 When informed by tn, Post Office Department of the post ponement in the sch -duled open ing of the bids, Delegate Dimond expressed keen disappointment. AS a tireless worker in Congress for extension and improvement of all mail service in the Terri tory, he has been constantly ac- tive and generally successful in his efforts to extend the delivery of mail by air.
 The Delegate is now working to strengthen the groundwork he started last year to secure an ap- propriation for a loop or feeder airplane mail route to connect with the Juneau-Fairbanks route at Tanacross, which will provide airplane mail service to Cordova, Valdez, Seward and Anchorage.

A HAPPY X
 PROSPEROUS | NEW YEAR

Tonight marks the end of the year 1887 and the beginning to- morrow of 1888 will witness one of the most unusual winters Nome has seen in many years.
 The end of 1887 also marks a point of progress for Nome and the Seward Peninsula, for dur ing the past mining season, this section of Alaska, produced more gold and valuable minerals than for some time past.
 Production of gold has been in creasing steadily every year, and new concerns are yearly opening up both new and old ground,
 Next season, reliable authori- ties indicate, will see many more operators in the field and new dredges, new machinery and new methods of mining introduced here.
 The prospect of profitable oper- ations has increased interest in the Nome camp, and other north ern mining centerS.
 And so it is with further pros perity and progress in sight for l93, that we wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year and the signs are that it will certainly be prosperous one.

and are paid on the same basis. Both
classes are paid the market value Of
their services. Competent directors
are essential 70 the success Of any
business, and they are awfally scarce.
Hence their services have high
value. Common laborers receive rel
atively low compensation solely be-
cause there is great abundance of
common labor.
This same law Of market value
functions in all other spheres of hui
man activity as it functions in BUSH
ness. VIII Rogers received about a
half million dollars a, year for his
services as a comedian while large
numbers of comedians had a hard
time making a living Rogers services
were extremely scarce, and the type OF
service given by other comedians was
plentiful.
The fact that few big lawyers. big
doctors big surgeons. big writer's, big
actors and big preachers receive large
incomes while thousands of ordinary
lawyers. ordinary doctors. ordinary
surgeons. ordinary writer's. ordinary
actors and ordinsry preachers barely
make decent living. does not mean
that there is something wrong with
the Constitution. nor that there is any
sort of unwarranted discrimination
against those who receive small in
comes. The explanation is in the very
obvious fact that the big fellows are
scarce and the little fellows are not.
1t is no redeetiOnon man that he
does notreceire a large income, any
more than 1t Is reflection on water
that it has dittles value The greatest
contributions to- human society often
Gene from men of small income. II is
only the little ignorant fellow who
thinks that the real value of human
life is measured by material income.
The great host OF lawyers. doctors.
singers. writers. small retailers and
preachers who are receiving small in
comes have just as good right as any
other group to combine and "hold up"
those from whom they receive their
incomes. and. by force. compel them
to "come across" with whatever the
outlaw band decides its members
need.
If il Is right for one group to repudi-
ate market values and "hold up" those
from whom they receive their in
ccmes, and force their victims to turn
over to them what they need, then it
is right for every other group to do the
same thing. To accept this very low.
unethical principle means to revert
to the ethics of the jungle.
The principle is not only destruc-
tive to industrial progress, but is de-
structive to the very foundation of
social order.

HERE'S A BALANCE!

Old age pensions have some people
worried They wonder who is going to
pay them. They tell you that, with our
national birth rate declining more than
one-third of our population will be over
fifty years of age in less than fifty years.
1t seems tough but, then, there are
other statistics One says that the popula-
ton of the United States will begin to de-
cline in the next fifteen years. Fifty years
from now, says he, we will have only one
third as many children in the nation as
now.
So what? Merely, that if we have
fewer children to support the nation may
be able to care for its old people.
