terminal will be made. Local roads in the vicinity of Anchorage will be suitably maintained.
 Roads serving farm properties in the vicinity of Homer and on Kodiak Island, will be maintained and improved to some extent. Im- provement will also be made on the road from Iditarod to Flat and the Ophir-T -Takotna road will be maintained at it's present standard.
 Nome District
 The tram road from Nome to Shelton will be kept in running condition. It does not seem prac- ticable this year to provide for ex- tensions to this tram road, ana such extensions must be deferred until considerably larger appropria- tions are forthcoming. The road from Nome to Council will be giv- en some overhauling with a view to improving it's condition. The Nome Osborne road will also be improved to some extent. All of the other roads and trails of the Sew ard Peninsula will be maintained to present standards.
 The flood protection work at Seward, which was affected last year, will be continued so far as practicable and the funds appro- priated by Congress, the Territory and local interests, will permit.
 Work yet to be done on this pro- ject consists of removing snags and logs which might be washed down into the Hume.
 Construction of a drift barrier to collect floating logs and trees and prevent their entrance into the Hume, is also under consideration, by the Road Commission, Major Elliott said.

in any International Highway that may develop later, through White Horse, Y. T., and Hazelton, B. C., connecting Alaska with continental United States
 The necessity for the Gulkana- Chisana route has been evident for some time, but until this year funds for commencing active oper- ations have not been available.
 Various short routes, connecting with the Copper River Railroad, at Mccarthy, will be given ordinary maintenance and some improve ment.
 Fairbanks District
 The Richardson Highway will be maintained between Rapids and Fairbanks. This section of the highway is in very good shape and very little, if any improvement will be required.
 The Steese Highway, extending from Fairbanks to Circle, will be maintained and improved. The principal improvements are at the northeast end where grading was done last summer, and considerable surfacing is now required. This route will doubtless be very heav- fly travelled because of the freight ing for the maintenance of the ditch line and also in connection with mining operations in the vi entity of Deadwood.
 It is expected that the Steese Highway will become a favorite route for tourists entering or leav- ing the Interior of the Territory
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-03-29

by way of Skagway anG the Yukon River. A branch of the Steese Highway leads to Circle Hot Springs which is becoming a popular va cation ground for the people of Central Alaska.
 The local roads around Fairbanks and the tram road to Liyengood will be suitably maintained. Con- struction will be continued on the road from Ruby to Poorman where mining operations are in progress. Roads in the vicinity of Wiseman and Coldfoot will be maintained and improved to some extent and other roads and trails in the Yu- kon and Panama valleys will be maintained.
 The Yukon -Kuskokwim portage will be undertaken in case the ap- propriation now under considera- tion by the Legislature is made. This is cooperative enterprise in which the cost IS shared by the Territory and the Alaska Road Commission.
 Southwestern District
 The road system in the Willow Creek-Matanuska area will be maintained and some extensions undertaken, particularly in the min ing section in the neighborhood of the Talkeetna Mountain. Some work may be undertaken on the Iliamna Bay-Iliamna Lake road, provided it is found that the east ern end of the proposed road is accessible from Cook Inlet. This road will very materially shorten the route to the Lake Clark re- zion, to which access is now had through Bristol Bay. In any event, careful survey and loca- ton of the proposed road and it's

HIGH SCHOOL.
 0PE:RET1TA TO
 OPEN TONIGHT
Musical Show Will Be Civ en at Elks' Hall Tonight
 and Tomorrow Night

Something new in the way of en- tertainment is promised by those producing the High School oper- etta at the Elks' Hall tonight and tomorrow night. In addition to an interesting list of principals there will be a chorus of 37 Sailor Maids and Life Guards, attractive costuming and scenery, some clever speciality dances by Harriet Holl- rlan and Gardner Leighton, and a picked orchestra of Is pieces.
 The musical production is being staged by the high school under the direction of Miss Dorothy Fish CT Miss Ardena Leer is the dra- n1atic coach and Miss Dorothy Chisholm is managing the show and directing the chorus work. Cos tuning is being taken care of by Miss Helen Gray, who had some ordered from Leubens in Seattle and others made under her super vision here. The Sailor Maids and Life Guards will have snappy nau- tical costumes in the first Act, and in the second are to appear in more. formal garb.
 Musical numbers will be sung by Alex Kiloh, Dorothy Bakke, Xenia Kashevaroff, Brian Harland, Edna Riendeau, Billy Sparks, and of course, the ensemble.
 The scene of the musical com edy is the same during the two acts, a lighthouse and the home oi Cyrus Templeton, keeper, played by Carl Jensen, on the New Eng land seacoast. Action all takes place on the eighteenth birthday of his daughter, Frances Marie who will be portrayed by Dorothy Bake.
 Briefly sketched, the plot has to do with confused identity, dual love affair, some harmless schem- ing. which results in difficulties which are finally explained away leaving each maid with her chosen lover and the blessing of Cyrus The launching of yacht, given to Frances Marie for a birthday pres ent, and a party at the lighthouse arc the occasion for all the fun.
 Everyone at the high school has been working hare d for severa weeks to make the show success and a large crowd is looked for both nights of it's presentation to prove their efforts worthwhile.
