ROSS-OLSEN NUPTIALS

| Last Saturday evening. January 14th, at zoo p. m.. at the apart ment of Mir. and Mrs. William Her bert Cameron, in the NJ. & M. Bank Building, Reverend R. z. Newton, of the Nome Federated Church joined together in the Holy Bonds of Matrimony Mir. Victor Ross and Miss Agnes B. Olsen. two of Nome's most popular young people. Miss 1 Olson. by the way, was born and reared in Alaska. The bride and groom were both appropriately at tired for the sacred occasion.
 The bride was attended by Mrs. Cameron and the groom by Mir. Cameron. The apartment was dec orated as befit the occasion and the stage for the happy event had the proper setting.
 The happy couple was entertained at a wonderful wedding dinner by Mir and Mrs. Cameron, following the wedding. The groom asserts that too much cannot be said in praise and compliment of tine we'd ding repast, but grieves that the course of the splendid dinner was interrupted by Young America in waves and hordes, armed with tin pans. cans. bells-oh. just anything that was capable of making a loud. roucous and unharmonious and nerve wracking noise. The gang of young bandits. however, was easily placated and made quiet by cross ing their more or less cleanly hands with sundry pieces of silver, and in a few minutes by larger and noisier band, armed in like manner as the tirst-only more so. These were likewise sent off jingling and rejoicing. The sumptuous repast was speedily resumed. but not for long. as a party of the near friends of both the bride and groom burst happily and noisily in upon them laden with splendid tokens of their warm regards.
 The balance of the evening was happily spent at the Cameron ap- iartment. and the newly-weds were SO to speak, in the embrace of theil friends. In the wee small hours the happy pair took their leave of their host and hostess and depart ed for their cottage On Second Ave Inue. to be met with most start ling surprise. While they had been regaling themselves with all the delectable viands which so delight the inner man tand womanl. and communing with their friends, an other party of their friends had gone to the cottage and had made it veritable shambles. The fur niIure had all been moved and turned upside down. the chairs were found scandalously perched upon bed. couch. dresser and tables and general rough house present. ed itself to the pair; but the writer lopines that it would have taken more than an innocent mussing up Of their home to cloud the roseate perspective of their individual and collective mental horizons that night.
 Both the bride and groom are en- toying ten days vacation from their work to get acquainted, and will be at home to their host of friends shortly.
 The Nugget heartily joins their mauy friends in wishing them a long and sunny voyage across the all too often turbulent sea of life. ending in a peaceful harbor with nothing to cloud the supreme hap piness which they now enjoy.

Every voter in Juneau, male and female and regardless of political affiliations ought to attend the meeting scheduled for the Coliseum Theatre Monday night and hear George B.

 The first step in the right direction will be to hear MT Grgsby, Mir Walker Mir. Shattuck, MT. Anderson, and MT.

Seal Herd Thrives.
Seattle Times.


 The Federal Governments report the con diton of the seal herd in the Pribilof Islands shows the efficacy of the period of conservation with use." Although the number of pelts taken each year has steadily inceased, the number of animals in the herd has multiplied fve-fold since 1910, when control given to the Bureau Iof Fisheries The seal population in 1927 was S0SS7O. It is likely that this years figures will show not less than S50,000.
 The annual pilgrimage of the fur seals to the rocky islands in the Boring Sea is one of the wonders Of the world. For ages they have been going to that particular place. It is esti- mated that fully S5 per cent of all the seals in the world frequent those rookeries The Rus sans discovered the Prbof Islads and their furry inhabitants in 17S6.
 When the United States bought Alaska in 1867 the number of seals variously estimated at beween 2,000,000 and 5000 900. For the first few years there were no restrictions, but to per- petuate the herd it decided to fix the limit at ,000 skins year. This arrangement might have gone on indefinitely had not seal hunters taken up the practice of killing at sea It was extremely wasteful, in that large proportion of the animals not recovered and the killing was carried with no idea of perpetuating the herd
 In 1911 the United States Great Britain Japan and Russia agreed to prohibit pelagic sealing The number of seals at that time was estimated at 132,000. The fact that it has in- creased 500 per cent. in less than two decades encourages the hope that posterty will have Alaskan sealskfn coats. The seal herd is one resource which we have not dissipated.

 That would let the bars down for the Star Route frauds, the Credit Mobolier. Secretary Belknap and the other scandals of the Grant Administration. They are fresher than Boss Tweed It 52 years ago that Gov Tilden who two years before had entered public life on the strength of his previous successful prosecu- tion of Boss Tweed, elected President to sue ceed Gen Grant. His most effective campaign slogan was, Turn the rascals out" The 'ras- cals' were the thieves of the Grant Adminis- tration
 And this dip into history suggests that we might discuss the election frauds which resulted in the theft of the Presidency from Gov. Tilden That is far later news than the Boss Tweed thievery-and the stolen jackpot was of more consequence.
