K-.Tiered'at the Valdez postotficeas seen ml class-matter:
Subscriptions: per year. $2 for six months. Single copies lOcents
Nome business-men are kicking i
and well they may, over the fac t
that the government only allows
two clerks-in tire Nome postoffice.
The first liktch of mail reaching
Nome this-springnmounted to nine
ton*, and in order' to-get their
mail in any kind of season the
business men of the town were
compelled to hire extra clerks
themselves.
It is rumored that an attempt
•still be made at the- next session of
Congress-- to raise the salaries of
senators and representatives, on
the ground that- marry ot them
could mnke more than they do at
present in private business. The
latter part of the argument may he
trne, yet, quality considered, we
believe the government is now pay
ing an exherbitant price for its leg
islation.
The Seattle P.-I. editorially ridi
cules the Mayor of Portland be
cause the lattec bewails the fact
that there is no steamship line
fforn that city to Alaska. It says-j
"there aint going to he no - steam
ship line from Portland to Alaska,”'
and intimates that Seattle has a
strangle hold on the Alaska busi
ness and proposes to keep it. One
of these- days Seattle may wake
-jY>: -sc-the- fact that- the hold has
bbw-broken and if not Portland,
some-other city will, by fair treat
ment and reasonable prices, get the
business Seattle now has a rnon
opjy of. The people of Alaska are
long suffering, but tlrerfe is a limit.
Not satisfied with having run tin*
convention last winter to suit
themselves,■ Seattleites- are sow
seeking proxies in Alaska that thev
may have a voice in the republican:
convention at Juneau. No one i.ot
blessed with a superabundance of
the- ‘‘Seattle Spirit,” commonly
desigtwted as ‘‘gall”, would have
the face to* make such a proposi
tion. Several erf-these Seattle Alas
kans, among them O. J. Hum
phrey. who last winter was1
chosen by the Seattle eonver.-liofi,
ostensibly to represent the Third
Division of Alaska, but in reality
to work for Dick Ryan of Nome,
have sent in a request for the Val
dez proxies. O. J. Humphrey has
nfo interests in Alaska whatever
crtlu-r than what he may make out
cjf the country with his steamships,
and his request for prbxies is an
erxliibitiofi of unsurpassed nerve,
and a reflection unon the common
st-ns«*of the people of the town.
Additional Telegrams.
St.- Petersburg,- July C-^Tl.e
Rojestvenski court martial is near
iiig an'errd.- Testimony lias been
introduced that Caj/tain Baranofr
of the Bedovi, abandoned crews of
sinking battleships allowing them
to drown. A member of the sitting
openly stated in the presence oi
Rojestvenski that the latter was a
Coward. Rojestvenski replied "Sirs,
Russia has been humiliated and
looks to you for vindication. I
await my punishment.”
Seattle, July The Olympia
sailed for1 Nome last night with
000,000 feet of ldmher. 115 horses,
300 sheep and much other freight,
and 30 first-class passengers.
Seattle, July 10—Delegates to
the Juneau convention are sailing
to-day. The convention wiil be
postponed until all proxies are in,
it being feared that any snap con
vention will split the republican
dnrty.
