Potential Muskrat Coats
 InUade Nelson Liuing Room,

Another local resident who ex- poets to reap a rich reward from traplines this winter, is Jimmy Nelson, local agent for The Alas ka Railroad. But MT. Nelson has an easier way than running down to the Matanuska river to set snares for wolves.
 MT. Nelson hopes to run his traps in the living room of the i Nelson quarters in the heart of Palmer. He's confident of bounti- full profits, for the Nelson living room appears to have been noised around in muskrat circles as a pretty good spot for a rende- vous.
 Only recently, MT. Nelson had to lay aside his paper long enough to dispatch a healthy muskrat specimen who had joined the family circle and was displaying a lively curiosity in the contents of the latest headlines.
 The Nelson basement apparent ly was entry-way for the musk rat. Just why a water-loving rat should travel so far overland to meet sudden death in a living room is mystery to MT. Nelson. . However he feels his muskrat trapping project is a better sure fire investment than Major Hoople's morning-waker- machine for late sleepers.

Trapper Shares
 Pair of Wolves: Two More Escape

It was a case of wolf eat wolf, when trapper Vern Donaldson caught just half wolf pack in his snares along the Matanus- ka river this week.
 MT. Donaldson fills in time un- til regular fur-trapping season opens No. IS, with a predatory trapping license. Noting signs of wolves in the river region, he placed snares there recently.
 Last week he visited his trap line and found that two of four wolves in the pack running there had fallen victim to his snares. One of the trapped animals had promptly been set upon by his more fortunate fellows and a1- most entirely devoured.
 All MT. Donaldson found re- majning in the trap was the un- eaten head and a few chewed remains of the carcass. Bitterest pill for him to swallow was the fact that the forepaw, needed for Identification to claim the wolf bounty, also had disappeared down the gullet of escaping pack members.

which is to be played this coming
Friday at the Browning High
School gridiron, promises to be
the best game yet on the Brown
ing field. The Panthers are the
conference leaders, but a win by
the Indians would tie the district
three ways. The Indians and the
Panthers are very evenly match
ed. The Indians have won a and
lost l and the Panthers have a
record of 40.
The Red skins will be out to
win this game and the Panthers

Blast Rose Fable

Roses derive no special cheer or
encouragement from aspirin or quiz
nine, scientists have found. Neither
is there any advantage in plunging
roses up to their neck in water. as
most of the water is absorbed at the
base of the stems, very little going
through the leaves.
Evening star., 1947-10-12

allowed to lapse. The newest plan
worked out this year, Is now up for Army
approval.
Most of the opposition to the project
has come from harbor and shipping in
terests which fear bridge will be a
menace to navigation. However, the
War Department said the 1898 bridge
was high enough and the supports far
enough apart to give big ships room
enough to maneuver. That plan gave
l,200-foot horizontal clearance and ITS
feet vertically.
The 1947 plan provides even greater
clearances, with q maximum of 1,400
feet horizontally and 1904 feet vertically
which, the experts say, would pass
almost any ship afloat.
The western side Of the 1898 bridge
would begin one-half mile south of Sandy
Point Lighthouse. The eastern term
linus would be three miles south of the
existing buoyed entrance to Craig Hill
Channel The main channel span would
be approximately mile east of Sandy
Point, in water SIS to 60 feet deep. Engi-
neering studies indicate this part Of the
Evening star., 1947-10-12

bay is underlain by heavy sand deposits
which would entail no unusual construc-
ton procedures. The bridge would have
q per cent climb from either side to
the highest point of the roadway.
The 1o47 bridge would be located about
1000 feet north Of the 1898 site. The
western side would be Immediately north
of the present ferry terminal. The bridge
would have per cent grade.
The planned 4.O8 miles Of bridge
structure would make 1t the fourth
longest bridge In the world. It would be
surpassed by the H,O0O-foot Candy
Bridge at Port Tampa. Fla; the 23,178-
footer over the James River at Newport
News and the 22.700- foot San Francisco
Oakland Bay Bridge. It would be about
twice as long as the Potomac River
Bridge at Morgantown.
The crossing would permit Eastern
Shore farmers to send their produce
more easily to Annapolis, Baltimore and
Washington, instead Of shipping. as most
of them do now, north to Wilmington
and Philadelphia. It would mean q
tremendous surge in the resort business
