(Continued from Page One)
years have known nothing save placer
and quartz gold have now turned
their attention to oil, with the result
that a more intelligent discussion of
the oil situation may be heard in any
one of the assembling places than
could be listened in in a college or
a university.
Sid Anderson, formerly of Seward
and Anchorage and Elmer Evans who
hav*3 places of business adjoining one
another, are hourly disputants as to
the price of oil when it has beer,
struck. Sid says, and the American
Magazine is not ahead of the Gate
way on carrying articles on what
“Sid Says,” is firmly of the be'ief tha*
oil should never be more than ten do'
lars per barrel; while Evans, in his
old days in the grocery business, says
six bits would be high enough. Then
Tony, who runs a cigar store, always
feels that his neighbor, Chris Chris
tensen, has the wrong dope on the
dog question, in so far as dogs are ne
cessary where there is no snow, and
the result is that every old dog-mush
er in camp is called in to settle the
dispute. Carl Larsen, an old time
Cache Creek miner, is now operating
a laundry, and he feels that if Job
was a patient old biblical character,
then he never ran a laundry. Carl
operates his laundry with a gas en
gine, and he says that when the cloth
ing brought in is soiled with any sub
stance other than oil the engines re
fuses to function, and as oil is the
only thing in Kanatak that is not soil
ed, the engine is out of commission
several hours each day.
The Sheehan boys, sons of Thomas
Sheehan, of Anchorage, who for years
has had charge of the freight yards
for the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission, are in business in the camp,
and are neighbors of Jack Taylor, who
with Heinie Thompson, conducts a
restaurant. Charles Odermat, one of
the first to come to Kanatak, now
maintains the only bakery in camp,
and recently has been forced to put
on additional help to take care of the
business. Charles Madsen, formerly
of Kodiak and Nome, is in the grocery
business, and has for a competitor
Bill Rustchow, who for ten years con
ducted a trading post at Cold Bay, and
is known up and down the peninsula
as the traders’ and trappers’ friend.
Two old interior “snow dogs” have re
cently erected a first class pool room
and affords the players of the camp a
a most delightful and pleasurable past
time. Several camp pool tournaments
have already taken place in the Slim
Michaelson and Ed Lawson pool room.
It is a building 30 by 45 feet, furnish
ed in a manner that would reflect
credit to a place in a city of three
thousand persons. Tom Dodd, the ven
erable sage of the camp, and the man
to whom all international disputes are
finally submitted, owns one of the best
recreation halls in the camp, and it
is filled with old timers at most any
time of the day or evening. Carl Arm
strong, who formerly was deputy
U. S. Marshal at Kodiak and retained
that position through the political
storms of fourteen years, is the camp’s
“transporter.” When he is not engag
ed in transhipping freight he is boost
ing oil game and herding visitors out
to the seepage in true old Montana
fashion. Fred Hinton formerly of
Nome is asosciated with Mr. Arm
strong and together make a pair that
is invincible. Carl is fat and thrives
on the storm waves, and Hinton is
skinny and slender and fattens on
the calm weather, so that when work
ing together the freight always comes
ashore in good style.
In fact, to enumerate the various
types of business and to mention the
names of the owners, would be like
calling the roll of the Old Timers.
Men from every part of Alaska are
already gatherel upon the shores of
Portage Bay and they are filled with
great faith and enthusiasm and are
confident that only a question of
months now must intervene before
Mother Nature is forced to unloose
her oil riches and make Kanatak the
foremost and the newest oil camp in
the United States. When this occurs,
Alaska will come into the position des
tined for her in the ages of long ago
when oil and gas were in the making.
Officials Be Appointed
Mr. Coffee who is returning to Kan
atak on the regular sailing of the
Star seems satisfied with his venture
into the new camp and says that now
that he has waited a year for develop
ments he would think of leaving un
der no conditions. Before October, ac
cording to Coffey, Judge Ritchie will
appoint a United States Commission
er for the camp and Marshal Sullivan
will send over a deputy. The camp has
been free of any criminal activity dur
ing the past year and never up to date
has there been any cause or reason
for the establishment of the policing
agencies of Government. Doors are
never locked and the general conduct
of the camp is entirely free of the
vicious elements that find feeding
grounds in other parts of the country.
Everyone knows every person and
there is a spirit of fair dealing and
confidence in the other fellows’ sense
of squareness that makes for peace of
quiet. However, Judge Ritchie says
that he has his eye on the camp and
that as soon as oil is struck he will
not wait for the great influx of ad
venturous souls, but will establish a
district and be ready to cope with the
changed conditions that must surely
result from the growth of the camp
from three hundred people, including
those in the vicinity of Kanatak, to
five or ten thousand people. When oil
is struck the camp will be ready to
receive the thousands that will pour
into the country and all the machinery
to maintain order, organize a town,
and -watch after the health and the
well being of the town and the people
will be ready to function.
