Simply A Pleasant Party, SATURDAY., Fist. A. B. HALL
OUTSIDE MAIL ARRIVED FRIDAY

Owing to severe weather along the East coast, the weekly mail failed to reach Nome this week until Friday. The consignment contained no first class, aside from a small quantity of way and Interior Alaska mail. The nonarrival of first class on two oc- casions thus far. despite the govern ment announcement that all mails sent in under the reduced service schedule would include first class matter from the states, is causing much unfavor- able comment which threatens to de- velop into the annual and perennial kick about our rotten mail service. :" The local mail authorities believe that the trouble is due principally to the reduced steamboat service on the Southern coast creating long intervals between the arrival of mails from tEe States at Valdez. As noted in jour nalistfc references recently, it is fre- quently ten days or so between boats. hence on occasion several mails may leave Valdez between arriving ship ments. As the first class matter is probably forwarded on the first mail leaving for the Interior. if any ship ments are forwarded before the scc- ceeding boat arrives they must necos- sarily be made up entirely of sec.nd class matter.

w CARLETON WRITES OF
 OUTSIDE DEVELOPMENTS

Writing from Seattle under date of December 5th to Mayor Holt, our for
 mer fellow citizen F. w. Carleton gives the following observations of things outside and the movements of various Nomeites.
 'l see a great many of the Nome crowd around the town, but many of them have already migrated to the sunny south.' Milot and Andy An- derson left about week ago. G. J. Lomen and his family went this week, also d great many more whose names do not occur to me just now. Nearly all that are foot loose will go before long, as things are very quiet here. and still a'soaring. It is unbeliev- able how things continue to go up and with thousands of men idle all over the country
 They are laying off men in the ship yards every week and by the first of February there will be very few work ing here. In Frisco and Oakland they are still out on strike an the big coal strik" all over the country is crippling business in all lines. The miners will not go back to work for whit the government man. Dr. Gar field, wanted To give them They are holding out for 30 per cent raise in wages. and l think they are entitled to il from all reports.
 Gust (Mcllin) is back in Kansas with his wife. Had Il letter from him and he says it is too cold" for him bac< there, so they are going to Cali fornia soon. hope you arc all well and doing well in Nome this winter. I understand that you have about 20 per cent more people there this winter than last year. So business should be good.
 And still things are soaring up- ward and reports are that by spring it will be much worse. The govern ment seems powerless to stop this pro fiteering business. And yet people here seem to have loads of money. By the way they are crowding into the stores and the prices they are paying, it seems that the only place people squeeze" their money is when they come back to Nome. Then they hag- gle and chew the rag about prices. Out here they just hand over their purse and no questions asked.
 old Christmas will soon be here again and I wish you all in Nome a good time. We are all well and l am feeling better now than l have for l year. Give my regards to all friends.

Ptarmigan are plentiful few miles back of town. but are so wary that tie prospective hunter has his work cut out for him to get within shooting range. according to Harold Nelson of tfe Coast Guard. who returned to town Thursday after ten day vaca- Warwick and another companion spent the outing period in the upper Nome river section. residing during the interval in the ditch cabin at Cape Horn. Large bands of ptarmigan were frequently seen on the surround ing hillsides. he says. but 1t was prac- tically impossible to get close to them On becoming alarmed. the birds sell dom stopped flying until out of sight, contrary to their usual habit of flying but short distance before settling down. MT. Nelson expresses the opinion that their unusual timidity is due largely to the constant harrying of
 
 the foxes. which are very numerous this winter. Fox tracks were seen during their stay but none of the ami malls came into view. few rab- bits were sighted but the hbnters were out of luck, as they had 10 rife and the animals took care to teep out of range of short distance aims.

OPPOSE LAKES WATERWAY
ShipbuiIders Declare Vessels Could
Not Navieatet Great Lakes.
Associated Press DlSpatch.


Buffalo. N. Y, June 15.-Opponents
of the proposed water route from the
Great Lakes to the Atlantic by way of
the Welland canal and the st. Law
renee river. had another hearing to-
day before the joint commission on
international boundary waters.
ShipbuilderS, shippers and men who
have to do with harbor works, de-
clared that the average ocean going
boat could not navigated the Great
Lakes until rivers, harbors. canals
and slips had been deepened at cost
equal to, if not exceeding the pro-
posed outlay for the st. Lawrence
outlet.
Hugh Kennedy of Rogers Brown
and Company, Great Lakes shipbuild-
ers, declared that even if it were pos
sible for ocean vessels to navigate
the Great Lakes, they could not COM
pete with the 10000 ton barge be-
cause of higher cost of operation,
maintenance and investment.
Mr.. Kennedy said the average depth
of water at Great Lakes docks was
twenty feet, and Murray Hulburt,
dock missioner Of New York said
the average draft Of cargo vessels
entering New York harbor Was thirty
feet. .-'
The figures given by Mr. Kennedy
and Mr. Hulburt were in reply to
Senator Clark, a member of the COM
mission. who estimated that eighty
per cent of ocean ships could sail the
Great Lakes.
