Several times Armstrong re-
ceived breaks which could have
been turned into scores but the
needed punch by the Poets al
ways stopped thei march. The
winning score came as a surprise
to the 1000 spectators.
Forced to kick from near their
goal post, Tech tacklers rushed
through the Dunbar line, block
ing Minis kick before he could
get the ball away. On two line
plays Shorter, stellar Tech full
back,' carried the pigSkin over
from the five-yard line.
A line plunge for the extra
point was broken up by Dun
bar, the final score being
s to O.
The game was featured by the
broken field r ,nning of Arm
strong, Tech quarterback, who
on one occasion ran a Dunbar
punt back so yards. Among the
other outstanding players were
Davis, quarterback; Minis and
Robinson, halfbacks, for Dun
bar, and Starks, Shorter and
Wallace, halfbacks, for Tech.

WHAT MORE ROADS

 AND SEWARD PENINSULA

not only keep the output of gold up to normal, but materially in crease the same.
 Take for example the Dry Greek Dredging Company, which is at our door This creek was mined by pick and shovel in the early days and was termed in the miners phrase-'a starvation pro- position, with the exception of two or three claims During the last few years, a dredge has been installed and is working this creek at a fair profit, but I fully believe that if this creek was any distan- ce in the interior; that it would cost them from s75OO to s10O.0O a ton for the transportation of their machinery and fuel, it could not be worked at a profit. This is exactly the situation that now confronts us relative to placer mining. One of these roads alone, which We are recommending in our report. has at least twenty of those small creeks which were mined in the early days by the pick and shovel methods and many of them returned good profits. ev en in this crude way of mining. know some of the owners of these creeks who have tried to interes. capital in financing them tc put on small dredge. some thing like the Dry Creek Dredge which l have just mentioned. but when they ascertained the price of freighting this machinery and fuel inland, their proposition was turn ed down. When you go to haul heavy material, even a distance of only twenty-five miles through tun dra swamps thawed out, from three to six feet deep, over nigger heads, through streams and gulches, some places seemingly without bottom. it makes very eXorbitant bill for the man who is going to pay the same, and nine times out of ten a loss for the man who does the freighting. This is the sit nation exactly as far as these placer mining creeks are concern ed, and will be so unless we get roads so that the necessary equip ment can be transported from tide water at a reasonable price This also applies to lode mining. On one these roads which We asked for, We have four promising quartz ledges. To demonstrate why these lode properties are lying dormant-active prospecting and development work has been going

If you will kindly print this letter in your valuable paper, it will probably explain the situation in a meagre detail, and may also have the tendency to arouse interest in program for our much needed roads.
 Two identical letters were sent by the writer, one to MT. Alfred J. Lomen in the House of Repre- sentatives and chairman of the Road Committee in the House. and the other to MT. R. N. Sund quist, Long Term Senator from this Division. One of these let ters is as follows:

cluding yourself, have asked me for some suggestions as to the needs of Alaska which might be of some benefit to them in legis- lating at Juneau. Personally, as far as laws are concerned, l be- lieve we have plenty. if not too many, at the present time, but there are several things that Al aska needs and particularly this section, much more than it does laws.
 "One of our most vital needs at the present time is ROADS. l have served on the Territorial
 Board almost, believe, since this body was organized. and I am familiar with the wants and nee ls of roads on Seward Peninsula. am enclosing you copy of our recommendations to the Juneau Territorial Poard (which is part of our duties.) Our immediate wants are for roads, and it fig ures up approximately about two hundred miles of new wagon road which is needed right now, not twenty-five years from now. In order to sustain and increase our output of gold which has been and is the principal product of Seward Peninsula. According to a table of sta tistics compiled by the Geo logical Survey for the Interior Department rom 1926 to 1927, just one year our output of gold increased almost one million dol lars. The Geological Survey gave numerous reasons for this decrease the principal one being climatic conditions. But they did not give the reason which is attributable to this part of the country, and that is the lack of roads. Nat urally the mines adjacent to the | already built roads are getting
 worked out and depleted, con- sequently the falling off of gold l output. According to the statis- tics l have just mentioned, com pleted by the Geological Survey, from 1927 to 1928 there is an in- crease in the output of gold. but according to same statistics, the , increase came from lode mining i and dredges built by the Fairbanks Exploration Company at Fair banks, so that this goes to show that We are still on the alarming decrease, and som mething must be done to keep the output up to normal at least, and l fully be- lieve that if we could get a pro gram which l am going to out line to you to try out. it would

The writer of the following let Ger needs no introduction to the pe -ple of Seward Peninsula as W .. Rowe is intimately acQudint- ed not only with the people, but with every section of Seward Pen fnsula whose needs and resources he is first hand authority upon
 MT. Rowe came to Dawson in 'sS and from there he came to Nome in 1900 and since then has engaged in he transfer business.
 He has handled all the material for the dredges in this section and in contiguous sections, in fact where heavy machinery had to be handled, it was leave it to Billy and Billy never fell down on the job.
 MT Rowe has concentrated on the transportation problem and no man knows better than he, the necessity Ol lOduS, anu "heH ihoN ing material, and knowing that straight line was the shortest dis tance between two points, he built his own roads which were in many cases followed by our present sys- tenn. In the roads built in early days by MT Rowe, he used his own money, knowing that the add ed ease of transportation would repay him for his investment and today he has no regret for the money spent in road building, for that money was returnel to him through the better transportation facilities developed.
 All the resources that MT. Rowe has at his disposal are centered in Nome, where he has his family and the future of Seward Penin- sula looks bright to him and he does not think that this dis trict is asking for too much when it asks for million dollar key to unlock billion dollar treas ury and that is but a conserva- tive estimate of the mineral wealth contained in our different mining sections. And again it may be rem embered that the wealth de- rived will not be kept in here but goes to enrich the commercial channels of the nation.
 In early days, when litigation was the order of the day, and min CT and mine owners were separat- ed from their dust by devious means MT. Rowe was their conf- dent and handled their gold dust during the dangerous period and managed with great success.
 The knowledge so gained by intimate contact not alone with the miners but with the potential wealth of the country has been increased each year, until now, outside of the special knowledge of the geologists, it is safe to as- sert that no man in Seward Pen insula has greater store of knowledge and needs of this dis trict than ".

some well known substances in experi-
ments at Harvard University.
Parafin. under pressures ranging be-
tween 100000 to 100000 pounds a

Percy w. Bridgman pronounced it
harder than machine steel. Rubber be-
came so hard that it was pronounced
usable as a die to form steel.
Oil became useless as q lubricant, be-
cause it turned solid. Mercury, after
a pressure of $4,000 pounds began to
escape. the theory being that its atoms
were forced between those composing
the steel chamber in which it was I'M

MARSHALL, Mo-, January 2.-Blaine
NJ Tuxhorn hoped off in his OPEN
cockpit monoplane at 1854 am. today
in an attempt to establish new en-
durance flight record by refueling in
the air by using synchronized cata-
putting device.
The ground was Snow-covered and the
thermometer hovered about 5 degrees
above zero when the Kansas City
aviator and his co-pilot, Leonard
Rhiner, took the air. No trouble was
experienced in getting off the ground.
The plane carried Is gallons of gas
oline, enough fuel for seven to eight
hours, and planned to refuel for the
first time about 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Tuxhorn planned to fly at an eleva-
tion of about 1000 feet.
Although cold, the weather was bright
and clear with prospects of the mercury
climbing considerably
When the flyers had been in the air
half an hour Tuxhorn dropped a note
saying they had forgotten the leather
face masks which were to protect them
from the icy blasts. He asked that
these be included when breakfast was
sent up in a container by the refueling
device.
To break the endurance record set
by Belgian flyers the little monoplane
must stay aloft until 9:O3 o'clock Friday
night.
Tuxhorn and Rhiner had planned to
hop off at o'clock this morning, but
were delayed by mechanical and equip
Ynant trouble Then thew derided tn
get some sleep before starting their ad-
venture.
The refueling device constructed by
Tuxhorn catapults four gallon contain
ers into the air when set off by q hook
attached to a cable dropped from the
plane. The containers are projected
along the line of flight at approximately
the speed Of the plane and are hauled
aboard by winch operated by a small,
wind-driven propeller The gasoline is
pumped from the container into the
fuel tank and then the container is
dropped with a parachute.

FORESEES VICTORY
Claims Enough Support to
Remove Brother as Sal

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 2.-Evangeline
Booths headquarters said today that
a sufficient number of votes in the
high council had been assured to re-
move Gen. Bramwell Booth as COM
mander-in-chief and effect a reorgan-
ization of the Salvation Army.
1t was asserted that more than the
necessary three -fourths of the high
councillors would follow the program
of the American commander.
Permission to see her sick brother
has been refused Miss Booth.
Gen. Booths wife in refusing her sis
ter-in- laws request said it would be i'm
possible for her to see the commander
in-chief at present because it was feared
that he could not withstand the excite
ment. Mrs. Booth expressed regret at
having to deny the American leaders
request.
An official of Miss Booths party said
she could not obtain any definite in
formation respecting the real condition
of Gen Booth at international head
quarters. The staff there appeared to
be as much in the dark concerning the
health of their commander -in-chief as
was Miss Booth.
The official also said that Commits
sioner Catherine Booth, daughter of the
general, had received a note from
Comdr. Evangeline asking to see her
Commissioner Catherine replied that It
was impossible for her to do so at the
moment, although both were in the
headquarters at the same time. Later
the commissioner left headquarters
without attempting to see her aunt.
