NOME. ALASKA. SEPT. 26, 1916.
Candidates lor territorial offices are
now launching huge drives along the
iniin Alaskan const. Important move
ments are also being made in the Yu
kon and Tanana sectors. Heavy artil
k ry and machine guns are heard
everywhere, most of the candidates use
both arms. Activity is practically con
tinuous, through eruptions of great
i oiv. signalize some engagements.
The clashes along the various fronts
cannot be kept up. The strain upon
iin leaders is sure to wear them down
soon their numbers will certainly lie
iunit'd ,.t an early date. And, it is
announced, the experts, who are fol
lowing the details of the great move
ment. predict with the utmost confi
dence that the entire campaign will
come to an abrupt end during the first
week m November. !l is not yet cer
tain who will be the victors, all lead
ers claiming the advantage at present.
The Germans are remarkable in
many ways—for their thorough mas
tery of evrything they attempt, for
iheir fertility of resource, and for the
ingenuity with which they adapt
known inventions to serve new pur
poses. not to mention other admirable
• rails. Their adaptation of the sub
marine to purposes of commerce has
been one of the big surprises of the
war. The Beutchlnnd's cruise this
summer is almost certainly* epoch
making. In another field, the air, the
Germans have maintained a fleet of
ships, ilie Zeppelins, which psycholo
gically at least because ot their con
stant menace to Kngiand, has been of
great value to them strategically in
Hu conduct oi Hie war. it seems to
us, though, very unfortunate that Ger
many has telt called on to use the
Zeppelins over a densely crowded city
like London or over any place which
is not occupied by fighting men.
.•should her airships dump thousands
ul pounds of high explosives on places
occupied by enemy soldiers and there
by kill them by the thousands, that
would In ail in the days’ work, what
Hie enemy soldiers expect when they
go forth to war. And no one could
and ground tot criticism. But it does
seem io us wrong to use these mighty
engines against women anil children.
In Sunday night's raid on London
eight women and three children were
killed outright and thirty seven yvo
men and seventeen children were in
jured. Snidi aspects of the war as this
arc really deplorable. And we think,
too that they are doubly unfortunate
because they only serve to rouse
• very Briton in the yvhole world to
greatei determination to bring Ger
many in lit*r knees and if Germany
should lie so brought down she will
be called on to answer for all these
innocent ones now being added to the
war toll.
When King George paid his latest
visit to the front he showed that he
had profited by a former experience,
he rode a motor car instead of a
horse,
ALASKA’S GREAT TRADE.
The figures which the department
of commerce has furnished in a bul
letin on the commerce of the United
States with a noncontiguous territor
ies show a largo expansion in the
trade with Porto Ulco and Alaska and
comparatively insignificant grains in (
the trade with Hawaii and the Phil
ippines. The Alaska figures are im- I
portant in volume and are also of far '
more local interest.
They show that during May of this j
year we shipped to Alaska substantial
ly double the value of goods shipped
May of last year and that Alaska's
shipments to the United States were
more than four times as great as they
were during May, 1915.
For the eleven month period the
total shipments to Alaska were valued
at more than $24,000,000 as compured
with $19,000,000 during the same pe*
riod of the last fiscal year, while ship
ments from Alaska to the United
States reached the extraordinary fig
ures of $45,000,000, an increase of more
than $20,00,000 over those of last year.
The total commerce of Alaska with the
United States for the fiscal year w:ts
about $80,000,000 in volue. The trade
ot Alaska, with ils relatively small
number of inhabitants is greater, both
on the import and the export side, than
the trade of the Philippines, and it is
expanding far faster.
The prosperity of Alaska, as shown
by these figures, is a factor in the
prosperity of this state and this city
oft he largest importance, for here is
the entreport of practically all of Al
aska's trade, and here also is where
much of it is handled directly.
Another feature is that this enor
mous and expanding commerce is car
ried on by water, through inland pas
sages in great part which are the poor
est lighted of any waters on the globe
and have fewer aids to navigation than
can be found elsewhere. The congres
sional appropriatons for aids to navi
gation in Alaska waters this year are
less than tnoy are for the coast of
Virginia, and no larger than were
made for small single ports.—P. I.

A CHAT WITH
OUR READERS
As the heading at the top of this
article indicates this is going to bu a
straight little heart to heart talk be
tween you and ourselves. We Want you
to feel that the Nugget is Just as much
interested In your own Individual sue
cess as It is in the success of the whole
district. By working together we can
help each other to a very large extent
and each in our way assist In boost
ing the district in which we are in
terested. It is the constant effort of
the Nugget to proomte the welfare of
the community and district through
the medium of its columns. In our
daily edition we lose no opportunity of
furthering the interests of the com
munity and the district, as you, your
selves well know. It is to bring to
bear the most potent influence at our
command that we issue annually a
magazine devoted to tho development
and exploitation of Seward peninsula,
known as the Mining Edition. You
have all at some time read this publi
cation and know that it contains full
and accurate information concerning
the mineral resources, the industries,
and the development needs of the dis- j
trict. No feature of the country is
overlooked. You all realize that the j
character of the Magazine makes it a !
most valuable advertising medium to '
the outside world. Furthermore it is
tho only publication devoted exclu- 1
sivcly to the dissemination of knowl- |
edge concerning Seward peninsula and
what it contains.
Now, we feel that you know what j
we are driving at, so why not sit down 1
now and fill out the subscription blank .
in this issue and help to promote the
good work that we are doing for the
country and yourself by sending in
your subscription for the Magazine. ;
Send them where they will benefit the j
country. If you can’t use a dozen, !
subscribe for a half dozen; if you can’t >
use a half dozen take one.
Every subscription received now1
means that much more toward en- 1
abling us to produce a better and big- •
ger Magazine.
A better and bigger Magazine means
more publicity for the district in which
you are interested. More publicity
means faster progress in development
and faster development means more j
dollars ror you.
So you see that by helping us now
you will be helping yourself in the
future. While we are at it, we want
to say a few words to the merchants
of Nome. There is going to be big
business for you in this section in the
future. How soon it will develop de
pends a great deal on how soon you
are willing to develop it. If you aro
alive to the possibilities of the mining
and other industries of this section '
you should be willing to assist any j
project that will tend to further its!
Interests. V’ou will put you shoulder
to the wheel and assist any movement
for the betterment of conditions in the
district and the development of its
latent resources.
However, you cannot do it by set
ting back and waiting. Get together |
with the mining men and others who
ire striving to do something for the !
country and work with them for de- !
rclopment. We need roads, a harbor |
md a half dozen other things and they j
will not come unless you get in and >
cend your assistance by boosting or i
wiping others to do so. Any outlay j
jf time or money that you may make ;
it the present time will undoubtedly 1
return to you tenfold in the future.
At least assist in securing for the
country such benefits as may be gain
ed by advertising the wealth and re- !
tources of the country. .
