The Eskimo magazine published In
the United States bureau of educa
tion In Nome has been widely an
favorably commented on by newspa
pers all over the United States to
cording to notices and clippings re
ceived at the Nugget office. The Sa
vannah News, Des Moine3 Register
Leader, Manchester Union, and Orand
ulipids Herald are a few of the papers
giving a half column to the breezy
and sensible local magazine. It is to
be noted in this connection that I'.
P. Claxton, United States commis
sioner of education, has formally com
plimented the Seward peninsula peo
ple who are connected with the mag
azine on their enterprise and success.
P. H. Watts, formerly a prominent
member of this community and now
manager of the Frye hotel in Stat
ic, writes to a friend in Nome that
tini^s are booming in the east and a
rosperous winter was being looked
for in Seattle and the nojuhwest. lie
say3 that a large number of the p.ts
>i ng rs from the last Umatilla put up
at his house and some of them were
to stay indefinitely. He quotes Rill
Eddy as saying that there seemed to
be more Nome faces visible in the
lobby of the Frye than one could see
buck in Nome. He thinks the prohi
bition law is a good thing for the
community and that it will work bel
ter when the legislature passes laws
making boot-legg.ng a more hazard
ous occupation.
As the time draws near for the
Borden Marathon, complaints are
henrd from dog owners about tht
weather which interferes greatly with
training of their teams. There will lie
as many as seven entries for this
rare und possibly more. The Pace will
be a wonderful contest. Judging from
an outside standpoint the following
teams will probubly be entered: Fred
Ayer’s team which holds all records
except the Sweepstakes, Billy Webb's
which is working very fast this sea
son. Hurry Uiley’s which won the
Boschen cup. Seppalu's und Victor
Anderson's teams of Siberians which
will iigure In the contest most surely;
Dolezene and Bowen's teuin which on
account of the weather is so far an
unknown quantity; Iius3 Downing's
team of young fox hounds, which
may make It Interesting: Grant Jack
son's team of Irish setters which
may also cross the starting line; and
Fred Vincent who has a team of fast
sprinters.
I-ast fall Mr. E. W. Carleton was
one of our citizens who sent cople-i )

Edition to places where they would ;
do the most good. Along with this
edition went a circular letter calling i
altention to the resources here ana j
some of the Improvements needed to
develop these resources. In the Iasi
mall Mr. Carleton received a reply
from the Schwabucher Hardware
Company. Mr. Sol Friedenthal, sec
retary of the company acknowledged
the rcceltp of the 3peclal edition and
the letter. He said they found the
edition very inerestlng and considered
It a credit to Nome. He added,
"Your printers deserve commendation
and thanks of your community for
huvlng issued an edition as worthy
