1 WONDER HOW MANY of our good citizens have b«en for a
visit to the local cometary lately. I am almost convinced without second
thought on the matter, that few if any have been to view the delapidated
condition existing in the local cemetery at the present time.
In this same column there appeared an article on th* same
subject, but it was evidently of no consequence. If there is a human ;
being in the city of Nome who can walk thru the cemetery now without
being shocked at the neglected condition of the graves there, th-a that
person is not human. As was stated before the city plot seems to he
in worse condition of any, but that is not saying anything for the other
plots, the amount of work done on any one plot is not of enough valup
to make comment on. The city fathers are responsible for 'he upkeep
of that part of the cemetery aMoted to the city for their use. Something
should be done and done at once. Would it not. maketone’- flesh crawl
to think he or she had to remain in one of those dark boles for ever
with the dirty muddy water gathered all around.
The corpse knows nothing of that it Is a certainty, but you and I
and everyone else can realize it, death might be pleasant in some in
stances, but when one knows their last resting place would be in a place
Where the mud is knee deep and the water stands over the grave, Ugh’ it
makes one shudder. LET US FIX OUR CEMETERY THE NEXT
THING WE UNDERTAKE.
BOOST HOME 1NDUHTRY
CRITICS TEEL US it is not good form to repeat too often that
which has been told already, but there are sonie things that can be told
and retold to a big advantage to many. For instance there has been
many articles written on "Why everybody should patronize home indus
try.” Thousands of reasons could be advanced why home industry
should receive the support of those in the immediate neighborhood of
said industry, but when all these reasons are gone over and boiled down,
so to speak, they constitute a few reaspns meaning the same thing. A
subject so clear as this one does not necessitate a lengthy discussion to
convince any one of the validity of the subject.
No doubt many of the readers of this article remember a couple
of years ago when posted in all the street cars there were placards
boosting the neighborhood merchant and telling in large type, reasons
why one should patronize the corner grocery or other kind of store, among
many reasons given, there was one that seemed to remain in the mind
of the writer when others had faded from memory, it read something
like this: If you had no neighborhood grocery in your community,
how long would it take you to make a small purchase, say a package of
tea which ' you had just realized you needed at a moments notice?
Without the convenience of the neighborhood store you would have to
call the large store down town and then how long does it generally take
to get an article delivered unless you pay for special delivery? When
one stops to think of the inconvenience this would cause the reason is very
plain to anyone why the neighborhood store should have the support
of everyone.
Nome may not have what is termed in large cities as neighborhood
stores, but the fact remains Just the same, unless we patronize home
industry we cannot expect home industry to patronize us. A certain man
who does most of hfs business thru outside mail order houses stepped
into a store and asked for a package of Chesterfield cigarettes, the mer
chant knowing of this man doing most all of his* business with outside
houses determined to show this customer where he was wrong, so when
theTcustomer asked for the cigarettes he was told very politely that the,
store did not handle tobacco, the customer replied in an injured tone,
that was why he did business With outside houses, ‘‘you people,” he said
“never keep what a man wants.” The merchant replied with a smile
that if evefy one would give him their business instead of sending it
away from the home town he could handle many lines of merchandise
which he did not handle at that time. is not that a good ^rgument,
if you send outside for your clothing or other merchandise then how d<>
you expect our merchants to conduct clothing stores, or handle any
thing else one might want to purchase. Do away with the Sears-Roe
buck ^nd the Montgomery, Ward *v catalogues and get behind v-ur
heme town merchant and help him to h» !p every one else, help the *‘om
munity at large. BOOST ANYTH INC THAT COMBS FROM NOME
AND SHOW YOUR CONSISTENCY MV PURCHASING YOUR SUPPLIES
AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM NOME MERCHANTS.
And now that we have d.scumed that phase, of the consumer
patronizing home industry, it would not he amiss to say. Mr. Merchant
and other business men, do not forget, your home town paper wants
your advertising and job work. Th'- home town paper is an essentia
part of every community, its pres- is needed by the merchants a«
much and perhaps even more so than the reader who does not advertise.
When that job work you need conns up do not forget there is a plant
being maintained in your home town that is entitled to your business.
LOOKING “AT” ALASKA.
Various congressional and o'n.-r official parties from the National
Capital have been in Seward this summer looking over Alaska with a view
to determining the kind of legislation the Territory needs, says th**
Seward Gateway in a recent editoriu> which is as follows: None of these
parties take sufficient time for the.r investigations to see a small part of
Alaska. They merely look •"AT” it as they go through. They touch a
few points and Journiy a short distance to the Interior and return believ
ing they know Alaska.
The great trouble is that not many persons, even those living
here, really know Alaska. It is a country s« vast, and its interests are
so diversified and so remote from each other that years of travel and in
quiry are needed to understand Alaska's needs, and by this time it must
be done all over again. The matter of interviewing Alaskans does not
produce dependable information, as what is good for one section is the
reverse in another. It is therefore noticeable by those visiting us that
Alaskans are not in accord as to the Territory’s needs.
Most Alaskans see only the requirements of their particular sec
! tions and if those needs seem to conflict with the needs of other sections
the tendency is to scoff at the other section's claims and send th** investi
! gators back badly muddled in their opinions, with the feeling that Alas
j kans do not know just what they want.
uuisiue impel," are i eiuai
and Congressman Lin Hadley, who are now
Unalga, will have a better opportunity of
official parties; which n<» doubt they wM
I'nalga at its disposal, and will be able v

The party has the cutter

They will go far to the north and west, as well as to the Interior anil
should understand with great clearness the larger questions. On the
other hand they will know little ,.f the requirements of Alaska othet
than those of the Third Division, the Second and Fourth Divisions being
other countries with different customs, different manner of living and
different resources and requirements.
Like Russia, Alaska is an enigma. Its resources are vast beyom
comprehension. The nation ha," produced nearly four hundred mlllior
in gold and a greater amount in fish the past quarter century, and it
resources are barely scratched over. Our riches up to within the pas1
two years have been locked up by Impractical regulations made on th*
plea of conservation, but in reality stifling enterprises. We have mil
lions of tons of coal, yet we are importing coal from Canadian mines; w<
can raise anything necessary in the vegetable 1
vegetables from Seattle. Our food supplies, our clothing, our tools am
implements and «»ur household goods come from the States, despite th<
fact that as fine flax can be grown here as in Ireland. Even our parka:
are imported, as well as our fur caps and gloves. We have vast tract!
of timber, and pay a high rate for outside lumber. We have an unlimit
e.d supply .if the finest meats and buy from the States. Even our pilinj
for our wharves comes from Puget Sound, although we have th*» finest pi 1
itig timber in the world.
Law makers at Washington are so penurious in
ations to Alaska, as to be almost miserly. Many of the
