Alaska Oil


The enlightened policy outlined by Secretary
Payne today should go long way toward stmulat-
ing the search for and the production of oil in
Alaska.
The secretarys purpose is to of the
restrictions which have discouraged prospectors while
at the same time, retaining government equity in
production where the obtained is sufficient
to register substantial profit to the operator.
Conditions in Alaska in many ways, com
parable with those obtaining in Pennsylvania at the
time of the initial prospecting successfully drill
ing in that state
The early operators there were frghtfully handi.
capped by bad roadsa difficulty, by the way, which
is being encountered well by persons owning wells
in the new Texas fields. barrel of oil that might
be bought for 81 in the fields nearest tidewater,
would cost SO by the time It had been Transported
to seaboard
Should oil be discovered in paying quantities in
Interior Alaska, transportation and other costs will
be exceptionally heavy. There roads and
only limited number of trails, while pipe lines
or until the Northern fields develop production on
big scale.
The Payne regulations recognize these circum-
stances and dc not require a royalty from wells on
government land producing less than 100 barrels a
day. More productive wells will pay five per cent
royalty after five years and 10 per after ten
years.
Moreover the successful prospector always will be
allowed to use one-fourth of the land he leases roy
atty Free no matter how much oil he obtains.
The new rules appear just and reasonable. Only
by the application of wisely generous regulations
of this nature will it be possible develop not
only the oil but all the other resources in the Ter
ritory.

If SKIN BREAKS OUT
BURNS AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Men
tho Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says noted skin spe-
cialist. This sulphur preparation,
made into a. pleasant cold cream, gives
such a quick relief even to fiery ecze-
ma, that nothing has ever been found
to take its place.
Because of its germ destroying pro-
perties, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the &c
zema right up, leaving a clear, smooth
skin in place of ugly eruptiens, rash
pimples or roughness.
You do not have to wait for i'm
provement. 1t quickly shows. You can
get a little jar of Mentho- Sulphur at
any drug store.-Adv

FELL PREY TO KHAKI'S LURE
That Is Charge d. w. Glenn Brings
Against Wife in Court.

Home was all that the poets claim
it to be until the United States entered
the world war and Pearl Glenn, COS
Chandler street, fell a prey to khaki
clad soldiers, according to testimony
by d. w. Glenn today in Judge George
H. Whitcomb's division of the district
court.
1--WE moved to Manhattan at the
time all of the soldiers were at Camp
Funston" Glenn testified. I'VE had
four children and 1 had to stay at
home and support the children. We
rented a big house and rented rooms.
Two girls roomed there and they in
duced my wife to go out to see the
soldiers at Camp Funston. Later. L
learned these girls were bad and they
were arrested by Manhattan authori-
ties"
From then on things went from bad
to worse. according to Glenn,s testi-
mony. They moved to Topeka and
lived at sos Chandler street.
my wife kept on going with these
soldiers, particularly Lee Robbins
said Glenn, land had to stay at home
nights to take care of the children
Glenn claims his wife's alleged mis-
conduct resulted in her becoming dis
eased. Mrs. Glenn claims that her
husband was responsible for the dis
ease.
In her testimony Mrs. Glenn alleges
that her husband was not faithful to
her and names Dorothy Cramer of
Topeka and Clara Stone of Kansas
City as women in the case. She
charges her husband kept notebook
containing the names of his women
friends and also alleges that he wrote
down obscene verses and stories in the
notebook.
Before the final row, Mrs. Glenn
obtained the notebook. 1t was intro
duced in court today. The Glenns are
fighting for the custody of the chill
dren. Mrs. Glenn says her husband is
not fit to care for the children and he
makes the same claim regarding her.
