e0MENBS LAND
 SURVEYS IN ALASKA

--
 The report Of the commissioner Of the general land office which has just been received ln Juneau. contains some interesting suggestions and re- commendations regarding the survey Q. public lands in Alaska
 These recommendation were acted upon by the special appropriation of Sl0oQoo being Incorporated in the coal leasing bili for the purpose of making an Immediate survey Of the coal areas and other lands in Alaska. Surveyor General Charles E. Davidson says that another appropriation win be neees- sary % provide for carrying on a sys. tenn of surveys ot other lands in Alas ka. as it will reqglre practically the fuil s100000 to survey tho cooi areas only. Surveyor General Davidson made his recommendations to the com- missioner of the general land office ip July of last year. Tho report of tho commissioner Of the general land oAce- on surveys in Alaska follows;
 survcys in Ais5ica.
 The necessity for an carly exten- sion of the public surveys in Alaska is forcibly stated in tho annual report of the United States Surveyor General from which the following extracts are submitted:
 0avldson's Recommendation.
 eAs provision has boon made by Congress for the construction ot Q railroad from some point on the tide- water of the Pacific Ocean to Inc Panama Valley ID the interior Of the Territory. it goes without saying that a large number of homo seekers will flock to the valley that win be trnyers- ca by the railroad. regardless Of where It's initial point may be aud Of the sections Of country it may pass over
 Before tho appropriation for the fiscal year 1e15-l6 becomes available the route Of the railway will no doubt be determined. and the appropriation for that year would be utilized ac- coaiingly
 It Is very desirable that Che lines of the public surveys be established before the influx Of settlers occurs, as it will then be possible for them to locate their claims by legal sub divisions. which would obviate the liability of having to readiust the boundaries of their claims SO as ta conform with the lines Of the pub lic surveys. This would preclude all danger of losing valuable improve ments which the change might cause.

TEAMS
CLOSER PUNCHED
Cement Team Defeats Laun-
dry Club; Globe Mills
Beats Weston Five.

Monday night saw the three leading
bowling teams in the Industrial league
at the Cactus club punched up little
closer, and the tail end Ell Paso Laun-
dry team pushed a little further back
in the cellar. This was accomplished
through the to / victory of the
Cement Plant over the Laundry five in
the first game and the victory of the
fast coming Globe Mills team over
Weston's team in the second game by
the same score. Had the Weston team,
which has been far out in front until
the past two or three weeks not put
George Keys in as a pinch bowler in
the last game, it would have been
pulled still further back, as the Millers
would have captured all four games.
A noticeable feature Of the MiIlers is
that since the addition of Bud" Ward
and Bill Campbell to their team it has
won the majority of the points in
every match it has played and from .
bad last has moved up until it has an
excellent chance of overtaking the
leaders. Monday night these two men
easily led their team in high total,
Ward being in front with 509, just four
points ahead of Bill Campbell Camp
bell got away with high game for the
match with 1877.
The second game was marked prin-
cipally by the magnificent bowling Of
n. e. DeBruhl, anchor man for the
Laundry team. lad his team given
him any support they would have won
all four points. DeBrUhl rolled in truly
big lea que style. He had high game,
both of the match and the night, with
24G, thereby setting a new record for
the Industrial league, and his high
total. which was also high for both the
match and the night, was within 10
points of Joe Bryan's 649, which is high
total in all leagues for the season. A
REGULARITY Of this match was that al
though DeBruhl, H A. Smith and S A.
Vaughn all rolled games which would
be big i'm the Big league, yet the team
lost. This was partly due to the con-
sisteEt rolling of all members of the
Cement Plant team and partly to the
fact that the other two members of the
Laundry team fell down badly. one
of them got 119 ana the other 81. To
night the Federal league, will bowl on
the Cactus club alleys.

games and the Industrial league stand

dollars to doughnuts that no such play

came up in a minor league game last

present still discuss that tangle when
shy of fresh baseball topics. The trOu-

Those interested in the American
and National league laugh to scorn any
attempt to place Benny Kauff. the sen
Feds. on the same plane with the star
outer gardeners of the other two big
leagues. Yet boosters claim that he is
not only as good as most of the Nation
al and American league Outfielders.
but that he is at least the equal if
not the peer of the great Ty Cobb.
And there are some mighty good
grounds for their claims.
There is little question that Benny
is faster than Ty at the present time.
Ty led the American league last year
in batting. Benny led the Feds in bat
ting, base stealing and runs scored.
Quite some difference Moreover, I'M
like most left handlers, -Kauff hits left
handed pitchers better than he does
right handlers. His record for last year
shows that against right handed pitch
ing he hit 1852, while against the port
siders he damned the hOrsehide for an
average of 422. It is against all base
ball traditions for a left handed batter
to do this But Benny appears to be
amenable to very few of the common
laws of baseball.
Some try to explain this success of
Benny's against the southpaws as be-
ing due to the fact that the southpaws
in the Federal league do not compare
with the array presented in the other
big leagues. They say that this is
proved by the free hitting throughout
the circuit and that, owing to this
