City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. JUNE 7, 1915.
Using so far removed from all con
tact with the reality, it is still difficult
fiir many people to realize that the
most powerful nations on the globe
are engaged in the most monumental
international struggle in the history of
the world and that approximately
twenty million men are locked in the
grip of the most terrible of all human
plagues—war. And it is still more
difficult to realize that the great bulk
of the inen engaged in the mammoth
struggle are those from the common
walks of life—mechanics, clerks, la
borers, business men, men such as we
ure accustomed to meet in the ordi
nary every day round of our own af
fairs and are ordinarily about us far
removed from the general conception
of the brass buttoned and epauletted
soldier as can well be imagined. There
is nothing of the professional soldier
about them and except for the little
insight acquired through their pre
vious military training, having, in most
cases, not the faintest conception of
what war actually is until they were
called upon to face its horrors. And it
is addedly difficult for many people to
grasp the idea that along the far ex
tended battle lines almost constant
lighting of some description is going
on at all times, daily, hourly, and that
dozens, perhaps hundreds, are perish
ing while we read our paper or eat our
lunch. And this, not as in the strug
gles of the past where a few great
battles usually decided a campaign, is
going on continually. Here is no
gathering of the phalanxes, no mar
shaling of the hosts in serried ranks
ready to hurl themselves in cloud-like
hatallions on the massed legions of the
foe. Here the struggle is to keep con
cealed from the almost continual rain
of death from the artillery between
the intervals of active assault, when
the opposing lines rush from their
trenches in furious charges, hoping to
reach the enemy before the answering
storm of shot sweeps them into obli
vion Here is a struggle wherein one
may he killed or maimed without even
catching a sight of the foe with whom
one is fighting, as has indeed been the
ease in several recorded instances.
Although all very real and very terri
ble it is still difficult to realize that it
ean he so. So disturbing has the
awful conflict been to our conceptions
that it is indeed hard to grasp the fact
that men are being slaughtered by
thousands just beyond our ken. hut
. the brief war reports and the lengthy
casualty lists disclose painfully enough
that It is Indeed a reality, grim and
dreadful.. But the most difficult of ail
to 4frasp are the gigantic dimensions
of it all. To realize that all of the
young and strong and even the middle
aged in some cases have left their vo
cations to the care of the women, the
aged and the infirm and marched awav
to the battle lines and that they are
fighting and dying almost every hour
of every day. Truly it all seems most
incomprehensible that such things
can be going on in those far-off lands
of which we were wont to think of as
scenes of peaceful calm, of beauty and
contentment.
No strong man has appeared in sight
ss the result of the Democratic ad
ministration. Outside of Secretary
Onrrisnn and Secretary Bane, no Cab
inet member has shown large caliber.
Mr Garrison could not get the nomi
nation. and Mr. Dane was horn outside
the t’nited States and so is ineligible
for the presidency. So the Democratic
party has nowhere to turn, and be
cause of that fact is satisfied to give
to Mr. Wilson a second nomination.
The partv Is in a dilemma whatever it
does, and one from which there is no
apparent escape.—Philadelphia Press
The seaman s act operates to special

Ii will take a lung time to get at the
truth of this great contest, flernhardi
is absolutely right when he quotes
Frederick the Great as claiming that
war bFings out ihe finest traits of a
nation. Unfortunately for Bernhardt's
countrymen this war has brought out
these traits mostly in the English and
French. All the old travelers 1 met
in France and England agreed with me
thal this war has caused the rebirth
of France. Dirty politicians, like M.
t'ailluux, who were ruining tiio re
public, have been disgraced and driven
into congenial darkness. Frenchmen
everywhere are showing a brave, pure,
honorable spirit. Nor is it otherwise
with England. It was all through the
new army of Eord Kitchner. 1 was
astounded at the splendor of the awak
ened manhood of England. The amaz'
trig hospitality to Ihe Belgians has not
been equalled in England since Alfred's
days. Yes. the German war spirit has
been a wonderfully good thing—espec
ially for England and France—Peter
MacQueen in Notional Magazine.

NOTES
(From our Exchanges.)
Miners working on Wilber Creek in
tlie Tolnvana district, have come across
an old dump showing that the creek
was prospected years ago. Fans from
the old dump gave returns of about
three cents, but at that would not pay
in the early days the discoverer aban
doned the ground. He afterwards lost
his life in the Tolnvana.
The Seward Gateway says: Over on
the Kenai River. Deputy Game Warden
Ericson says some of the men have
taken up again the search for a treas
iure supposed to have been hidden there
by the Russians. Mr. Ericson has seen
himself several old shafts and dumps
dug by the Russians long before Port
age hay got the idea that it would lie a
railroad terminal. He returned the
day before yesterday from that quarter
and at that time tlie search was on.
There are two stories about the gold.
< >ne is that it was hidden by convicts. .
but for the sake of local color convicts'
are always dragged into stories of j
Russia. It is said that some of the na
tives hav e nuggets in their possession t
from the hidden bunch, but that they
keep it quiet not to let the whites get
too wise.
That Commissioner Thomas W.
llanmore, of Iliamna, committed sui
cide recently is conveyed by letter to I
tlie Seward Gateway. This letter was j
written on the day following the find- j
ing of the body, but did not arrive
until the Santa Ana brought the mail, j
it was written by Fred .1 Roehl. Ac- /
cording to the writer the commissioner
left a note telling that he was losing
his sight and not wishing to become a I
burden on others, he had decided to
take his life. He also stated in that
note that he left his position and per
sonal notes to a party' to whom he
owed something, lie took stock of all
the government's property. The body:
was found in n chair at 10 o'clock on
the morning of January HO by Ah v
t’lynn. who went to the commissioners
house to have a tooth pulled by that i
olllcial. llanmore was well known all
over Alaska of which he had been a '
vi sident for many years.
' S. AT. Graff, owner nf the electric |
flight and power plant and telephone J
system at Seward, Alaska, is registered
with Mrs. Graff at the llutler, enronte
to the East, says tha Seattle 1'. 1. They
expect to remain in the East about six
weeks, returning by way of California.
.Tust from Seward. Mr. Oraff is en
thusiastic over the future of the
Northern town and looks for a 'big
growth there during the next few
years. “The population of Seward has
doubled in the last three months,” said
Mr. Graff. “The greater part of the
arrivals are men waiting for employ
ment on railroad construction work,
(however. A few are there to invest in i
the town and grow up with it. T would
like to issue a warning to laboring men
|to stay away from Seward, at least fori
the present year. I understand that I
native Alaskans will be favored for
places on whatever work the govern
ment will do there or near there, nnd
it will he useless for outsiders to ex
pect anything." Mr. Graff expects to
enlarge his plant, and while on this
trip will make his purchases of steel
pipe to increase the water power of
his plant.
It appears that Col. It. C. .Tackling
is an inventor as well as a financier,
it being claimed that he is the origin
al discoverer of the Chilean process of
saving gold now being used at the
Thane mill.
The Hint pebbles used in the grind
ing process are brought from Den
mark at a considerable expense, there
being none in America hard enough to
be of any use.—Empire.
Harry Yeager, of Idltarod, makes
the prediction that that country wall
be a gold producer for seven or eight
years more. The dredges are the
main method of operation now nnd
they will have territory to keep them
busy for some time.
