ADVENTUROUS GREEK CAUSES
 ALL NIGHT SEA SEARCH

Believed to have drifted to sea in Il frail skin without compass or adequate means of navigation, Antonio Lepri. Il Greek resident was the unwilling cause of q fruitless all night sea search by the coast guard and tug Genevieve |. Tuesday night. Lepri. who is q brother of John Lepri. proprietor of the Milo Cafe, recently arrived from Seattle to visit his bother. Thursday afternoon he decided to try his luck on the briny deep. The weather was calm and warm and everything looked lovely to Lepri. He secured ram shackle skin composed of few blanks with bottom of odds and ends, hoist ed an improvised sail. and with an oar for rudder sailed merrily off to the southward dreaming of wild adven- lures on the raging main. A few hours later his sail had disappeared below the southern horizon. Failin' to return in proper season. news of his foolhardy exploit was carried to the Coast Guard and aroused that gallant organization into speedy action. Ow- ing to the Defiance being temporarily marooned in Snake River by low wat CT on the bar, Capt Ross secured the services of the Genevieve in an effort to find the errant Lepri. By this time it was almost dark. The tug secured the sea for miles to the southward but saw no sign of the supposed castaway. A strong wind from the North aas throwing up heavy seas and .te sur vival of Lepri and his cocl,leshell boat looked doubtful. The tug proceeded to Sledge Island in response to the solitary hope that he had somehow eluded the dangers of the sea and found safety on it's rocky shores. Af- ter circling the island, whistle blowing and lights Haunting an invitation to Lerri to make his presence known. II was decided that Antonio had prob
 'i. p.ia the penalty of his foolhardi-
 r't h' hccnming T guest of the fishes. l;e lzins the futility of further search
 thetug was headed homeward and ar rived early Wednesday morning. The news spread and condolences were in order. But Antonio either packs q rabbit foot in his jeans or is one of fortunes favored children. Wednes- day evening the launch Traveller ar rived from Sinrock and lowed con- placently in her wake was the adven- turous Greek gentleman and his gal lant bark. According to his story h.. spent Tuesday night on Sledge Island but went to sleep and saw nothing of the Genevieve. Wednesday morning he decided he was pretty hungry and concluded to strike out for the distant mainland. As the wind was blowing oh shore his sail was useless and he was forced to row. After hours of strenuous battle with wind and tide he managed to reach Cape Rodney, where he was picked up by the Tray eiler The skin was almost gone from the palms of his hands as result of his rowing endeavors but he was other wise none the worse for his careless ness.

Pursuant to resolutions passed by the organization Wednesday, the Nome Chamber of Commerce has inaugural. ed a campaign to secure an all Alas. ka endorsement of the McFadden bill. granting a bonus of slO per ounce to producers of virgin gold.
 Not only will an effort be made to secure the signature of every resident of the Second Division, to a monster petition to Congress. but the campaign will also be carried into the three re- maining territorial divisions. Copies Chamber of Congress and civic organ ization in Alaska, as well as to every newspaper in the territory. The re- cipicnts will he requested 10 secure the signatures of everyone in their dis and do all in their power to secure passage of the bill. Copies of the
 
 to Representative McFadden. author of the bonus bill; to the Alaska dele Representatives and Senate from the Pacific coast states and such others as may be in q position to help secure the bills passage.
 In the view of Chamber of Com merce members the campaign will have q far reaching effect and assist materially the efforts made by the American Mining Congress and other organizations to secure a bonus on vir- gin gold.
 The resolution endorsing the Me- Fadden bill is an interesting document which sets forth in decidedly effective manner the reasons why the gold in- dustry has languished in this section, giving comparative costs of supplies at present and during earlier periods and pointing out that by reason of .hs increased costs the purchasing power of an ounce of virgin gold has shrunk from about $17 to something like s7. The full text follows:
 WHEREAS it has come to our at- tention that there is now pending in the Congress of the United States d bill known as the McFadden Bill. and being H. R. 13.2O1. having for it's ob- ject the securing of bonus to the pro- ducers of virgin gold of $lO co per ounce. and
 WHEREAS the Second Division of the Territory of Alaska is dependent to n very great extent upon its gold mining industry. which industry has greatly languished for Il considerable time past and is now. because of the great advance in cost to the miner of all the commodities necessary to carry on his work, as evidenced by the fact that

To the. beginner in golf the first
problem is in the selection of clubs
1t has always been my idea that be-
fore the embryo player places his
money in clubs he should take a few
lessons from professional, who can,
the size and weight of sticks adapted
to the physical makeup of the pupil
The necessary golf clubs are:
Brassy.
Spoon.
Mid-iron.
Mashie.
Niblick.
Putter.
You'll notice I do not suggest q
driver. There is a reason for that
The driver is a difficult club to master
The beginner should do his first driv-
more loft and the ball takes the air
with little effort. This instiIls con-
fidence into the player and his tee
shots are easier to conquer.
On the fairway I suggest the spoon
The spoon is the simplest of wooden
clubs 1t digs deeply under the ball
and picks it out of more hazardous
lies. Also it has considerable distance
and enables the new player to realize
the value of the wood club on the
fairway- It prepares him for the
brassy as the brassy paves the way
for the driver.
The mid-iron is the club that does
the work between the brassy and the
mashie. If the shot is too short for
the brassy Cor the spoon) and is too
long for the mashie, the mid-iron is
brought into play The mid-iron is
the favorite iron club for the average
player
The mashfe is an all around stick.
It will pull the player from the tall
grass, it viii send the ball soaring
to the green and it will serve as the
long or short approaching club.
The nibHck should always be handy
for the man in trouble. In the sand
pits. in the hazards or in dropping the
bail dead on the approach the niblick
is indispensa bic
The putter, of course, is absolutely
necessary on the greens.
Later, when the player has become
thorOly acquainted with the above
named six clubs he may add the
driver, the mashie-niblick and the ap-
preaching iron to his collection.
Don't change your clubs after you
many golfers make is to become dis
gusted with a stick and buy a new
one. The player should make the
proper selection first and stick to it.
1t is better for his game-and his
poeketbook.
Golfers place great confidence in
their clubs. And the proper conf
dence in a stick when you take it from
the bag is one of the real assets to a
ners should not rush frantically to a
stock of clubs and buy them indis-
criminately and rashly.
Buy your clubs wisely, learn them
carefully and diligently and they will
serve their purpose with you loyalty.

manner to the pleasure Of the game
among the players. Nelson and How
ard form an ideal pair to handle in
struction, clubs and caddies. The
Country club never was in such good
shape as this season"
Topekans who play at both the
Shawnee and Country clubs find the
value of the ability to avoid slices and
hooks. At the Country club a hook
is not a serious hazard. The ball will
stay somewhere within the course if
it takes a lefthand curve. But with
a slice there are fouV holes where the
ball will go out of bounds-No. 1, No.
8, No. and No. 5. Not only does the
ball go out of bounds but it usually
means another dollar contributed to
the cause of the sport. On the Shaw
nee courses the slices stay on the links
| but on No. l. No. and No. a bad
hook will send the ball out of bounds.
When the Country club enlarges the
course to eighteen holes it is planned
to make the additional nine take care
