a LII Atlanta fans, most Of those

sprinkling from the Southern
States. not to mention a scattering
few from Canada, Mexico and various
points in South America. are going
to try for the ten free season tickets
to the Ponce DeLeon baseball park
offered by The Georgian.
This estimate is based on the un-
expectedly large number Of stories
already received and from CONVERSE
ton with fans and communications
from them.
For instance, the contest editor was
talking baseball with an Atlanta law
yer, a man to whom the price Of a
single ticket or a season ticket IS
highly immaterial.
I'm going to make "a try for that
pass you are offering" he said.
1T isn't so much that I'm anxious
to save the $50 or so that baseball
costs me each year. The pleasure is
worth that and more But I'd just
like to show I'm smart enough TO win

MEANS OF PREVENTING DUST
Proper Spreading Of Tar on Maca-
dam'zed Roads viii Do Work Ef.
fcctively-Roads Last Lonuer.

AT the recent road conference in
Paris it was decided that the proper
spreading Of tar on macadamized
roads is an effective means of pre-
venting dust. The method is largely
used in France. About one-thtrd of
gallon Of tar is used for each square
yard OF surface. The roads last
longer. and the cost of maintenance
Is reduced. In the United States oil
is employed to considerable extent
to proven dust and preserve the sur.
race OF roads. The oil is spread from
carts, during the making of the road.
to the amount of one or two gallons
per square yard. The French road en-.
gineers recommend the planting of
trees along roadsides as a means Of
preventing dust. In, France all roads
not less than 33 feet wide are re-
quired to have single line of trees
on each side, at distances apart vary-
ing from 16 to 80 feet.-Youth's Com

ROADS SHOULD BE DRAGGED
Systematic and Persistent Use Of DRAG
VIII Result in Very Great
Amount Of Improvement.

The great benefit to dirt roads
from the systematic and persistent
use OF the road drag is certainly so
plain in Illinois and other states
this year that no sensible person
can doubt that the use OF the road
drag should be provided for by law,
says the Illinois Farmer. The sys-
tematic dragging of earth roads will
result in much greater improvement
than any other work on them costing
the same. The road drag makes very
great improvement on all roads except
those that are quite sandy. This year
has demonstrated that nine-tenths of
the roads of Illinois, Iowa, ETC., can
be made, by systematic dragging, as
good as could we'll be desired for at
least nine months of the year. Roads
in Illinois and neighboring states that
have been well dargged for three or
four years past have been this
summer better for both heavy traffic
and automobiles than the brick or
stone paved streets of the cities. 1t
takes several years of systematic drag
ging to make earth roads as good as
they can be made with the drag. Each
year toughens and hardens the road
and also lessons the necessary work
With the drag
Certainly every state with soil SINH
lar to that of Illinois should have a
law requiring road officials to have
the roads dragged whenever needed,
Of course providing for the payment
for this work out of the road taxes.
Both farmers and town people should
begin work at once to secure such a
law. 1t will take real work to get such
law for 1t will not make necessary
high-priced engineers and commits
sions, or give room for big graft in
any one spot. Fortunately the roads
can be properly dragged by farmers
and others and this road improvement
can be made without taking it out of
the hands of local officials who can be
watched closely.

RENAME AND REBUILD
 SHIPS FOR ALASKA RUN

SEATTLE, Nov. 26. - It has been definitely decided to remove the liner Admiral Sampson from the Alaska ser vice on completion of her present voy- age to the North, and the freighter Jeanie will be sent to Kodiak, Seldov- ia, Yakutat and the other ports in Southwestern and Southeastern Alas ka usually called at by her.
 Although it cannot be known exact ly when the Admiral Dewey and the Admiral Schley can be brought to this coast through the Panama Canal, plans have all been laid for their arrival. The Admiral Sampson is to be thoroughly overhauled and entered in the San Francisco trade. The steamship Buck man is to be removed from this service and rebuilt for the Alaska run.
 When the Buckman is ready the Jeanie will go back to her old service for the Skagway Steamship Company, and the steamship Watson will be withdrawn from the San Francisco run and rebuilt. As the Admiral Evans and the Admiral Watson the two yes sels will operate on the Sampsons run

SUGGESTS A RABBIT AS
 ALASKA'S STATE SEAL

-O-O-
 Instead of using the eagle, the lion, the buffalo, the Indian, or any of the starry constellations as emblematic of Alaska, the Ketchikan Morning Mail would adopt the timid rabbit, and gives the following reasons for it's choice:
 ''In the years to come when Alaska becomes a State and we people be- come civilized and know how to gov ern ourselves, etc, we suggest as a motto on our great Alaska State seal: Kwit-shad-ie E-la-han kopa Till Va kwah-tin. Only the sourdough who has mushed over the trail in years past know how often the little rabbit has proven the only source of food ob- tainable in the interior regions. We have it from the best of authority that at the new gold strike of Chisana the question of food would indeed be a grave question but for the abundance of these little animals in that locality

MEXCANS FIGHT GREATEST BATTLE SINCE CIVIL WAR
HONOR OF CITY
 BACK OF WARRANTS

More than half of the $30,OO0 per
 sonal guarantee for the redemption of
 city warrants that may in the future
 be issued to carry on the city's affairs
 has already been secured. Many per
 sons came forward without solicita
 tion and offered to sign in diverse amounts. But it is the desire to have
 this guarantee supported by the peo- pie in general and for this reason the subscription paper will continue to be circulated until it has the full amount realized.
 The last legislature passed very stringent banking law which requires that all securities shall pass inspec- tion within the limits of that law The passing of this act makes it necessary to secure the payment of the city war rants just the same as any other obli gation. The schools are dependent upon the city revenues. Owing to the heavy draught to provide additional room and other city improvements the legal limit has been reached on war rants and there is no other way of se- curing the payment of these warrants and without such security the banks cannot under the law honor the drafts of the city.
 Monday night the Juneau fire de- partment met in the new quarters for the first time and at this meeting the conditions existing were discussed. The department entered enthusiastically in to the spirit of helping things along by voluntarily voting to serve without pay until July 1, next. Speeches were made by E. C. Hurlbutt ex-chief of the by chief Milton Vim and others and every member of the de- partment is working for the plan of securing the city's credit. The boys are very proud of their new hall and realize that the building of it and the of the Gamewell auto matic alarm system has been one of the causes leading to the present f. nancial condition.
 The school board is also enthusias- tically boosting the plan along, in fact the school board, having most at stake. is really doing the work of circulating the subscription guarantee The board realizes that if the new city hall had not been built there would be no room for many of the students and pu- pills of the Juneau public schools The school board is also confronted with the cold fact that if the citys war rants are not honored that the schools will have to close. The board is ask ing for the earnest support of every citizen in this matter
 The members of the old city council are also lending their honest support to the plan, ont only by signing the in liberal amounts, but by seeking to have the citizens generally rally to the support of the present ad- in providing means to keep the city's credit intact.
 With all this backing from civic or ganizations there is little doubt but that the citizens generally will come forward and guarantee the obligations which although exceeding the legal linn it are yet a debt of honor.
