Are Prices Skidding.

The Department of Labor says
that twenty seven out of forty-three
articles going into the family market
basket have decreased in price with
in the month. The same Department
found that ten out of fourteen re-
presentation industries showed a de
crease in the number of employees
last month. Wheat, flour, cotton,
textiles, automobile, leather and even
sugar, has moved downward Most
of the readjustments are arriving
gradually, and there is evidence that
the country is returning to the sani-
ty of normal periods. Many lead
ing manufacturers have reached the
conclusion that they can help in gett-
ing things back to normal by pocket
ing loss on supplies on hand. They
believe that this policy will eventually
work out to their own good, and that
of the country.

which has caused good deal oi
unfavorable comment.
/ Of the caravan of booze runners
on Its way from Milwaukee to Hur-
ley all but two with the exception
OF Chiapusio and the leading car
which went into the ditch after
having passed the federal men 5
barrlcade got through. Peter
Werlich and Gust Castagna, drivers
OF cars said to contain liquor, were
held up at Minocqua by federal
agents, the liquor seized and their
cars held. following which they
were allowed their freedom.
From reports it appears that a
federal agent was mixed up in the
booze running According to the
story of Anton Varda, who occupi-
ed the front seat in the car driven
by Chiapusio and who miraCuously
escaped the bullets fired by the
agents, John +. Filion, prohibition
agent from Marquette, had hand
in the affair, Fiion is said to have
been in Hurley for several days and
it is said framed up deal with
local saloonkeepers to bring the
liquor to Hurley. He purchased
an automobile from Chiapusio on
the day of their departure for the
Cream City, paying S25 90 down
and giving note for the balance,
and, according to Varda, accom-
panied the caravan to Milwaukee,
assisted in the loading of the liquor
into cars and with his car drove in
the caravan on its way to Hurley,
continuing with the outfit until it
reached the barricade on this side
OF Mercer. Itis also alleged that
Filion double crossed the saloon
keepers and knew all the time they
would be held up by prohibition
Press dispatches yesterday an
nounced that John +. Filion had .
been arrested at Marquette, charg /
ed with malfeasance in office and
with smuggling b4 Ior. 1t is
thought that the story of Anton
Varda led the federal authorities
to investigate the charges against
Filion and caused his arrest. He
was arraigned before a United
States commissioner and released
on 81 900 bail. Filion had been
operating in northern Wisconsin
and Michigan under Leo J Grove,
OF Marquette.
1t appears that the names of I
the prohibition agents could not be /
learned and an air of mystery sur. /
rounded the entire affair which the
local authorities were unable to
account for. In order to gain first. /

NUGGETS CONVENTION REPoRTa
 WIN COMMUNICATION

The comprehensive summaries pub- lished daily of the proceedings at he Chicago convention have resulted in the Nugget receiving many pleasing commentators from subscribers dur ing the past day or two. Many persons who seldom visit the office. have ap- peared within the past two days and voiced their praise of the convention news provided.
 Especially because such favors ar decidedly rare in Nome. the NugF feels duly grateful that there are some at least who are apprecdative of its efforts to provide the news.
 In order to give the public fair idea of developments at Chicago. the Nugget has practically doubled the volume of its outside wire service dur ing the convention period. q proceed ing. by the way. that has also doubled the costs of telegraph and correspond ence service during the same period.
 The Nugget is not saven to footing its own horn". but cannot refrain from suggesting that this act of going to double expense to give the public the news should convince some of our "Doubting Thomases" and overly opinionated critics that we are doing our best to fulfill our duty of giving the public news service commensen- ate with the support received.

RUSSIANS MODIFY
 TRADE REGULATIONS

The recent ruling of the Siberian Soviet government representatives re- quiring Nome traders to secure n tral- ing license at Anadyr before engaging in trade adong the Northeast Siberian coast has been modified to the degree that Nome vessels will be permitted to secure the required license at the end instead of the beginning of their first trading trip. Under the new ruling vessels may proceed to any desired point on the Siberian coast and trade at will with the natives or others bu. must call at Anadyr and secure the required permit before returning home. The new ruling is announced in an Anadyr radio message to Gus toms Collector R. W. J. Reed and is the result of recent representations made by Mir. Reed and the Chamber of Commerce regn rding the hardship imposed by earlier Soviet regula:r ms requiring Nome traders to secure d trading permit at Anadyr before en- gazing in traffic with the Russians. Under the previous ruling many local vessels would be unable to participate in the valuable spring trade OH equal terms with the outside traders. Thru being forced to make the extra 2OC mile journey to Anadyr. they would be unable to reach the more nOrtherll trade sections in time to take advan- tage of the most valuable portion of the trading season.

ICE FORCES CHANGE
 IN RIVER CHANNEL

An ice blockade of the entrance to the Snake River harbor channel dur ing the past week resulted in the opening of a new chanf el across the s,udspit a short distance to the wcst- ward of the western revetment con- struction. Heavy masses of ice from the upper river blockading between tn revetments along the lower reaches of the main channel caused the pent up water to suddenly raise some four or five feet. \ low spot in the spit about 100 feet beyond the inner end of the west revetment was speedily inundated and the water started run. ming seaward.
 Within an hour or two deep chan mel had formed across the spit and the released water was running through in q torrent.
 The work of clearing the blocked channel Is continuing under the iirec.
 of Chas. Jones of the Alaska Road Commission. The heavy masses of Ice gorging the space between the cast and west revetment are being broken up with charges of dynamite and the channel Is gradually being cleared. So far as can be observed tho jam has not affected the damaged 1etty and hopes are strong that the structure will escape further injury.

CUTTER BeAR UNDER
 NEW COMMAND

The Coast Guard Cutter Bear, now on her way to Nome, will operate this summer under a new command, Capt. Francis $. Van Boskerck. Capt. Uberoth. who commanded the cutter during the past two years. was trnns- ferred last Spring to the Gulf coast and Is now in command of the cutter Tuscarora. Capt. Van Bosterck is now enroute ot Nome on the steamer Victoria and will probably take com mand of the Bear on arrival here If the Bear reaches port before the com. mercial steamer. If the vessels meet at sea Capt. Van Boskerck will prob ably be transferred to his own ship Immediately. The new commander Is no stranger in Northern waters. Ac. cording to the Coast Guard records he was stationed In Alaska waters for seven months during his earlier ca- reer. Before assigned to the Bear Capt. Van Boskerck held the import. ant 'post of Captain of the port of Philadelphia, a position now occupied by Capt. c. s. Cochtane. who was in command of the Bear for several years before Capt.

OUTER ICE MOVING WESTWARD

Lengthy leads of open water have appeared in the ice pack about four or five miles off shore during the week but there has been no perceptible movement of the shore ice along this section of :ie coast. Observations taken by the Coast Guard and others indicate that t.,c outer ice Is moving steadily and rapidly westward. The shore Ice is rot:ing rapidly ani gives every indication of departing at an early date if given sufficient in pulse by wind or tide aet.on. Prospects are strong however. tl.at the first boats will find fragment of old Beiins g winter overcoat still clinging to the shore when they arrive.

LOCAL NEWS HAPPENINGS
CHAMBER COMMERCE LAUNCHES
 AovERTisiNc CAMPAIGN

An advertising campaign directed by the Chamebrr of Commerce and aimed at exploitation of the resources1 and development needs of the Nome and Seward Peninsula section is launched in the present issue of the Nugget under the caption Develop ment Possibilities of the Nome Dts- trict," printed on the 3rd and 9th pages. The initial article deals with the need for adequate road construc- ton and practiculahy trunk roads covering the interior sections. It will be followed at intervals by others bearing upon the various resources and development possibilities of the district. The Chamber of Commerce will supply the material for these are ticles and the space occupied will be donated by the Nugget without charge. As the object is to advertise the re- sources and development possibilities it is highly desirable that issues con. taining the Chamber articles snall be given the widest circulation possible. Readers of the paper can help the good work along in very material way by mailing copies to their friends in the States. Nome can and will prosper far beyond our most optimis. tic hopes if the enormous resources of the surrounding district are exploited and made productive and the highly desirable result can be achieved only by advertising as broadly as possible What we have to attract the settler and investor. Every one should lend q hand to this effort by sending cop- les wherever there Is prospect Of in- teresting outsiders in what g'e have to offer.
