NATIVE SHOOTS SELF IN LEG

John Apagruk, q native resident of Council, shot himself in the leg with a 22 caliber rife while on a hunting trip in the vicinity of Council City last Sunday. As there is no doctor l., Council at present. the iniured mar was brought to Nome Monday by his trothec. known as Murphy, for treat ment b. Dr. Welch..
 Examination disclosed that the in- jury was not unduly severe. The bul- let had entered the right leg below the knee innicting a small wound. The swelling had all subsided at the time and the bullet was not located. The patient. according to Dr. Welch. ap- pears to be all right and will probably return to Council in few days. According to the story told by the native. the accident was due to care- lessness. The rifle, aY automatic. had been placed on his sled without the prec.atiaa of adjusting the safety catch. He then thr1st a shovel onto the sled and in some manner digchars- ed the weapon.

NOT IN OUR LINE.

The Nugget herewith announces to the public that the report of the legis- l;,turc conference committee relative to the recent alleged 'tnvestigation'' o' the influenza relief expenses of th,s district will not be published by this journal.
 Publication of news that is prnhu- bly false and inju ious c:tn be con doned upon no score of legitimacy and. in;Lsmuch as the F port casts wholly unwarranted and unjustifed asper- sions upon citizens whose character and integrity are above question. the Nugget declines to become in any de- gree a party to their defamation. The decision is prompted by no fear nf ous within the strict meaning of the term. IL is, however. couchrd in terms of cenSur-ible intent which this journal as well us everyone in the commuaty who is conversant with the facts con. nccted With tine flu ep!d mi expenses. knows are. at least in mos, ctses. to- tally undeserved. Common justice 7rd a desire to avoid wantGu injury 10 .hosa who We believe in cu' inH,st being are gu lty of no wrong duing arc the sole motives for with holding publication.
 Viewed from the othe" end Of the territory, some of the tens .n the fin accounts may appear excessive and unwarrlnted. especially wifcnr na r"as- enable effort is made to ascertain their I ,lation to the cond.t'ons which brought them into being. but this does not in any degree justify the array of caluminious charges which the report recl,lessly lays upon this community. Had the committee taken the trouble to secure all the facts before plunging into the mire of condemnation, there This. however. it did not do. Beyond consulting Governor Riggs, who at best possesses no more than a general knowledge of the true facts connected with the relief expenses, and one Dr. D. $. Neuman, who, by reason of per- sona1 incanacity at the time. probably knows very little more than the gov ernor concerning them. the committee made no effort to determine whether the accounts were justitiable or not. No one who was really competent to pass upon the accounts appeared be- fore the committee and not one indi- vidual of the number whose reputa- tions are so ruthlessly tarnished by the comgnittee's alle gations was given the slightest opportunity to justify them selves.
 Rep. O. D. Cochran. who WIS probably more conversant With the facts than any man in Juneau was not called as a witness or. insofar as the report indicates. neither was Rep. Holt. All of which shows beyond dis pute that the committee made little effort to learn the true facts and do justice to those concerned. Rep. Cochran, in an interview printed in the Juneau Empire May |. following publication of the report by that jour nal. empha tically protested against the committee charge that the people of Nome and the Second Division had deliberately set about to reap q imam cial harvest out of the epidemic.
 Tt may be true that certain indi- viduals did profit in excess charges" he declared, but they do not represent the people of the Second Division who are just human beings. good American citizens, who would not stoOp to take advantage of the situation arising ont of the awful epidemic"

Paper Used AS
A Substitute For
Cloth In Germany

Berlin, June 10:-tMaf.)-Neces-
1hty forced central Europe to get along
without its usual supply OF cotton
goods for sa~long that the public has
become accustomed to Ill sorts of
substitutes. and the task OF getting
back the European market for Am
ericanS cotton is>An. extremely didlcult
one while the mark remains at its
low and wildly duetuating value:
What Is true OF the textile markets
In Germany is even true Of
those In, Austria and other war torn
countries which have unfAvorable ex-
change. IN consequences the buying
power OF central Europe Is generally
estimated BY manufacturers Of cotton
goods to be only IS per cent Of what
1t was in normal pre-war times.
Germans have become 50 accus-
toned to the use Of white paper
~tablecloths and napkins that even the
best hotels IN Berlin no longer feel It
necessary to provide linen or cotton
cloths for their tables. Great rolls of
restaurants and. hotels. Walters cut
table lengths from these as required.
The same system is resorted to In
private houses.
( Plenty Of Paper.
Germany has an abundance OF pa
per and the price is low. Textiles are
EXPENSIVE because Of the high price
OF h imported raw materially Laun-
dry work is also expensive. Woven
paper cloth has :. replaced cotton,
wooden and silk fabrics almost. en-
itirely as upholstering and drapery
material in q Furnishings wher-
ever cloth need not be washed or ex-
posed to moisture paper substitutes
are used. Woven paper towels ana
~tablecloths- have been perfected which
a even be washed two or three
times.
Former Postmaster General Albert
Sidney Burleson, accompanied by N.
g, Schlemmer Of Austin, Tex, who
have been here investigating the pos
sibidties Of marketing American cot
ton, have been faced by the foregoing
d~iscouragtng facts.
Thrifty Germans have devised every
possible mea Of avoiding the pur-
chase Of expensive textiles In fami-
lies which formerly had many
changes OF clothing and had the wash
ing done only at long intervals, the
clothing supply has of necessity been
greatly curtailed. Worn articles are
repaired mor carefully than before
the war.
No Big improvements.
CAI1l the VdIue OF the marx ID
great Improvement cannot
be expected in the cotton-consuming
power Of Germany, according to Mr..
Burleson. 1t is the wildly fuctuAting
value Of the mark in relation to the
SOCIETY =.
dollar, rather than. the low compare
tive value. which creates the great
uncertainty among cotton spinners.
Under present conditions they cannot
make any estimates on costs which
will hold good over any considerable
length Of time.
Although American cotton is Of
fered to German manufacturers for
not more than half what it actually
costs to produce the cotton, and in
spite Of the fact that long time Is Of
Tered, In some cases as much as
year.. the manufacturers hesitate to
contract beyond the consuming power
OF their domestic markets Retail
sales are slo*. Consumers are wait
ing for lower retail prices. Conse-
quently there is general .stagnation.
