MINER TUMBLE5
TO HIS DEATH
DOWN 0REWAY

The first fatal mining accident in
Juneau in more than Is months this
morning claimed the life of Vincent
E. DeVere, 23-year-old bulldozer
worker in the Alaska Juneau Gold
Mine.
DeVere was killed instantly in a
fall down a 60-foot oreway leading
to the tramming level from the
intermediate level in the Persever-
ance section of the mine. DeVere
was working at No 484 chute, it was
reported, and fell through a grid
built to stop the largest rocks from
going down to the tramming level.
The accident victim was married
but recently to Gloria Edith White,
daughter of William White, former
Juneau postman, and granddaughter
of the Parker family at Gustavus.
He was born in North Bend, Wash
ington, and leaves to survive him a
brother and sister, both living in
Washington. Funeral services have
tentatively been set for 1890 am
Saturday, at the Charles W. Carter
Mortuary.
Although a large crew of mine
workers is constantly employed al
the local mine, the death this morn
ing was the first fatal accident there
since December IL, 1910, when Rich
ard Schwartz lost his life in a blast
ing accident.

capable administration, honest and efficient service

All this must depend upon the character of
those in public office Never has it been more nee

GREINERS HOME is
DAMAGED BY EARLY FIRE

An early morning blaze, about
O'Clock, caused almost total ruin
to the interior of S. J. Greiner's
cottage and was only prevented
from complete destruction of the
building by the large amount of
water poured into it by Douglas
volunteer firemen.
Exact cause of the fire had not
been determined this forenoon but
according to Mr.. Greiner, when
awakened by the smell of smoke
, he found the kitchen ablaze around
the range. Hurriedly turning in
an alarm he evacuated his wife
and two children to safety in Earl
Miller's home and then went to
reighbor's homes for aid. BY that
time the fire was SO far advanced
that it was impossible to salvage
even some clothes.

Colts duffer deserves and must
have the biggest break that has
come his way since the first ambi-
tious greens chairman started to
make his course one of the tough
numbers. And Al Houghton. one of
Washington's top golf professionals,
on the eve of renouncing full-time
job as golf pro and becoming a
servant of Uncle Sam, thinks Joe
Duf1er should have this real break.
Prefacing his warning that golf
courses must be shortened and made
easier with a prediction that if this
doesn't happen golf will lose lot
of addicts, Houghton says that when
a course is made too tough for the
average player it gives him a sense
of inferiority and undoubtedly licks
him to the point where he gives up
the game.
Il don't mean that every layout
should be shortened and made into
miniature course" said Al. But
the average golfer should have
chance to make respectable score"
AL has been the Prince Georges pro
for quite while. Prince Georges
is one Of the longest and toughest
courses around town. Al said he had
pleaded with members of his golf
committee to shorten the course by
installing shorter tees, but the move
wasn't made.

Houghton. Usually the pro can hit
the ball long way and straight.
So he isn't hurt. But Joe Duf1er,
who ordinarily plays only on week
ends and hasn't much golf feel any
how, is up against it on long, hard
course.

pride in declaring their courses are
