Nome Owes fits
 Name To A
 Clerk S Mistake

Since the fire at Nome September l7th, 1894, the City of Nome has re- ceived much widespread publicity. History of it's rise, following the gold strike, and accounts of the fam ous people who came here seeking a fortune were dug out of the past and reprinted Several stories have been printed in the Nome Nugget, clipped from other papers, as to how Nome got it's name.
 Here is another story from the Valdez Miner, Valdez, Alaska
 Many persons have wondered how Nome came to get it's name An arti- cle in the files of The Miner Feb ruary 12, 1911 gives the story
 "A drafting clerk in the office of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, has confessed that he quite unintention- ally enriched geography with the musical monosyllable No one. he says, was more surprised than when l saw the name on the map. It happened this way
 When the rush to the north took place on the discovery of rich gold deposits on the Klondyke River, the Government found il necessary to make more complete maps of the country Surveying parties were hurried to the field and as fast as their notes and plats were sent to Washington they were turned in tC us. There were many parties in toe field and the maps were being con tinually called for by gold seekers Hence for some months ouI. office was rushed night and day.
 Tt fell to my lot to draft a map of the Alaskan Coast that runs south east from Boring Strait. The map was to be made from the field notes and plats sent by surveying parties in the district Such notes and plats always contain the names of promin- ent mountains, capes inlcts and the like.
 In making the tracing of the coast down from Boring Strait I came ac- ross a headland for which no notes or plates furnished a name Con sequently l made a pencil note at the point, putting the word Name after it thinking that the chief when he edited the map would put in a name if 1t had one or would make up one if it did not In the hurry of the work and due I presume to the fact that my letter as look like 'o's, the matter was passed by the revisers and my map sent to the engravers in that shape.
 Imagine my astonishment when I looked over a stack of maps just

Relief Workers To Build Roads
 For Ketchikan

] Two substantial projects in the way of street and road improvements are to be started, and three other projects are to get under way at the same time with emergency relief workers, according to the Ketchikan Chronicle of recent date. West second street will be extended from its present terminus at Park Street to intersect Madison street which is beyond the city limits, and a road is to be built from Charcoal boulevard extending into a region occupied by several homesteadcrs north of the city.
 A crew will also be put to work clearing and improving the city re creation grounds and another will be started in Wacker to improve the public school grounds and property there.
 One block of Young street, which is of plank construction, is to be replaced with a fill. Fifteen men will be employed in this project and a crew of 50 is to work on West Second Street.
 Twenty men residents of the Ward cove district, are to be employed in Wacker school improvement pro ject. This project includes clearing the school grounds, installing a wat CT system for the school and laying a sewage system.
 Fifteen men will be occupied in building the road to the homestead properties with implements and equipment needed in the work furn- ished by the residents benefited by the improvement.
 This road has been sought by the homesteaders for some time. Con Struction is to continue for an inde- finite period in order to complete as much of the road as is possible, ac- cording to Courtney Howard, engin- eer in charge of the emergency re- lief work
 The recreation park improvement will share a crew of l35 men with other nearby projects The latter includes the Woodland avenue fill and the North Harris street fill Woodland avenue will be finished ir a short time while the North Har- ris street fill will require a month or so.
 Instructions left for the local en- gineer in charge of relief projects specify a preference for civic inn provement projects such as the building or rebuilding of the school ground sites and recreation grounds.
 Following this MT. Howard an nounced plans are to be completed for the construction of a swimming pool at the recreation park This will follow other improvements.

Mclean Is Consistent.

NUR best golf just now is played in
~ Scotland, especially the west of
Scotland, whence come two of
our brightest hopes, Jack Mclean and
Hector Thompson. Mclean unques-
tionably has been our leading anna
teur for some time and he is amaz-
1ngly consistent and successful.
In Australia last Winter Mclean
excelled himself and his play in the
Melbourne championship was bril-
liant. Yet he is not great driver,
as driving goes nowadays, and If he
Is to be beaten it will be by somebody
who can annihilate him partially in
point of length. On the other hand,
continually he is placing his iron
shots very near the pin, and that
makes it awkward for those who have
to follow.
Hector Thompson is younger and
has not accomplished nearly so much,
but he has it in him to be the greater
player because he has that little bit
of extra length which Mclean lacks.
Oddly enough, he plays with those
exceedingly springy clubs which
usually are deemed the props Of age
rather than youth, but they seem to
suit him perfectly.
OF the English players 1t Is harder
to pick out any one or two as obvious
challengers. The English champion
ship has been won for the second
time in three years by John Woollam.
He can play beautiful golf, but he has
not yet convinced people that he Is
the man for the big occasion. The
golf in the final between him and
Eric Fiddian was very poor and
scrambling.

golfer, but can he avoid those patches?
That is the question.
Finally, must not forget one great
golfer who comes neither from the
United States, England, Scotland nor
Ireland, and that is Ross Somerville
of Canada, former American cham
pion. A team Of 10 Canadian golfers
has arrived herc to play in various
matches and also, of course, in the
championship, and Somerville is the
flower Of that flock.
If he is as good as he was two
years ago, and if the draw so wills
it, there might well be a transat-
lantic final, America VS.. Canada,
Lawson Little and Ross Somerville.
There could not be better one,
though I am patriotic enough to hope
the finalists may come from our side
of the water.
