 The Howell saw mill, which was installed recently on an island in the Tanana river ten miles below Nenana, began saving lumber on December 27, and the indications are that it will be kept very busy ior the next several months. A road is being built between the mill and Nenana, and as soon as this is ready Mr Howell will put several teams to hauling lumber to Nenana to fill orders that have already accumulat, ed. The lumber will be delivered on the ground where needed, and a large storage shed will also be established on the river front, near the Nonana steam laundry, where MT. Howell has secured a strip of ground.
 A little later In the season the new mill will be operated day and night, giving it an output of 10000 feet or more every 24 hours. MT. Howell spent several days at the dill during the week and reports hat everything is now in splendid 5ork,ng order.

Nenana News: The town of Ne mana has a population at the present time of approximately 600. including the employees of the Alaskan En- gineecing commission and others who make the town their headquarters. The census was taken during the week by L. R. Ebert. of the local town i.e office and the figures are to be forwarded by ToWnsite Mana ge.' Ryu3 to the headquarters of the land and industrial department at Anchorage.
 An effort was made by MT. Ebert t. ascertain the number of lodge members residing in the town. but the result was not as satisfactory as it vas hoped it would be because of the temporary absence of many .Csilcnts. Sufficient data was gath e.ed. how ever, to show that the

Seattle golf critics believe that in eighteen-year-old Clarence Griswold hey have the makings of a future champion of the United States. Gris- wold for six or eight years was em- ployed as a caddie on the links Of the Seattle Golf club. Two year. ago he entered his first tournament, when he easily defeated all the othe. caddies who worked with him. The next year, playing in improved form. he duplicated the feat, and at the same time his playing was such that it attracted the attention of the club members.
 Last season he entered the Pot latch championship. the big annual golf event of the northwest. and finished fourth in a field composed # the best golf talent of that part # the country. With his eight years of close association with the game, the youngster has a working know ledge and an experience that few older men possess. He is said tc have an ideal golfing temperament, being cool and unavoidable at every stage of the game.
 He thinks the game out for him self, and some of the conclusions he has arrived at are interesting. Here are some of them:
 Don't use too heavy clubs.
 Practice alone; not in competition
 Use few clubs. and use them well.
 Don't overdo 1t and get stale.
 Play naturally.

NEW R|NC RULE

 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The rule which obtains in amateur boxing con tests calling for a decision for one man or the other and which precludes the referee from awarding draw decision, has come in for consider able discussion of late. and argu- mcnts have been advanced both for Ind agalnst the ruling. The op.ni ons expressed by men who have been prominently identified with the sport in an official capacity are given here.

The coin turned up heads and Hughes won he championship; but to this day believe Baird was just as much entitled to it as Hughes"
 Herbert A. Hauser, for years sec retary of the Pacific Association branch of the A. A. U, says;
 Amateur boxing is by no means the same as the pIOIeSSlOudl SpOIl The knockout that figures so promi nently with the professionals is not desired and Is not sought for. Anna teur boxing is aimed to show clever ness and skill. Judges who are awake to their work ought to be able to tell the difference in the score of points between two boys in the ring and as a rule I do not be lieye there is any hardship in giv ing what may appear a shade de cision."

 f experience in judging and referee ng amateur bouts, says:

Don't copy another's style.

In explaining h.s first suggestion Gri W Jld says that many make the mistake of choosing clubs which are altoge her too heavy. lie uses Ia dies cllbs altogether. although this is an exception 10 the rule.
 Many make the mistake of playing to win-and not to improvc-the youngster thinks. He believes that couple of hours of good, hard practice driving or putting is of more benefit than ten match games.
 He adyises conscientious work while playing. but not too much of it. He thinks many prospective tournament players spend too much time on the links.
 Grswold does not think the young player benefits much by attempting to copy the strokes of famous play CTS. Get the correct form, he ad- vises. but do not attempt to play unnaturally.
 Griswold, different than most golf CTS, has no pet stroke or club. He ties to play all well. When he falls behind in one department of the game. he starts to build up the weak department.
 He has what experts call the ideal golfing temperament. He plays a hot the same way every time
 hother Tn practice or whether the hamp.onship depends upon it's sue ess. It is this advantage which 5cal followers of the game believe ill make young Griswold a golfing star.

Have you ever noticed the jar. the vibration, and the rattle of your Ford when you start or stop, you probably nave. and thought that this was one of the things that comes with a Ford and could not be helped; but not so. This is caused by the fabric on the brake bands becoming glazed, and hard that is only natural It makes your rear axle jump up, and down. and the whole car shakes, and clatters every time you press on the foot ped als.
 This feature can be remedied, by having The Brophy Garage put in a set of cork insert brake Things. We guarantee to eliminate this condition besides giving You about 30 per cent longer wear. In some cases a set of these Cork Insert Bands have been known to last 40 to 50 thousand miles, they will save you repair bills. Let the Brophy Garage put in a set for you. Adv 20
