City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 6, 1915.
President Wilson's denunciatory ar
raignment of that class of our adopted
citizens who, as he puts it, "have a
greater love, for their native land
than they possess for the land of their
adoption” undoubtedly finds an echo
in the heart and mind of all true born
Americans and those of foreign birth
who have a due regard for the land
to which they have given their alleg
iance and for the oath they have sworn
lo hold sacred and Inviolate Its laws
and institutions. The developments of
the great war have been many and
curious and have revealed several un
suspected conditions which cannot be
viewed as other than a most serious
menace to the future welfare of the
> ; tion in the event of certain unfor
tunate conditions arising, all of which
are far from being possibilities In any
degree remote. Most prominent among
the revelations born of the mighty
struggle across the water is that un
deniable fact that a large percentage
of our heterogenous population are nol
in a true sense "good citizens" in thal
they are far from being lmbueu with
that overwhelming regard for the land
of their adoption which will cause
them to lend to its support the very
fiber of their being in the hour of trial
regardless of who may oppose or of the
nature of the cause they may be called
upon to uphold when a crisis shall
arise. Sharply disclosed against the
dark background of bitterness and hate
engendered by the war stands an
army of our fellow citizens by Courtesy
who have a regard for this land of
their adoption of such peurile quality
that they would hesitate not a moment
to cast off their voluntary allegiance
as one would throw aside a worn out
coat when it was no longer service
able, in the event that the choice of
decision lay between the land of their
nativity and the home ,of their adop
tion. Nay, further, there are those
who would not hesitate to plot de
struction, treason and even rebellion
against this nation should a situation
arise wherein America would find her
self opposed to the country from
whence they came and which they
have foresworn with a full knowledge
of the nature of their action. It
would be, indeed, a far from desirable
condition were this class of pseudo
Americans numerically few, for even
a few would constitute a peril to be
carefully guarded against, hut that
they really from a menace of the most
alarming proportions Is Indicated by
the fact that their numbers, far from
being small, really reach Into the mil
lions and that they are composed of
the former citizen of not one nation
hut of several all of which are num
bered among the most powerful of
the earth. Times without number dur
ing the war period it has been disclosed
that this class of citizens are not only
not dependable as subjects but actual
ly possess so little regard for their
adopted land that they are ready at
all times to lend their every effort to
the cause of their own country re
gardless of whether It is in contention
with America or not and this without
regard for the fact that such aid and
effort is a detriment and peril to the ]
land in which they abide. Possessing
neither loyalty nor respect for our
Institutions, save as they may be tem
porarily serviceable to themselves;
holding In superority, in many cases,
the manners, customs and modes of
thought of thqir own land, to the dis
paragement of our own: forever view
ing themselves with pride as natives
of a land or nation which they have
with strange Inconsistency renounced:
these people are a canker on the body
of the nation which requires but the
development of certain conditions to
break out as a festering sore of such
proportions as to threaten its very
existence. That a very large percen
tage of this so-called "hyphenated"
gentry arc altogether undesirable, has
been amply proven to the satisfaction
of all who are really alive to the sig
nificance of outward manifestations
and the suggestion of the president
that It is high time that the nation
should call them to a reckoning, is not
only timely hut is seemingly a matter
of grave necessity In view of the fact
that they have displayed with suffi
cient emphasis that they are not only
not "good citizens," save In outward
appearances, hut are in reality embry
onic traitors who need only the de
velopment of a certain train of cir
cumstances or conditions to manifest
themselves as a source of discord, not
to say active peril, to the nation and
its loyal citizens. Not only should they
be called upon for an accounting for
their present activities in the inter
ests of foreign powers but they should
also, In the view of many, be called
upon for an Immediate declaration of
their intentions toward the United
States in the event of a situation aris
ing wherein their sympathies might be
drawn to some foreign cause. Such
action may be contrary to our consti
tutional freedom but it is never the
'ess eminently desirable that the na
tion should be able to cope with the
->erll it is nursing in its bosom and.
f not this, then some other method
should be devised to rid ourselves as
’peedily as possible of what may ulti
mately result in great harm, if not our
complete undoing. In continuing to sup
port a class of citizens who show in their
very act and speech that they have
no love for the nation which affords
hem their daily bread when its inter
-sts are opposed to those of some other
power, the nation Is doing nothing less
•han sharpening a sword for Its own
throat.

NOTES
Emil Pohl, a Seattle contractor, was
the successful bidder for the erection
of a government hospital at Juneau for
the natives. The contract price was
not made public, but it is stated that
the building and furniture will cost at
least $12,000.
Hans Stelnfeld, who has spent the
summer in the Slate creek district,
has returned to Valdez and reports
the roads in the interior In good con
[ dltion.
J. E. Wilson, the Valdez freighter,
has completed the delivery of the 60
tens of government supplies to the
signal stations between Valdez and
Tonsina, and has sent 28 head of stock
to Chitina to start the delivery of the
balance of the government supplies,
'insisting of 60 tons for the military
stations between Tonsina and Don
nely’g.
After struggling for two years or
more, Douglas has been granted an
agency of the Marconi Wireless Tele
'raph Company, and P. J. Jerome, of
the Triple-O system, has been appoint
ed local agent.
A monument has been erected by
the Dawson Daughters of the Empire
to the memory of Inspector Fitzer
old of the Northwest Mounted police
and his three companions, who lost
their lives In 1911 while making a
trip over the Rock mountains to the
north north. Constables Sam Carter,
Q. F.F Kinney and R. O. Taylor per
shed with Fitzgerald. The monument
is of Yukon stone and stands in the
middle of the Dawson park at the
mouth of the Klondike river.
A bear cub which escaped from Ftltz
Post on the Kenai a year ago was shot
th« other day. The bear had a iwiiw
(round Its neck when It escaped and
tlio remains of the collar, grown Into
;hc hide, were found on the bad bear.
Evidently the cub had become desper
te as it outgrew the coliar, for it had
torn at it until the strong leather had
been broken, but not before it had
ripped several holes in its hide. The
cub had an excellent pelt, except for
the holes at the neck.
Valdez.—The powder house of the
Granite mine on Hobo bay near Port
Wells, was destroyed by an explosion
Thursday, according to word brought
here from the superintendent. Joe
Domensie, a former employe, Is under
arrest in connection with the explo
sion because he had made threats to
blow up the plant following his dls
harge. The mill building was slightly
damaged by the blast. It Is estimated
that there was 3,000 pounds of explo
sives in the magazine at the time.
Every traveler on the upper Yukon
•iver has noted a conspicuous white
bed, 4 to 6 inches in thickness, that
HTtirs on the river banks. This is
made up of volcanic ash derived from a
volcano located in the northern margin
of (he St. Elias range more than 100
miles to the south. Though geologi
cally speaking the material is Of recent
age, yet It was probably erupted 1.400
years ago. There are, of course, no
historical records of this eruption, but
in the course of explorations in Alaska
much has been learned about the dis
tribution and thickness of the material
ejected. It originally covered an area
■of over 140.000 square miles and some
of it was carried over 450 miles from
the volcano. The deposit varies in
thickness from 300 feet near the vol
cano to an inch or two at the margin
the area covered by it. A rough
■■■stimate indicates that over 10 cubic
miles of material was ejected at the
1 ime of this eruption. During the
■>ruption of Katmnl volcano in south
western Alaska in June, 1912, about
five cubic miles of ash was ejected, and
about the same amount fell from the
Krnkatoa eruption in 1883. 'This Yu
kon eruption is therefore comparable
in intensity with some of the larger
’ruptions of historical time. All the
available information about this sub
let is summarized in a paper en
titled, “An ancient volcanic eruption
’n the upper Yukon basin,” by Stepl.
?n R. Capps, issued by the United
states geological survey as professional
paper 95 D
Shortage of water in the Ruby dis
trict while curtailing gold production
for the season somewhat will have a
marked Influence for good on the region
is a great deal of extra prospecting
has been done, declares Sewell Dalby,
•n Alaskan pioneer of ’97. who Is In
Seattle on a business trip, says the
P.-I. "Shortage of water has cut down
production,” said Mr. Dalby. “This,
however, wll have a good effect on the
future of Ruby, as' a great deal of
prospecting has been done. There has
been some trouble and will likely be
more over the eight-hour law. The
miners want pay for ten hours’ work,
and by law work hut eight hours. They
will not stand for a cut and many of
the mines are running right along,
however. What Ruby chiefly needs
Is a better road system, so that freight
rates can be cut down.”
Tanana mine operators have filed
notice that their employes are not
working for them under the new com
pensation act. There la a general
move to avoid the territorial law pass
ed at the last legislature session.
