ALASKA OIL FIELDS THE MECCA
A rush is on to the oil fields of
Western Alaska, where there are hun
dreds of square miles of country on
which oil can be found. Up until now
nothing could be done with the oil on
aecount of no one being able to ac
quire title to the property.
The oil is said to be aqual in quality
to any in the world, and no one doubts
for a minute that in the course of a
very few years the Alaska oil fields
will be among the greatest in the coun
try.
With visions of quick fortunes made
in other parts of the worl din oil, the
stampeders will go to the Alaska fields
this year, but it is doubtful if any real
development work will be accom
plished this season.
When the welels begin coming in
another source of wealth of the terri
tory wall be proven and manay more
people will be added to the permanent
population, and the wisdom of open
ing up the oil fields for lease will he
evident.—Douglas News.
ENUMERATOR TURNS RESCUER
1m the central part of New York
state, near Oswego, a few days ago,
*K enumerator making his rounds on
enowshoes arrived at an isolated farm
dwelling, only to find that an able
bodied man was needed more than a
census gatherer, as the man of the
family had been sick in bed for sev
eral days and the farm animals were
suffering for lack of food and water.
The census man, like any good neigh
bor would, stopped long enough to do
the chores, dig out paths through the
deep snow and put things in shipshape
order before continuinig his journey.
SAY ADRIATIC
QUESTION IS
LONDON, Feb. 27 (by Associated
Press).—Premiers Lloyd George and
Millerand, in their latest note to Presi
dent Wilson concerning the Adriatic
question, state that the allies never
intended making a definite settlement
©f that question with obtaining the
views of the American government.
The absence of an American repre
sentative from their councils, says the
note, has proved an almost insurmount
able obstacle to the success of the
negotiations.
