TUESDAY, MAY x6, 1916.
The Nome Chamber of Com
merce has instituted a campaign
to secure additional members to
assist in the beneficent task of
promoting the present and future
welfare of Nome and Seward
peninsula.
Needless to say, this move
ment is one that should receive
the full support of every person
in the district who is in a posi
to help in bringing to successful
development the various projects
on which that body is now en
gaged. The merchant and min
ing operator particularly, should
give a ready response to the ef
fort of the organization to com
bine the various business inter
ests of this section into a single
representative body for the pur
pose of encouraging and assist
ing in the development of the
latent possibilities of the district.
Further, it may be said that
the movement should not be con
fined to the business interests
but should also receive the sup
port of every property owner or
other person who has the slight
est intention of remaining in this
section of Alaska. It matters not
f the contemplated period of res
idence does not extend beyond
the present year it is still a man
ifest duty to lend whatever as
sistance is possible.
The intention to go elsewhere
has at all times been a ready
source of excuse for those who
wished to avoid responsibility in
matters concerning the welfare
of the community and it is high
time such evasionwascondemned
and discouraged whenever mani
fested. Every one expects to get
away sooner or later so this
should not a legitimate excuse.
Also it may be said those who
have fared so well that they are
able to contemplate an early de
parture manifestly owe some
thing to the country that has
treated them so well and there is
no better way to discharge the
the debt than by assisting in
such measures as will benefit
those who are not so fortunate.
Regardless of whether one is
going this year or the next, good
citizenship demands something
more than a passive interest in
measures affecting the welfare of
the community. Those who have
no prospect of leaving for an
indefinite period need no admon
ition concerning their duty in
this respect as they should read
ily appreciate that in assisting
the chamber of commerce they
will be encouraging their own
future interest and the prospects
of their, children. There is really
no logical excuse to be offered
for withholding assistance and
every business man, mining op
erator and property owner
should join hands in bringing the
various undertakings of the
chamber of commerce to a suc
cesful conclusion.
It will be appreciated by all
who stop to consider that the
mature development of any one
of the numerous projects w-ith
which that body is concerning it
self w ill have a marked influence
on both the present and future
of the community and district
With one or two exceptions,
each and every one of the vari
ous projects in which the organ
ization is interested promise
either an increase or a saving in
the income of every inhabitant of
the peninsula. The development
of good roads, and the construc -
tion of a Snake river harbor
promise a substantial decrease in
the expense of mining operation
and a resultant benefit to every
one. Both are projects which
alone offer adequate reward for
any effort which may be taken
to secure them. These are the
principal fatures of the chamber
of commerce program. In addi
tion the body is also working on
a dozen or more projects of equal
importance to the pocket books
of the residents of the district.
The effort to prevent a raise in
the ocean freight rates and to
secure a reduction in the trans
portation costs ot coai noui tne

every ettort being made is un
deniably one that will be of great
benefit to the city, the territory
and tne people tnereof, regard
less of means or station, m the
event that they are brought to a
succsslul development.
They are, therefore, worthy of
the support oi each and every
person and all should contribute
toward their success as far as
they are able. The members of
the chamber of commerce are
laboring for the welfare of every
man, women and child in Nome
and the adjacent territory and it
is the plain duty of every one to
share the burden as well as the
benefits of their efforts, when
ever possible, either by lending a
grateful encouragement or by
becoming a member of the or
ganization, and thus contribut
ing to its financial support.
Every business man in the dis
trict should be enrolled as a
member as well as such others
as possess an active interest in
the town and district. The cham
ber is working along lines that
are due for certain success if
backed by the public spirited
citizens of the community and is
fully deserving of all the help
and encouragement that can be
given.

There’s one rubber
boot that has
“made good’’ in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich \
“HIPRESS”)
White Scot
“With the Red-Line
’round the Top”
You know thut when a Boot j
eomes in and simply sweeps the country I
like “mPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to
be SOMETHING UNUSUAL-for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich “IHPRESS” Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel!
You don’t have to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
»
The reason for this unusual service is that “HIPRESS” are constructed by
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. They
are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—
welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
There’s nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split!
They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once you start wearing White “HIPRESS” you’ll never be
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is but ONE “HIPRESS” Boot —it luis
a Red-Line ’round the Top.
DCALERSi If not already atocked on ^HIPRESS** write at once for samples and prices.
This is the best selling, best wearing Boot ever put into Alaska.
