KANATAK WILL BE GOOD CAMP
Despite the discouraging news re
ceived from the Kanatak oil field, we
still have great faith in the future of
the camp. It must be remembered
that the present slump is not caused
through a lack of oil or abiding faith
in the camp, but because the Associat
ed Company has shut down its drill
ing operations and sent its crew to
the States, taking away much of the
revenue from the camp, and the Stan
dard company is apparently marking
time.
To the average oil boomer present
indications are bright. So many oil
leases have been taken up that the
companies find it hard to do business
except on the owners’ terms. By hold
ing up drilling these claimants will
be compelled to develop their claims
or get out. When they do this their
claims will revert to the government.
The operating companies then can
deal direct with the government at a
much less cost and with no interlock
ing titles.
Therefore we do not lose faith in
Kanatak, but it is rather increased by
recent developments. It makes it hard
on business men who have invested in
the camp, but in a year or so things
in the Cold Bay district will be boom
ing. gs

NEW SCHOOLS BEING
ERECTED BY TERRITORY
Four new school buildings, now un
der construction, will be added to the
Territory’s educational facilities dur
ing the coming Fall months, accord
ing to Commissioner of Education L.
D. Henderson. In addition to these
new buildings, the Territory will open
four schools in communities where
the establishment of district schools
is now possible, it is stated.
The towns to get new buildings are:
Hyder and Hoonah, in the First; Be
thel in the Fourth and Unga in the
Third. Hoonah and Bethel will have
one teacher and Hyder and Unga
two each.
The four co-operative schools to be
established this Fall by the Territory
I will be located at Point Aggasiz, near
Petersburg, where there are eight
children of school age; Sand Point,
near Unga, with eight children; and
Woodrow, near Seward, with ten chil
I dren. Moose Pass on the rairoad will
j also have a school.
Provision for the establishment of
| these co-operative schools was made
by the Territorial Legislature last
I spring. Under the terms of the act,
communities, which by reason of in
sufficient ^population cannot secure
the establishment of a school district
by providing quarters lor a school can
get Territorial aid sufficient to em
| ploy teachers and school supplies. All
of the communities applying have
been extended the necessary aid.
