campaign drew to a close.
Only the three-cornered battle
for the Republican nomination for

wide interest, although local con-
tests added zest to the primaries
in some areas.
AS result, officials forecast a
total vote OF approximately TOO

900 in the primaries two years ago.
City Clerk Thomas d. Leadbet-

The Nome Nugget Suspending Publication

It has never happened before although there is an adage that there is always first time for everything Business conditions loss of population and many other circumstances incident to the war have compelled The Nome Nugget to voluntarily suspend publication for this winter
 The Nome Nugget has been in continuous pubca- ton since the day it was started in the fall of 1899 The title of the paper at that time the Nome Daily Chronicle This paper absorbed in the spring of 1900 by new interests and it's name changed to The Nome Nugget It has passed through many trials and trbulatons-fres, floods, and boycotS-but has never voluntarily been suspended during that time to this
 Failure to receive supplies etc.. high rates and the other many increases in cost of doing business coupled with the fact that Nome is rapidly becoming an armed camp for the purpose of Waglng war have caused the management to consider all available avenues for the continuation of the paper before reaching the concu sion that it must be suspended for the winter.
 In this decision we know that many of our readers and the many business concerns with which do bus will be deprived of what has been for the past forty-tWo years an avenue of common interest n the promotion of the mining and business advantages of Nome and tie Sew ard Peninsula Ne regret that we are compelled to make such decision.
 We have tried to furnish Nome and the Seward Pen insula with the best paper that business would warrant In some days, The Nugget daily in others weekly and for the past five years has been published as ri-weekly The Nugget during its forty-tWo years of existence has supplied this section with the latest and most up-todate telegraphc available. For the past thirty years it has been a member in good stand ne of The Associated Press the worlds largest an1 most competent neWS-gathering organization. The Nugget has also represented the Associated Press in gathering the news, and take pride in our long record of many worldwide stories which originated in northern Alaska and which were transmitted 10 The AP for dissemination throughout the world. We are sorry to have to break long record of representa- ton with this neWS-gathering organization, but the conditions leave other course at this time.
 For the winter months at least there will be fur ther publications. Friday November 27th will be the last issue of The Nome Nugget The up-to-date news paper and job plant of The Nugget will remain here and when conditions permit hope to be able to fur nsh Nome again with paper which will represent the best interests and needs of this section of Alaska

 The genus "Megalonyx" is associated with the Pleis tocene forest fauna of the more southerly regions of North America. Remains of this mammal were first
 
 described by Thomas Jeff erson from a limestone cave in western Virginia. Since then these ground sloths have been encount- cred at a number of Pleis- tocene localities in North America from southern Nuevo Leon, Mexico, to eastern Washington.
