compared with most of the high ways already built There are no
 difficult engineering problems to
 be solved, no expen i've bridges to be
 b1i't and no expensive cuts or fills
 to be made. Moreover, the trail
 has already been laid out to the
 railroad, the large trees cut and
 cleared away when the dog trail
 was made so the task would not be
 nearly as expensive ats it would were
 the project entirely new
 4th The conservation of salmon
 and the protection of fur bearing animals has been the cause of a great deal of financial distress here.
 While this policy of the government is absolutely just and wise the con- Istruction of a road at this time by furnishing employment to a limited number of labOrerS here would tend to relieve this distress. Also were communication with the outer world more easy a great many of the younger men would Beck work outside, who are now naturally un- willing to leave their families under the health conditions in which they are placed ..
 5th: As the village is entirely without fire protection and is dur ing the winter season dependent upon the food supply carried by the two stores here, it IS appalling to think what would happen should a disastrous fire break out. It would seem that before an adequate SUD- ply of food could be obtained many must inevitably perish of starva- tion.
 9th: The construction of the road asked for would not only serve the community of Kenai but would also open the community of Kusilof, where there are a number of we'll to-do fox ranchers, and the com- munity of Nenilchik, a village of some 400 inhabitants. The road would thus serve over 1000 people.
 7th: Kenai peninsula IS the chief objective of big game hunters from the states The opening of the road suggested would materially de- crease the difficulty of reaching the hunting grounds and lessen the ex- pense of the trip and shorten the time required and thus nave a marked tendency to increase this source of revenue to the Territo~v.
 The above, Gentlemen of the Road Commission, are the chief reasons that embolden your peti- tionerS to ask that the construction of a road to connect Kenai with Seward be at least begun during the coming year Tf the sum appears to you large at first glance please place in the scale over against it the lives and safety of nearly 5OO human beings. The conservation Iof material resources by the nation 0al government is, as we have said above, a wise and just policy, but is mot the conservation of the lives land health of men and women and the well being and safety of little children ot infinitely more import lance and should they not weigh

SYLVESTER DEATH

ManiaCal Assault Held Probable
 Cause in WOnan'S Death

Hartford. March 8 [P}-Still baf- tery surrounding the death of Mrs. Frances Sylvester. 50-year- old East Hartford woman whose body was found in the heavy underbrush which skirts the Connecticut boule- ward northeast of the dry bridge, Tuesday morning, the Hartford po- lice today continued to run down the numerous vague clues which have come in since the discovery of the crime.
 The theory that the woman, mother of l ? children, was the vic tim of q maniacal assault, is pre- dominant in the investigation, though the East Hartford police lacking any definite evidence, refuse to abandon altogether the possibility that she met death in some other way.
 Chief William J, Mckee is in clned to discount the idea that a family feud might have been re sponsble,. in view of the fact that the investigation has not disclosed any such situation of sufficient im- portance. The autopsy conducted by Dr. Henry N. Costello, medical OK aminer. has definitely shown that Mrs. Sylvester could not have been the victim of a hit and run driver The only injury found on the body was the crushed skull, inflicted with

FIND NEW PLANET
 BEYOND NEPTUNE
Harvard Observatory in Arizona
 Credited With Discovery

Cambridge, Mass, March 13 LP,- Professor Harlow Shapley. director or the Harvard observatory, today announced receipt of word from the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, Ari- zona, of the discovery there of a ninth major planet of the solar sys- tenn. The planet, as yet unnamed, is beyond Neptune and probably larger tha the earth but smaller than Uranus.
 Dr. Shapley hailed the discovery as one of the most important in as- tronomy since that of Neptune in 1S46. The year of research which led to the definite determination of the existence of the trans plume body have confirmed the belief of the late Percival Lowell brother of President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard, that such planet existed, Dr. Shapley said
 Systematic research begun years ago supplementing Lowell's investi- gation for a s-Neptunian planet has revealed an object which for seven weeks has in rate of motion and path consistency conformed to the ns-Neptunian body at the ap- proximate distance he assigned.
 Distance Unknown
 Dr. Shapley said the distance Of the new planet beyond Neptune had not been definitely computed and neither had it's orbit been calculated as far as he knew.
 The known planets until today were in the order of their remote ness from the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
 Mercury is only 2S,566, 900, 900 miles from the sun at it's nearest ap- proach while Neptune is calculated to be 2,769,0o0,ooo miles away.
 Neptune's passage around the sun requires 176 years.
 Neptune was discovered mathe- matically much in the same way that the existence of the new planet was first surmised because of certain pe- cularities in the orbit of Neptune Lowell's observations of the phe- nomena led him to deduce the eXis- Neptune
 Like Neptune, the new body is in visible to the naked eye.
