ALASKA OIL IS
NOW LIKELY TO
BE DEVELOPED
I
- I
Many persons thought that with the1
| coming of peace there would be a do—
t itled slackening in the demand for
oil, and therefore the prospective oil!
Holds of Alaska might not he devel-'
oped. Init all signs point the other
way.
A number of companies already1
have been formed to prospect and de
velop Masks oil. and some of them
are working in the Bering river
Helds There is said to be plenty of
evidence to support the belief that
some day great oil districts in Alaska
will be opened to commerce. Regard
ing the future demand an authority j
says:
'Mill the demand for oil diminish
or increase now that peace in In sight?
Before the earning capacity suffers
it can really stand a considerable |
diminution until other oil Helds of the!
world, which have been in a measure i
impaired by the impossibility of ad
ditional drilling, hit their stride of
new production. I should say It
would be to the interest of the coun
try thiit there should be a slight dim
inution in the demand. A great many
persons, however, do not look for
this. New uses for petroleum and
its by-products have come with the
war and will continue with peace.
"Oil as a fuel is enjoying a more
general use daily. All the navies are
being equipped to burn fuel oil. The
Knglish and American consumption is
enormous. Many of the merchant
ships are being constructed to burn
fuel oil In that respect the develop
ment of further exploitation of the ;
fields in Texas, Mexico and California
is a godsend to our economic life We
need not suppose because the thou
sands of airplanes and tens of thou- i
sands of tanks and motor lorries will
no longer be engaged in warlike pur
suits that tin- use of petroleum for
fuel will cease. The armies must be
transported; their supplies must be.
transported; France must be rebuilt.;
"The gasoline transportation will 1
play a part in this work, which may
take twenty years of uninterrupted
effort it may not be known gener
ally that a number of rai(7buMa"ln’ViU'> .
Failed States already are adapting
their new locomotive equipment to
burning fuel oil. These roads run
through vast coal regions and do not
need to do so. but these roads that
can easily tap fields producing heavy
and dense oils adaptable for fuel have
estimated that it will be a great econ
omy.
"The Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
is making such a change, and Is turn
log some of its coal burners into oil
burners. The Southern Pacific has
entered the oil industry itself, and its
transactions in petroleum figure In
its most recent financial statement."
MUSICAL INSTRUCTION
GIVEN BY MRS. CROUCH
Mrs \\\ F Crouch, who has recently
coino to Cordova from Chicago, where
she took high rank among the best
piano teachers of that city, will ac
■ ept pupils who desire the very best
musical instruction. Mrs Crouch's
musical education is broad and com
prehensile. She studied tor many
years in Huston, New York and Kurope
and received the A. C M. degree from
the American College of Musicians,
a degree conferred only after tin1
most rigid examination. Site lots had
years of successful teaching experi
ence, both in college and studio and
has done a great deal of concert work.
i’upils of all grades will be ac
cepted For advanced students classes'
will be formed in harmony., interpre
tat Ion and the history of music. For
children, classes in ear training,
rhythm, sight reading, melody, writ
ing. notation, go hand in hand with
the private piano lesson. Kates of
tuition have been placed very low for
the quality of instruction given.
Special rates for children.
This is a rare opportunity for Cor
dova people to secure the best mu
sical instruction right at home at a
price less than half they would be
obliged to pay in Chicago.
