RECORD OF ATTENDANCE AT WORLD SERIES NOT LIKELY
 TO RE BROKEN THIS YEAR

NEW YORK. Oct. 6 (by Associated Press Notwithstanding the general increase in baseball throughout the country it is unlikely that in the present series to decide the worlds championship that new records will be made in attendance for a single game or for the series. The reason for this is that the capacity of the parks where the games are to be played is insufficient to erase from the record books top notch figures that have been established in pre- vious years.
 The largest crowd that ever wit messed a single game in world ser les was 42,62O, which was the an- nounced official attendance for the final contest of the 1916 series be- tween the Boston Red Sox of the American league and of the Brook lyn national league, played at Bos- ton. The best record for total at.

 Ebbets Field. the home grounds of the Brooklyn club of the National league, has been tested to it's cap acity in one worlds series, that of 1916, and while it is possible for between 22,OOO and 23,00O to crowd into the stands and pavilions, the largest official attendance there in the 1916 series was 21,6622.

SEATTLE, Wash. Sept. 30 (Spe- cial Correspondence).- Marking a new epoch in Northern mining and representing one of the largest shipments of gold ever sent out of the Kuskokwim river district be- tween Seward and the Aleutlan islands-a consignment of $15O,OOO in gold dust arrived in Seattle when the steamer Katherine c docked in port from the north. The gold dust is being shipped into the states by placer miners along the Kuskokwim river, according to advice received by J. L. Burnside, general agent in Seattle for the White Pass & Yukon route and the Northern Commercial company, which maintains a number of trading posts in that territory.
 Recent advices from that section indicate a big increase in population and an optimistic boom spirit The big gold dust shipment just received

DETAILED ROAD PROGRAM FOR ALASKA
COMPREHENSIVE STATEMENT GIVEN OUT
 BY HEAD OF ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION

mission in 1913 indicated that the direct saving in transportation cost of freight during that year due to the construction of roads by the commis- sion was $2,144,667. The total amount expended for construction and mainte- nance, 1905-1913, was $2,57S,SS271. It is doubtful, however, if anything like that amount of freight would have been transported without the roads and the indirect loss which would be occasioned by the restric- tion on output and development if the roads did not exist cannot easily be estimated. The corresponding fig ures for 1920 are not available but it is expected that the showing will be even more striking.
 Road work in Alaska cannot be handled from Washington or Seattle. It cannot even be handled from Ju- neau. It can only be handled prop erly through an acquaintanceship with actual conditions on the ground. This the new board has recognized from the beginning and both the pres ident and the engineer officer have so far spent over 80 per cent of their time in the field. Between them they will have visited at least once every district and every important project in the territory before they have been in office six months.
 Plans for next year call for repeat ed inspections of the most important projects and at least one inspection of every piece of work and a visit to each town and district in order to become familiar with local conditions. business, etc. The disbursing officer. also, will visit each disbursing dis trict and standardize methods and ac- counts.
 The district superintendents of the commission are all men of long eX- perience in Alaska as well as with the commission. They are excellent men and have their districts we'll in hand The foremen are all old-timers who are thoroughly familiar with road work and conditions at all seasons of the year. Even the common labor is made up largely of longtime resi- dents of the territory. A well-knit or ganization is being built up. addi- tional equipment is being secured, and granted a reasonable appropria- tlon from year to year, substantial re- suits will soon follow
 The support and encouragement met with in all parts of the territory has been particularly gratifying. A united front should convince congress of the need for substantial appropria- tions for the next few years, if any veal progress is to be made.

Col. J. G. Steese, president of the Alaska road commission, was in Cor dova last evening and furnished the Daily Times with the following complete resume of the work of this board during the past year and also it's plans for a ten-year campaign of road building:
 The Alaska road commission has been completely reorganized the past year and is now composed of three officers of the corps of engineers of the regular army. Col. Gotwalls, the engineer officer, arrived in Alaska early last April: Col. Steese, the pres ident, arrived early ill July, and Capt. Ward the secretary and disbursing officer, arrived about the end of Aug ust The army appropriation bill did not pass congress until June 5, so that plans for the seasons work were seri- ously delayed.
 A late spring, however, helped the situation somewhat and it is expected that work in some localities may be continued till November. The total resources of the commission from all sources, including cooperative funds from the territory, amounted on July 1, 1920, to $590,000, exclusive of ac- cnnn1inc nf this amount, $523,000 mas been al lotted for the working season of 1920. leaving the balance TOT the purchase of supplies this winter, to care for emergency work this winter and next spring, and to start operations next spring, pending receipt of next years appropriation which should be avail able by March 4, 1921, unless congress fails to pass the appropriation bills in order to force the new president to call an extra session.
