City Official Paper
nome Alaska, nov. 11, 1915
Tile following from the Fairbanks
News-Miner so exactly describes the
local situation that we cannot resist
publishing it in tho hope that the ex
cellent moral contained will strike
some of our own pessimistically inclin
ed citizens in the soft spot and cause
them to look over actual state or con
dition of affairs before "aealamlty mi
crobe" grabs them by the short hair.
Aside from the reference to the rail
road coming—we probably could have
one too if we only went after it—
with vim and spirit—the article hits
the local situation exactly, with the
one exception that we have three or
four “baby camps" right at our back
door only we cannot seem to devote
any of our valuable time to “nurning
them." With the exceptions elimin
ated the article fits the case of a large
number of Nome citizens to a T for
we find the same spirit of downheart
edness, of hopelessness as to the pres
ent and the future as seems to be af
flicting our Fairbanks neighbors.
That such an attitude Is extremely
foolish, no one who hag taken the
trouble to look over the prospects with
an open mind can doubt for a minute
That we have nothing to worry ahou*
any more than have the good citizens
of Fairbanks, only those who are blind
or heedless will deny. Everything Is
just as good as it was four or five
years ago and there Is everything to
indicate that the future will see a visit
improvement. We are not falling be
hind in any appreciable degree unless
it be In our mental state and that can
be tinkered back to a ,,ormal condition
condition by accepting a little of the
really excellent counsel contained in
the Miner article:
L»us>mts>b is uuuu.
^Fairbanks News-Miner.)
There is a spirit of pessimism, of im
pending evil or some other kind of a
jinx got hold of this community.
Therefore, we appointed ourselves you
physician, have diagnosed your cn
and find nothing constitutionally
wrong only that you have been used
to getting the good things of life with
too little effort, and those things bo
oming each year a little more diffi
cult to secure because those who sup
ply them are getting on to your
curves, you pull a long face and set up
a howl.
That’s no way.
If you cant’ get the money with the
old play, why don’t you get busy and
pull a new one for a change? If you
can’t get the dust away from your
honest miner with a red card on your
goods in the window' with a couple of
rows of figures on them purporting to
be "former selling price $45,” and “be
low cost price $7.89,” try something
that has been tried with unvarying
sucess on the great outside—where you
are hankering to go—try an ad in
vour local papers.
What would you say of the News
Miner or the Times or the Citizen if
we lost faith in the camp and the
rest of Alaska and started a calamity
campaign. Just because business is
rotten and you don’t appreciate our ef
forts to such an extent as to Jar loose
w’ith an occasional ad?
Folks, there’s really nothing wrong
with you or with ua or with the camp.
The output of the mines Is just as great
as it was last year and there are Just
as many men engaged in producing it:
these men eat just as much and wear
as good clothes: besides we have a
baby-camp now that, with liberal, un
stinted nursing, is going to make Its
mother take a hack pew in a year or
so. And if we can only forget our
imaginary woes long enough to do
some intelligent and systematic work,
construction will commence shortly
from Fairbanks on our railroad to the
sea, which will mean a saving of a
million dollars a year at the present
p'age of development—which, by the
way, isn’t a marker to what it will be
with cheap fuel and constant and cheap
transportation facilities.
The calamity-microbe has got you,
that’s all, and If you don’t use ex
treme measures it will eventually drag
you under. The only known remedy
Is bleeding, and it will afford us ex
treme pleasure to be your surgeon.
BUSINESS IS GOOD.
CHINA AND
JAPAN
(Boston Record,)
Interpretations of the recent nego
tiations between China and Japan vary
in every magazine. In one article
1 Japan is tlie scheming aggressor, and
in the next, Japan is chivalrously as
suming the protection of their mu
iunl racial interests against -the rest
if the world. Current Opinion makes
i neutral statement of the situation:
Japan is now convinced that if she
is to have her way in China, she must
be prepared to go to war. She may
not actually have to fight. Her end
may be attained by the quiet process
<f exhibiting her strength. That ex
plains (he militarist policy upon which
she has now definitely embarked. This
Interpretation of Japan's attitude,
previously supplied only In German
iailies among the allies that Japan is
falling under the sway of her jingoes.
Reports from Tokyo and Peking both
ndieate to French papers that Ger
man diplomacy has set out to wreck
he Anglo-Japanese alliance, and even
'o involve Japan in a war with the
"nlted States. There will be curious
ievelopments, it predicts, in the near
future
Carl Crow, writing in World’s Work
presents China as a very much ag
grieved nation, as a result of last
uring’s negotiations:
On May 9th the long negotiations
•nme to a close with China's accept
nce of a part of the demands. As n
'esnlt, Japan hns secured from China
many valuable rights and privileges
vhich close the door to other nations
nd threaten the existence of China.
\side from the actual privileges, there
’ left a sequence of evil of which this
eneration will probably not see the
nd. Of the many evil results proba
bly the most Immediate and Important
s the tendency to weaken the prestige
f the Chinese government at home
•ust at a time when the position seem
'd most secure.
I ruler the firm name of Yuan Shi
T<ai the disorders which followed
'hina's recent revolutions had disap
peared. The Chinese, until a few years
'go so apathetic regarding their gov
ernment, were beginning to take a
pride in it, and to feel that they were
being led out of the old hopelessness
>nd helplessness. Now the Japanese
lemands have revealed the weakness
f Teking, and broken its prestige. The
v il results do not end there, for Japan
uis reopened the old game of scramb
'ing for concessions and rights and
'rivileges. She has upset the nicely
tdjusted balance of power and estab
’ished new spheres of influence, set
Mng an example of greed as brazen as
hot which John Hay's open door pol
icy stopped 1R years ago.
T. Iyengo of the university of Chl
•cgo. takes the reverse position toward
Japan, in an article in the Review of
Reviews:
Kxamination of the Chino-Japanese
agreement shows that there is noth
ing in it that either infringes China’s
sovereignty, or interferes with the
the rights of other powers. Instead
pf the principle of China’s integrity
being endangered, it received renewed
emphasis. Among the new economic
concessions, Japan acquired there is
none that ends to constitute a mon
opoly. The greater part consists of
cither the confirmation of the inter
ests she actually possesses, or the for
mal recognition of what has for long
been tacitly acknowledged by the
world.
The fundametnal policy of Japan
toward China, it canot be too strong
ly emphasized, is to cement the bond
of amity and friendship betw'een the
two nations.

NOTES
— \
According to the Sewr.rdl Gateway,
the Miami Copper Company, the great
est of the United States next to the
Guggenheims, and the strongest rival
of the great smelting company has re
cently entered the Alaska field and will
undertake the development of the Par
ker-Herschell properties on Quartz
creek near Seward. The company Is
the owner of the famous Miami cop
per mines of Colorado.
A Seward paper states that the first
real work on the Alaska Northern
railway was started during the last
week in September with the commence
ment of repairs to the tracks, trestles
and the telephone line. All told a
total of about seventy-five men were
sent out in sections to various points
along the line.
Cats are scarce in Tolovana and a
resident of Fairbanks recently receiv
er) an order from a Tolovana mer
chant to buy" several animals for him.
He is willing to pay from $1 to $5
’>er head, and is not particular about
their breed. The Tolovana man says
that mice and other small rodents are
getting to be a nuisance and are de
stroying considerable supplies.
T!u> Yukon Gold Company, the Gug
genheim corporation which has been
perating extensively at Dawson and
in the Iditarod, has bought three and
one-half miles of placer ground on
Greenstone creek in the Ruby district,
and will install a big dredge on the
ground. The dredge will be operated
by steam as the ground while rich is
not sufficiently extensive to warrant
'lie installation of an electric plant.
Greenstone is in the center of a splen
1 id timber belt, which will afford cheap
fuel.
The Chichagof Mining Company of
Tuneau, has been issued a permit by
the government to build a dam and
tower house. The water is to be tak
en from Rust lake, which empties!
into Sister lake, on the west side of
Chichagof island. The new electric
plant will permit the company to ex
tend their mining operations.
WE CAN DO IT.

livery phone Main 151 and the People’s j
