City Offieial Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 5, 1915.
To all who may have the best in
n-rests of Seward Peninsula at heart,
it is apparent that the visit of J. L.
McPherson, the special representative
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
is a matter of considerable importance
to this district and the territory as a
whole. Coming as the spokesman for
the one section of the United States
that has at all times given of its best
efforts in the upbuilding of this great
territory and to which we may attri
bute much of the recognition that has
been grunted us In recent years by the
national government through the ef
forts of its citizens and also its re
presentatives in the halls of Congress,
Mr. McPherson represents far more
than the Seattle civic body who have
sent him on the long journey to the
north. In n great measure he is the
envoy, not of a mere commercial or
ganization, seeking to cement an ad •
vantageous union with a present and
prospective client, but rather he is the
representative of a big body of sincere
and wholesome friends and well wish
ers of this great territory—friends who
have already shown their frlendshio
by every means within the power Df
man—by the expenditure of time and
effort and money. There is no denying
the fact that back of that admirable
civil spirit or the citizens of Seattle
lii-s a real friendship for Alaska and
its people. True, it is a friendship
founded upon the basis >f anticipated
profitable rewards—Seattle expects to
gain by what she is doing for Alaska
yet this fact does not discount the
still greater fact that Seattle has done
much in the interest of Alaska and
may in every sense he considered the
foremost champion of the cause of this
territory. Seattle and its citizens were
the tlrst to recognize the possibilities
of the northern country and have in
dustriously labored to bring abou". its
development. That their efforts have
not been without adequate results, the
records of the years will show In
making the present effort to insure the
success of the semi-oentennia! of the
Alaska purchase, Seattle, through i«"
Chamber of Commerce, is further dis
playing its interest and friendship.
-J -ii;1 -j1 I .- ■ ■ a ■;
Without the aid thus offered Alaska i
vould not, In any degree, lv>i>e to cele
brate that momentous occasion i
however much effort might bp
made In that direction, and if the cele- <
Oration is a success, ns it doubtless will
be, we may thank the citizens of Seat
tle ns represented hy the Chamber of
Commerce. The men composing that
body are the solid men of that cotn
nunlty—men of substance and In
luence Who can secure a still greater
nfluence to aid In whaiever they m**
jndertake. They are now turning that
remendous energy displayed In their
iwn affairs toward helping os t • ad
vertise our wares and in that manner
bring about tile development of the
errltory and a consequent benefit to
ts citizens. Tht we of tIris community
should lend our best efforts to aid
[hem In what they are doing is citar
to everyone who has any interest In
the territory whatever. Noma is ad
mittedly lacking in civic spirit and has
never at any time displayed any par
ticular desire to help herself, h.it it. the
present case, if we hvp any, spark of
civic pride, we cannot refea'n from
helping in the semi-centennial cele
bration movement with all our might,
unless wo wish to see ourseives, one
of the most important towns in the
territory, shamed by smaller and less
prosperous communities. That the cel
ebration will he held regardles.t of
whether we participate or not, is cer
tain with such hustling live wires as
Mr. McPherson and his colleagues of
the Seattle Ohamher of Commerce be
hind him. It is, therefore, tip to the
citizens of this community to assist
the Seattle representative and •: is
hoped that every active citizen wno
has any interest in the territory or a
spark of pride In ■the community in
which he lives, will attend the meeting
called hy Mayor Diamond this eve' ing
and at which Mr. McPherson will ex
plain the plans so far suggested in re
gard to the scheduled celebration
One of the greatest surprises of the
war is the desperate fighting of the
Turks, and it verily seems that the
"sick man” of Kuropp is indeed re
generated. In the present grtxit strug
gle the Turks have gone a long way
toward making the world forget the
sorry mess they made of things in the
Balkan war and the intensity of their
struggle has regained them much of
the prestiage which made them one of
the most drenrted of foes prior to 1878.
The fact that they are now being led
and directed by German officers may
have something to do with their pre
sent remarkable showing, or ttie very
fact that they did so badly in 1910 may
In port account for their doing so much
belter now because whatever of mil
itary pride that remained in the Turk
ish nation must have been outraged by
the miserable showing make in the
Balkans. Of course the conditions of
warfare have become so changed
through the substitution of trench
fighting for the old time methods that
it is difficult to draw comparisons and
even the precedents of the Balkan war
no longer seem to be of any use in
making estimates of the fighting quali
ties of different races. The superiority
of one race over another in the matter
of courage, dash and staying power
seems to count but very little in trench
warfare and there is little fighting in
the open field. The present struggle
seems now to have resolved itself into
a matter of physical endurance: not of
actual fighting, hut of bearing cold and |
wet, hunger and other physical miser- |
ies. In the very nature of flip method,
lies the greatest danger to the bravest
warrior for the braver he is, according
to the old standards of martial bravery,
the sooner he is killed or crippled.
Nowadays he is brave equally with the 1
bravest who can remain for days hug- 1
glng the protection of a muddy trench
and the longer he can remain crouch
ing low beneath the nerve racking hail
of shot and shell, the better soldier he
is. Up may have all the physical cour
age in the world hut the more he may
display carelessness in exposing him
self Hie more his chances of becoming
unavailable as a fighting unit. At that
ttie number of deaths in the present
struggle is greater than ever before lm;
still much smaller in proportion to the
number of men engaged than would
have been the ease were trenches not
