Z. J. Loussac returned to Anch
orage recently from Kanatak where
he investigated conditions with the
view of establishing a drug store
in the coming oil town. Mr. Lous
sac reports the citizens are verj
optomistic regarding the future
posibilities of the field. However
he is of the opinion that conditions
do not warrant a business venture
at this time. The two large com
panies are making progress and the
feeling pre%’ails that the result oi
the present wells will be determinec
within ninety days. As far as the
town of Kanatak is concerned Mr
Loussac states business is practicallj
at a standstill and the citizens pa
tiently waiting for development
There is no work in the field excep’
with the oil companies and Mr
Loussac advises against going tc
Kanatak for employment.

wild birds, and its owner heard it
hurrahing for Volstead several times
during the day. Late at night it
returned home with its feathers
• plucked out, an eye out and a toe
nail or two pulled out. Its owner
remarked, “well Teddy; hurrah for

a high tribute to the Honorable Dar

ABE WEISS IS IMPROVING
FULL RECOVERY EXPECTED
The many friends of Abe Weiss
former merchant of Flat will be
pleased ‘to learn that he is overcom
ing that attack of sleeping sickness
as is evidenced in a letter recently
received by Grant Murdock from J.
W. Farrell, at Seattle which says
the Kusko Times the letter follows:
“Abe Weiss is doing fine now
■ He gets up every day and stays up
until 9 o’clock at night. He sits out
doors now in the sun and I take him
all over town in the machine. He
j is still a little weak on his feet
! but I think that is on account of
j his long inaction, more than any
think else. He is still taking the
massage treatment and goes down
to the office every two or three
days. Everything points to recovery
, now. He is far from self yet, but
j he is slowly but surely coming
around.
