THURSDAY, APRIL 6. 1916.
The ratification of the proposal
to bond the city, for the purpose
of instituting a muncipal lighting
and pumping plant and coal yard
is seemingly an excellent indica
tion that Nome is at last waking
up to the fact that it is time to get
busy at doing something to im
prove the present state or condi
tion of things instead of waiting
in slothful idleness, as we have
done for the past decade, for the
miners or somebody to bring
something to us while we set in
our easy chair.
And it is truly time that we
come to a realization that no one
is going to do anything for the
town except the people in it. If
we want to go ahead, if w*e want
to better conditions we have got
to do it ourselves.
The policy of watchful waiting
of the past eight or nine years
has long since proven to be a
snare that brings no results save
possible dissolution. How we
have endured the years of steady
decadence wuthout making some
effort to improve things, passes all
understanding
How in the world could we ex
pect things to "pick up” while we,
ourselves, remained absolutely
idle ? Year after year w'e have
watched the camp drift slowly
from good to passable and passa
ble to worse and all the while it
never occurred to us to spend a
trifle of the energy devoted to
complaining to doing something
useful
It is only in the last four or five
months that we seem to have he
come acquainted with the fact
that we are living in a country
idled with amazing possibilities
for development, that there are
stores of riches still untouched
greater than those which made
our name a household word
throughout the world; and that
much could be done to make them
a source of profit to purselves.
How it is that this has happen
ed is hard to guess unless it be
that we have at la9t grown weary
of waiting for a prosperity that
would not come, and hunt us up
and have resolved to try and do a
bit for ourselves So far we
haven’t doneihiuch but, we are
getting started. We have rustled
up enough energy to make an at
tempt to secure the pumping ami
lighting plant—that should have
been instituted years ago. That
effort alone is something. We
may never get the pumping plant,
etc., but we are giving evidence
that we are willing to make a try
in that direction. The coal pile
may be a dream that will not be
realized for many a long day but
we have made a start to get it
and there is little reason to doubt
that if we keep after it it will
ultimately become ours.
It all depends upon ourselves.
We have taken the initial steps
and if wc want further progress
vwq must work. And the same
applies to practically everything
else that we need If we want
them we must go after them and
keep busy until we get them. If
we want roads or the harbor, or
cheaper transportation we must
work until we get them. If we
want to go ahead in any direction
we must work to that end. Care
lessness and slothful idleness
won’t get us anything.
We have got started now and
it we have the least bit of gump
tion we will keep going until we
have either achieved something or
proved the worthlessness of striv
ing- In any event we will have
saved ourselves from falling to
sleep altogether and that alone
will be some benefit
We stand to win something and
we can’t lose much so we should
by all means keep going now that
we have made a start.

There's one rubber boot
that leas “made good”
in Alaska, and that's the
Goodrich
"HIPRESS”
White Boot
‘With the Red-Lino ’round the Top”
You know that when a boot comes in and
simpl}* sweeps the whole country like
“H1PRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOJVIETI11NG lIN T rSUAL
White Gu(.dii(*!i 1 J_UPRESS’’ Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don’t hare to half
sole them with leather—they fir outwear hob
nailed bather soles. The reason lor this unusual service is that
“MlPRESS” are constructed by an entirelj* new process—fifty years
ahead of the old.
Made of the some tough rubber that •yics into G"'0<irlch Anto Tires—v oided
together under cnoruwus pressure IS TO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing lo come apart—they can't leak, peel, crick or split! They’re comfort
able, too—shaped to the foot while it’s working. VV'« promise that once you start
wearing White ‘‘HIPItLSb' you'll never be eulisflea with anything els.j. And
