TO THE AMAzONs.
It seems to me you're somewhat

It seems to me you're somewhat rash, To bid Valdez long adieu, For you might be quite glad, indeed, To be there ere thcsummer's thro. Nodoubt just now you're very brave Your love of rural life is strong, But don't in haste bid long farewell, Ere winter you may change your song. The bear, his Information OCT, Will soon emerge from his re- treat, And hungry,from his fast of months, Will hunt for something good to eat.'
 And tell me, pray, what will he find,
 To satisfy his hunger keen, So toothsome as an Amazon, Who thus invades the forest green And when you see him drawing near,
 Then you will wish, and wish in vain, That your farming days were o'eI And you in Valdez once again For the bears you'll meet in Teik- hell
 Are not by any means the same As the bears you met in Valdez, They're far more difficult to tame When you the soil for seed prepare With either blow or hoe or spade With aching back and blistered hands,
 You then will rue the choice you made. You'll wish you might sit in the shade
 Away from every farming tool Had kept the man to do the work And likewise kept the stubborn mule. And when the dismal autumn comes
 And bleak winds sob among the trees, You'll lose your taste for rural life And hit the trail for old Valdez

Oil at Homer.
HOMER, May 6, 1903.
ALEXANDER FRlEDOLIN.

HOMER, May 6, 1903.
 There was much excitement here during the past month over the To- cation of several miles of oil lands. The spit, point of land about one mile wide, extending from this place to the mainland, about sev- en miles distant, was all located as oil land. Only the buildings and townsite of Homer was left, and this has been located by the Cook Inlet Coal Fields company who own the coal mines here.
 NJ. k. Sweeney, an old and ex- perienced oil man, from Pennsyl- vania, with J. O. Buzzord and sev- eral other parties from the oil fields of Pennsylvania, made the first locations, and now the whole cOun- try hereabouts is being staked.
 NJ. Sweeney has spent several weeks prospecting in this vicinity, and says he never saw better indi- cations for oil than in this locality. The entire country is heavily min eralized, and he believes that this whole coast will some day be a great and rich oil country. He is so sanguine of success that he will return to Seattle immediately, and purchase the necessary machinery for commencing active operations at once.s

ships in the open sea abreast of karluk, as formerly; but in future will have them harbored in Uga- nuk or Uyak bay-probably the latter; and the steamer Unimak will act as tender between Karluk and the ships,
 The Secretary of Agriculture has received signed petitions to modify the Alaska game law from some settlements, but not all yet. He notified the Brotherhood of Alask, Pioneers of that fact, and promised to give due consideration when the regulations are prepared for carry ing out the provisions of the law.
 Mir. N. Tauhshwack wishes to remind-as the thoughtful U. s. government has established Afog- nak Fish Culture station on Alas ka's map, it were nigh time to es- tablish the same on land by build ding a fish hatchery on Afognak island, and opening the fishing in- dustry to its residents and Alas kans. Mir. Tauhshwak must not grumble, as the existing conditions are for the promotion of public well fare, even at the expense of Alas kans. Yours truthfully,

at Once.'

COAL BAY, Alaska, May 1O,'O3.
 Active operations have com menced on the oil property at this place. The Excelsior which has just arrived here brought up Capt, Austin Lathrope, who made the first locations here and who has or ganized rich company that will do extensive work here this sum- mer. The Excelsior also brought up a large amount of freight, in- cluding ten head of horses, wagons, lumber, provisions and tools. The Nome City will bring 600 tons of freight on its next trip. This ship ment will include drills, piping and and machinery for seven wells. which will be put down this season. A hotel, store, warehouse, barns and dwellings will be erected at once. Sixty men will be employed by the company which Capt. La thrope represents, and there are many other companies and individ- uals who will employ many men. It is expected that there will be between 300 and 800 people here by the middle of the summer.
 Capt. LathrOp has sold large interest in his property here to J. H. Costello, wealthy resident of Buffalo. N. Y., and there will be no lack of money to push the work at this place.
 No wells have yet been sunk but the oil bubbles up out of the ground in several places, and the indica- tions are that there will be heavy flow when the wells are down a short distance.
