FIGHTING FOR
 ROAD MONEY
NOME APPEALS THROUGH GATEWAY, COMMERCIAL CLUB AND OTHERS FOR
 COOPERATION.

NOME, March 7.-The Nome Chamber of Commerce and all Sew ard Peninsula is now engaged in an effort to secure half a million dollars for road building in the territory and it has been decided by the chamber to ask the Seward Commercial Club through the Gateway to join with all other commercial organizations in Alaska to aid the work. The effort is to be made to prevail on the secretary of war to present a supplementary re- port to congress for money. There is good reason here to believe that quite a lot of money can be obtained fOI the work if a strong effort is made The local chamber is now waiting to hear from Seward and the other cities.

 Fill in a Pleasant Evening.

The members of the Seward IglOo of the Pioneers of Alaska had most interesting time at the dinner last evening and spent some hours list ening to good singing, good stories and to the relation of some weird ex, periences of pioneers in the dear dead days beyond recall" as al pioneers would have you think them Dr. J. NJ. Sloan occupied the place Oi toastmaster and carried himself with the savoir faire, to use an Eskimo phrase, which always distinguishes him. L. L. James, Jru president Oi the Igloo, closed the evening with a few neat remarks welcoming the visi- tors. He stated that the dinner would become an annual affair and he ex- pressed the opinion that next year the Igloo will have even a more ambitious entertainment. The singing was aid ed by Messrs. Moses, Sinclair, Ash croft and Bruner, not forgetting John Noon at all. Mir. Lindblad read a poem specially written for the pioneers. The others who responded to the invitation of the tOastmaster were Mayor Myers, Al Chamberlain, Judge Lindley Green, William Sauers, Pistol Pete Anderson, Alex Mcdonald, Leon Booker, Matt Button, Sam Soup cofT, Judge van Pelt and J.

Baker FavOrs Lots
 of Strategic R. R.'s
New Secretary of War Has We'll De- fined Ideas About Pre-
 paredness

CLEVELAND, March TN D.. Baker, the secretary of war elect, has come out with a statement that he favors the construction of strategical railroads for use in moving troops and supplies in the event that the United States might ever be invaded. The railroads of the nation at present, he says, are so built that they go out of their ways to tap large cities. What he wants are railroads that do not ake population centers into ac- count but which are built solely with a view to quick transportation both transcontinental and coastwise. q believe in peace and the proper en- forcement of peace laws by force if necessary" he said.

Billiard Contest
 Soon To Come Up
Good Contest Being Arranged For
 the Northern ParlOrs.

A billiard tournament is being ar ranged by the Northern which is creating great interest among the players of Seward. A new method of handicapping is being discussed which is meeting with favor as it promises to remove the principal objections to handicap play. Generally speaking the players will be divided into three classes, all members of each class playing on approximately an equal footing. The winners of the three classes will then play a final series of three games for the principal prize. In addition a prize will be given to the winner of each class. The handicap in the final between the winners of the three classes will be based on their scores as played in their individual classes.
 A partial list of those eligible has been prepared and can be seen at the Northern. All players are invited to call and examine the list and suggest any additions as it is the desire to give every player who desires to en- ter the tournament the opportunity to do so.
 Dividing the players into three classes reduces the expense to the in- dividual player as each player will only have to play the number of games corresponding to the number of members in his class instead of playing all the members in the tOurn- ament. Accurate scores will be kept officially and all play will be strictly according to rules.
 An entrance fee will probably be charged in which case there will be no charge for the games. This will make the total cost to each player less than if he paid for individual games,

THE COAL LEASES

"When an individual or corpora tion takes a lease on coal land he will not be bothered by any regulations for interpreting the terms of the lease. It will all be in the lease itself" said Secretary Lane, of the department of the interior. After many months of study and investigation, we have now determined upon a form of lease, and have rejected the idea of having ex- tended regulations go with it. The form is not long, but it gives the lessee the exact knowledge of what he may and may not do. In framing it, we have had the advice of private operators as we'll as government of ficials."-Ex.
