sermon was among the most brilliant
pulpit discourses ever heard in Nome
and was listened to with rapt attention
by a large gathering. Pr. Marquis’
sermon topic was based on the great
unrest prevailing among the masses of
humanity at the present time and the
theme was handled in masterly manner
by the visiting divine.

The Victoria will come to Nome be
fore proceeding to St. Michael am
due to arrive early this evening. This
welcome announcement was made by
Agent Carroll of the Alaska Steamship
Company today, following the receipt
of radioes from the incoming liner
stating that she was 360 miles off
Nome at eight o’clock last night. Mr.
Carroll ordered the vessel to come to
Nome before going to St. Michael In
order to land the passengers and ex
press consignments, which include the
first class mails. The vessel will pro
ceed to St. Michael immediately after
at rival. Mr. Carroll’s action in caus
ing the steamer to call at Nome bef
St. Michael is being warmly commend
ed. as it avoids a long delay In the ar
rival of the mails from the States.

points shortly before midnight last

for St Michael before night. Skipper
Ira Rank reports the voyage an ex
tremely stormy one. with strong winds
prevailing during a great part of the

a sad fatality involving the death by
drowning of a small native girl occur
red while he was in that section. The
child was among the number of or
phaned native children who are being
cared for at the springs. With a
number of others, she was given per
mission to go in bathing in the river
and is supposed to have been carried
away by the current before help could
reach her.
The Warden says there Is little or
no salmon fishing going on In the Port
Clarence section. As the same condi
tion prevails along the greater part of
the coast east of Nome, he is inclined
to think that the fish are not running
to a great extent between Nome and
St. Michael this year, llis recent trips
have revealed that the catch is ab
normally light at ail points along this
section of the coast.

GREAT NORTHERN BOATS TO BE RETAINED
IN PACIFIC TRANSPORT SERVICE
Special to the Nome Nugget by The Associated Press:
NKW YORK. Aug. 23—Transport service officials announced today
that the government intends to retain the transport Great Northern and
Northern Pacific in permanent attachment to the transport service on the
Pacific.
Motif vessels have been assigned to service between San Francisco,
Honolulu. Manilla. Nagasaki. Guam and Vladivostok.
Owing to their fast speed the two vessels are expected to make the
run between Snn Francisco and Manilla In fifteen days, thus greatly improv
ing the present mail service between America and the Orient.
The two steamers were formerly In the passenger trade btween
Portland and *San Francisco.
FLEET SCHEDULED TO ENTER *>UGET SOUND SEPTEMBER »2TH
Special to the Nugget By the Associated Press.
SANTA. BARBARA. t*al. Aug. 23—Officials of the Pacific fleet, now
at this point, announced today that the fleet will £nter Puget Sound Sep
tember 12th.
with her annual custom and will prob
ably make another trip later.
Persons aboard tlie vessel express
the view that the remarkable ire con
ditions may prevent passage to the
Mackenzie river section this year un
less an early change occurs.
The cutter brought down a number
of the Bureau of Education school
teachers, who have wintered In the
Northern districts, including Mr. Mc
Guire. Assistant Superintendant of the *
Northwestern District, who is in charge
, t Kotzebue. The Bear also returned
to Nome the party of Presbyterian Mis
sion officials, consisting of Dr. John A.
Marquis D. D.. of New York. General
Secretary of the Presbyterian mission
work in the United States, and Mr.
Jns. H. Condi t, Superintendant of
Presbyterian missions in Alaska. The
two officials are on a tour of Inspec
tion of the various missions in this
section. Dr. Marquis is accompanied
h> his daughter. Mr. Condlt's head
quarters are at Juneau. The visitors
will return to the States on the next
southbound trip of the Victoria.
The inclination of many persons to
return their war savings stamps* since
the resumption of peace is attracting
tire attention of the government, which
is making an effort to prevent the
practice owing to the prospect that the
sales may necessitate the return of
funds that are .still greatly needed in
connection with .the restoration pro
In a copy of the Postal Bulletin re
cently received by Postmaster Walsh,
the Post office Department presents the
following urge to the public to retain
their stamps until eonditons are more
stahalized.
The article says: “Many owners of
stumps are presenting them for pay
ment, seemingly on. the assumption
that the Government no longer needs
the money received for them. While
it is true the war is practically at an
end. It is equally true that a large
part of the expenditures of the war
must still be met by the sale of War
Saving stamps and liberty-loan bonds.
The sudden termination of the war
left the Government involved in ex
penses that might in part have been
avoided If it had been known when the
war was to end, but of course it was
no: possible to anticipate this event.
The financial obligations of the war
must therefore continue for many
months. and the National Treasury
needs the money received from the
the sale of War Savings Stamps to aid
in meeting them. The expenses of
demobilizing the Army and Navy, the
return of our boys from France, the
cars of our sick and wounded soldiers,
and other liabilities .incident to the
war. all call for a continuance of the
same patriotic effort that the owners
of War Savings Starpps made during
the tragic struggle."
Although the practice has gained
n<< great headway here, Postmaster
Walsh is endeavoring to head off any
inclination toward the present return
of stamp#and has forwarded copies of

CHICHESTER S PILLS
the department statement to Candle,
Council, Fortuna Hedge. St Michael
and 1'nalakleet.
Writing to the Nugget from Pnaln
Icleet under date of August 3, that well
known old timer Thos A. Powers says
John Tilly and a couple of mining
partners from Marshal are prospectin
on the Sheriski River, a tributary of
[Jnalakl^et river, and claim they have
prospects sufficiently encouraging to
warrant taking in a years prospecting
outfit. The men say the formation
is very similar to that of Flat creek.
Mr Powers also states that brown
lwars have been creating havoc with
the reindeer industry in the I’nala
klect section this summer.. It is es
timated by some of the deer men that
the bears have killed close to one hun
dred deer, notwithstanding that the
herders are carrying arms and main
taining a close guardianship over thei
leer.
iir Power says Roy Ruck and a
native deer herder encountered one of
the bruin’s a few days ago. heading
him off when in thovact of making for
the herd. The native shot at a distance
cl' about one hundred feet with a
30-30 rifle but the only effect was to
iritate the bear and cause lilm to turn
dii the native. With a roar, the ani
mal headed for the native witji the
obvious intention of attacking. The
native was plucky and held his ground
but the animal was shot by Ruck be
fore lie could reach the Eskimo. Ac
cording to Mr Power the rifle used
by Buck was a 30-40 army gun and Its
impact was terlfflc. The ball struck
the hear on the foreshoulders and
ploughed its way entirely through the
huge body, shattering both shoulder
blades. The bear speedily gave up all
inclination for rctndeer meat along
with its life.
The letter also states that the
schooner Hazel of 1'nalakleet wae
recently sold J»y, her native owners
to Frank Willians of Bt Michael and
will he placed in the trading business
by her new owner. Williams contem
plates instating a twenty horse power
engine and will place the schooner
in fifst class shape.
