MUCH HIGHWAY WORK
DONE DURING YEAR
But improvements Hardly Offset
Loss of Gravel by Wear of
Traffic, BabcOck States.

The Minnesota highway department
has paved 1913 miles, graded $40
miles and expects to complete the
graveling of $50 miles of new road
before the end of the year, according
to a bulletin received by the Amer
lean. The maintenance division has
also graveled or re-graveled $50 miles
of highway.
In spite of this work, Commissioner
C. M. Babcock says he doubts that the
general condition of the unpaved
roads is as good as it was year ago
Besides the usual loss due to the ever
increasing traffic, there was heavy
loss of gravel during the long wet
period last spring.
The coming of November and freez-
ing weather usually brings let-up
in highway construction work. The
paving program is all completed, ex-
cept some shouldering, and most OF
the 1927 grading projects are done
In some cases contractors will be
several weeks finishing large jobs
Several contractors have started on
contracts to be completed in 1928 and
expect to work during the winter.
Crawling also continues late into the
fall and winter. There is never a
total stand-still in modern road con-
struction.
The new paving is about 80 miles
less than built in 1926 and is much
less than built in Wisconsin or Iowa.
The Minnesota Highway department
is devoting large part of it's con-
struction funds to grading, so that
routes which are intended for paving
in the near future will have ample
time to settle.
Much of the paving to be done dur
ing the next few years is on high
ways where the permanent location
goes through territory requiring deep
cuts and fills. In such cases it is
desirable to give the new grades one
whole summer and two winters to
settle. Where the sub-grade is pro-
perly settled and compacted, cracks
and says rarely occur in the concrete
slab, and such pavement may be ex-
pected to last many decades. BY
grading as many of these routes as
possible, the department will have
them ready for paving as soon as
funds are available.
Part of the new crawling has been
on routes intended for paving within
a year or two. In such cases Eight
gravel, about 500 yards to the mile,
is applied. This not only carries
traffic during the waiting period, but
it gives better base for the pave
ment and reduces the cost of paving
by making it easier to haul material
to the mixer. On newly graded routes
not intended for paving within two
years, "heavy" gravel, usually 1,5OO
cubic yards to the mile, is applied

Cottage cheese is delicious in sal
ads. Pile it lightly on lettuce leaves
or shredded cabbage. Add a colorful
garnish such as diced picked beet,
strips of pimento, chopped green pep
per, or sliced raw tomato, and French
mayonnaise, or boiled dressing. Or
for more elaborate salad, mix the
cheese with chopped nuts or olives
and form into balls or mold in cups
Cottage cheese also combines we'll
with fruits, fresh, stewed, or canned,

Pear salad is unusually good.
Either fresh or canned pears may be
used. If using canned pears, drain
the fruit, but save the pear juice for
fruit punch, with lemon or orange
juice added. Wash and chill the let
tuce so that it will be crisp. Arrange
the pears on the lettuce, sprinkle with
grated cheese and garnish with salad
dressing. Fresh pears must be pared
and cored just before serving or they
will discolor.

Loosely fitted long sleeves are most
becoming on fleshy arms. If open
at the wrists they are graceful and
comfortable. To make the arm seem
longer and more slender use bound

solidly in favor of big interest le- gislation, or against the passage of laws in favor of self government in the Territory of Alaska, they may be sure that some interest beside the public interest is being served.
 These opposing forces secured the votes of four Senators against thF passage of the Comptroller Bil, j in every form in which it was offer ed, viz, Senators Jensen, Pratt. Dunn and Howard. The other foul Senators, Brown, Frame, Hunt anl Steel, voted for it on every occa- sion, but the four negative votes de- feated the passage of the bill, for it needed five votes to pass.
 After the defeat of the bill in the Senate it was again introduced ill the House ill a modified form to meet the objections made against 1t by Dunn and Howard in the Senate. It passed the House with vote of nine ayes and seven noes. It was then sent to the Senate, but How ard, president of the Senate, in an arbitrary and unlawful ruling, sustained by the votes of the four Senators who defeated it on the first vote, refused to allow it to be received by the Senate, even for another vote, and thus by the votes of Jensen, Pratt, Dunn and Howard. the only chance for govern ment against appointive Federal Bureaucracy was ruthlessly and shamefully slaughtered In 8 legisia- ture elected by the people of Alas. ka
 If Senator Dunn had voted for this American plan of self-gOVernment in Alaska, the bill would have pass ed; if Howard had voted for it, all so, it would have been passed over the Governors veto, and would have become a law But both of then kept faith with the Tory opponents of a Democratic form of govern ment, and defeated it.
 It was thought for a time that Senator Dunn would finally vote against free government in Alaska But the Juneau Umpire and Strol ler's Weekly, both supporting the non-public interests, pulled" him ir their editorials and by copying his tirades against the bill, until he forgot that an Irishman ought tC vote for home rule Tn his last great windmill speech against self government he declared that he had been approached by some evil dis posed person to vote for it. He likened the '.approach' to that event in sacred history where the Savior was conducted to the noun tain top and shown all the king doms of the earth he might control if he would fall down and worship the devil.
 There was really some basis o1 truth in this tale of the Ruby Je- sus, too, for during one of his pre- vious outbursts he declared the Comptroller Bill was being support ed by men who wished to secure the appointment of one of it's sup pol LeIS dS COnpCfOlI6r III case the bill passed. One of his brother Senators, however, assured him that he was mistaken, that the election of a man to serve as Comptroller until the general election by the people in 1928, was not agreed up on, and that if he (Senator Dump and his friends would vote for and pass the bill, they might name the man to act until 1928! Dunn re- fused to bow down and worship the devil of self-government; he refused to support the bill even though he

GOVERNOR WOODS DIES

Governor General Leonard Wood, of the Philippine Islands died in the Peter Bent Brigham hospital, Boston following an oueration for the removal of a tumOr.
 He had been in ill health for some time but fully expected to re- cover and return to his post in the Orient.
 An intimate friend of the late President Roosevelt, he was a man of exceptional ability and was the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Ser vice Cross,
 He was a storm center in military circles owing to his promotion over regular line officers and due to the removal and transfer from his command during the World War and President Wilson's refusal to permit him to go to Europe with that command
 As presidential candidate his chances of securing the nomination went aglimmering when it was shown vast sums were being spent to secure his nomination and cleo tion.
 His record as administrative off, cer in the Philippine Islands was inI keeping with his army records and he stood high in the esteem of the present administration at Washing ton.

TO RAISED TAXES

Last year the south end of Peters burg was incorporated within the been incorporated longer than three months, yet paid a full years tax on their property-bringing in to- tai revenue of something like $5,OOO.
 The idea of joining in with the town proper, these people wanted certain fire protection, water service and repair of streets. Just little distance past the millbridge is the last hydrant and the entire soutA end of the town is without any fire protection of any sort. Some draw water from the swamps and a few others have a two inch pipeline to draw from.
 Notice of tax assessments of this euu Ol LOW Il luulCdIG COuSluGFdDIG increase without any accruing ben eft other than having the name of being a part of the city.
 Expenses are running up-new hydro-electric equipment, addition to the schoolhOuse brings new debts up approximately $30,000 with the present bonded indebtedness of $150,000 brings the total to approx imately $2OO,O0O.
 Too heavy taxation drives away business and makes future home builders think twice before going into the expense of building.
 It has been said that the town is willing to add another fifty thou sand dollars indebtedness-an idea which might we'll be put to the test of the taxpayer and not leave to institutions which would benefit from such indebtedness

HARTLEY TOWARDS
 RECORD By JAMES WICKERSHAM In The ALASKA FISHERMAN
THE VOTE AGAINST SELF
 GOVERNMENT

The Federal Bureaus, the cannery lobbyists and others who wish to prevent the passage of any bill through the Alaska legislature for the better government of the Ter ritory always begin their corrupt ing work with the Territorial Sen ate, for it consists of only eight members. If these corroding in t1uences can secure control of four Senators they can thereby prevent the passage of any Act by the 1egis- lature, for it requires the af1irma- tive votes of five Senators to pass any bill through that body. The control of four of these Senators,
 therefore, prevent the passage of any bill, even though the House members be unanimously in favor of it. Whenever the people of Alaska see four Senators standing
