Some Description


 Providing the above Bill is passed the survey would probably swing northeast out of Fairbanks toward Circle, on the Yukon river, thence northwest passing Fort Yukon, con- tinuing on through Chandalar Pass over the Endicott range of mountains. and thence toward Point Barrow on the Arctic Ocean.
 The other route mentioned, would be along the route of the Richardson Highway, but swinging to the left of Mount Blackburn, Skotia Pass, then westward to Mccarthy. Last summer Joe Ulmer, field engineer for the All aska Road Commission made com prehensive survey for trails and wag- on roads thru the latter country des- cribed and, reported to the Gateway wagon roads thru that area would open up tremendously rich country in po- tential resources.
 Little is known of the region located within the Arctic Circle due to it's isolation which has made it almost impossible for the average prospector to enter that portion of Alaska. What little prospecting has been accomplish ed, and from what has been learned thru Government reports, it is virgin mineral field as well as being indica- tive of oil and coal deposits of tre- mendous magnituditness.

Propose To Connect Copper River & Northwestern with the Alaska Railroad and Make One Huge Govern ment Enterprise.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. IT. (AP).-Congress- man Perlman, republican of New York, introduced a bill II the House in which he pro- posed an expenditure of one hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of making permanent surveys in con- nection with future railroad construction in Alaska.
 The Bill proposes the Gov ernment use the railroads now in Alaska flor postal, military and telegraph pur- poses. It also would extend the Alaska Railroad to the Yukon river from Fairbanks through to the Chandalar Pass and up into the Arctic region; also from Fairbanks thru the rich agricultural district of the Panama Val ley, thence around Skotai Pass to the Interior terminal of the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad al Mccarthy. This latter route would take in the rich White River country, which if de. veloped would emulate the KennecOtt district.

TERRAPIN GETS RARE
AS EPICURES LAMENT
Marshes Formerly 0verrun With
Wild Ones, But Now They
Are Hard to Find.
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, November 1S.-Once
so plentiful that Maryland legislators
saw fit to limit it's use as food, the
Chesapeake diamond back terrapin, de-
light Of epicures, today is so scarce
that State conservation officials face
the problem Of protecting the ''turpin"
itself from extinction in it's wild state.
Time was when the marshes that
fringe the eastern shore of Chesapeake
Bay were Overrun with terrapins.
Years before the old timers learned to
appreciate the delicately favored
black meat in it's rich broth, only
a statute forbidding slaves to be fed
on terrapin more than three times a
week prevented their masters from
furnishing the then costless turtle as
a steady diet.
Their very numbers led to their
downfall Until about 80 years ago
the supply was so great that con-
Servation measures were unthought
Of. Then. with q disconcerting sud
denness, the terrapins began to dis
appear. While they still are to be
found occasionally in the old marshes.
yearly they become scarcer. Obtaina-
BILE now almost solely from a few
"terrapin farms" and at a cost of
from S45 upward per dozen. they vir-
tually have vanished as market COM
modify.
The diamond back Is q small turtle
and many are required. A Chesa-
peake terrapin mea assuring more than
inches in length along the bot
tom shell is a rarity.
Baltimore's premier terrapin cook.
Peter Herndon. aged negro, declares
that the few terrapin dinners he is
called upon to prepare nowadays re-
quire just about twice as many turtles
as they would have 10 years ago. Not
that the diamond-backs are smaller.
but it seemed that with wine at hand
the dinners Of a past decade needed
less terrapin for that satisfactory
feeling" Sherry was to the epicure
an indispensable ingredient Of the dish.

From the London It'd Bits.
Golf is a game Of skill and patience.
At the same time it is also a great
strain on veracity.
Four men were playing a match on
a course in which the ninth hole lay
over a deep ravine.
Three of them went in the ravine.
but by a stroke of fortune the fourth
cleared il and found himself almost on
the green. The others inspected their
respective lies, and two of them de-
cided TO give up the hole. The third
said he would go down and play out,
and he did.
How many strokes7" asked the
others. when he reappeared.
Three" he answered shorty.

JAPANESE AND BASQUES
DESCENDED FROM JEWS
Savant Traces Origin Of Races to
Two Of the Lost Tribes
of Israel.

LONDON, November Correspond
ence).-That the japanese and the
Basques are descendants Of two Of
the lost tribes of Israel is the conclu-
sion Of DR.. Yoshitomi, a Japanese
savant, who has spent most Of the
Summer near San Sebastian studying
the origin of the Basques.
DIR. Yoshitomi draws attention to
the physical resemblance between the
Basques, the Japanese and the ma
jority Of athletic Jews, and contends
that the three races undoubtedly be-
long to the same clinical group.
Paolino, the Spanish Basque boxer,
who is a typical specimen Of his race,
might easily be mistaken for q
Japanese wrestler.
The most remarkable connection
discovered by DR.. Yoshitomi between
such widely separated races as the
Basques and the Japanese, however.
is the similarity between the Japanese
tongue and the language Of the
Basques. the origin of which has
hitherto baffied all European experts
because it bears not the slightest re-
lationship to any known European
language, either dead or living.
Thus DR.. Yoshitomi points out that
the word "mousoko" in Japa and
the word "moutiko" in Basque both
mean a young man; that the mascu-
line gender in Japanese is formed by
the addition of the sound 'osu' and
in the Basque by the sound ''osa":
that the feminine gender in Japanese
is indicated by me" and by 'eme" in
Basque.
In support of his theory DIR. Yoshi-
toni points out that in India. China
and Japan there are numerous Hebrew
communities which plainly do not
descend from the Jews Of Europe, but
whose origin, like that of the Japanese
and Basques, is much more remote.
