EDITORIAL

The Nugget wishes to call the attention of the Chamber of Com merce and the people of Seward Peninsula in general, to an article published in another column, tc House Joint Memorial No. IA, Session Laws of Alaska 1929, passed by the Territorial House and Senate last April. It refers to the subject of coast guard vessel being required to remain al Nome until the last conner c1al ship shall leave this port in the fall of the year. and is a subject which the Nome Nugget has many times advanced and com nented on.
 We are glad that this move has al last been made thru our legis- lature and while the Memorial apparently has no effect this year, H.obabiy due to the fact that the plans of operation of the coast guard vessels in Alaska waters bad been made previous to the passing of the memorial. How ever, we believe that by the local Chamber of Commerce keeping af- ter it and following it up with the reasons and data covering the nu- merous vessels lost besides those being partially wrecked. rendering assistance to vessels unloading late in the fall at Nome when slush ice is running, in order that the people of this community may be able to obtain all their freight consisting principally of winter supplies. It would no doubt be great aid to navigation. and owners of vessels and a comfort tc the crews and passengers as well. to know that coast guard vessel X nearby in case If an emergency
 The Memorial to Congress also asks that coast guard vessels be stationed at certain other import ant places in southwestern Alaska, and we believe that the required assistance will be granted when taken before the proper officials and departments. Owing to the many disasters at sea in recent vn9rS tho oorc If COnUroco ora ever ready to improve conditions, both for the safety of vessels and passengers. This action if grant ed and We think it will be, may also have the effect of lengthen- ing our season of open navigation fo some extent.

PRESIDENT OPTIMISTIC
 AFTER MARKET CRASH

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26, R)-- In spite of ! weeks ruinous ds- cline in security of prices, Hoover is convinced that the general coz dition of American business ts strong and sound. The collapse of the stock market led the news papers to question the chief exc cutiye in his opinion of the situa- tion, but he replied in highly optimistic and reassuring statement that the production and distribu- tion which he considered funda- mental business basis, was pro ceeding of1 a regular base. He pointed out, that although produc- tion and consumption are at high level, average prices have not increased nor has there been any multiplication of stocks. In addf- tion Hoover said that the trend ot wages was upward and that indiv- idual workers and many industries are growing.

DEPUTY MARSHAL CREMER REVIEWS TRIP OUTSIDE

w. E. H. Cremer, the popular U. s. Deputy Marshal under Mar shal Jones of this division, who recently returned to Nome from a round trip to the states with prisoners on the steamer Victoria, gives a graphic account of the trip in his usual interesting style as follows:
 "The general public has taken an active interest in the recent Chas. Franks murder case wherein he was found guilty of the mur- der of Wm. Sparrow at Nome last winter, I wish to add few words at the finis. Chas. D. Jones. the U. s. Marshal and myself took five prisoners to the states, assist ed by extra guards. It was my lot to deliver Chas. Franks who was convicted of murder in the first degree, Frank OKoyha and Frank Evanach, convicted of for gery. to McNeil's Island peniten- tiary. Marshal Jones delivered the insane prisoners at Morningside Sanitarium.
 None of the prisoners gave us any serious trouble enroute from Nome to their destination. A short stop was made at Dutch Harbor where 800 tons of herring were taken aboard our vessel. The day previous to our arrival the Land of Soviets" plane had land cd there and the passengers had plenty of time to inspect the plane.
 On our arrival at Seattle the visibility was very poor, smoke from forest fires combined with fog obscured everything. Here a taxi was pressed into service for safety and the prisoners taken direct from Pier No. ? to the wharf at Stillacoom. Charley Franks was cuffed to myself and upon arrival at Stillacoom, the cuffs were released. Frank at no time gave the guard any trouble. Three minutes after our arrival at McNeil's Island. the prisoners were checked in and, for many dreary days, time will mean noth- ing to them. All the way down Frank acted though he had no care in the world, but when we said goodbye, he gave a deep sigh and his eyes dimmed with tears.
 The Warden at McNeil's showed us the cells and kitchens. the latter seating sos persons at one time. The tables resemble the or dinary school desk. All face to- ward the stage, where band furnishes music None of the in side guards carry guns, it is only the look-outs and guards on the walls that carry them. McNeil's Island is 6 miles long and two and a half miles wide. There are at present 951 prisoners on the island. 1000 hogs are maintain ed for food. and fresh milk in plenty is served the prisoners. Ev- erybody is given some kind of work to do. Baseball is played twice week and movies are shown once a week.
