:, Considering the surrounding unset
ting influences the local stocks stood up
remarkably well In today's market,
lhere was not the first sign of real
weakness to be found in any part OF
the list. Several of the high priced
specialties declined rather sharply. This
was to be expected in view Of the re-

shares, and emphasized the narrowness
OF the market rather than rejecting any
great amount of selling.

wonder to the street.
IL would seem to indicate that the
buying of both issues was of much more
substantial character than had been
sunoosed: If the movement in either
had purely a specul ative basis, the cop
ea ules already taken in the

These prices, of course, are considerably

accounts these declines, it would be
safe to say, might have reached much
more serious proportions, especially If

At meeting of the Directors of the Nome Chamber of Commerce, reports of the sub committees regarding mat ters which had been placed in their hands were handed in. The commit tee on transportation made some val uable suggestions regarding the de- velopment of this district thru changes in the present transportation system, .-.. .fo,,e.,.,
 It was recommended that telegrams be sent to the Chamber of Commerce of all important Alaskan cities to ask for their cooperation to obtain cheap CT transportation rates from the Steamship lines at present doing bus iness in Alaska and if this should be impossible to obtain to jointly use every effort to have the government take over all transportation. It was further recommended that later on a committee of five men composed of persons living in the States but who are chiefly interested in the develop ment of Alaska should be appointed to work in conjunction with the local Chamber of Commerce to carry out the future plans of the organization. The committee is of the opinion that solving the transportation problem will be of the utmost benefit to Alas ka, as it is at present its greatest drawback. 1.-The committee on mails and telegraphs, was instructed to in- vestigate the possibility of having the Nome, Teller telephone line, which has been out of commission for number of yeaPs repaired. The com mittee will make every effort to se- cure mail exchange and wireless communication with Siberia. D Fl Crowley was appointed to look into the matter of securing aerial mail ser vice and aerial commercial facilities.
 The Chamber also requested the public to loan to the Chamber photos and views of mining operations in this district for publication in an illus trated pamphlet, descriptive of the resources of this district which the chamber is going to issue next sum- mer.

Thos- McGann spoke on Roosevelts early life and was followed by Attorney Fred Harrison who, in scholarly ad- dress emphasized his qualities as a statesman. Four small pupils of Nomes public, school were heartily applauded for recitation. Mayor C.. ]. Lomen whose theme of add 'ess was Roosevelt as Soldier and War rior" showed the remarkable qualities possessed by Colonel Roosevelt, which were mainly h,st,, mental in the U F. ted States taking foremost rank among the great Icwers.

Here Is the story of how an ingenious mother
taught her little to read before he could talk
or walk properly, Although not three, he can
now read with accuracy and ease, yet normal
baby In fact any boy or girl could be similarly
taught.
In this particular case the child began to notice
the larger headlines in newspapers and to ask in
baby language what they were. The letter 81 was
pointed out to him, and for time he was content
to look for this. Next his mother taught him r
and A, these being selected sufficiently differ
aent from HI to avoid confusion. The idea Of the
letters was thus grasped, and it was easy teach
the boy the entire remaining alphabet.
Then his mother began to print letters for him,
when he asked for pictures on pieces of paper.
The letters in words suited to his experience such
as "horse" and dog" Sometimes he tried to
draw the letters himself, achieving quite credit
A, f, r, and q.
Gradually small letters instead of capitals were
drawn for the words he recognized, and soon he
know that dog and DOG" meant the same.
Small cards were used instead Of bits of paper,
the words being drawn at the top. Thus step by
step. he was taught the appearance of words and
letters until one day his mother took him on her,
lap and read a simple story to him, pointing to
each word the appearance of which had already
been impressed ON his mind by the card system.
This reading was continued for some time,
Then one evening his mother said, you read
story to father" and the boy, pronouncing each
word without error, slowly, and with proper into
nation, read six lines of simple words without
mistake
