STANDARD KEEPS AT WORK
The Standard Oil Company is per
sisting: in its exploration of the Cold
Bay oil fields of Alaska while the oth
er company which engaged in the
same enterprise, temporarily at least,
has suspended operations. The Alas-'
ka Weekly is given to understand
that this does not, in the slightest
degree, imply any lack ot' confidence
in the ultimate development of the
field.
The Standard Company, however, is
going straight ahead, evidently intent ;
on a final and complete demonstra-:
tion of the oil possibilities of this par
ticular district of Alaska. As is well
known, there is no company in the'
world so well equipped financially and
in experience to make such a demon
stration. The Standard’s policy is to
carry its every undertaking through
to a definite conclusion. This may
not have always been its policy—no
one can say for sure. There was a
time when this great organization
permitted itself to be misunderstood
by the general public; a time when
its workings were easily subject to
misinterpretation by the courts as in
stanced in the almost forgotten, but
once famous $29,000,000 fine imposed
upon it by Judge Kenesaw M. Landis,
now the supreme baseball umpire of
the country.
Standard Oil has itself worked a
great change in public opinion. The
extension of its direct services has
brought it everywhere into closer con
tact with the people. Still recognized
as an immense organization, it has
proved that size is not incompatible
with efficiency. It is doing an impor
tant work in Alaska just now and it
will doubtless continue at that work
to the great advantage of Alaska.—
The Alaska Weekly.
In a recen trip down Kenai Lake
the Hungarian ambassador to the
United States, and his companion, a
famous international sportsman, de
clared the scenery far superior to that
of Switzerland, and added that if the
lake were in Switzerland it would be
dotted with hotels and summer re
sorts. Which goes to prove that a
prophet is without honor in his own
country; or rather that Alaskans are'
so used to magnificent scenery that it
causes little interest among them.
FORESTRY SERVICE DOING
FINE WORK AT LOWER KENAI
The Forestry Service has done con
siderable work around lower Kenai
and Skilak lakes, the roads and trails
being in excellent shape, and a great j
convenience to residents and travel
ers. A trail has been constructed
from Snug Harbor on th% lower end
of the lake, to Cooper’s Landing, on
Kenai river, where it intersects with
a fine road leading to lower Skilak
lake, or to the edge of the Forestry
reserve, at which point it is hoped
the Road commission will start in on
a road to Kenai.
This road is one of the most impor
tant in the division, as it will allow
Cook Inlet residents to reach the rail
road thru the winter months, at a
time when the inlet is frozen over.
It is stated there are about 500 per
sons served by this road.
ATTENTION, MOOSE
All members of the Loyal Order of
Moose are requested to be present to
receive our deputy supreme dictator,
who is coming on the Alameda. All
watch for the boat themselves.
