YAKATAGAWORK
OIL DRILL CREW HALTS WORK—
APP GOES SOUTH TO EX
PLAIN SITUATION
Regarding the recent closing down
of oil drilling activities at Yakataga,
published in the Gateway two weeks
ago, additional information was re
ceived in the last mail from Juneau.
The Juneau Empire of recent issue,
carried the following news article:
Owing to damage done by recent
floods to its roads and trails, mak
ing it impossible to transport sup
plies to the drilling ground, the
General Petroleum drilling crew has
suspended work in the Yakataga
beach district. M. S. App, superin
tendent of operations, passed thru
Juneau on the last Admiral Watson,
enroute to the States, and several
members of the crew arrived here
on the same steamer.
All streams in the district, it was
reported, went on a rampage fol
lowing heavy rains. Bridges were
swept away and portions of the trail
wiped out. Conditions were such
that freighting of supplies before
the freeze-up was impossible.
r
It is said that freighting can be
done when winter weather sets in,
using sleds over the snow and froz
en stream beds. This, however,
was not contemplated in the com
pany’s original program. For this
reason Mr. App is making a trip to
headquarters to explain personally
the situation. It was said to be pos
sible he would return north in a
short time to make preparations for
winter hauling.
The company during the past sum
mer is reported to have landed 750
tons of machinery and supplies on the
beach. These have been covered for
protection from the weather. Two
watchmen were left on the ground
to look after company property dur
ing suspension of w*ork.
Cableship Dellwood
In Port Overnight
The Army transport and cableship
Dellwood, Captain R. W. Shears in
command, arrived in port last night
at 6:15 from Seattle, in connection
with the local cable interrupts i be
tween this station and Valdez. This
was the cableship’s third trip to this
port this year.
Another thing that worries a lot
of mothers is that they are not young
enough to do the things their daugh
ters do.

PROOF
OF A BETTER OIL
The function of a lubricant is to
reduce fridtion and thus increase
the effective power of the engine.
The best proof that Zerolene does
this to a superlative degree is found
in the fadt that the Zerolenedubri>
cated automobile or motorboat has
more driving power; it averages 5%
more gasoline mileage than when
other oils are used.
One good test of the purity and
stability of a motor oil is the amount
of carbon it forms. Zerolene forms
less carbon than any other motor oil
\nown to us. That is why the Zero*
lenedubricated automobile or mo*
towboat may be driven from 25%
to 50 % farther without having the
valves ground or the cylinders re*
bored.
Truly, you can buy no better oil
than Zerolene. Ask for it by name
—Zerolene.

Juneau Dairy. Edward Keegan, driv

Gateway Staff Gets
Away to Late Start
The Gateway staff almost had an
other holiday today when shortly af
ter rolling out of the hay this morn
ing, it was reported, that during the
night a squirrel had chewed through
a telephone pole, causing the upright
to crash at daybreak, thereby creat
ing a few hours delay to liie light
ing system. So instead of starting
on the sheet at “5 o’clock, a. m.,”
the high-priced linotype experts “hit
the ball” at 9:15.

Miss Dorothy Elaine Haley became

Austin, the connubial knot being
tied at the home of the bride’s moth
er, Mrs. Edna M. Haley, on Seventh
street by Rev. O. A. Stillman pastor

licity agent for the Alaska Railroad

Times and als'o of the Juneau Empire

It wouldn’t be easy enough for
some men to forget they had ^con
science if their wives weren’t ever
lastingly reminding them of it.
It is more apt to be a happy mar
riage if they have something to en
ter at a baby show than it is if
they are confined to the dog show.
