CONSERVATION
 NOTES
Lew Hanks

George Woodruff, Robert AL en and Onward Womack of the Soil Conservation Service, and Neil Nicholson of the Experiment Station recently completed a soil survey of the area adjacent to the Little Susitna river. 108,000 acres were mapped according to its capability as agricultural land. Of this area about 30,000 acres were classed as potential crop land, capability class III or better.
 This is flat, well drained, tim bered land ten to twenty inches in depth. This land lies in two strips on either side of the Little Susitna. It will make some good farm land some day. The area is at present quite inaccessible.
 The party started out by boat from Huston, July 20. They es- tablished camps and worked out from the river progressing down stream, reaching the mouth Aug ust 5, after about seventy mile trip. From there they boated across the Inlet to Anchorage.
 They saw lots of game on the trip both moose and black bear.
 They also say the fishing was out of this world. It was the kind you read about and most of us never see. Rainbows and silvers were swimming around hoping someone would throw line out. Fishing was so good ,1at after they hooked one they hoped he would kick off the hook so they could have the fun of playing an other.
 These surveys are part of the program of the Alaska Soil Con- servation District. It is the hope of the District Board that even tually all of the potentially agri-

According to JeSsen's Week ly this past week, E. B. Collins, chairman of the Territorial Po- lice Commission said in Juneau that workers in Alaska must buy territorial licenses for their auto mobiles.
 He added that they are re- garded as residents, not tourists and that the order for rigid en- forcement of vehicle licensing laws is aimed at newcomers to Alaska who take jobs but fail to license their cars.

Ace Bowling Teams
Clash Sunday 10 Aid
Crippled Children
By Rod Thomas

In 1947 Bill Stalcup captained
the Burr Heishman team to the
championship Of the District
Major League. It was the only
Heishman-sponsored team ever
to appear in the all-star league.
Now a Heishman team is
shooting its first season in the
District Minor League. It, too.
looks to be a champion. For
weeks the Heishmans have led
the league. and the stretch run
is on.
Leading the District Major
League with q sensational pace
is the Glebe Radio team--cap-
tanned by Bill Stalcup.
: Stalcup seems to refute the
opinion of many that bowling is
strictly an individual game. At
any rate, Stalcup seems able to
mold five men into a bowling
machine. The Heishmans Of 1947
were an example, the current
Globes another. And he's spanked
other winning combinations.
Sunday night Bill will be with,
and against. his old sponsor.
HeiShman, operator of several
Arlington service stations and
tire recapping plant. The
Globes and Heishmans will clash
at Clarendon in a special match
to help the Virginia Society for
Crippled Children. Heishman is
chairman of the Arlington Chap
ter.
The battle between the leaders
of the two District Leagues will
start at 1880 o'clock and it
promises to be an interesting
affair. At least, it's an all-star
contest, with all of the Globes
ranking among the top 10 in the
District Major and all of the
Heishmans exceeding 100 in av-
erage. Ed Goldberg. Clarendon
proprietor, is turning over an
entire floor to the match. There
will be no admission fee, but a
nail keg with a hole in the top
will be handy.
The Heishmans as a team are
averaging GIG, which would place
them high in the Major League.
The Globes are averaging 633.
The contestants and their ap-
proximate averages are: Globes
Bub Guethler, 1873; Tom Mock
and Pat CreScenza, 1877; Rocco
Nocero and Stalcup. 1875. Heish-
mans--Guy Andes and Dick
Tucker. 1875; Gerald Stair, 1874;
Gene Iannucci, 122 and Harry

MILWAUKEE,, Mar. 5.-Mil-
waukee is making a vigorous bid
for big-league baseball with a
SIS million stadium plus a $780,
900 offer to get rid of its minor
league franchise.
The stadium has been called
the equal of any existing park
in either major league and SUI
perior to most of the fields used
in both. Unless the unexpected
happens shortly, though, it will
house the Milwaukee Brewers
of the American Association next
summer.
The Boston Braves, owners of
the triple-A Brewers, repeatedly
have refused a 100000 offer to
take their franchise elsewhere
to make room for the st. Louis

quarters here. If the Braves

year will see only minor league
baseball in their double-deck,
