THE NOME TRI-WEEKLY NUGGET, WEDNESDAY JULY 30. 1919.
NOME HAS JUST COMPLAINT
government expenditures wherever possible, Nome is justly entitled to enter
is true that the nation is hearing an Immense burden of indebtedness which
necessitates close retrenchment in order to relieve the heavy taxation now
testing upon the shoulders of the people. To avoid the great interest charges,
it is also necessary to pay oft the principal as rapidly as possible; and this also
Considering the matter only from this standpoint, the government
probably assumes the view that the retention of Ft Davis ns a military station
part of the national domain. The fact that it costs twelve hundred dollarsi
a year to maintain a soldier at the local post is the thing that appeals to the
bo afforded by their presence.
To the eyes of the departmental Phiefs there^ probably appears little i
riom Washington and possessing little influence in national affairs, the town
and district are undoubtedly beyond the pale of official cognizance except when
attention is directed to their existence by the official reports or by some j»olitieal
disturbance among the federal representatives. The prospects are that the
latter provide the largest reason for the government knowing that Nome and
the Second Division are on the map at all.

of tlie time the settlement Is locked In the frosty bonds of winter anti is prac.
tically devoid of all but the most elementary forms of industry. Nome, on
the other hand. Is one of the most important gold producing centers of ’the
territory; a commercial port of more than nominal consequence and possesses
a wide range of industries which continue throughout the year. Furthermore
it is situated only a short distance from alien anil possibly hostile shores and
if deprived of military protection will be wide open to the ravages of hostility
A sloop load of Bolsheviks, for Instance, might easily cross from Siberia in a
few hours, murder the bulk of the population and loot the city, before a de
tachment of troops could even gel fairly started from St Michael.
We know not what motives animated the recommendation of General
Morrison for the abandonment of Ft Davis, but If he was proceeding from the
standpoint of military need or expediency and with due regard for the actual
considerations Involved In his .act. he assuredly made a great mistake in not
recommending that Ihe St Michael post lie transferred to Nome, instead of Ihe
contrary. Only by assuming that his recommendation was made without
the slightest knowledge of the situation or a total disregnnt'of the ostensible
purposes of maintaining troops in the territory, can his net be accounted for;
If he had devoted a little time to investigating the relative Importance
of Nome and .St Michael with respect to military value and protective need's
instead of giving Nome the go-by and secluding himself aboard the steamer
Victoria, ho might easily have ascertained the truth of Nome’s contention that
it is the ono point on the entire peninsula where military protection Is needed
if anything untoward develops.

FRENCH UNIONISTS
TAKE DRASTIC WAY
OF REDUCING PRICES
Special to The Nugget by The Associated Press.
HARVE, France, July -9—Officials of the Federal Trades Unions took
drastic measures to secure a lowering of the exorbitant prices charged for food
supplies today by going to the wholesale markets anti obliging the producers to
sell them a quantity of food stuffs at prices varying from five to seventy five
percent under the current market rates.
The committee then took the supplies to the public markets and sold
them at cost. The result of the operation was a general reduction in several
lines of food commodities heretofore held at highly inflated figures.
