Cordova, Alaska
r • *
A
tributary to Katalla is indeed a rev
elation. So little publicity has been
given to the important development
work being done that one is amazed
by a visit to the St. Elias Company’s
properties.
Besides the several wells which are
being pumped daily, the product of
which is being refined on the grounds,
big standard drilling outfits are driv
ing other wells as fast as possible.
One well is progressing at the
rate of more than forty feet per day
and at the time of writing there is
such a volume of natural gas escaping
that all fires have been extinguished
in the near vicinity for fear of explo
sion. This well is only about two hun
dred yards from where the English
company struck a gusher some years
ago and indications are that the pres
ent well may be a big producer and
possibly a gusher. The men who are
drilling the well are experienced men
from outside fields and they are con
fident that they will strike a gusher.
Should a few more producers be
tapped there is very little doubt but
that the company will install a pipe
line to Cordova, where their product
i.-ay be available at all times for com
mercial purposes. At the present
time their output can all be disposed
of in the Prince William sound dls
trict, but the cost of transportation b>
the crude methods which are now util
lzed for the distribution of the outpul
would be greatly improved J>y a pipe
line to Cor&ova, which could be in
stalled at a very nominal initial cosi
and would eliminate practically all the
i future expense.
The installation of such a systen
would also mean natural gas for loca
consumption at Cordova. The natura
gas is being utilized In the operatloi
of the company’s plants at the pree
ent time. In numerous places on th<
properties gas Is escaping througl
natural vents, but the workini
pipes have been installed in the crev
ices and lights attached that the em
ployos may be better enabled to per
form their duties on dark nights.
Those who have never lived in a
country where natural gas is available
for household consumption can
scarcely comprehend what the conven.
ience and cheapness of this product
means.

THE LITTLE RED FLAG
WITH ITS ONE BLUE STAR
(From War Poems, by Will M. Cressy)
A million flags are flying all o’er this
mighty land; ,
The Stars and Stripes of freedom are
seen on every hand.
But there’s another emblem, with its
meaning deep and true—
Those Service Flags of crimson, with
their stars of heaven’s own blue.
Each star means a hero; a boy of
yours or mine—
Fighting, suffering, dying somewhere
along the line.
And the flags that mean the most,
no matter where they are,
Are those little flags of crimson, with
a single bright blue star.
I saw a little farmhouse out on a
Western plain,
Surrounded there on every side bj
fields of waving grain,
And shining in its window, like a bea
con light afar,
Hung this little flag of crimson with
its one blue star.
I saw a city tenement, dirty, bleat
and drear,
Drenched and drowned with gases
from the factories near;
But from an upper window, like £
golden gate ajar,
Flew this same deir flag of crimsoi
with its one blue star.
I saw a city mansion, a home o
wealth and ease,
Surrounded by green hedges, flowe
beds and trees;
But just beside the portal, hangim
from a golden bar,
Hung this flag of crimson, with iti
one blue' star.
I
: So when the bands are crashing, am
[ the flags are waving high,
i And you’re laughing, waving, cheei
ing, as the troops are marching by
> Don’t forget the dads’—and mothers—
i and these homes, where’er the;
5 are,
- Where these Service Flags are flyinj
with their one blue star.

COOLIE UIHEHS HME
MOST (CUTE HUB
LONDON, June 20.—Officers home
from the front testify to the acute
hearing powers displayed by the In
dian and Chinese coolie laborers with
. the troops in France. These Eastern
auxiliaries are ever the first to detect
t\ie nearness of a hostile airplane
and to fall prone as a measure of
self-protection. In this way they give
a valuable load to the British and
French soldiers, who are compare.
’ tively slow in detecting the difference
in sound between the rival air ma
