TWO RECOMMENDATIONS
ARE PASSED UPON AT
ALASKA DAME SESSION
Two recommendations have been
passed upon by the Alaska Game Com
mission now in session at Juneau. The
Umpire is quoted:
The first is an adjustment in the
open season on muskrats, lynx, mink,;
land otter and weasel in District No. 3,1
■the Kotzebue Sound district, The!
adjustment would extend \he closing
date several days to allow taking the1
animals after the ice break up, which j
it is said, occurs at about the same
date as the present date of closing!
the season. The date for opening the;
reason would be advanced so as to;
make the time of the season the same
is at present. The dates now in effect
«re from April 1 to May 31.
In the second recommendation the
Commission has gone on record in
framing a resolution to the Bureau of(
Biological Survey that museum col-\
(acting permits in the Territory be
not issued without being first approv-!
ed by the Commission.

Road building means road build
ing in Alaska, if you take it from M.
1). Williams, district engineer of the
U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, in an
article published in the Cleveland
I
Press during the recent meeting of
the American Road Builders Conven
tion held in that city and to which
Mr. Williams was a delegate.
Alaska, with short summers and
long winter frosts, never thaws out
entirely, Williams said. Up on the
tundras the land thaws from six in
shes to four feet deep. Where ocean
streams from the tropics warm the
coast, there is swamp and muskeage.
Unlucky is the motorist who ventures
upon the unsurfaced road. In summer
the thaw leaves it mushy and “with
out bottom” for autos.
In road building on the plateaus
the construction gangs first have to
clean off a foot or more of moss and
brambles before putting in a founda
tion and surface. In the swampy land
corduroys, or highways resting on
logs, are constructed.
But it is not all trouble for the
bureau and Alaska Road Commission.
Glaciers have left ample deposits for
surfacing and in Alaska are “built”
the most economical roads in the
world, costing only a few dollars a
mile. They consist of a “winter trail”
of flags planted at intervals to guide
dog teams as they mush over the ice
and snow. Some of them are 200 miles I
long.
In the Juneau area, there is no nec
essity for long roads, Williams said,
“for they don’t go anywhere.”
The two road building bodies spend
approximately a million and a half
dollar^ annually on road construc
tion.
Harry Wells, who was returned to
Ketchikan recently from Madison, Wis
plead guilty to the charge of bigamy.
He will spend the next two years at
McNeil's visiting with friends.
Not withstanding the number of
slides which already have crashed
down from the mountain tops the
real slide season is in March and
April.
