New Road Nome To Solomon Would Open Up Vast Area Cold
 Bearing Ground And Facilitate Economical Transportation

bur Arnold & Gerald Royce Co.,, and Albert Matson, all hydraulic and power operators on Solo, mon. In the quartz mining and prospecting activities are R. w. Silver and Louis Lane Co.. both on Solomon. In the Council re- zion, those interested are: Glass Dredging Co. North Star Dredg ing, Fred Dent (dredging), Hugh Pearson (dredging), Tom Shaw and Hans Larson (dredging), and Chester Milligan. It is notable that the freight rate via Niukluk River from Golovin to Council at present for every type of com modity, fuel and supplies is $50 per ton. This amount could be re- duced to less than half by freight ing from either Solomon or Nome. 1t can readily be supposed therefore. that a new road is not only feasible, but one of the most necessary on Seward Penin sula, not entirely to facilitate developments on Solomon, but in all the country intervening be- tween Council and Nome that has hitherto been completely neg lected.
 Our plans for encouraging con- struction are very simple, yet would be effective and valuable. Our field engineer, MT. Wallace Rogers, a graduate of the Uni versity of Melbourne. and exper- fenced in many years of railroad and highway construction in many parts of the world, is to run preliminary survey of the entire route, under our direction and pay. We propose to start about the middle of May, or st the time when the snow has disappeared generally and before the deep drifts are gone. That way it is possible to run the road course so as to avoid unnecessary snow handicaps and road clearing each year. We will mark the first sur vey with Tagged stakes which will be clearly visible at a later date in the summer when we shall again run -a~survey, relative to ground conditions as to road foundation and for construction material locations, of which there is more than sufficient require ments. We have personal know ledge of the existance of these material deposits and requires only a survey to establish their definite respective locations. From each deposit we will take a sample and indicate it's location on the survey plat with approxi- mate body of material.
 Accompanying this report is general map of Seward Penin- sula on which is imposed a gen eral outline of our proposed road, beginning at mile six of the pres ent road and running thence inland along the foothills to Solomon River, twenty-five miles additionally.
 It is our expectation and hope that the officers and members of the Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce take active measures. in consideration of this report and offer, to adopt a reso- lution to be presented at this session of the Territorial Legis- lature, that actual progress can be started, as soon as our survey

Grand Alley Mercantile Bowling Notes

The great Jimmy Tribune has rur his winning streak up to sever straight. He picked the Grand Five to beat Kiesels two games and that is just what the Grand Boys did Leave 1t to Jimmy to pick bowling Ivory.
 The Canal Boys showed up with what Is potentially the strongest team in the league but the Monarch boys led by the inimitable Chaser Klein managed to trip them in one of the games. Garter Gaglione, Holy Cross Geaney, Butsy Butler and Justa Gala Me Prez Rinald slammed the pins for one game ane then began to talk football and the result was a two-game licking. Jim. my Tribune rates the Insurance boys as 6 $50 team bowling but can talk the other teams out of 50 more SC that they are always a threat.
 The Canal boys with Jumping Joe Maps, Cracky Greece, Happy Tom Coppolo, Hoochy Koocly Cuicci and Pop Manzo gave the boys 6 little dose of Ernie schiavone's pasta fa- zoola.
 The Kiesel boys after winning nine straight games bowed to the Gran- doleers who shape up as a team oi destiny and led by Rocco Daddona who Is hitting the pins in Blue Rib. bon form. Tony Guerrero, his Big Brother Fibre and Puilem Cofran- cesco round out the quintet with the help of Johnny Manzo.
 Happy Herman, Gus Kiesel, Ernie Schnitzel the boy wonder, Gus Riehl and Big Boy Hettinger are not dis- couraged by the loss and expect tc come back strong this week. That great gang of bowlers, the Elton Five, again went down to defeat but gave the Town Tavern Boys a great run for their money. Little Johnny Lucewicz the up and coming bowler gave the more experienced Goose Rovero great battle.

STARS WHO WON FOR '35 TIGERS
 ARE ECL|PSED
Only Six Of Great Team Now On Roster And
 More To GO
BY PAUL sCHETFELs United Press staff Correspondent

S@s~@SAap
 New York, Nov. 15-(UP)-Only a half dozen of the players that brought Detroit a world champion- ship in 1885 presently grace the roster of the Tigers and when the lo40 lineup is called, probably one half of that amount will be present.
 Pitchers Schoolboy Rowe and Tommy Bridges, Tnfielders Hank Greenberg, Charley Gehringer and Billy Rogell, and Outfielder Pete Fox are the only members left of the squad that beat the Chicago Cubs that year.
 Rowe's status is definitely on the doubtful side. He attempted e comeback last year after a season under the hot sun with Beaumont of the Texas League, where he was a star. But his attempt last season to get back in the big time met with only mediocre success.
 Greenberg Puzzle
 The slim, left-handed Bridges will be back with the Tigers in l94O. Troubled on and off by sore el- bow in 1888, Tommy underwent an operation during the off-season and recovered So completely that he compiled @ 1T won, 2 lost record, which was easily the best on the squad. His most notable achieve ment last season was a so shutout over the New York Yankees, the first the champions suffered all sea- son.
 All sorts of rumors have been connected with Greenberg, most of them of the trade variety. After almost cracking Babe Ruth's all- time home run mark fin '38, qreen- berg fell off badly last summer and at one time went into such e slump that reports went the rounds that his eyesight was failing. Anyhow, he was benched in favor of Rudy York, whose main forte is first base. He has been. at times, 6 catcher and an outfielder. York made such a favorable impression on manager Del Baker that he feels the loss of Greenberg might not hurt the Ti- gers immeasurably.
 Pitching Prospects
 Gehrineer, peer of Detroit's sec- ond basemen, completed his i6th year with the club last summer and will probably be around for No. 1T, come next April.
 Rogell, long a performer in the Detroit infield has been crowded out of the picture by q heavy-hit- ting kid named Mccoy. This young ster while appearing fin only 65 games knocked out b8 hits for a good average of .302, e mark Rogell has equalled only once in his i2- year major league career. In 1881, he hit 1903 for 48 games, but hasn't climbed over the 300 mark since.
 Fox. who has been e fleet, reli- able outer-gardener for the Tigers since 1883, should be around in l040. He has almost consistently hit 300 each season and boasts c major league average slightly over that mark for his big league tenure.
