alarm was caused by a shingle fire de

In response to numerous queries
regarding the passenger list of the

nounce to its readers that the list will
be published within a day or two foi •
lowing the departure of the steamer
from Seattle. This has been the cus
tom of this journal in the past and al
though therm is much curiosity regard
ing who is coming, the fact that there
are invariably some who will change
their minds about foming or not
coming by the time the steamer sails '
make it inadvisable to have the list
forwarded from Seattle until after the
vessel departs. Then and then only
can an accurate list be presented.

who have failed so far to do anything
residence districts which should re
ceive the attention of the city atithori
and Relief Committee of th- Common
Council has given notice to property
owners along the beach side of Front
Street to clean up their back yards and
could probably extend th - warning in
other directions as there are always
those to whom the observance of
cleanliness is a matter of trifling mo
ment. Dirt and tilth constitute ‘he
l»oor st possible form of advertising
for the community and those who have
even mediocre regard for the decencies
should find it good business to help
place the city in the cleanliest condi
tion possible.
In this connection it may be well
to suggest to certain business property
owners that the appearance of their
premises would be greatly improved If
the old political signs and advertising
posters in the display windows of un
occupied stores were removed. Some
of these are several years old and can
hardly fail to create a decidedly poor
impression of Nome In the minds of
strangers who observe them.
BASE BALL CONTESTS

Saturday night’s return base bell

improver! brand of base ball as .1 re

Navy team were- unable to hold their
own against the veteran ball tossers
of ‘he Nome nine and again bit the
dust after a decidedly interesting
game. The score was 25 to 18 in
favor of Nome. The blue and khaki
bunch put up a stiff battle during the
middle innings but played ragged ball
at both ends of the contest. Their
team work showed a vast improvement
over that of the first contest but the
aggregation almost as a whole was
lamentably weak with the willow and
McGuire's tossing proved a trying
I puzzle to all bu‘. one or .two of them.
The Nome team played steadily
throughout, with occasional spurts of
snappy ball that kept them well In
the lead throughout the contest.
The juvenile Bantam's fared no
letter than the Army and Navy 'n
their match with the Buffaloes, de
spite the intense rivalry developed by
their- first defeat. The lad's played
the game for all it was worth through
out tlva seven innings and kept the fans
on edge with frequent bursts of speed.
