IS TAKING PUCE

PRACTICE OF USING PLAYERS
FROM OTHER TEAMS WILL
BE ABOLISHED.
Nile Park Giants held a meeting
yesterday and decided to abolish the
practicing of borrowing players from
other teams to fill vacancies in their
nine made men absent on account
of injuries or those indisposed to
play, or whatever else may happen
to be on their chest for the night
of play.
Prof. Barnett, acting captin of the
Bankers was notified the team they
y-ere to play last night, that thej
would play the Bankers with the ex
act number of their own men that
could find it possible to appear at
the gym by game time: An arrange
ment to which Barnett and the Ban
kers were agreeable, tho’ they con
sidered it unjust to the number of
men whom they would have to lay
off in order to get down to the num
ber represented by the Nile Park.
The majority of players of the four
tarns who were present, having known
for several weeks that just such a
condition was bound to arise sooner
or later, urged that something be
done within the league that would
eliminate the unpopular practice of
borrowing.
It being plainly seen at this stage
that four nine men teams cannot be
gathered in the city, suggestions
were made whereby the available
players, some 27 to 30 would be
divided into four units and the num
ber of players constituting a team
be therefore fixed at about seven.
This method, however, might not be
as favorable, as it would necessitate
the entire disorganizing of the league
and four new teams being built up.
A second and more practiced idea
offered, was to reduce the league to
three teams instead of four, giving
each unit the full quota of nine men
each. The reduction could be made
without affecting the present stand
ings of the teams in the league, by
assigning the eight members of the
Bankers team to the Merchants and
Nile Paries, which oranizations are in
dire need of players and have been
constantly forced to borrow.
A board of arbitrators consist
ing of Irvin R. Dyer, Prof. Barnett,
Burr Snyder and W. R. Shellhorn,
will meet tonight and effect the am
algamation or reorganization.

BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROAD WORK
RAPIDLY NEARING CLOSE;
END OF MONTH.
All grading on the Moose Pass
road project will come to a close to
day, according to C. W. Keil, resi
dent engineer for the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads, who was a brief business
visitor in Seward over the weke end.
One gang of five men is working on
the Pass Creek bridge and, all work
will undoubtedly co^pae to a conclu
sion the latter part of this month.
Two bridges are yet to be complet
ed, one at Frenchy Creek, a 170 foot
span, and the trestle over Donaldson
Creek, about 140 feet. Mr. Keil stat
ed the bridges would probably be
opened up for traffic in the spring.
There are actually but fourteen
men now engaged on the project and
nine of these will be discharged to
morrow Wednesday, and come into
Seward, the remainder staying on the
job. Practically all snow had van
ished from the ground, prior to his
arrival in town last Saturday but it
vras believed the local snow fall ex
tended to the Moose Pass district.
At the time of Mr. Keil’s departure
the road in one section was bare for
a distance of five or six miles. Trucks
and cars were able to run over the
road for about fourten miles. Excep
tional good weather has assisted the
work materially, Mr. Keil added.
With reference to next summer’s
work it is quite probable another
project will be opened up, either the
sunrise to Hope road of nine miles,
or from Mile 29 to the Moose Pass
road, a like distance of nine miles.
Regular maintenance will keep a
good number of men employed.
Mr. Keil returned to Moose Pass
yesterday morning.
The Admiral Watson, Pacific Steam
ship Company, departs from Seattle
tomorrow for Seward and westward j
points.

WHITWORTH BACK
IN FEW MONTHS
FROM LONDON
PLANS INVESTIGATING LOCAL
ORE DYKE—FAIRBANKS IS
PROGRESSING NICELY
Having completed a month’s in
spection of his property holdings in
the Interior district during which
time all of his plans were complet
ed satisfactory, G. Dionel Whitworth,
managing director of the Tanana Val
ley Gold Dredging Company, return
ed to Seward last Saturday departing
on the steamer Alaska for Seattle
en route to his home at headquar
ters, in England. Mr. Whitworth
stated to the Gateway that he ex
pected to return to Alaska again in
either April or May.
The Fish creek dredge construction
is proceeding satisfactorily and its
completion is looked forward to ear
ly in the spring. L. J. Brittain, who
passed thru Seward with Mr. Whit
worth, a month ago, on their way to
Fairbanks, has succeeded G. Lemons,
recently resigned, as superintendent,
being vested with full authority dur
ing the absence of Mr. Whitworth.
Upon his return from London he said
said it was quite IikeTy Mr. Studdert,
who was formerly associated with the
company in its pioneer work in the
Fairbanks district, would return with
him.
With regard to the local proposi
tion at Mile 43y2, the matter is still
under consideration and will probably
be taken up and investigated within
the next few months. The work in
the Interior has occupied all of Mr.
Whitworth’s attention at this time
but it is fully expected a thorough
examination will be made of the
big ore dyke in the vrey near future.
Coffee increased in wholesale price
about 45 per cent during the past year
adding $82,000,000 to the nation’s bill.
Government protection of seals in
Alaska has increased the herd from
132,000 to 726,000 according to recent
estimates.
