LARGE CROWD FOLLOW ALICK
 HOI4MSEN TO HIS GRAVE

Funeral services for Alick Holm sen. who dropped dead at Bluff last week. were held Sunday af- ternoon in the Federated Church. Rev R. 2. Newton officiating. The Arctic Brotherhood and the Pio- neers of Alaska, of which he was member. attended in body. and the latter order conducted the rit- uallstic services.
 The funeral procession was one of the longest seen here in long time. and attested the esteem in which he was held by his fellow men.
 After church services the cortege wended it's way to Belmont Point Cemetery where the remains were put in the receiving vault to await more favorable weather conditions for digging a grave in the Pioneer Plot, where he will be buried. His pail bearers were six old timers, as follows: Thos. Gaffney. Felix Brunner and w. E. H. Crea- mer. who represented the Pioneers of Alaska. and Thos. D. Jensen. Wm. A. Oliver and Thos. A.

MANY INVOKE PROVISIONS
 OF PROSPElTORS' AID

| Many prospectors have taken ad- vantage of the benefits of the Pros pectors Aid Bill. passed by the last Legislature. About ten applications are being forwarded on this mail. The Publisher of the Nugget. who is the local commissioner appointed to take charge of this work. is firm ly convinced from the character and standing of the applicants as min ing men. that some good will result from the operation of the Act. Quite few of them are going into localities away from the beaten trail, which. If the costs of transpor- tation had to be incurred by the prospector. would preclude the av- craze prospector from tackling the job.
 The Act should have a fair test so that the next Legislature may be guided as to the future benefit of the expenditure to the Territory.
 There is no part of Alaska today where the chances for the individual prospector Is better than on Seward Peninsula; no filter place to give 1t an honest trial. Now that the days are getting long. and the wea- ther conditions invariably favorable, more prospectors should take advan- tage of the benefits of the Act. There is nothing technical in the provisions of the measure. A pros pector who prospects and develops mining property can be assisted. in the vicinity of Nome, for his trans portation; equally so with men go ing to outlying sections: although the expense close to Nome for nov ing supplies. would undoubtedly be much smaller.
 It is indisputable that many fall- ures will ensue. no matter how earnestly and honestly prospectors may labor, but one piece of paying property to an individual or two, would more than compensate for the i'll luck of the others. As stat ed before, let there be an awaken ing. The publisher of this paper is giving his time and some little expense to the furtherance of a project, which has been establish ed, in the hope that prospecting may be encouraged. and trusts that every bona hde prospector. if he chooses. will not remain idle on account of the transportation expense. which is often quite an item.

LINCOLN SHRINE
FUND CAMP AICN
LAUNCHED HERE
$50 Workers Start Drive to
Raise City's Share in
Stale Quota.

One hundred and fifty workers
today launched the Indianapolis
campaign for the city's share in the
$1,2565,000 fund for the national
shrine to be built at the grave of
Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of
Abraham Lincoln, ir Spencer
County, Indiana.
A seven-day drive for funds is
planned, but if the States quota is
not reached the drive will be con-
tinued until the necessary amount
Is subscribed.
Workers have been divided into
five regiments, and each regiment
into five companies, composed of a
captain and five workers each. Com
panies will report progress made
each evening, except Wednesday, at
the headquarters of the drive, the
Chateau room Of the Claypool
George Lundy is the Indianapolis
director of the drive.
Final plans for the launching of
the campaign we're completed at a
dinner at the Chateau room Mon
day night.
Two hundred fifty members of the
campaign group, and the Lincoln
Union, sponsors of the movement,
attended the dinner and heard DR..
Louis A. Warren, director of the
Lincoln Historical Research Fouh-
dation Of the Lincoln National Life
Insurance Company, FIT. Wayne.
Dr. Warren described the life OF
Lincoln in pioneer Indiana during
the formative period of his youth.
Lincoln spent fourteen years, from
his seventh to his twenty-first year,
in the State.
Indiana rightfully may be
ashamed because it has not taken
previous steps to immortalize Lin
coin and his mother" Warren de-
clared. when other States in which
he spent a part of his life, and
many which he did not even see,
have spent thousands of dollars in
memorializing him. Kentucky has
spent $1,0OO,00O Illinois nearly ST.
100000, and the Government has
spent 100000 in the national Lin
coin shrine at Washington.
THE money spent on these me-
MORALS is we'll worth while. They
are a visible token of the worth of
character, of the high ideals of men
like Lincoln, which will make a deep
impression on the thousands of
young people who annually will visit
them"
