Detroit built motor boats like De
troit made automobiles not only

TRACTORS IN
BIG DEMAND
Undergoing Changes That viii
Make Industry a World
Leader

II IL the firm conviction Of the
big leaders OF the motor world that
the farm tractor, which up 10 the
year 1915 was in its crude and un-
developed form, is now undergoing
an evolution and growth which will
make Il rank as leader among the
greatest industries the world has
ever known. says John Feys. OF
Feys b West, investment brokers
No. sos Congress building.
Along with the inception OF the
idea OF replacing motor power &c
horse power In pleasure vehicles
came the idea OF supplanting the
work horse on the farm for the
more efficient motor power. but the
idea was not quite so forcibly i'm
pressed on the farmer
The threshing machine too, like
the steam tractor came into prom
inence and was used for many
years. but II soon became evident
that the tractor OF the nineteenth
century was far too big, too heavy
and too massive 10 suit the ideas
OF the twentieth century farmer. II
was during this time OF experiment
that the smaller farmer who had
been looking on, saw the need OF a
small tractor that would pull three
,.or four plows az the rate OF two and
one-half 10 three miles per hour,
that could be turned around con.
veniently. that would burn kerosene
and could be turned around con
veniently and could be managed
by one man. This does not
mean. however. that the heavy
tractor will become extinct. II
Is a general conceded idea that
the big tractor necessary for
the cultivation of large areas, Will
become a valuable by-product of the
small tractor industry
AT 4 census taken in 1915 there
were 100000 steam tractors in oper-
alton in the United States, az
against 10000 gas tractors. This
does not include last years produc-
ton OF 10000 tractovs. nor this
years orders now standing, which
show an output of $4,000 tractors
with the possibility OF future orders
swelling the output 20 100000.

The Dunbar Stone company makes

matters OF pride OF the company In
the fact that a large feet OF 1S-

to transport stone from River Rouge
TO the places where the material

Tho trucks were bought in 1916
owing 10 the fear OF a tle-up in

NEW O|L W ELS BEING SUNK AT
 KATAlLA

The St. Elias Oil Company, which has patent on 160 acres of land near Katalla, is now manufacturing 50,O00 gallons of gasoline and distillate a month, which is produced from a high grade parrafine base oil of the same quality, or better, than is found in Pennsylvania.
 George c. Hazelet has just returned from the plant, where he has been experimenting the sinking of three new wells, which his company will have in operation this year, in addi- tion to the six wells which are now being pumped. One of the new wells is down 520 feet, and will be completed this month. The oil is struck at A depth of from 450 to TOO feet.
 The company does not intend to drill to the deeper sands. simply aim ing to supply this section with a DOT tion of the gasoline and distillate used They very wisely feel that they can not afford to make the investment necessary for the sinking of deep wells with their limited acreage. The oil sands are from 2,500 to 5000 feet deep, according to geologists. This would be done, however, if the gov ernment made arrangements for the leasing of the ground in that field There is at present leasing bill pend. ing in congress. and if acted upon favorably would tend to develop the Katalla oil lands.
 The St. Elias Company has a crew of fifteen men at work, and the pro. duct is transported to Prince William sound ports by the launch Waif.

(By Associated Press)

SEWARD, June 6. - Half of the money received by the government from the sale of lots in townsites along the United States railroad from here to Fairbanks is to be used in improvement work on the streets and park reserves within the townsites.
 This provision, which is made pos sible through paragraph in the civil sundry bill, passed by the present con- gress, insures the use of the following amounts in townsites already sold:
 Federal and Cliff additions to Sew ard, s7000; Anchorage, $50,000; Mata- nuska, $1,750: Nenana, $22,00O.
 The expenditure of this money is under the control of the secretary of the interior and can be used for pre- pairing the land for occupancy, con- struction and maintenance of public utilities and Improvements, and the construction of public schools.

GAP PTA|Ns CUBAN SHIPS NEED NUT
 BE CITIZENS
(By Associated Press)

HAVANA, June 6 - President Me. nocal has vetoed a bill recently passed by the Cuban congress, which pro. vided that no ship under Cuban regis try should be cleared from any port of the republic unless the captain was native or naturalized Cuban citizen
 In vetoeing the bill President Me nocal stated this country is without sufficient number of experienced navigators to have such law on it's statute books, and that to put such a law in operation would work serious injury upon the republics small mer- chant marine and probably would re suit in compelling owners of the sey- eral large ships now sailing under the Cuban flag to transfer their registry to some other nation.
 The measure is said to have been inspired by ambitious Cubans. who have been studying marine engineer. ing, in the hope that they might be able to become commanders of the sev- eral interned German ships recently seized by the Cuban government when diplomatic relations were broken eff with that government.

ALASKANS HEED GALL TO RAISE
 F0ODSTUFFS
(By Associated Press)

JUNEAU, June 6. - Alaskans are preparing this spring to garden on scale never before attempted in the territory, following proclamation by the governor, urging his constituents to recognize their responsibility and add all possible to the nations food supply.
 Farmers in the various agricultural districts of the territory who raise products for the market will have as much ground under cultivation as pos sible, but the most important item is the family backyard.
 Intensive farming is possible in Alaska. owing to the long days and rapid growth of root vegetables and berries. Remarkable returns are pos sible from a plot of twenty feet square, and it is to those who may have previ- ously overlooked the advantages of utilizing their back yards that Gov ernor J. F. A. Strong directed the proclamation.

GRAND SCRAMBLE FUR POLITICAL
 OFFICES

Many Alaskans are becoming anx ious and beginning to wonder when President Wilson will make some no minations for federal officers in the north. As yet no nomination has been made for governor, although the pres ent incumbent, Hon. J. F. A. Strong completed his four years in office on May 21, having received his appoint. ment sometime in April, 1913.
 For surveyor general c. E. David son received his nomination in May, 1913, but was not confirmed until some time in July of the same year.
 In this division Judge Browns term expires during the present month, and he will in all probability be reappoint- ed without opposition. Marshal Bren- neman was appointed in the fall of 1913, and United States Attorney Spence at later date. As to whether these officials will succeed themselves remains to be seen, as a strong fight has been made against the latter and the former has some political enemies in Alaska, but Is reputed to have the endorsement of Vice-President Mar. shall
 In the First division, Si Tanner has been named United States marshal, but this was hurried along by the re- signation of the former marshal, Bishop.
 In the Second division Marshal Jor- dan is being bitterly fought for re- nomination by the Democratic ma chine, which claims he did not sup port Sulzer for delegate. Jordan, hows ever, has influential backing in New York, and the outcome of his fate is awaited at Nome with much interest.
 In the Fourth division, the only one whose term nearly expired is L. T. Erwin, United States marshal He re- ceived his commission on May 20, 1913, but did not assume office until the first of the fiscal year, July 1, 1913. He was recently reappointed, but has not as yet been confirmed.

STRIKE |S SETTLED BY
 ARBITRATION
tBy Associated press)

MEXICO CITY, June 6. - A strike of textile workers in the federal dis trict, the state of Mexico and Vera Cruz, has been settled by arbitration. in which c. Lopez de Lara, governor of the federal district, played an. i'm portant part. The strikers were given increases in wages ranging from 25 to 100 per cent, graduated according to the wages now received. Workmen earning less than 75 centaves a day were given 100 per cent increases, while those earning four pesos or more received 25 per cent. As the former wages were based on a ten hour day, however, the actual increase in pay under the present eight hour law will not attain those figures. Piece work CTS in the textile trades secured ad- vances of from 40 to 100 per cent.
