nJTCH UNDER CONSTRUCTION FROM BOULDER TO
 SHEPHERD CREEK

D. Protopapas. representing the Alaska Hellenic Mining Co.,. is con structing a hydraulic ditch from the mouth of Boulder creek, tributary of Snake River to the Boring Sea below Sunset.
 Beginning at Boulder creek the ditch will follow the contour Of the hills to Shepherd creek from which point the water will be conducted in large pipes to the Boring sea boach where a cut will be ground sluiced to the hills. thereby opening the ground for further hydraulic mining.
 According to MT. Protopapas nex' wear will see the ditch constructed as far as Sunset. At present five men and four horse team are worS ing on the project. Boulder creef will furnish 15.000 miners inches of water for the proposed minins operations. A large intake will bt placed in Snake river and so furnish an adequate supply of water for al mining purposes.
 MT. Protopapas also has crew of men employed drilling the Shep herd and Sunset creek properties The project contemplated will en able the Shepherd and Sunset creel properties being given chance tt be successfully and economical! mined. Heretofore the great hand icap in that mining section has beer the lack of sufficient water.

GRAND JURY MAKES ITS FINAL REPORT

On July 17th the Federal Grand Jury made it's final report for the immediate session and were excused until such time as the court should deem 1t necessary to again call them into session.
 Pursuant to the usual form the jury submitted it's final report of actions .aken during the iabors of the session and mafe the following return:
 Seven True Bills and four No- True Bills were returned. After an investigation of all Fed era. offices and departments 1t was resolved that new mattresses should he provided for the Federal Ja'l; that the roof of the Jail and Court House should be repaired; that the present quarters assigned for Ctanl Jury deliberations is too small and
 ::oorly ventilated and should be remedied.
 The last recommendation made
 was that the Department of Justice
 should provide ways and means to compensate lawyers for defending indigent prisoners. Of all the true bills returned by the jury all plead 10 funds and the court appointed members of the Nome bar to defend the cases, without compensation. Al 1 all other members of the court are well paid for their services the Jury
 evidently deemed 1t an injustice tc force the various attorneys to wori
 for nothing and so the recommends,
 tion was made to remedy present
 conditions.

 In the evening reception and dance was given in the A. B. Hall. President Ralph Lomen of the Chamber of Commerce. introduced the speaker of the evening Geo. D. Schofield, National Councillor for the Chamber of Commerce.
 Mir. Schofeld confined his speech wholly to the vital needs of Alaska, particularly the specific needs of our community. From Alpha to Ome- ga our needs and wants were pre- scented and when the speaker finish ed nothing more could be presented; 1t was a speech detailing essential demands of Alaskans and from the hearty applause from both the aud fence and visiting officials the points made were pertinent and well re- ceived. Contrary to an objection able custom the speaker refrained from inanities and confined his re- marks to essentials.
 Sec. Huston replied to MT. Scho- field and stated that as he was but small fish in a large pond he and his fellow visitors would. well re- member the recommendations made and would also use their own fac ulties of observation and judgement and make report to their chief. our President, bringing to his attention not only the things omitted but the objectionable commissions as well
 After the speeches were finished the assembly filed before the visitors and became personally introduced and then the dance of the evening was on.
 The A. B. Hall was crowded with interested spectators and lis- teners and when the music swung i,.to a waltz the dance floor was very comfortably filled by whirling coup les who enjoyed themselves until a late hour.
 This morning MT. Huston and party were taken in automobiles to the Hammon Co. operations on Lit tie Creek and will also take dog mobile ride over a short stretch of the Seward Peninsula Railroad.
 At 3:O0 p. m. today the party was regaled with an exhibition of native athletics given at the camp and by the members of the King Island Els kimos beyond the Standard Oil plant.

ILLUSIONS RAY co. WANTS
 NOME AS THEIR BASE

The Hudson's Bay Co. of Londor last year established numerous trad ing posts along the Siberian coas' and in the course of time expect tc encircle the Siberian polar regions in a similar manner as obtains along the Canadian coast. The Hudson's Bay Co. is the largest company of its kind in the world and controls millions
 The Bay Chino. steam vessel of 15OO ton burden, is now in Nome receiving a shipment of coal and trading supplies amounting to ap. proximately 400 tons. These sup. plies are destined for the Hudson's Bay posts in Siberia.
 MT. II. Hoogandyke, from the London office. accompanies the ship and stated that it is the purpose of his company to establish base of supplies in Nome, IF TT IS POSSE BILE TO OBTAIN REASONABLE FREIGHT AND LIGHTERAGE RATES.
 At the present time freight can be carried from Seattle to Honskong for six dollars per ton. while the rate from Seattle to Nome is sixteen dollars plus lighterage charge of from s12.50 to $4O.00 per ton. Such discrepancy forces this com pany to delay its establishment fin Nome, they can not come into this community with their tremendous activities and do business under present existing conditions and as consequence Nome is the loser. If transportation expenses are reduced to reasonable basis the Hudson's Bay Co. will make Nome its distrib- uting point or base for the Siberian posts and also for the Mckenzie river stations. Warehouses will be erected, an office and office force es- tablished and company boat of about 150 tons will be kept in Nome to carry freight and supplies to the stations mentioned.
 The present excessive rates charg- ed for supplies landed in Nome is Fundamentally responsible for the business depression prevailing in Nome. Prospectors can not func- ton, operators refuse to mine and pay all their earnings into the con. CTS of transportation companies. the common every day people of the community suffer thru the general stagnation. Not alone is the Hud- sons Bay Go. discouraged from es- tablishing in Nome, other large trad ing companies are kept from this oigical point of distribution thru conditions that must be remedied or our community is on the rocks.
 The Nome Snake River Harbor is the logical solution, no other relief can be expected. When the Muni- cipal Wharf and Lighterage Com pany is operative freight will be con- signed ships tackle and open to the lowest bidder for lighterage, then and then only can this community escape the present rapacious methods.
 Silence. or subservient policy toward the interests responsible TOT this condition, is disloyal to the host interests of this community Let us face the problem and strip of the garments of policy and suo- terfuge and get down"to the facts Conditions must change; the war IS over and profteering is no longer popular.
