Prizes will be given for the prettiest, the cutest, the larg- est, and the smallest baby.
 In preparation for the big doll and toy vehicle show at the Island on August 18th, a similar exhibition will be held at each playground on Fri day, August 12th. As in past years, ribbons will be awarded for the best dressed doll, the prettiest doll, the largest doll and the most antique doll.

 ALASKA WILL.
 BE CONTINUED

SEATTLE, March 26 (by Associ- ated Press) The Times Washington correspondent says it is regarded as certain that the incoming congress will be requested by the administra- tion to make adequate appropriations for the construction of roads and hign- ways in Alaska.
 The administration realizes that un- less lateral roadWays are built the railroad cannot be made to pay inter- est on the investment and the feeling is general in official circles that the government would be making a mis- take if it carried on the construction of the railroad without at the same time devising means to populate the region which it traverses.
