HIGHWAY PLAN.
IS a YEAR OLD
TRUNK ROUTE BULLETIN GIVES
IMPROVEMENT SUMMARY FOR
FIRST TWELVE MONTHS <.

First year operations included, also
the re-shaping Of l,l3l and re-graveling
OF 500 miles of the big system.
First year results of the Babcock
Plan, as condensed above, are given in
a state highway department bulletin
this week marking the first: anniversary
Of inauguration of Minnesota 3 high
way Development program. The new
plan took effect April 25; 1921.
The highway bulletin refers to these
important events in the Minnesota an
nails Of the good roads movement, and
presents the official figures on results
obtained during the frst twelve
months, with a short statement by the
commissioner. The tabulation, how:
ever, gives the - comparatively large
mileages of improvements added dur
ing the year to the totals listed when
the state took over from the counties
the 1000 miles of trunk highways to
improve and always maintain them
with the proceeds Of the motor vehicles
tax and federal aid appointments. q
Big Gains Listed
Miles of trunk routes paved were
more than doubled the first year, paw
ing projects being run up by the use
Of reimbursement funds which can be
expended only in the counties issuing
the bonds and with the approval Of the
! county commissioners. Graded mileages
were increased nearly IS per- cent and
gravel-surfaced nearly As per. cent dur:
ing the year through the expenditure Of
the bulk Of the state trunk funds for
those and maintenance purposes. Grad.
ing and graveling took more than four
ffths of the trunk funds used for new
construction, according to- the official
figures. s<. S.
In addition to the construction show
/ ing made, the maintenance forces mend
ed and smoothed 6,s55 miles of routes
designated as part Of the 7,0O0-mile
trunk system. Nearly 1000 patrolmen,
each equipped with team, grader and
. other tools to give daily service on a
Smile section, represented the big part
of the force, the bulletin states, al
4 though thevbig fleets of tractors and
trucks were credited generally with
getting good results. Many new
bridges and miles Of guardzrails and
other like items add more to the grand
! totals Of highway improvements.
Every Section Benefits
The start on the highway program .
a year ago was without advance prepar.
alton, officials being without funds q
authority in advance Of the new
I legislation. Commissioner BabcocA
promptly named John q. Muller, chief
engineer, as first assistant and the biz
task of perfecting larger organikatio,

tion asking the club to endorse pro-
posed game reserve on the land between
State Road No. and the 500 Line

recommend the closing of this land to

it would be endorsed by the club.

ed as having better than average
trunk routes or sections scheduled for
carly permanent Improvement.
The showing reflected the depart
ment policy Of spreading permanent
construction that the maximum num-
ber,o sections might share in early
permanent benefits as well as those
made general by extensive maintenance.
Commissioner Ba'bcock said the de-
partment is better situated to give ser
vice this year: Headquarters are in
the new building put up especially for
its use and leased at less than half the
rental rate pail formerly The prin-
cipal concern Of the department is that
of funds, the commissioner said, re-
ferring to, unexpected financial handi-
caps. The average motor vehicle tax
being $16.75 instead Of $18, the auto
mobile revenue was $5 800, 0,0O0~in round
figures last year, when $6,000,000 ol
more was predicted, he said, and there
is slight likelihood Of any increase this
year. .-..
Federal aid cut by congress last year,
Minnesota received $2,130,000 and this
year may get. only .$l,42O, 900, instead
Of $2,s4O,0O0.. annually as expected.
Thus the revenues for the 2-year period
may be $3,O0O,00e less than was anti
cipated. :5s ,:.-
But in spite of sthe reduced funds
available, Mr.. Babcock continued, low.
er road building costs andoother factors
may enable the department. to keep the
improvement and maintenance pace
set the first year. The great regret, he
added, is that the state is not in a
financial position to take advantage of
the prices now offered and build the
trunk highway betterments needed ir
virtually every county in. the state.
tsWith local road authorities gener.
ally giving business-like attention te
their duties and earnest efforts being
made on. all sides to get q full dollar 4
worth for every road dollar, the pub
lie may be assured of steadily improv
ling highway both trunk and local
as necessary funds are forthcoming
said Commissioner Babcock.

LAST BUFFALOES HAVE PEACEFUL EXISTENCE
 IN CANADIAN NORTH

EDMONTON, Alta, Sept 22.-Un, afraid of man, the last remaining herds of buffalo on the continent live a peaceful and unobstructed life on a rivers, and the Great Slave lake, and it is expected within a short time their territory will be turned into a sanctuary, closed to all trappers and hunters. They have inhabited this district for many years and are be, lieved to be on the increase, the vari ous herds probably numbering about 5000 head now.
 The country in which they live is mixture of prairie patches, wooded land and rolling hills, interspersed with brule; here the buffalo feed dur. ing the open season, returning to the low land during the winter where they live on the plentiful red top hay in the sloughs. AS far as is known, they never migrate beyond this range and as a general rule follow one line of sloughs travelling to pastures new as the grass gets eaten and tramped down.
 J. M. Street, trapper of Peace Point, upon his return from the north country recently brought reports from the bison range. He travels this dis trict all winter, as his trap lines are run through the range, and so is well acquainted with the buffalo.
 MT Street states that the buffalo range is a maze of heavily marked trails which run in all directions. Ere quently one meets herds of from 35 to 40 buffalo, and several times last season the trapper states that he camc upon one band of bulls which mum bered 50. He is of the opinion that g large bull from this herd would dress about 2,40O pounds.
 Maxwell Grahame, of the depart ment of the interior, is now in the north Investigating the feasibility ot establishing a buffalo sanctuary.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE TO MEET YEARLY TO
 CONTINUE WORK

The first Alaska Teachers Institute, which closed at Ketchikan on Septem- Der 1, last, was successful in every re- spect, according to Commissioner L.. D. Henderson. So gratifying were the results, that it is proposed to hold a similar gathering of teachers in Alaska schools every year. Ketchi- kan will be the permanent meeting place.
 Disarranged steamship schedules, MT. Henderson said, cut into the at tendance materially, and instead of the 100 who had been expected to attend, only "A teachers were present. Every incorporated town in the Territory, with the exception of Nome, however, was represented. In all, teachers from 24 schools attended and it was the conviction of everyone that the lnst1- tute had been distinctly worthwhile and of decided value to both the teach CTS and to the Territory.
 Two organizations connected with schools in the Territory were launched during the sessions of the Institute. One, the Alaska Education Associa- ton, with membership covering teach CTS in Territorial schools, will hold it's session annually at Ketchikan CO., incident with the annual Teachers In stitute. The other is the Alaska Inter- school Association. The object of the latter is to promote literary and athletic contests and meets between schools in various sections of the Ter ritory. Under the bylaws adopted, the Commissioner of Education is empow-

"BABE-Y' RUTH
 IS PEEVISH SAYSSTR0LLER

Is Ruth's star waning, asks Strol- ler'sWeekly. The indications are that it is.
 It looks as though the idol of a year ago is leaving the arena of baseball on greased skids.
 The trouble with the big boob seems to be that he imagines everybody is striving to knock him and he feels sore.
 For a long time his ears were turned to the grandstand for compliments, but jibes and misses are mostly what he hears now.
 His talk about how many umpires he can whip is not interesting to the pub lie in the slightest degree. The ques- tion is, can he come back as batter?
 It is no longer Babe" Ruth, but "Babe-y" Ruth and he is too thin skinned, too narrow-gauge to conceal the fact that he worries over his self imposed decline.
 He has fallen down on ms nlttlnS and he will never get back as long as he essays the role of martyr and bids for sympathy. The public never sympathizes with a grouch.
 Babe Ruth is entertaining ter rife 'peeve" just as though he was the first baseball player that was ever ridden, jibed and jeered by the fans. and unless he comes out of it, his ca reer is ended.

cred to name boards of control for the several sections which are to have charge of and promote the contests. MT. Henderson said it is probable that two such boards will be appointed within a short time, one for Southeast ern Alaska, and the second for the Third and Fourth divisions. It is ex- pected that there will be a meet be- tween Southeastern Alaska schools and a separate one between the Third and Fourth division schools next spring

FIVE ROADS ARE APPROVED
 FOR SURVEY

The approval by Secretary Wallace of the Department of Agriculture of location surveys, aggregating 29 miles, on five projects and allotment by him of lump sum of $30,000 road funds to the Forest Service for miscellaneous work and emergencies were announced today by District Forester Charles H. Flory says the Juneau Empire of Sept. 12 Estimat- ed expenditures on four of the five projects approved for survey in volve in round figures $280,000, while no estimates have as yet been made on the fifth project. The cost of surveys, which will be made this fall, will be approximately $12,- 900.
 Three of the roads are in districts in the Chugach National Forest and two in the Tongass Forest. In the latter a location survey on a route from Sitka to Indian Creek, four miles, was approved. This project involves the construction of new road three miles long and reconstruc- tion of one mile. The estimated cost is $50,000. The other Tongass forest project is the Saxman-Ketchikan sec ton of Tongass Highway, the Secre- tary approving location of a three mile stretch The estimated cost of constructing this section of the high way is $60,0O0.
 The location surveys approved in the Chugach Forest are: Girdwood- Crow Creek, Hope-Palmer Creek, and Hope-Sunrise. The first is 10 miles long and it is estimated that it will cost $100,000 to construct the entire road The. second is 13 miles long, the cost of completed construction being estimated at approximately $70,000 The third is nine miles in made as to it's cost.
 "All of our field work on our con- plete road construction program will be completed early this winter" said MT. Flory. we expect to have all surveys completed, estimates and data complied and the complete pro- gram will be forwarded to Washing ton for approval in December. We hope to have all work advertised for contract and the contracts awarded in February. This will allow the contractors to get an early start and do a full seasons work"
 MT. Flory said also that the allot- ment by Secretary Wallace of the $30,000 lump sum road fund to the district would facilitate greatly in handling small projects involving the expenditure of a few hundred or thousand dollars. With this fund to draw on, as it is eXpendable at the discretion of the District Forester it will be possible to take immediate action on numerous small projects and on needed maintenance work, he
