OIL CLAIMANTS
STILL FILING
FOR PERMITS
[ _
Three applications for oil leasing
permits have been filed covering oil
claims located in the Cape Spencer
district. These are the first claims to
■•be located in that region.
Those filing are Charles F. Hard
ing, Frances W. Horten, and Lam
^ bert Muller-Tliym. All three locators
are stationed aboard the U. S. S. des
troyer Hinshaw, two of them being
ergineers. All of them are confident
that they have struck a favorable lo
cation and that oil exists in the dis
trict. The claims are located on the
north side of Icy straits and east of
Cape Spencer. Each claim contains
2,560 acres.
While little is known regarding
the formations in the Cape Spencer
j^listrict, it is believed that oil seep
ages exist there. In fact, Indians and
others who have visited the shore line
around Cape Spencer report encount
ering a number of seepages. Little
or no prospecting, as far as is known
has been done in this district.
From the central field of the Cold
Bay district three additional appli
cations for permits covering oil claims
have been filed on by prospectors.
The claims located contain a total of
6,720 acres of oil and. Kar A. Drap
er of Kodiak is the origina locator and
seeks a permit covering 1,600 acres.
A second application was received
from Louis E. Green, of San Fran
cisco, for a permit covering 2,560
acres, while the third application cov
ering 2,560 acres was made by J. M.
Blimm of Kodiak.
BOYS SPEND VACATION
GATHERING WASTE PAPER
POCATELLO, Iaho., Aug. 6 (by As
sociated Press).—Waste paper and
cast off materials of various kinds
have provided about 25 youngsters of
Downey, a town near hear, with a va
cation such as many “grown-ups”
%■- might envy. The boys, by collecting
the waste materials and selling them
raised a fund of about $500. With this
they are defraying their expenses of
an automobile tour through the Yel
lowstone Park.

WILL NOT TAKE
ALL OF WORL
CHILD FEEDING
<
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The American friends
service committee of Philadelphia
does not intend to take over all of
the child feeding operations i^ central
Europe, now conducted by Herbert
Hoover through the American relief
administration, according to an an
nouncement made at the offices here.
“The economic situation in those
countries is far too serious for one
organization to do the work alone,”
officials say. “We are doing our ut
most to alleviate the suffering of the
poor.”
The latest cable from the Berlin
office states that 632,000 children are
now being fed daily in 88 cities in
Germany. “This probably will be de
creased during the harvest period
when fresh vegetables and fruit will
be more plentiful,” the message says.
Beginning with September the num
ber the number of children med will
ber of children fed by Americans will
increase again to at least 500,000 and
will continue without a break unil the
summer of 1921. This will be in
creased to 1,000.000 if funds from
America can be secured to make this
possible. The German government
has just agreed to give us all the flour
and sugar needed in the feeding.”

RED CROSS WILL
SEND CHILDREN
FORMER HOMES
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6 (by As
sociated Press).—Seven hundred and
twenty-five Russian children left here
yesterday on the steamship Yomei
Maru for Petrograd, via New York. |
The American Red Cross of Siberia,
directed by Dr. R. B. Teusler of Tokio,
has charge of the children. They
were originally taken from Petrograd
to Siberia when the war broke out.
The Yomei Maru was chartered by
the Red Cross to transport the chil
ren to Petrograd, the voyage being
through the Panama canal. The en
tire cost to the Red Cross for the voy
age and the outlay in caring for the
children will amount to nearly $1,000,
000.
The boys and girls are some of the
6,000 children who were sent out of
Petrograd in the troublesome times of
1918 and were found scattered in cities
of Siberia. Most of the others have
disappeared—one of the silent tra
gedies of Russia.
When the Red Cross started to dis-;
continue its work in Siberia, it was
decided to return the children to Pet- j
rograd in the hope that they might
find their former homes.

TRADE INCREASES FROM
GERMANY TO JAPAN
!
OSAKA, Japan, Aug. 6 (by Associ
ated Press).—Trade with Germany at
Osaka, which was stopped during the
war, with the exception of a few im
ports of aniline dye through neutral
countries, is gradually reviving. The
export trade is still paralyzed, but the
imports are steadily picking up.
A black and white dog suffering
from porcupineitis, has been seen on
the streets lately. It’s head is stuck
full of spines as to make eating all
but impossible, and life is an un
speakable misery. Some of the local
bry scouts have been trying to find
the dog. Surely they, or anyone else
could d(5~ho better “good turn” than
to help this first, last and best friend
of man out of his pain, either by ex
tracting a few quills or by giving him
the “qfcqp de grace” in the shape of a
bullei between the eyes.
RENEW EFFORT I
FOR RELEASE
JAMES LARKIN
DUBLIN, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—There is a renewed agitation
in Ireland for the release from prison
of James Larkin, now serving a sen
tence in America. Some of the new
town councils have taken up the mat
ter, and are busy passing resolutions
about it.
At Mullinger the town council de
manded Larkin’s release, and Mr.
Brett, a member of the county council,
said that, as Larkin was an Irish citi
zen, and communication with refer
ence to him from the American govern
ment should be made through the
Irish Republican government and he
thought the matter should be placed
in the hands of the minister of foreign
affairs of the Irish Republican govern
ment. Other Irish councils are acting
similarly.
