Speaks in New York

NEW YORK, May 2O.-President
Wilson opened the Red Cross drive
here in an address in which he said
that to win the war the United States
was determined to set no restrictions
on the number of men to be sent to
France AS many men will go over
seas as ships can be found to carry.
The United States will not be di.
verted by the insincere talk of peace
from the Teutons, continued the Presi.
dent Their proposals, he said, sprang
from a desire to have free hand in
the East.
The President asserted that he in
tended to stand by Russia as we'll as
France. "The United States,' he con
cluded, sis facing two duties first, to
win the war, and second, to win it
greatly and worthily."

To DEVELOP OIL
PROPERTY On 4
LARGE SCALE.

The st. Elias Oil Company of Ka.
talla has leased all it's holdings for a
term of years to the Chilkat Oil Com
pany, new corporation recently Or
ganized under the laws of Delaware
The new company took over the man
agement on May l, and will proceed
to develop the property on a larger
scale.
Drilling is proceeding, new derricks
are being erected, and the new COM
pany expects to spend 100000 within
the next year or two in making a
thorough test of the ground.
Practically the same officers con.
troll the affairs of the new company
that directed the activities of the old.
The new organization was made nee
essary in order to secure additional
capital and meet the peculiar re
quirements of the oil-leasing bill.
Falcon Joslin, president of the St
Elias Oil Company, together with
Eastern associates, perfected the new
organization, and he, with the assist.
ance of George c.. Hazelet, will direct
the affairs of the company at this end
A scowload of new casing tools and
equipment arrived on the last boat
and was taken to Katalla by the
launch Waif last Saturday.
Mr., Hazelet has recently returned
from Katalla and reports all work
progressing satisfactorily. Mr.. Jos
lin is expected North soon. In speak
ing of the oil-leasing bill Mr.. Hazelet
said its provisions were uncertain and
indefinite, and in fact it is not known
what effect they may have upon the
industry He said that the chances
were the old claimants would have
the preferred rights to lease the prop.
erty they have held and done work
on for the past number of years. He
says that so far as he knows the sit.
uation of the coal is as it has been
for number of years. There seems
to be a disposition upon the part of
the secretary of the interior not to
allow the Bering field to open until
it has been demonstrated what can be
done with the Matanuska field, this
of course, in the interest of the gov.
ernment railroad. In the meantime
we can get our coal from British Co
lumbia.

BEAVER LAW HAS BEEN
EXTENDED UNTIL 1928

What will probably be bad news
to the trapper who contemplated
catching beaver for this year will be
the information that the law protect.
ing this fur-bearing animal has been
extended for five years more.
The protective law, ar originally
passed, rendered the beaver immune
from the trapper until November l,
1918. Recent advices state that the
time of protection has been extended
until November 1, 1928. 1t is desired
that trappers take due notice of the
change in order to avoid any undue
catching OF beaver fur.
