MISS LILLIAN HILL IS
 IN TEXAS OIL FIELDS

Miss Lillian Hill, formerly of Fairbanks, is now located at Ran ger, Texas, in the heart of the re- gently discovered oil fields. In a newsy letter to friend in Fair banks, Miss Hill says that the town is crowded with people and that everyone has money.
 Rents in Ranger, she says, are very high. Room rent is as much as $40 month, and hotels charge s4 night for a room, while ice water is selling at five cents a glass.
 Work has started, she says, on a new railroad to connect Ranger with the main line, and a new depot is also being built.
 Miss Hill, who has a position with the First National bank there. says the place is regular frontier town with all the attributes of such towns, and in her opinion, Fairbanks and Dawson in the early days were not on a par with Ranger, as she finds 1t.

Anchorage boasts of enjoying better weather than prevails in any section of Alaska-which proves that the editor of the coast paper knows little of climatic conditions in the Panama valley The Interior excels in amount of sunshine, th4 snowfall is not excessive, destructive winds are unknown and summer rains come in moderation, sufficient for the needs of the country, but seldom over-abundant. Anchorage may head the list of coast districts. but Panama valley holds the record for the territory.

BIG COAL RESERVE
 ON COAST DIVISION

ANCHORAGE. - Sufficient coal reserve deposits have been blocked out at the mine operated by the Alaskan Engineering Commission at Eska, 58 miles northeast of here, to insure the commission an ade. quate fuel supply for several years, Sumner s. Smith, in charge of the commissions coal department, re- ports. The output, he says, is suf- fcient to afford not only an ample supply of fuel for construction and operation of the government rail- road. but also a surplus large enough to protect against inter rupted traffic and mine accidents.
 Six different beds of coal of vary ing thickness are under exploration at Eska. The room and pillar method of mining has been adopted as most suitable to conditions en- countered.

UNEMPLOYMENT QUESTION IN ENGLAND IS SERIOUS
MANCHESTER

MANCHESTER, Eng. - Unera- ployment in Lancanshire continues to increase and the outlook in the cotton manufacturing districts is regarded as grave. At Preston there are now more than 11,0OO persons drawing the government out-of- work donation, and about half of them are in the cotton trade.
 Large numbers of miners, includ- ing many demobilized soldiers, are out of work.
 Despite considerable demand for domestic servants, women de- cline to accept such empoyment be- cause they consider the work too trying. The domestic servant, they further say, is not treated with the respect to which she is en- titled.

WOMEN DOCTORS IN HE BALKANS
 ARE DECORATED

NISH, Serbia-Fourteen Ameri- can women doctors are now in the Balkans, assisting the American Red Cross in its work of caring for the sick and destitute. These doctors are from the American Women's hospital in New York and are To- cated in Serbia, Montenegro, and Albania. Six are in Serbia, where the destitution and sickness are greatest. Some of the fourteen have received decorations or have been cited for conspicuous service among the soldiers and refugees They are: Dr. Marjorie Burnham, Ashtabula, Ohio; Dr. Mary H. FL liot, New York; Dr. Harriet M
 Gervais, Dorchester, Mass; pr. AL berta M Greene, Judith Bay, Mont; pr. Lulu Peters, New York; Dr. Marion C. Stevens, Reading, Mass. Dr. Regina Flood Reyes, Buffalo;
 Dr. Flood, Elmira, N. Y; Dr. Cath erine NJ. Cook, Washington, Pa.
 Dr. Catherine NJ. Cook of Wash ington, Pa, and Dr. Dora E. Bow
 man of Kansas City, Mo, are as- sisting the American Red Gross doctors in Montenegro; Dr. Nell G. W. Bartram of Huntington, Pa.
 pr. Mary J. Hyndman of Philadel- phia, and Dr. Sarah E. Foulks of
 Burlington, N. J., are doing similar
 work in Albania.
 At the first call for help from Greece, Dr. Reyes came to Vodena. near the Greek-Serbian frontier. where she set up hospital. She
 was given a handful of medical supplies intended for Syria. The ship which was to supply her hos
 pital never reached Greece It fell
 victim to a German submarine. With the crippled condition of
 transport through Serbia, it was impossible for the American Red
 Cross to get her the necessary
 equipment. She had no operating table, no sterilizers, no beds, no stoves, nothing except her small Xii: of surgical instruments and a few l pounds of medicines 4 carpenter built an operating table of old dry
 goods cases. Dr. Reyes borrowed some iron beds from an abandoned
 military hospital. Old gasoline cans
 were made into stoves, tove-pipes,
 dishes, kettles, sterilizers and every
 thing needed to aid in an emer- gency.
 With the nondescript furnishings and with the aid of Dr. Mabel
 Flood of Elmira, N. Y, and two American nurses, Dr. Reyes opened the first American hospital in
 Northern Greece.
 When the French and Serbians
 began their memorable attack on the Bulgarians, which eliminated in the collapse of Bulgaria, Dr.
 Reyes was asked by the French
 army authorities to accompany their
 troops as regimental surgeon. The plucky American physician served throughout the attack, treating hundreds of wounded officers and soldiers. Her work drew forth the
 warmest expressions of praise and thanks from the French and Serbi-
 an commands. Dr. Reyes is now
 stationed at Monastir, Serbia, and is lending effective aid to the Am erican Red Cross in caring for the sick and wounded soldiers who are returning to their homes from Aus

NEW SEWARD REFORMER

position encountered by the Alaskan Engineering Commission has origin ated, has produced a new obstruc- tionist in the person of Thomas B. Drayton, who is now engaged in the attempt to form an associa- tion ''the chief purpose of which is to promote the building of the proposed government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks''-by taking the work out of the hands of the Alaskan Engineering Commission.
 The Drayton organization-The Alaska Association, as its founder styles twill seek the removal of Chairman Edes and the men actu- ally in charge under his alleged direction flor the reasons that these men are incompetent to build the road, and are also unwilling to complete it so long as public monies are available for salaries, expense accounts and other charges in which they are interested" The preliminary work, as pointed out in the prospectus, will be two-fold to houseclean and simultaneously effect an immediate prosecution of the railroad project.
 It is not the intention of the association to ''assail a band of daring looters, combination of bold grafters, but mearly to effect the quiet dismissal of a collection of unfortunate men whose incapac- ity has brought misfortune upon us and jeorardized our interests. ,"
 The prospectus, which appeared mysteriously among the residents of the coast country recently, con- tains strong appeal for member ship. "We want your membership the typewriter letter reads, .'active or passive-and all that you are able to contribute of brains, in- fluence and experience; and we will also want a dollar of your money now and them ..
 The sole object of the Seward agitator, we are inclined to suspect, is to destroy an organization which has been developed to high degree of efficiency, to tear down smooth ly working machine upon which the government has expended much time and money, and offering noth- ing in it's place-not even con struction suggestion. The proposi- tion is absurd, the freak scheme of man who has missed too many boats. It may reflect the sentiment of certain Seward elment, but outside of Seward it will be rated at it's real worth. Alaskans are tired of that sort of propaganda, of which there has been altogether too much for the good of the terri tory It disturbs conditions locally, creates doubt at Washington and discourages emigration to Alaska. It keeps Northerners constantly on the defensive, preventing aggressive development and hampering those engaged in public work
 The News gives publicity to the Drayton propaganda in order that Interior Alaskans may know of this latest move to interfere with the government railroad enterprise, and Tn order that Outside readers of the News may know that Dray- tons Alaska Association, of Seward, the John E. Ballaine propaganda, also of Seward, the Wickersham at tack on Secretary Lane, and other similar efforts which have been given wide publicity in the States lately, do not reflect the views of Alaskans honestly interested in Alaska development
