DEVELOPMENT
IN OIL FIELDS
IS PROMISING
The filing of 12 applications for
oil leasing permits by B. L. Thane,
E. H. Harriman, of Washington, D.
C., W. W-. Johnson, of Oakland, Cal.,
and other equally prominent states
engineers and capitalists, is believed
to mark the entry of the Alaska Con
solidated Oil Fields into the oil fields
of the territory for active develop
ment work. The applications filed
cover locations in both the Katalla
and Yakataga fields amounting to
more than 11,000 acres.
DRILLING NEXT SPRING
It is stated that the company will
begin its drilling operations in both
fields early next spring, drills and
experienced drillers to be shipped
north as early as it is possible to
land them on the grounds. Those for
whom permits have been asked are:
Cam Campbell, of Oakland City;
Grace C. Harriman and Henry R.
Harriman, both of Washington, D. C.;
Chester Narramore, New York City;
Allen R. Armstrong and Judge Fred
erick Bausman. of Seattle; K. C.
Schuler, Denver, Colo.; L. V. Leeper,
Katalla; all in the Katalla field; W.
W. Johnson, Oakland Cal.; B. L.
^ Thane, San Francisco; H. C. Peake,
Oakland, Cal.; L. V. Leeper, Katal
la; all in the Yagataga field.
FINANCES STRONG
Henry R. Harriman, who is a mem
ber of the company and its legal ad
viser, wrhile in San Francisco last
spring, in an interview given a news
paper in that city, declared: “Yes
it is true that we have given a cash
paid up capital of $2,500,000 to the
new Alaska Consolidated Oil Fields to
develop oil pools which we are con*
fident can be found in the company’s
land.” Several members of the com
pany are millionaires. In this list is
W. W. Johnson, who is president of 1
he Union Construction Company at
Dakland, William H. Christie, H. C.
Peake, William H. Esterbrook, all
western mining capitalists. Judge
Frederick Bausman of Seattle, is pres
d~ent of the board of directors of one
if the strongest banking institutions
in that city.
GEOLOGISTS STUDY OIL FIELDS
Last June, geologists borrowed from
large oil interests in the states were
sent into both the Katalla and Ya
gataga fields by Mr. Thane and his
associates. These, it is understood
have completed their work and went
south several weeks ago. No word
has been received here regarding
their report, but at the .time Mr.
Thane visited Juneau a few weeks
ago, and it was stated by him that
the result of their preliminary sur
vey had been encouraging.

“TOURIST CROP” BIG
THING FOR CANADIANS
VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 30 (by j
Associated Press).—Twenty million1
iollars is the estimated value of the
‘tourist crop” in British Columbia j
this year, according to calculations
made by J. Reginald Da vision, pub
licity commissioner for the city. He
said calculations are figured on a very
conservative basis.
At least a third of the sum is fig- j
ired as having come to the city of !
Cancouver, so that it is doubtful if :
my industry in the city, not exclud- ;
ing lumber and ship building, puts ;
is much money into circulation in
the city as the tourist “industry,” ac
cording to Mr. Davison.

GREAT NAZIMOVA IS
BEWITCHING GYPSY
IN “TOYS OF FATE”
A fire festival is among the pic
turesque gypsy rites pictured in
“Toys of Fate,” the big super-picture
shown last night at the Empress.
The great Nazimova makes a be
witching gypsy princess, full of fire
and abandon. The picture offers un
excelled opportunity for her marvel
ous dramatic Tallent. It touches the
depths of the human soul,—is big,
thrilling, gripping—anff with her won
derful versatility she reaches the
heights and the depths. She is
equally compelling as the light heart
ed Gypsy girl, or the woman at bay,
on trial for her life.
It will be repeated for the last time
tonight.
Tomorrow, that bewitching little
comedinne, Dorothy Gish, in “Boots,”
a picture combining sensational melo
drama with light comedy,—a tale of
Boots bursting Bolshivism.

j. Big Money in Poultry
Wi at Alderwood Manor
mu
Within 45 minutes’ ride of the great city of Seattle, with the fine, big
Electric Coaches of the Seattle-Everett Interurban passing to and fro
every hour; paved boulevards and smooth country roads in all direc
tions, lies ALDERWOOD MANOR, the greatest single development
of its kind in the world.
Poultry, the basic industry of the Alderwood Manor Community, is
here being conducted under the direction of trained practical experts
along the most approved scientific lines. Success under the beautiful
Alderwood Manor plan is not just a hope or a chance, but an absolute
certainty.
The wonderful Alderwood Manor Demonstration Farm, costing upwards of
$200,000.00 and set in the midst of 18,000 acres of land ideally adapted to successful
poultry culture, was founded by the Puget Mill Company for the sole purpose of
teaching (free) those who have a longing desire to attain independence through
tilling the soil. A staff of skilled experts is constantly at the command of the “lit
tle landers” who wish to know not only about poultry, but also the cultivation of
berries, tree fruits, vegetables, home canning, etc. This priceless education is FREE
to those who seek wider knowledge, the better ways of doing things. It is the im
portant part of the remarkable Alderwood Manor plan, which is attracting the at
tention of thinking men all over the world.
Thousands of Seattle people have already bought their 5-acre farms at Alderwood Manor. More than 350
homes and poultry plants have been built, hundreds of folks are living the New Life—happy, prosperous and
independent. r , . , , ., , .
