Alaska's Eskimo shipyard at Unala kleet, snear .St. Michaels, has not yet found way of turning out boats that will not shrink, according according to reports.
 The Twins, a product of the yard has resorted to sacks, cans and rags to keep the water out. The Wasp another boat turned out at Unalakleet foundered some time ago when a storm opened her seams.
 All the boats built at Unalakleet are made of native lumber. The yard turns out good looking boats. When The Twins dropped anchor, fresh from the yard several years ago many white men skilled in the work of building boats, expressed their ad miration for the native workmanship
 The Twins is a veteran of the run between Alaska and Siberia. It is owned by three Siberian natives. The three pile in all their relatives and friends every spring and bring them to Nome, where they spend the sum mer camping. In the fall, just before the ice closes in, they take their load back to Siberia.

FREIGHT BY AIRPLANE
 FOR TEXAS OIL FIELDS

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 12 (by Associ ated Press) Financial success or failure in tha new Texas oil fields so often depends upon being first to reach a certain point~ that the air. plane may become common means of ldcomotion among oil men, ac. cording to big dealers. The airplane was used recently by officers of two oil companies to hurry from Ranger to a new found field.
 Officers at Barron field, the govern ment flying field here, say it will be only sh6rt time before airplanes are in general commercial use in the oil fields, because of their speed and the adaptability of the country for flying purposes.
 The Barran field authorities esti- mate that it costs the government $50 an hour to keep a plane in the air, but that the oil men could oper- ate machine for $40 an hour. Good pilots could be selected at not pro- hibitive salaries from among the hundreds graduated by the War De- pertinent in the last year.
