The matter was brought before the
State meeting of the Georgia Daughters
Of the American Revolution, which con-
vened at Marietta recently In annual
session. when a resolution was adopted
requesting the Georgia Legislature TO
oppose the attempt to be made by vir-
ginia to recover and remove the remains.
In this resolution the Daughters stated
that It would be an act Of desecration to
remove the remains after they had been
inferred for nearly 100 years. and asked
that measures be taken to keep them
undisturbed in their present resting
place.

CORDOVA-FAIRBANkS.

! or tOrGONa to Fairbanks would go over the tracks of the Copper river road as far as Chitina and from there on the route would follow the left bank of the Copper river as far as Gulkana river, crossing in turn the Tonsina. the kutna at Cop, per Center, and the Tazlina. On this route there would be two di- vides to cross. one of 3,lOO feet and the other of 3,300 feet. The dis tance to Fairbanks by this route is flo miles.
 VALDEZ-FAlRBANks.
 Surveys have been made for a railway from Valdez to Copper Cen ter by way of Marshalls Pass. From Valdez to Marshalrs Pass the dis tance is about 30 miles. and the route would lie up the Lowe river. Beyond the pass the route would de scend the broad valley of the Tas- nuna river to the Copper which would be reached in about 31 miles From this point the route would be identical with the one from Chitna, already described. The dis tance from Valdez to Fairbanks hy this route would be 377 miles.
 The route from Valdez b; the Wa, of Thompson Pass goes up the Lowe river to a point IS miles from the tideWater. Here it turns northWard and crosses the pass which has au elevation of about 2.500 feet in fir 1 teen miles. Beyond the pass the route follows the Tsina river to a point where the stream joins the kanata to form the Tiekel. 1t then crosses an 1S0o foot divide into Mos quito creek, which it follows until it joins the Tonsina. Beyond the Ton slna there are two routes, one fol lowing the valley to the Copper riv- CT at Chtina, which would be the natural route, and the other after climbing four hundred feet would join the Copper river at point ten miles below Chitina. The distance by this route from the coast to Fairbanks is 342 miles.
 ROUTE FROM SEWARD.
 The Susitna and Broad Pass at it's head leading to the Panama valley affords favorable railway route to inland Alaska. A railroad has already been completed from Seward to Turnagain Arm, distance of 'l12 miles. The Matanuska go1f lands is the objective point of tEis road The route would C. tend from the coal fields up the Susitna to the junction of the Chulitna and up that stream to Broad Pass where the route fol lows the Nenana river to the Tana- na flats. From this point on any location on the Panama river can be easily reached This route is 46S miles from the Pacific.
 SUMMARY OF THE ROUTES.
 Mr Brooks says in his reports that the feasibility of constructing the Pyramid Harbor-Tanana, Copper Valley and Susitna Valley trunk routes is unquestioned, The first would bisect Central Alaska, but would not help the Copper or Su- sitna regions. The resources of the Copper basin and the Susitna basin must be developed by differ, ent railways. The only question is which one should now be extended through to the Panama" In the opinion of Mir. Brooks the resources of Central Alaska justify the be- lief that eventually all three rall- roads will be built to the Panama and extended to other parts of the

BAN JOHNSON FAVORS
 NEW PLAYERS UNION

President Johnson of the Ameri. can league declared recently that he saw nothing inimical to the best in terests Of baseball in the Players Protective association as proposed. and that he would not oppose it. A players union modelled along the lines of the labor unions would hard ly be tolerated. he declared. but he did not see why the players should not have an organization to proceed along lcgitimate lines.
 Whether the proposed association will be admitted to the national commission is a question that Pres ident Johnson is not in a position to answer
 IL is the universal belief of the ballplayers that they should have representation on the National com mission. They constitute a big DOT tion of the game and think their in terests should he represented. A number of players of the major lea que clubs in Chicago were inter viewed yesterday and all approved the move for an association of base ball pastimers.

Fans everywhere will be asked to contribute and little difficulty in raising the funds is anticipated.
