The Nome nugget., 1928-06-02

HENRY BURGH. of the Nevada, returned this morning from a plea- sure trip to Solomon. He used an Eskimo skin boat. of the large type; called 'oomiak," using an Elto outboard motor for power. The craft looked like a Chinese pirate vessel coming up the coast, so our informer states, and has the speed that no other boat in this vicinity can equal. The time from Solomon to Nome is said to be something over one hour.
 UP TO THE HOUR OF going to press today. no word had been re- ceived as to what had become of the three planes and men who left Fairbanks for Barrow nearly three weeks ago. Another plane was to be dispatched from Fairbanks the later part of this week. but noth- ing further has been learned of its movements. The publisher of the Nugget has wired it's Kotzebue cor respondent to keep us informed of all movements of planes arriving and departing and to lose no time in forwarding any information of interest.

Congressional Country Club
is enjoying i smothered laugh
today at the expense Of its

BIZ left the club with pockets
fairly bu!ging and the satisfied

Charles l.. Hatfield, who was en-
listed as scorekeeper.
Tommy and Walter want into a
I1uddle from which they emerged
with the announcement that Wal
ter's club would be a cleek-putter.
This stick is an excellent sub
stitute for several others hut it's
almost dead loss when one needs
pitcher or niblick.
McCalum demonstrated on the
first tee that Ullman would have
no advantage on the drive. He
outsocked Bill as a starter. ami
kept it up throughout. Some OF
his tee shots whistled UP the
alley as far and true as though
hit With regular driver.
But. even as Bill had pre-
dicted. Walter came to ruin
on the short holes. These he
was prone to 0yer-drive and
invariably he was shooting his
second from the rough. With
backspin nigh impossible and
regular roll-up shot almost
out of the question the one
stick artist was forced to shoot
in such manner that the ball
would carry at least to the edge
of the green.
The green's were hard. The ball
ran across them like thing in

dizzy watching Walter chase the
pellet back and forth. And when
Walter got into bunkers-
Oh, well, he was thoroughly
licked at the end of nine holes.
His score at that point was 81!

to pay off then and there on the
