SULzER PRESENTS BILL TO DREDCE
 OUT DRY STRAIT

Delegate Charles A. Sulzer has in troduced bill appropriating $500,000 for dredging Dry Strait so as to pro vide a direct channel from Wrangell to Frederick Sound, and thus to make it unnecessary for vessels ply ing the waters of Southeastern Alas ka to pass through Wrangell Mar rows or the outside route by way of Cape Decision. The work has been recommended as feasible by the En- gineers' Corps of the United States Army. Delegate Sulzer has promised to endeavor to secure the adoption of the legislation, though the war and consequent pressure upon all branches of the War Department, might delay the undertaking.
 The bill as introduced by Delegate Sulzer is as follows:
 Be it enacted, etc. That the sum of $500000 be, and the same is here by appropriated. to be paid out of any money in the Treasury not oth- CT wise appropriated, to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, for the dredging, deepening and widening of the chan mel of Dry Strait, Alaska, in accord ance with the recommendations em- bodied in the report made by the Secretary of War in House Docu- ment Numbered Sixty-eight, Sixty first Congress, first session.

MUST ACT TO AVERT
OIL FAMINE
Increase in American. Production
Necessary to Meet the Situation

Washington, Nov. 30,-Notntug but
immediate action and that Of the most
decisive sort, can save the country
from an oil famine as severe rs the
coal shortage that has been hamper
ing the nations war and industrial &C.
tivities.
This statement was made tonight ky
a government official familiar with the
oil situation.
The United States fuel administra.
ton is to meet the pl 'lem hy the
formation OF special Of. division I'M
mediately. This new division will be
headed by one of the biggest oil men
in the country. He will act for DR..
Garfield, who has virtually the same
powers with regard to oil that he has
over hard and soft coal.
Here is the situation in a nutshell
consumption of oil here and abroad
has practically doubled.
The United States has never pro-
duced all of it's own oil, replying on
imports from Mexico to some extent.
Some weeks ago Great Britain asked
for 100000 tons Of crude oil monthly
and arrangements were made to pro-
vide it for her. This Oil was for the
British navy alone Then it developed
that the United States navy, espe-
cially the submarine hunting destroy
ers, will burn at least as much oil. and
perhaps more. than the British Off
cials requested.
American oil fields therefore would
have to produce about 1000, 900 tons
more monthly or the million tons
would have to come out Of the regu-
lar domestic supply The department
of the interior has been working for
weeks on the problem, and has is
sued warnings that oil of all kinds
must be conserved. At the same time
should begin efforts to increase oil
should begin efforffts to increase oil
production Chairman Cuffev, the head
of the Pittsbrrg oil committee of the
Council Of National Defense, also was
active. There was not cooperation
sufficient to granp7e with the problem.
however, and the result has been that
an oil shortage has arisen almost uH-
