Peter tiptoed past the sewing room

all around tho fields, and almost all of tho wells havc struck oil. The man in whose onlcc have been do- ing this writing is an oil well man and he tells me that SD per cent of tho wells driven have produced re- suits. You will notice from the fol- dep that they have endeayorcd Co drill i'm tho cemetery. which ia true. Tho oil wells in town are not 80 good as those out of tho city limits, but thcy'have oil and can Eouch for it.
 "NIost of tho wells were driven in a hurry and they have no place Co store tho oil and are trying to con struct sunkon tanks like they have on Kern river in Bakersfield. This work is very slow on account of the lack of labor and facilities and equipment of an kinds. The new railroad through here is being sur vcycd and thc work will commence on that soon. also on the new depot now being planned to take care of the traffic. c."-Fairbanks Citizen.

LET HIM GO

A Mexican was placed in jail in Douglas one evening this week but released again without any charges being placed against him. The ease was one of the old domestic triangle. The Mexican wants to marry a na- tive woman who the native man in the case claims is married to him by native custom. Both men claim the woman and the rumpus that was stopped by the arrest of the Mexican by Marshal Grant was caused when the native man protested in no un- certain terms when tho Mexican in- yadcd his home to take the woman away.
 Mir. Grant, after calming down the cxcitablc Mexican. dismissed him with a warning that he was taking a big risk when he went into an- other mans home to take his wife away.

ALASKA IS LITTLE
 KNOWN IN STATES
Folks Seem to Be Awfully Ignorant of the Great Northern
 Territory

Despite all that has been done by
 Nlaskans Co inform Outsiders re-
 garding conditions in this country, despite the whlc circulation of gov ,rumcnt reports, covering every phase of federal activity in the North. the publicity campaigns con ducted by the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Inc hundreds of descriptive articles published by writers of prominence
 n magazines and newspapers, dcs- plte all these efforts to cnlightcn tho people of the United States, there gull remains an astounding amount of ignorance regarding Uncle Sam's northern empire. And more sur prising still is the fact that a very large proportion Of this ignorance Is shared by residents of the Pacific coast. much of it even in Seattle, where Alaskan affairs are second only in importance to those of the Puget Sound metropolis.
 In letter addressed to the An- choragc Times, well known old inner of the railroad town tells of roming in contact with many resi- dents of the Spirit City who display nm appalllng lack of knowledge Of the territory.
 A business man of Seattle he writes. dating his residence from 1889, expressed qualification in meeting someone from Alaska for Inc reason that Inc was an "old AL l ,skan himself" He had been every whcfc in tho North, he assured the visitor from Alaska. yet he could not recall the names of any of the coast towns except Juneau, and was not sure whether the capital was Ju- noau or some other place. CT have been to Juneau" he said, "and saw that wonderful railroad the Gug- scnhcims built" When reminded that he must be referring to Cordo- "a. he gave another exhibition Of ignorance by replying: "oh. yes that's so, where the capital is. | 'omcmbcr"
 The writer also tells Of an intro Iuction Co Seattle woman who said
 he was glad to run across some one rom the north. for she wanted toI make inquiry about a brother who had migrated to Alaska several years She did not know where
 he brother had located, but sup posed "anyonc from Alaska knew everyone else there" When an at-
 cmpt was made to convey some idea of distances in the territory, the lady cut short the conversation, ex- or5-rug the belief that her new ac- 1u,utunce had never been in AL nska.
 Among other questions put to the Alaskan by residents of the Spirit rlty were: "Do the boats stop at Seward before they do at Anchorage? Docs the water in Cook inlet freeze an the way to the bottom? Is itI lark six months of the year in AL oska? Is it true that old prospectors are compelled to live on glacier worms when short of provisions?'
 How to overcome this ignorance of Alaska, the writer concludes, is a problem. especially when the repre- scntativcs Of our own government at Washington refuse to believe the .old facts concerning it's wonderful development of resources in the past under most adverse circumstances md conditions.
