Woodmen Jubilee.

About seventy-five people took
advantage of the forty cent rate
to Canon last evening to attend
a piano jubilee given by Gate City
camp No. Is.
Florence camp No. 3S and Paci-
fic Circle No. 80, attended from
here in body, and were met at
the depot in Canon by No. Is, and
escorted to the Workmen hall,
headed by Peabody's Military
band. A program was then rem
dered, consisting of songs, recita-
tions and instrumental selections,
each mum Der being we'll received.
Head Consul F. A Falkenburg
was present and made short ad-
dress on the rapid strides of the
Woodmen of the World and Ladies
of Woodcraft. He pointed out the
advantages of the Woodmen over
similar organizations and present
ed figures showing the enormous
amount of money paid to widows
and orphans by the Woodmen of
the World during their short ex-
istence OF ten years. Mr.. Falken-
burg is an interesting talker and
generally managed to keep the
crowd in good humor by an oc-
casional joke.
After the program was finished
supper was announced, and the
announcement was endorsed by
500 or 600 hungry Woodmen. The
spread was fine and the assort-
ment was very good, consisting of
turkey, chicken, ham, bread, cake
and coffee, with bananas, oranges
and apples to "top off" with.
How is that for an assortment?
The jubilee wound up with a
dance, and at l;30 the Florence
crowd returned home more than
pleased with the trip, and loud in
their praise of the royal entertain
ment afforded them by Gate City

REAL MERITS OF BOGIE PLAY.
The real merits of the bogie plan are not
far to seek. Probably we are all agreed
that the match is the thing, the real
game while score play is but device for
comparing the results Of many comped-
tors playing at the same time. The more
nearly we can approximate the conditions
of the game to the conditions Of match
play without losing the advantage Of be-
Ing able to compare results of many who
are playing simultaneously, so much the
better. There are very few who will dis
pute this position And, so much granted,
It has not yet been shown that there is
any other plan than ''bogie" play which
achieves the desired end Of comparison of
many simultaneous players and yet keeps
so many Of the match play characters
tics One of those chief characteristics
is that at each hole you play against your
opponents score. 1t is not matter of
the reckoning proceeds 1t Is so, too, with
totals at the end. 1t Is hole by hole that
bogie play. 1t is true that you do not see,
stroke by stroke, what you are likely to
have to beat at each hole, as you see each
stroke of an opponent, but, on the other
hand, you know even more exactly
where you are" so to say, for whereas a
mortal opponent by running down a
twenty-yard put or missing a twenty-inch
one may defeat all your calculations with
"bogte" You know exactly what You have
to do at each hole to equal or beat him.
He is no fiuker. even as he is no foozler
In so far, then. boyle gives you even a
fairer test than a mortal foe
There is an element of the play by
match that is incidentally absent-the
moral. man-to-man. magnetic, or what
ever else you like to call 1t, quality The
explanation is subtle enough, but the
fact Is very certain that when two men
meet who are equal in golfng skill he
who Is the Drawer, the more resolute will
win. The aspect Of an opponent who car
ries an undaunted front and looks to be
winning, looks as If he meant to win, no
doubt has a great effect on a timerous
foe. More than this. 1t Is very hard for
a young man, one who is just entering on
his full golfing heritage, to play quite
his best against one who has regularly
beaten him, though at a steadily de-
It is this quality of match play that boyle
play does not give us. There is no moral
force, no magnetic quality about the
bogie business but in all other respects
what an excellent method 1t is. In play
by score there Is always this possibility
facing a man, that a single disastrous
hole, the result, perhaps, Of a single bad
stroke. or even, 1t may be, single piece
Of bad luck, may put him out OF the
running altogether, and so cripple his
chances that they may be past mending
by any future excellence of play, however
great. This is not quite as it should be;
this is not as 1t is in a match, nor as it
is in bogie play. In either Of the two

and respected. He did not see the joke
Of 1t, though he knew, and resented, the
fact that joke was meant-an English
joke. 1t was just like the English, who
did not understand golf to make jokes
on subject like golf, which the Scots
man, who did know it. respected far too
much to joke about at all. OF course the
joke did not shock English susceptible
ties. The goling susceptibilities of Eng
land were not so delicate as to be shocked
easily. England. therefore, was able to
look at this new plan of playing the
game without prejudice and examine 1t
on its merits. But In Scotland the thing
never had a chance of being tried on its
merits at all. 1t had been given bad
name, and nobody would give it any seri-
Gus consideration in consequence. 1t
might as well have been hung up, like a
suspended NJ P, at once. 1t could do no
good business.
There is very little doubt that this is
really the reason, rather fanciful though
1t may seem, that boyle play has had so
little vogue, comparatively speaking, III
Scotland. Nearly all tho bogie compet-
tions that are played, and there are many
of them, take place on the sunny side of
the border. Yet the method is as good
in the North as the South; 1t is only that
in the North people have not been abe
to form an unprejudiced judgment Of the
plan. or give it a fair trial, because pref
udice was aroused at once by the very

fault. More than that, you know exactly
where you are at each hole, so that you
have intervals Of respite like those which
you enjoy in match when you have your
opponent tight at a certain hole, or equal
ly when he has you tight, though in the
latter case 1t is the odium without the
dignttate that Is your portion. But you
are able to give UP the hole now and
again and play at your ease, anyhow you
like; or again. It does sometimes happen,
even with such a steady player as Boglc
for your opponent (and most delightful
1t Is when 1t occurs), that you find your
self in the blessed position Of having two
for the hole from an easy distance In
lily, feeling that you have your enemy IN
your grip. So there are intervals IN which
man can take breath. But in case of
the play by score there are no such mo-
ments, you are at the fullest stretch of
pains and attention all the way. There is
no stroke that does not count, every hole
has to be played out to its bitter end
there Is no rest for the harassed golfer
All this Is perhaps so much vain theory
and windy argument The better proof
of the pudding Is the eating, and taking
this line Of proof we find that 1t confirms
all theory absolutely, for where there are
bogie competitions and scoring competi-
tions 1t is the universal experience that
the members flock to the bog1e competi-
tons and enjoy them, while they accent
the scoring competitions Of necessity with

70 CAPE NONE
SURVEY OF THE ALASKAN AND
SIBERIAN LINE HAS BEEN
COMPLETED
OPEN THE RICH GOLD FIELDS
From Port Clarence, the Northern
Terminus, One Can See the
Shores of the Czar,s
Land.

PORT CLARENCE, Alaska, March TO-
A preliminary survey has been compiet-
ed by Messrs. Rutledge and Garside for
q standard gauge railroad to be known as
The Alaska and Siberian railroad" ex-
tending from Port Clarence on Behring
sea to Kaltag on the Yukon river, via
Nome City. Port Clarence furnishes the
only deep water harbor In this section
and Is only eighty-hYe miles northwest
OF Nome. This connection by rail with q
good and safe port will obyiate the ex-
pense and great discomfort Of lighterage
from ocean-going vessels In the heavy
surf. as well as the enormous expense
Of demurrage on account Of storms as
heretofore, to say nothing Of the danger
to human life. A conservative estimate
as to the cost Of lighterage, loss Of goods,
ETC., during the past season amounts to
something like s1.OOoOOO. The cost Of dis
charging the last cargo of the Roanoke
was $4,000. or $40 per ton, while the dis
charging of the sBertha's' cargo on her
final trip cost $40, 600. Hence the benefit
to be derived from this rail connection
with deep and safe harbor will be plain
ly seen. That such railroad will pay
from its completion Is beyond q doubt
since all Yukon travel will be thus di-
verted
From Port Clarence the railroad will
pass through rich and vast mining dis
tricts, the New Eldorado, the Sinook, the
Penny River, the Nome, the Port Safety,
the town of Bonanza District, which, by
the way, promises to be quite a city,
with a good harbor for small craft. thence
through the Fish river and Norton bay
district Of Kaltag. where It will connect
with Yukon steamers. This rail connec-
ton will greatly facilitate the transport
tation Of freight destined for up-river
points, to say nothing of the advantage
OF distribution Of supplies for the miners
all along the line. The shipment
of heavy mining machinery will also be
thus rendered possible, which has not
been the case heretofore,
Port Clarence, the proposed terminal OF
this line Of railroad, is only few miles
distant from Cape Prince Of Wales, which
is the most westerly portion Of the Unit
ed States territory, on the main land;
the latter being so far west in fact as to
be almost within hailing distance of the
extreme Eastern portion Of the main land
OF Russia, the shores of Siberia-separat-
ed from us only by Behring strait-being
plainly visible to the naked eye at this
particular point
GREAT RICHNESS OF THE REGION.
The richness and extent Of this great
Northwest country as a mining center
cannot be measured by the Klondike even
when Viewing the latter from its bright
est aspect. The news that has been
given to the world of the rich gold de-
posits in this section Of Alaska IS no
exaggeration and should not be regard
