Nome Link With
Highway System
Now In Progress

FAIRBANKS-The first stage
of trunk line road which will
eventually connect Nome with the
rest of the Alaska highway sys-
tenn is presently under construc-
ton, according to Irving Mckay
Reed, territorial highway engi-
neer.
He said that the work now in
progress will probably carry the
road as far south as Manila Greek,
10 miles fom the old tramWay
crossing of the river which is Fl
miles from Nome.
According to Reed, the route
will be pushed on over Nugget
Divide into the Kougarok water
shed and by the end of 1856 the
road is expected to reach the
Kougarok road. This will tie a
large and important mining area
directly with Nome for the first
time, Reed said. The Kougarok
road now runs for 30 miles from
Bunker Hill to Taylor.
The remainder of the road to
Council will be built by the Road
Commission and the federal gov
eminent, he said. Where it will

decided, as both Fairbanks and
Anchorage want the trunk line
highway from Nome to head in
their direction.
Reed hopes that after the Kou-
garok road is tied with Nome,
that roads will be built between
Nome and Teller, and Teller and
the Lost River mining area.

ABS to Start
Public Poll on
Statehood Issue
fBy the Associated Press

The Alaska Broadcasting Sys-
tenn announced today it is starting
a public poll in the territory on
the issues of statehood now" or
commonwealth status for Alaska.
President William J. Wagner,
in announcing the test of public
sentiment, said Alaskans were
being asked to express their pref
erence on one of four stands:
statehood now, eventual state
hood, continuance of territorial
status or change to common
wealth type of government.
Wagner said persons participant
ing in the "straW vote" will be
required to sign their names, al
though they will not be divulged.
The purpose, he explained, is to
allow the judges to check for du-
plications and guard against any
examining of the ballot boxes.
Wagner said the ABS believes
sit would be in the public interest
to ascertain how Alaskans feel on
the subject
There has been no poll on state
hood in the territory since 1916.
At that time the vote was $3.50
for and 6,882 against. However,
some critics of the outcome con-
tended that the ballot proposition
did not specifically say "immedi-
ate statehood" The common
wealth counter-proposal has come
to the fore only recently.

l,5OO Perish in
Howling Typhoon
In North Japan

TOKYO, R-An estimated 1,5O0
persons persisted in a bowling
typhoon which struck northern
Japan last night, including nearly
1000 who died when a huge sea-
going ferry capsized.
The bodies of II Americans
have been recovered so far and
perhaps SO more are missing, Off
Gals announced.
Authorities said $50 bodies have
been found and a national policy
spokesman estimated that 500
bodies will be recovered from the
capsized ferry.
The great storm, generating
winds up to- ITO miles an hour, ap-
parently had whirled harmlessly
into the Japan Sea when suddenly
it curled back and struck the
northern island of Hokkaido al
most without warning.
The result was Japan's greatest
maritime disaster.
Giant waves in Tsugaru Straits
sank five big ferries, four of
which carried no passengers, and
hundreds of small craft.
A fire virtually wiped out Twa-
mai, city of $4,000 on Hokkaido's
west coast, and police reported
disastrous landslides and floods
throughout Hokkaido.
Communications and power lines
were wrecked. Rail lines and
highways were blocked.
The most terrible disaster oc-
Cured in Hakodate Harbor, where
the big ocean ferry Toya Maru,
carrying 1882 passengers and
crewmen, smashed into rocks and
turned turtle.
Forty-three railroad cars were
hurled about inside the hull.

en- vessel as ga hell on earth" =
Eyewitnesses said the sickle
shaped harbor and its mile-long
coast resembled a great naval dis
aster scene of the Pacific war.
Wrecks of five ships and literally
hundreds of small craft Uttered
the beach.
The sand was dotted with bod
les, many wearing life jackets
which had failed to save their
lives in the raging surf.

Weather Strip In
A New Version

A type Of weather stripping for
steel and aluminium easement win
dows that has been tested for the
last three years in Alaska and
other areas of extreme weather
conditions is now available in Chi
cago. It's unique feature is that it
snaps in place to seal out drafts
and dirt that often infiltrate
around the openings of imperfect
ly fitting easement windows.
Corner pieces hold the strip
securely in place. The strips are
made by Sun Screen Products cor
poration, Spokane, Wash, in
combination of chromium, magnes-
ium, and aluminium for better
resistance to corrosion and other
effects of the weather.
Weather stripping for easement
windows usually requires mastic
or drive screws to hold it in place.
The Sun Screen stripping, snap
ping in place, is of thin gauge
metal that does not interfere with
opening and closing the window or
the placement of screens and
storm sash.
Day Fabricating Co., Inc, To-
Gated at 12205 st. Clair ave-, are
local distributors for this product
and Mr.. R. A. Moeller, sales man
ager, reports that it has gained
wide acceptance, particularly by
apartment houses, motels and Of
flee buildings.
