The publisher of the Nome Nugget wishes
friends for the support given him and his policies in the recent, mayoralty
contest.
A town that never has anything to do in a public way is on tbe
way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his town is
helping to dig the grave. A man that "cusses” the town furnishes the
coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to
give affairs is making the shroud. The man who will not advertise is
driving the hearse. The man who is always pulling back from any public
enterprises throws bouquets on the grave. The stingy man who is always
howling hard times preaches the funeral and sings the doxology. And
thus the town lies buried from all sorrow and care.
The marketing of Nenana coal at Anchorage and Seward in suc
cessful competition with fuel from the wide-advertised Matanuska district
where millions have been expended by the Government and private opera
tors in opening up properties, will have a most pronounced influence on
LV* future development of the Interror country. It mafks the real begin
ning of an industry that gives promise of expanding until all of the fuel
requirements of Alaska are supplied from the limitless coal deposits ad
jacent to Nenana.
The development of thi:,? promising industry, hitherto regarded as
more or less of a local proposition, means a back haul for the Government
railroad, steadily increasing tonnage between Nenana and Fairbanks, and
a lowering of fuel costs along tbe Tanana and Yukon rivers, as far away
from the mines as St . Michael and Nome, where the price of coal has be
come almost prohibitive.
The development of the Nenana coal field is the more noteworthy
because of the fact that all of the results thus far achieved have been ac
cpmlished without aid from the Government, beyond the purchase of fuel
for actual requirements.—Nenana News.
IKK IjA\’I> AN'I) ALASKA
For centuries, Ireland has been seeking freedom, a separation from
England and the British empire, and particularly from the system of
absentee landlords. In this, Alaska has a greater cause for a bond of
sympathy than Is generally known and unless the people of the North
% take good care they will have much more cause for complaint.
History of towns in Alaska that have risen and fallen show that
the “absentee landlord” to a large extent has been responsible for the
fall, and while the picking was good cleaned the residents of their sub
stance. Right here in Ketchikan and surrounding district, and all over
Southeastern Alaska, this same situation is true.
First and foremost, of course, are the men who own and operate
canneries in the North but reside in the Territory only during the short
Ashing season, who rub shoulders with us and pat us on the back, but leave
little and take much. They are not of the same class as the men of
Alaska who are interested in canneries and spend the year in the Territory,
looking after their fisheries and other Interests, buying their merchandise
and supplies of al lkinds from the merchants.
Then there is the class of corporation which has branch establish
ments in the Territory the managers of which have no authority whatever
except to collect and remit the big profits that the barons may bask in
the sunshine of the sunny south. Some of these don’t even do the North
the courtesy of retaining a bank account, of contributing to public sub
scriptions, or of otherwise showing the spirit that is demonstrated by Pbe
good old pioneers who have every thing they possess in the world tied up
right in Alaska.
The sooner people In Alaska learn to patronize home institutions 1
which are working and aiding in the upbuilding of the country the better
it will be for Alaska and the more permanent will be its population.
There are too many who hare no permanent real estate or other interests
which will hold them to the country.—Ketchikan Chronicle.

For a long time the different localities of this District have
been backsliding into little hermit villages; there has been a
frightful lack of co-ordination. We have pulled at Congres
sional influence from every point on the compass, with the re

some dog teams we all know of: "Geeing” and “Hawing”
when the command was Straight Ahead.
The NUGGET wants a weekly news letter from every settle

and otherwise, and it wants the feelings and expressions of
your community tin the big issues confronting us all. If.

better paper. Buy it; read it, and send us your suggestions
as to how to belter it. We would like to be a perfect mirror
of the Peninsula’s thoughts and desires. This will require
teamwork.
Just laying back there in your cabin, grumbling and growl
ing to yourself wont help any. Clear, constructive criticism,
though, when given the light of day may accomplish wonders.
Get together. Appoint someone in your community as cor
respondent and let the World know you haven't hibernated for
the winter. We might suggest that your local school teach

newspaper for all that it does not

I publish, hut. if the paper fails to
appear they protest and want to
know the reason why. The people
who do the most condemning are
usually the ones who DO NOT SUB
