TRANSFER OF ALASKA
 ROAD COMMISSION TO DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR

The Act, Public No. 21S. 12nd
 Congress, lst session. approved June 30, 1892. transferred the duties of the Board of Road Comm issioners in the Territory of Alas ka from the War Department to the Department of the Interior.
 The Board functioned under the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, and the last president of the board was Malcolm Elliott. Corps of the Engineer
 The following are extracts from the last annual repOH of Chief of Engineers
 Organization And Duties
 The board was constituted by an act of Congress approved Jan uary 27. 1905. and it's duties are defined in that act as amended by Congress January 27. 1905, May IA. 1906, and March 3. 1913. The law prescribed that the board shall consist of three members. one of whom shall be an Engin- eer officer of that part of the Army stationed in said district.
 The hoard has the power and the duty. upon its own motion or upon petition, to locate, to lay out. construct, and maintain wagon roads and pack rails from any point on the navigable waters in the District of Alaska to any town mining or other industrial camp of settlement of between any such towns, camps. or settlements there- in. if in it's judgement such roads or trails are needed and will be of permanent value for the develop ment of the district
 The money therefor is derived. in part. from congressional appro- priations and in part from the Alaska fund made mp of moneys collected for occupation or trade license outside of the incorpor- ated towns in the Territory. 65 percent of which fund is devoted to the construction and mainten- ance of wagon roads. bridges and trails in the said Territory.
 The following act of Congress, approved May IS. 1930 (Pub. No, 22S. 71st CongD provides for a study regarding the construction of highway from the United States to Alaska:

 Offices or The Board
 The principal offices of the board is ar Juneau, Alaska. Sub offices are maintained. when re- qUired by active operations, at Val deg. Chitina. Fairbanks. Eagle. An chorage. Seward. Takotna. and Nome. Alaska. Seattle, Washington
 and Washington. D. C.
 Location And Description
 The work thus far accomplished includes the construction of l,66+%4 miles of wagon road. S7 milas of rramroad, 1,3s9L. miles of sled road 1926 miles of per manent trail, and 72l miles of temporary. flagged trail. total of 11.lSs miles.
 The Territory has an area Of 590.SS0 square miles. which is mors than twelve times the size of the State of New York. or prac- ti"ally one-fifrh the size of the United States proper. At its sou thern point it is 700 miles from the northwest point of the State of Washington by the usually tray eled route. Thence the southeast rrn Alaska Archipaiago and strip of main land lying west of the Canadian boundary extend north westerly for about 12O miles to the major portion of the Territory. which lies west of the one hun dred and foriy-tirsl meridian and iipH d I''I VI dbl'i VNIIl 900 miles north and south and 100 miles east and west, with the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Is lands reaching out from the sou thwestern portion nearly 2.500 miles toward Siberia
 Original Condition
 Board of Road Commissione: for Alaska there were in the whole of the Territory less than a do zen miles of what might be called wagon road. with a few hundred miles of pioneer trail, mostly con sfructed by expeditions under the War Department. Travel was largely confined to the open water ways in summer and to their frozen courses overland in winter, When mining machinery and other supplies were to be transported from the coast of river landing they were in most cases hauled over the snow during the winter, with some preliminary clearing of the route when necessary. Travel across country in summer, generally speaking. was possible only on foot or with pack horses It was difficult always, and ire quontly dangerous, on account Of the numerous swift and deep str cams. fed by the ice-cold and silt laden waters of mountain glac- iers.
 Effect Of Improvement
 The roads and trails constructed by the board have not only open ed up to development nearly all sections of the Territory but have effected large savings in freight charges. The major portion of this freight would not have been transported without roads, and the indirect loss that would have been occasioned by the restric- tion on output and development

 A Few Happenings.
 Defeat and misfortune stallked leading derby contenders last week as borne out by the following:
 Top Flight. Sunbeaten. in seven successive races as a juvenile, fn- ished fourth in the Wood Memor- ial. sf @.
 Burning Blaze was cut down in winning 6 1-2 furlong race at Churchill Downs when a small ten. don at the back of the heel was severed by another horse.

 Evening, a Ally not eligible for the derby. showed up nine other derby eligibies in winning the Chesapeake stakes at Havre de Grace.
 In Reserve.
 Springsteel finished out of the money in the Chesapeake stakes after beating Tick On in mile an 70 yards race on Wednesday. ,,i.
 Tn the new line of cohtenders appeared prominently today the names of Burgoo King and Brother Joe, Col. l.. R. Bradley's Kentucky born and bred entry, Universe and Economic, which ran oneAtwo In the Wood Memorial and Stepen- fetchit, which ran second in the Chespeake stakes.
 There is a difference of opinion as to which Is the better horse. Burgoo King or Brother Joe, but there Is no argument to the fact that Col. Bradley of Kentucky and Palm Beach has strong derby hand. Col. Bradley has told his friends he regards Brother Joe as his best bet, but Burgoo King is the better colt on his 2-year.old record. Last February odds of 4O0-1 swere quot cd against Brother Joe. The pricu on Col. Bradley's double entry derby day may go to 3-1 or lower.

No. 13-Golf as the Stars play It
 Many pitch shots fail because the player fails to hit the shot hard enough. Correctly executed, the shot requires more force than the pitch and run or the chip shot for the same distance.
 Harder hitting imparts more spin on the ball. This also is an aid to better direction and finer control of the ball in flight.
 A common belief, and an erron- eous one, is that height of the shot and backspln go together. Back spin does not depend on the height of tho ball, but on the speed of the descending clubhead. A low shot with plenty of backspin holds the green as well as the high pitch ed ball.
