BALL GROUNDS PROVIDED FOR
 AT KETCHILAN

will have regular honest-to-goodness
 baseball park-one which it will not be necessary to share with shellfish or humpies-by the first of April, 1921.
 w. J. Walter, who claims to have had considerable experience with such work, has signed a contract with the
 park committee to put the ground
 which was cleared last year, in shape
 for baseball diamond, tennis courts and ornamental plots.
 The contract provides that the
 grounds be leveled up with gravel and sand, an ample supply of which is available in the hillside north of the park clearing. The area adia- cent to the light company's power house will be prepared for a base
 ball diamond.
 Tennis courts are to be erected on the northwest side of the park, ad-
 joining the woods.
 Approximately one-third of the area that has been cleared is to be laid out in the form of a park with gravel walks, green grass and trees. The section of the park nearest to town will be used for that purpose It will be divided from the baseball ground and tennis courts by an 18- foot gravel road, which will lead to the grove-an ideal spot for picnics during the summer.
 The Alaska road commission re- ceived 5R-ton tractor on the freighter Redondo from the south. The big machine was loaded on scow for shipment to Hyder, where it will be used in connection with the construction of the Salmon river road. The arrival of the big tractor has brought to the attention of the officials of the road commission the lack of transporaion Portland canal. An attempt was made to have the tractor taken to Stewart by one of the Canadian boats, but none of them cOulC handle it. It will cost the com mission nearly twice as much to send it from Ketchikan to Hyder by scow as il cost to bring it from Seattle to Ketchikan.
 William Sulzer. former governor of the state Of New York, and brother of the late Charles A. Sulzer, former delegate from Alaska to con- gross, arrived from the east on the steamship Princess Alice. Mr. sul- ger is going to the town of Sulzer on Prince of Wales island. He de- clined to make a statement, saying he would return from the island in a week for a stay at Ketchikan, at which time he would probably have an announcement to make It is understood that party of mining men, representing the Branby inter- ests at Anyox, B. C., are going to Sul- ger also to look over the copper mines there.
 After having spent the past three years at lonely light stations in the Aleuhan archipelago, Edmund Moore, keeper of the Scothch Cape light, and George Alezius, assistant keeper at Cape Sarichief, returned to Ketchi- kan on the steamer Katherine D. | The men will probably take a years | holiday with pay. Capt. W. D. Di- l brell, superintendent of the light | house service, also returned on the Catherine D. The captain went to the westward with the tender Cedar on ] tour of inspection. He boarded | the Catherine D. at Unimak.
 The concrete work on the new bank building is nearing completion, and the brick work is to start soon A rumor was circulated that fourth | floor was to be added, but this was denied. What is now the roof of the building has been built in such a way it can be used for a floor in case it l should be found necessary to add another story later. A false roof will be placed above the concrete roof.
 The forest service has received a portable machine shop for it's boat ways at Gravina Island The shop brought from the south on the Re- dondO has been transferred to al scow for shipment across Tongass NarroWs. It is compact and con- tains all necessary equipment for the making of ordinary repairs to the forest service boat Tahn and the for ester's boats..2
