The Nome Gun Club is reorganizing
(for the coming season anti will hold a
meeting in the office of I)r. Chnce next
Saturday evening at 8:30 p. m. Mat
ters of general interest to the organiza
tion will be discussed and plans will
be laid for the various summer events
including the several prize shoots. Itc
• gulation trophies will be offered tit is
, year and the club will also hold a
shoot for the Du I’ont trophy, as usual.
The club received a new buneh of sup
plies by last boats including » new
trap and targets. All members and
also all prospective members air re
quested to attend the meeting next
Saturday.
Owing to a misunderstanding of t’o
distinction between arriving time and
running time the reports of yesterday
concerning the Candle dog race held
Sunday are somewhat erroneous.
Through the mistake of understanding
the running time to be the hour of ar
rival, u matter of four hours was ad
ded to the actual time of the contes
tants. The corrected figures for the
. eighty mile run are as follows: II.
Coffin. 8 hrs. 37 min. 30 sec.; fl. Sund
quist. 9 hrs. 11 min.: R. Dimmick, 10
hrs. 11 min. 30 see. which converts
apparently slow time into rather fast
time. The difficulties of long distance
, communication are largely responsible
’ for the error.

■ most pleasing touch to the affair and
the method of serving the refresh

ing novelty and added still further
charm to the event. Pleasing and
well selected music furnished an added

ued from 9 to 12 p. m. A large crowd
was in attendance and handsome eos

REPRESENTATIVES FIGHTING
THE PROPERTY TAX
JUNEAF, April 27.—-The Represen
tatives of the Second Division are
fighting as a unit against the property
tax provisions of the Revenue bill and
although fiercely debated until mid
night last night there is still no sign
of a lessening of Hie opposition.
Senator Aldrich is supporting the
Second Division representatives in
their demands for a retention of the
license tax system. The main con
| tention of the members from the
western Division is based on the ex
treme expense involved in the pro
posed property tax and the method is
