just now, so far as Democratic pat ronage is concerned, are Thomas Donohoe, of Valdez, national commit teeman and Charles A. Sul2er, candi- date for delegate. Those seeking of fees are assiduously courting the good favor of these two men and their close friends. Moreover there has been and is now lot of quiet soft footing from Alaska to Washington, D. C., in tn hopes of working the poll tical combinations and landing some thing. It is indicated however, from Washington, D. C., sources, that there will be nothing doing" unless the indorsement of the Alaska Territorial committeeman is first obtained.
 In any event, the game is becoming intensely interesting, and from all in- dications and signs it will not be long before something will drop.

OIL STALE LAND RESERVED FOR
 USE OF THE NAVY

WASHINGTON.-(SpeciaD - The most important single act during the month in connection with the classiti- cation of mineral lands was the crea- ton of two naval oil Shale reserves, one of 45,44O acres in western Colo rado. and one of S6 6,5S4 acres in north western Utah. The lands thus set apart for the use of the navy contain bodies of shale which, when mined and distilled in properly constructed rctorts, yield oil of good quality. Thus far oil has not been extracted from shale in the Unitel States m commercial quantities, since the dis ,overy of crude oil developed by wells, because oil can be secured in the lat ter way much more cheaply than through the more complex process of extracting it from shales. But the oil ,hale industry has existed in Scotland for half a century in spite of the competition of the oil fields of the world and the time will doubtless come when the large oil Shale deposits O.. western United States will also be developed in a commercial way.
 These naval oil Shale reserves have been created to provide for the needs of the navy during that future time when the ordinary oil fields have been so reduced that it becomes prac~ ticablc and profitable to distill the more expensive shale oils.

the circulation department all kinds Of
