Uncle Sam-ModeI Employer

OnCle OdIu 4flO0Cl A@lAAFiOI ~A
 Your Uncle Sam is teaching employ CTS a few fine tricks on that new gov erument railroad he is building up in Alaska. William c. Edes, chief of the United States Alaska Engineering Com pany, is the boss of the big job.
 What do you think was one of the first things he did when he began the work this summer? He wrote to Sec retary Lane and said that one of the first buildings be wanted to put up at the new town of Anchorage (which is the construction camp base for the rail roads) was an amusement hall.
 He said that he thought it was bad thing for a big construction camp not to have a place where the men could have proper recreation, and he asked authority to spend $500 in equipping a hall with aphonograph, library, some pool tables and other amusements. Dr. Downey, comptroller of the treasury, promptly ruled that lJ was a most prop CT expenditure.
 So now the men at Anchorage have governmeut-owned recreation plant, where they can get healthy amusement free as part of their contract with Uncle Sam-model employer. The building is a regular community play house and civic center. Iu addition it | is used for all sorts of community pur- poses.
 The other day wandering preacher arrived at the construction camp. When Sun day came around the government building was turned over 10 him, the billiard tables were pushed back against the wall and the preacher held Sunday service.-Cleveland Press.

-OI in Alaska

Alaska has not been misnamed the anstional treasure house" First gold, then coal and copper, and now oil is fonnd in apparent abundance in the great North, according to W. B. Van Valin, of the federal bureau of educa- tion. who carries with him some evil pence of the truth of his story.
 Indications of oil have been hereto fore found elsewhere than in the far North of the territory, and it has been confidently expected that capital would ultimately develop it in commercial quantities. But Mir. Van Valin finds four springs within the Arctic circle, bubbliug oil from the frozen ground and forming a great lake SO extensive as to be dangerous of approach. Al lowing for the enthusiasm of the dis coverer, it seems possible thst Mir. Van Valin has stumbled upon a great natur al deposit that may develop into an ex- tensive oil field.
 oil in commercial quantities would mean much to Alaska. Should the dis covery prove all that is hoped for, there will be an additional reason why industry and capital should seek the territory and why the immediate future of that golden country should more than ever glow with promise.-Ex.
