TO ALLOW TOWNS TO EXPAND

VALDEZ, Oct. 27.-The chamber of commerce last night adopted a resolution to be transmitted to Del egate Wickersham requesting him to introduce in the house at the coming session and endeaVor to se- cure the passage through congress of bill permitting incorporated towns in Alaska to annex adjacent territory with the consent of the inhabitants thereof
 Under existing law when a town is once incorporated 1t cannot en- large it's boundaries, solely because the Alaska code fails to make any provision for any such contingency although every state in the union has such a provision.
 Valdez Is much interested in this matter because amendments of the law will enable 1t to annex the Res eryatiOn, whose inhabitants almost unanimously desire to come into the town
 Territory could be annexed only by the affirmative vote of a major ity of the residents of the territory proposed to be annexed

MAY SOON BE SHIPPING OIL

CORDOVA. Oct. 20.-Information was received over the telephone from Katalla from Superintendent Willoughby, of the Amalgamated de- velopment company, operating at hat place that thorough test had been given the three wells which were recently connected with the pumps and that the results were be- yond all reasonable expectations.
 The new company has been doing some very extensive development work on their property, and intend 70 ship oil as soon as possible A pipe line has been laid to Kanak Island, to the new harbor, known IS Ockalee channel recently sur veyed by the government survey boat Patterson. The line is now practically completed and with the installation of pumps on the three producing wells 1t begins to look as though shipping will begin in the near future.
 These wells were drilled some years ago by the English company, but for some reason were capped IS soon as oil was encountered. Even the rigs and walking beams of all but one well were torn out, which made it extremely difficult for the new company to begin oper- ations. MT. Willoughby stated that after a thorough test with the pumps during the past few days the en. zines were shut down and the wells are now flowing without the pumps This is probably caused by the ac- n ed out which had gathered for years in the casing.
 The news that oil exists in com. mercial quantities on this property will be received by Cordova people
