ROAD PLAN CONFUSED.

In recent issue Of the Fairbanks
Times was communication signed
by Frank Manton, in which several
matters Of common interest, includ
ing road matters. were discussed
The article contained some good sug
gestions, but it made evident the
writer's misunderstanding Of the
plan proposed in The Citizen Of let
ting miners put their assessment
work on roads instead of claims
The following Is taken from the com
munication:
Recently The Citizen expressed
its opinion and suggested that cash
be paid in lieu of work, the money
to be devoted to road work The
suggestion is very commendable. but
impracticable for the majority OF
claim-holders are not financially able
to meet the requirements.
"The Citizens plan would soon
eliminate the impecunious miner and
afford the capitallstic element the
opportunity to acquire and possess
ALL"
1t is thus made evident that Mr.
Manton, who, by the way. is not
personally known to The Citizen. did
not read the suggestion made In
this newspaper carefully. and hence
his misunderstanding of the plan.
The suggestion made in The Citizen
was to have the law changed in such

Auto Deadlier Than Golf

John j. McGraW becomes Wrathy when
he hears of a member Of his New York
team playing golf. So wrathY did Nc
Glaw become that he gave strict orders
against playing the Scottish game ana
threatened to fine heavily any player
leve that playing golf weakens the bat
ting eye and spoils the players batting
form. Some players have admitted this.
Come right down to It, though, give heed
to the case of Joe Jackson of Cleveland,
ara you will discover something deadlier
than golf something that runs on four
rubber tired wheels and has given Detroit
the reputation of being the center for
rIanufaoting the thing. Jacksons love
for his auto is blamed for his inability
to hit 400 this year
When jackson started driving his auto
mobile he was batting .113 and stood
good chance of beating Tyrus Cobb for
the swat honors of the American league
Then came a slump in Jacksons average
and he closed the season hating .S7S, a
loss of 40 points of batting value.
jackson is not the only player who
found autoing very injurious to good bat
ting. Cobb himself ms planned several
batting slumps on auto driving, and al
Nays showed Judgment enough to lay
off" when driving interfered with hitting.
Cobb explains that the eyes become in
