past he has been discriminated
against and this must cease. The
speaker firmly declared that the
efforts of the Chamber of Com
merce at development of the min
ing industry will be doomed to
failure if the sourdough miner is
not given encouragment and help
through reciving employment in
preference to others.
The senator also referred to
the need for roads and delivered
an exhaustive discussion of the
amount of funds devoted to road
work and the sources thereof,
showing that the second division
has not received a just proportion.
Fisheries taxation is essential If
the fisheries paid a just and proper
tax plenty of good roads might
be had. There was not much- to
be hoped for from the Road Com
mission and the greatest possibil
ities for future funds must come
from the territorial government.
"Dad” James spoke on “Muni
cipal Affairs” and dilated broadly
on the pumping and lighting plant
and coal yard problems declaring
that the question had been answ
ered by the people in most elo
quent fashion at the polls but it
would take the active co-operation
of the entire people to prevail up
jon congress to allow the privilege
'of bonding the city. He al9o
strongly endorsed November as
sessments but said that the matter
should not be made a burden too
heavy to bear. The assessments
should not be unreasonable as in
the case of the small property
holder at present. The stocks of
the merchants should be assessed
at a reasonable average and there
would be no objection. The
Morningside sanatorium also
came in for a large share of at
tention and the institution was
strongly denounced. Mr. James
advocated the opening of the de
t'-rtion hospital as a remedy for
the evils of the system of caring
lot the insane and the public were
urged to make an effort to secure
appropriations for this purpose
Dr. J. H. Mustard spoke on the
harbor matter and said that the
project was vital to the commerce
and industries of Nome and the
peninsula. Cheaper transporta
tion was the all absorbing need
and the installation of a harbor
would materially reduce the costs
of ocean transportation. The
speaker asserted on excellent au
thority that the cheaper lighterage
facilities that would follow the
construction of a harbor might re
duco the lighterage cost to two
dollars per ton If the lighterage
companies refused to do the fair
thing and remained intractable he
would advocate that a few more
bond's be issued and we could go
into the lighterage business our
selves. Refering to the war de
partment engineer report he said
that if it were unfavorable we
should not be discouraged. If tin
people wanted a harbor they could
get it but they must work for it.
The doctor also entered into the
losses that have been entailed to
Nome and the transportation
companies owing to the absence
of proper landing facilities. The
address was careful and most con
vincing.
The meeting was closed by
President Polet with a statement
of the sums Nome has had to pay
to the transportation companies in
the shape of increased freight
rates since ipu and declared that
the tins, c' acted bv the gov - n
meat in that year, which was*
:■ .d • the first excuse for raising
rates, bail cost the people today
$44,549 in wharfage and that this
meant that the companies had ex
acted a profit of $36,000 over and
above tbo fine “And now
they want to add still more bv
WHAT THE BRITISH
'
Exactly what the tax of one
half on all war profits in Great
Britain will yield is, of course,
impossible to say. That the
amount will run into many mil
lions may be gathered from the
following facts and figures.
A certain firm of millers has
made a war profit of $1,135,000.
while eight Welsh colliery com
panies have made extra profits
since the war began ranging
from $280,000 to $650,000. It is
estimated that South Wales coal
companies alone will have to

NOTICE OY THRST MEETING
OF CREDITORS
To the creditors of Charles A.
Traeger, of St. Michael, in the Di

bankrupt.
Notice is hereby given that on
the 8th day of April ,1916, the said
Charles A. Trager was duly ad
judicated bankrupt; that the first
meeting of his creditors will be
held at the office of J. F. Hobbes,
Referee in Bankruptcy, in Nome,
Alaska, on the 29th day of April,
1916, at 2 o’clock p. m. of said
day, at which time the said cred
itors may attend, appoint a trus

bankrupt, and transact such other
business as may properly come
before said meeting.

tax for the remainder of the year.
This is nothing, however, com
pared with what shipping com
panies will have to pay. On very
good authority, it is asserted that
more than $1,500,000 will be ex
tracted from British shipping
alone. And when the exlraordi
narv freights which have prevail
ed since the beginning of the w
are considered, and it is remem
bered that ships purchased since
the beginning of the war at very
jugh prices have paid for their
cost in three voyages, this figure
large as it is, would seem to be •
pretty near the mark.
Millions also will have to b<
paid to revenue by clothing and
boot manufacturers.' There have
also been huge profits made by
oil and petrol manufacturers. In
the case of the Vnglo-Amcriean
Oil Company, which sells the
Rockefeller petrol in Great Britain
they- admit a profit in the last two
years of 44 1-2 per cent, or 89 per
cent on their recent capital of $5,
