seated in the Fairbanks Community

ball team defeated the Alaska Col
lege last week by a narrow margin
of one point. The final score was
16 to 15.

by seepage, while the moss and
vegetation greatly retary surface
drainage, consequently cross coun
try travel in the Interior is likely
to be a rather wet affair made J
more difficult by the profusion of
‘niggerheads’ (a species of grass pe
culiar to Alaska—it grows in a
manner similar t opalmtrees;—this
year’s growth dying in winter to
add a higher stalk for next year’s).
“FOR MANY YEARS—
due to poor transportation facili
ties, and limited funds, the roads in
Alaska were constructed mainly by
hand—1. e. pick and shovel and
teams As is the case in any pion
eer country, it was found to be too
difficult and too expensive to ship
iin road machinery.
| “That was not an unmitigated
I evil, but in fact resulted very favor
iably for the construction agency
jbecaust- in recent years, road build
jing has been improved, standardiz
ed and cheapened—so that by the
tune that funds become available,
much of the rough advance worK
on the roads was completed, hith
erto isolated localities had become
more accessible for the shipping in
of machinery and now it might
safely be said that the Alaska Road
Commission is equipped with the
latest, most up-to-date and eco
nomical equipment that it is possi
ble and appropriate to be purchas
ed.
“The Territory of course is not
yet ready for concrete or aspha’t
roads—too much opening up of new
country is demanded, and condi
tions do not warrant such expendi
tures at present. But the gravel
road has justified itself in every
case, being strong enough to stand
the wear and tear of traffic—pas
sable in all weathers, and well
idapted to the terrain.
