Perhaps that is the reason why these Alaskan shooters don't pay any attention to our champ lonships. They have pretty big country of their own up there, and nearly every man there is able to han de his automatic with more than the ordinary degree of skill. Perhaps they believe that there is enough honor in winning the Nome trophy But 1t is shame that the long trip from Nome to the American trapshooting champion ship Is not practicable-it would be a rare treat to witness contest between these Arctic champions and our own.-- The Sportsmens Review

 There are several clubs and other organizations.
 Telegraph communication is furnish ed by the land line and wireless service, maintained by the federal government. There is also an excellent telephone system to all parts of the Peninsula and practically every mining camp is in constant touch with the metropolis
 The city of Nome is situated on Der ing seq, about midway of the southern shore limo of Seward Peninsula. The town derives its name from the pro mintory some few miles to tho east known as Cape Nome and, in a popular sense. the name has been given to the whole territory.
 Nome is in every respect modern up-to- date city. having most of the conveniences. and is also the second city in Alaska.
 Previous 10 the great storm of 1913 the assessed valuation of the property of Nome was s1.799.S22.
 The present yearly assessment places the valuation at s1.6s5.507. a decrease in value which represents approximate ly the loss occasioned by the storm those of cities of much greater size
 AS Nome is the distributing point for over 22.000 square miles of territory the necessity of large and comprehen- sive stocks of goods is apparent.
 Probably no city in tho world of equal size can furnish such diverse assort- nsnt Of goods as is represented in the stocks of local houses.

When Delegate Wickersham was In Cordova, and in fact in a speech de- livered at Fairbanks, he stated that as soon as Congress convened he in tended to introduce bill appropri- - ating $10,000,000 for the construction of government railroads in Alaska in timating that this would be an admin istration measure. which would likely meet with little opposition. If the tele gram published in our contemporary last night is to be relied on Secretary Lane is only going to ask for 5000 900 for this work during the coming year. which amount. 1t says will be sufficient to buy the Alaska Northern and build one hundred miles of ad- ditional track from Kern Creek As the Alaska Engineering Commission has not as yet submitted it's report. and President Wilson has announced no decision as to the route or routes selected the latest rumor as to where the first work will begin must be talk en with a grain of salt-Cordova Daily Times

 trapshootins to an organization Of practically all the sportsmen on the great Seward peninsula. Ii is now the rendezvous of all the crack shots of that section, and it is safe to say that no other trapshooting club in this country has such a large percentage of expert marksmen in it's membership.
 The season just closed has been marked by the keenest rivalry, and the scores made compare favorably with the records made by the best shots in the world. As q club il would be a very difficult matter to find one with a better average score. week in and week out Yet this is not so strange when one considers that hunting is q part of the lives of the men who live up North Their dearest possessoin is their shooting equipment it offers practically their only source of relaXa @ ton from the daily grind of work.
