GOVERNOR RIGGS
 LIKES PIONEERS
The Governor Says Pioneers Are Body of Fine Old Men-sitka
 Historic Place

Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr, who re- turned the first Of the week from sitka. was enthusiastic over his trip Co the old capital. Allen shattuck, a director of Che Pioneers Home, accompanied Gov. Riggs on his trip.
 "The Pioneers Home is a splendid piece of phianthropic work on the part of tho Territory" said Gov. Riggs. "Thcrc are now 63 inmates The buildings are not entirely adapt ed to institutional needs, but have answered the experimental purposes very we'll and will be useful until such time as money, men and ma tcrials are available. The inmates as a whole are comfortable and con- tented although there are naturally some who find certain amount of fault. This. however, is to be ex- pocted among G3 old sourdoughs. The type of men in the home is re- markable splcndd, cheerful old men who are simply there as a result Of misfortunes experienced in the Far North. They are loyal. good Ameri- cans and the Territory should be proud Co bc able to render assist ancc to them in their days of ad- vorslty. ! hope to see the Home get tho full assistance of the legislature.

All our relies are slipping away into museums in the States, which should be kept i'm Alaska for the benefit of our citizens and visit ors Go the Territory. | hope to be able to interest enough people in Alaska Co form an historical society for Che collection. not only of histor- lcaI relics and documents but also to gather data on historical matters for the Historical Library for the benefit of future historians.

NATURAL GAS
 FOR CoRDOVA
Citizens of Westward Town May Get Natural Gas in Commercial
 Quantities

A correspondent or Che Cordoya Times. made a trip to the Katalla oil fields and writes tho following facts for his paper:
 A trip Go che Boring oil fields tributary Co Katalla is indeed rcv- elation. So little publicity has been given to Che important development work being done that one is amazed by a visit Co the st. Elias Company's properties.
 Besides the several wells which are being pumped daily, Che product of which Is being refined on the ground, bis standard drilling out fits are driving other wells as fast as possible. One well Is progressing at Che rate of more than forty feet DOT day. and at Che time of writing there is such a volume of natural gas escaping that an fires have been cX- tinguished in the near vicinity for fear of explosion. This we'll is only about two hundred yards from where Che English Company struck a gushcr some years ago and indica- tions are that the present we'll may be big producer and possibly a ! gushor. The men who are drilling the well are experienced men from outside fields and they are confident that they win strike a gusher.
 Should a few more producers be tapped there is very litto doubt Ibut that the company will install ! Ipipe line to Cordova. where their product may be available at an times for commercial purposes. At the present time their output can an be disposed of ln the Prince William sound district. but the cost of trans portatlon by the crude methods which are now utilized for the dis tributlon of the output would be greatly improved by a pipe line to Cordova. which could be installed at a very nominal initial cost and would eliminate practically all the future expense.
 The installation Of such a system would also mean natural gas for local consumption at Cordova. The natural gas is being utilized in the operation of the company's plants at the present time. In numerous places on the properties gas is escaping through natural vents, but thc work ing pipes have been installed i'm the crevicos and lights attached that the employees may be better enabled to perform their duties on dark nights.
 Those who have never lived in a country where natural gas is avail able for household consumption can scarcely comprehend what tho con- venience and choapness of this pro-
 duct means

DOUGLAS SURVEY
 NOW COMPLETED
Trustee of Douglas Townsite Now Ready to Entertain Applica-
 tions for Deeds

c. R. Arundell. chief Of the Alas ka Field Division and Trustee of the Townslte of Douglas, wag in the city yesterday and informs the News that the survey of the townsite has been completed and the plat finally approved by the Commissioner Of the General Land onice.
 He states that he Is now ready to receive applications for deeds in the manner prescribed in the legal notice in another column of this paper and wishes to emphasize the fact that applications should be made immediately, and i'm any event be- fore the 21st Of August.
 The survey and plating of the townslte of Douglas has been ac- compllshed at remarkably low cost, and with the expenses connect ed with the field and office work will cost the property owners only about $1.3OO.
 This ls by far the lowest cost Of any townsito survey in the Terri tory of Alaska and is owing to the fact that the government is doing all the work through its paid of- Gcials where in the past n townsite trustee was appointed and the ex- penses of whose office, his salary alone being S1O a day. was borne by the property owners. In the case of Douglas no expense has been charged against the townsite occupants for the services of the Trustee, as the work is being handled by Mir. Arun- dell along with his other duties as chief Of the Alaska Field Division of the General Land office.
