SELLING BROWN BEAR SKINS

According to the opinion of Gov ernment Attorneys the law makes it crime to sell brown bear skins in Alaska even after they have been manufactured into rugs or other useful commodities. The law seems to have the object in view of re- serving the brown bears for the sport of big game hunters and for exhibition purposes in Eastern mu- seums, etc.
 We have no quarrel with the big game hunters and realizing the advertising value of having Alaska specimens in museums. and else Alaskan has a right under the law to kill his quota of brown bears, and any provision of the law that deprives him of an opportunity to make the most of his kill is not fair. Any animal. game or fur of any class. that is killed within the terms of the law. ought to be the property of the man who takes the animal, and he ought to be per mitted to make the best possible use. to himself. of it. In this as in other things, the market de- mands ought to be the measure of the best use.
 And this leads to another phase: Brown bears are a mf4ace to the development of the Territory, and in those parts of the country where mining. agricultural and other de velopments are in progress. people should be encouraged to kill them. The best way to encourage them to do this service is to make it profit able for them to do so. A good market for brown bear skins is lot better and less costly than to offer bounty for them.
 The absurdity of the law that makes 1t unlawful to sell brown bear skins in Alaska is made so ap- parent that the blind man may see it by the fact that brown bear skins may be sold lawfully in the States.

CITY ELECTION

April 3rd Is the date set for the Municipal Election in the City of Nome this year. when the citizens will be called upon to vote for a mayor. four city councilmen. a city clerk. city attorney. and one mem- Der to the school board. It is hop ed that a number of persons will file for these various offices so that the voters may have an opportun- ity to select the best ones moot fitted for the conducting of the City's business in a business-like way. It is said that Nome may have new mayor in the form Of woman and that other women are being men tioned as candidates for the city council. The Nugget is heartily in favor of the idea of electing women to office, not only in the municipal offices. but Territorial offices within the gift of the voters to elect. It has been proven in other cities that wherever women have been elected to office they have given a good ac count of themselves and their pres ence as office holders or legislators has made moral conditions more what they should be-, in cities and capitols. It is not only the duty every resident of town or city to vote at the city election. but it is the privilege, as we'll as the duty of each to interest himself in trying to get good timber in the field for city officials. as well as territorial officials.

PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE
 FOR PROHIBITION
(Juneau Empire)

Prohibition papers have often contended that the majority of the citizens in 45 States voted for the Prohibition Amendment. That is not true. Endorsement of the Pro- hibition Amendment was forced through the Legislatures of 45 States-and many of them by meth- ods that would make the profess sional lobbyists of the old-time po- litical machines and the Interests" shudder. Intimidation. promises Of reward and threats of defeat and log-rolling were used in the pro cess. In California. Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and other States the vets in the Legislature strove to have the proposed Amendment submitted to the voters. but this was opposed in every instance by the Anti-Saloon League politicians. They would stand for nothing but arbitrary action by the Legislatures themselves. Cowardly and selfish politicians who tn ught only of self aggrandizement. dancing to the mu- sic of the Anti-Saloon League poli tical machine. put the Amendment across, contrary to the will of the people, in enough States to give it it's place in the Constitution. Since that time New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, NewJersey, Montana. Wis consin and half dozen other States have repeatedly voted az ainst Prohibition.

CREW TO STUDY
ICEBERG ORIGIN

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The
birthplace of the icebergs that men
ace trans Atlantic shipping, the
waters between Labrador and
Greenland, will be studied during
the coming summer by an eXpedi-
ton sent out by the United States
Coast Guard. From the observations
made it may be possible more ac-
curately to predict the path of these
bergs, and how and where they
drift.
Already their wanderings as they
pass southwark are fairly we'll
known. This is a result of the In
ternational Ice Patrols regular OBJ
servations since 1912, when the tt
tanic disaster focused the atten-
tion of the world on their danger.
The work to be done this summer is
expected to complete the knowledge
of their history-by furnishing now
unknown facts regarding the condi-
tions at their source.
The expedition will be made in
the Coast Guard vessel Marion. 1t
will be under the command of Lieu
tenant Commander Edward H.
Smith. He has had ten years serv-
ice in the ice patrol work, and is
also trained oceanographer. Lieu
tenant N. G. Nicketts is his first
officer, and he also has had extern
slve experience in the ice patrol.
After April Is, 1912. when the
White Sar liner Titanic struck an
iceberg off the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland and went to the bot
tom with the loss Of 1900 lives, an
international convention for the
safeety of life at sea" was held at
London. From this there resulted
the Ice Patrol of the United States
Coast Guard.
Every March two stanch Coast
Guard vessels sail from Boston to
the ice fields and remain there un-
til the dangerous season is over.
usually about the middle of July.
Twice a day these boats broadcast
by radio to nearby liners the To-
cation of all the ice in the vicinity,
SO that they can head southwark
to safety.
Since the Coast Guard began this
work fourteen years ago only three
lives have been lost by collision of
a ship with ice
over 5000 observations" said
Commander Smith, have been COM
piled during the last ten years by
the ice patrol vessels. The program
has consisted in securing observa-
tionS Of temperature and saltiness
at various depths in various posi-
tions, carefully selected in the dan
ger area. The ocean currents have
been computed from this data in ac-
cordance with mathematical for
mula.

NEW YORK, June 28.-For three

opinion is that there is a stronger

high money rates are temporary and
are confident that a turn for the
better can be expected in the near
future. The more satisfactory state
of affairs may be hastened by an
other reduction in brokers loans,
