Remember
that good example or a cheerful and
helpful disposition have done more to
reform the world than all the discipline
of law, courts and penitentiaries.

without danger to American institu- tions few would agree. The argument
 that the small number of Japanese now in California are much of a men ace to the American stock is not so well founded, but if soberly presented
 it is entitled to a respectful hearing.
 But the bounds of reason are left far behind when it is asserted that the
 statesmen of Japan up to their ears

 doors, are engaged in a plot to assimi- late State five or six thousand miles

 and articles to show that the United

 the Pacific: and to prove the case point at Hawaii. Guam and the Philippines.
 Japanese writers, no doubt, accuse the
 Japanese public of being too trustful, too fond of comfort, too much absorbed in the tea-drnking ceremony. the
 cherry festival. and the fcasts of lam , terms, and consequently dead to the American menace. In truth, there are no great plotters who can arrange the affairs of nations for decades ahead. !

WAYS THAT ARE DARK

At a rather unfortunate time for his purposes Montaville Flowers. a Cali. fornia writer, has published a volume in which he lays bare what he calls The Japanese Conquest of American opinion" Every attempt to bring about q better understanding between Inc two nations, whether made by Jap- aucsc of by Americans. he character izcs as an aid to his conspiracy; every rational plan for solution of the racial
 problems presented by the Japanese alrcady here. every suggestion for more cordial relations between the two governments, he views as manifesto ,ion of a trc1cherous design. The Jap. .tncs". as ho sees them, are wantonly Hur., ous, aggressive nd willy beyond belief, while Americans are good na- turr'. ftir- minded and ], suapciou l., the point of weakness. While we have been ignoring the Japanese. or dislik- ing them only in a mild way, or even liking some of them. the Japanese have been studying us with cold analytical eyes. We are sentimental" It is jottcd down in a Japanese note book. "Th" idea Of equality is an American fetich." Down that goes also in Oli- cntal characters, to be forwarded by devious ways to hidden chambers in Tokio where slant-eycd Hurokis sit aud scheme. Back to Japan, too, goes the surprising information that the American people are intensely local" that they are careless of the welfare of the next generation" that they are totally defenselcss against all appeals to religious sentiment" that they have a childish faith in equal rights" per sonal liberty universal brotherhood" and the like sentiments, and these things are made the basis for no less a design than the complete Oricntali- Zation of the Pacific coast

MINING AND DREDGING
 EDITION POSTPONED

In answer to numerous inqull1es re- tion the Mining and Dredging Edition, the publisher announces that the
 journal will not appear this fall After ! a survey of the situation it has been decided to publish the mag agaZine in the
 Spring shortly before the opening of navigation and this rule will be fol- lowed in issuing all future editides. The great press of business during the
 fall months has at all times rendered
 the task of publishing the magazine
 one of great difficulty. Not only is it
 hard to find time to secure the neGes- sary information but in haste and rush marking the last days of the season
 it is practically impossible to cover the field thoroughly as is dcslrcd. It has been the aim of the publishers at all times to make the maSaZine as full ly comprehensive of the local field as possible, overlooking no item of infor- nation relative to the mining condi- tions and activities of Seward Penin- suia that would be of interest to the public Although attaining a faip de- gree of success in this respect Hi the past, the ma gazine has at all times fallen short of what was desired ow- ing To tue impossbihty of eysdrely covering the field during the latV fall. Under the new plan 1t will be possible to fully accomplish this purpose By issuing in the Spring the publisher will have ample opportunity to thoroughly cover every field of cndcavor and also avoid all inaccuracies due to haste and te absence of time in which to verify the information secured.
 AS in previous years, the Nugget re- quests that readers who possess photos of late mining operations or other views Illustrative of the industries and activities of this section kindly per init their use for illustrative purposes. Views contributed will be carefully preserved and returned to their owners after half tones are made therefrom.
