ALASKA OIL FIELDS THE MECCA

A rush is on to the oil fields of Western Alaska, where there are hun. dreds of square miles of country on which oil can be found Up until now nothing could be done with the oil on account of no one being able to ac- auire title to the property
 The oil is said to be aqual in quality to any in the world, and no one doubts for minute that in the course of a very few years the Alaska oil fields will be among the greatest in the coun- try.
 With visions of quick fortunes made in other parts of the worl din oil the stampeders will go to the Alaska fields this year, but it is doubtful if any real development work will be accom- plished this season.
 When the welels begin coming in another source of wealth of the terri tory will be proven and manay more people will be added to the permanent population, and the wisdom of open ing up the oil fields for lease will be evident-Douglas News.

ENUMERATOR TURNS REsCUER

state, near Oswego, few days ago, aR enumerator making his rounds on snowshoes arrived at an isolated farm dwelling, only to find that an able bodied man was needed more than census gatherer, as the man of the family had been sick in bed for sev- eral days and the farm animals were suffering for lack of food and water. The census man, like any good neigh Dor would, stopped long enough to do the chores, dig out paths through the deep snow and put things in shipshape order before continuing his journey.

LONDON, Feb. 27 (by Associated Press) .-Premjers Lloyd George and Nillerand, in their latest note to Presi- dent Wilson concerning the Adriatic question, state that the allies never intended making a definite settlement of that question with obtaining the views of the American government
 The absence of an American repre- sentative from their councils, says the note, has proved an almost insurmount- able obstacle to the success of the negotiations.

In the course of the recent valuation
hearings before the Interstate Com

president Of the American Short Line
Association, stated there were s04 roads
in the country classed as short lines.
They operate total of 36,429 miles.
Mr.. Robinson said there were many
which were "skort in revenue" as well
as in mileage. Standard gauge roads
of less than 100 miles number COS. In
describing experiences OF has own in
building short-line railroads Mr. Rob-
inson said some Immediately produced
a large increase in the value Of the
adjacent land, but shippers invariably
complained Of the high freight rates.
AS result, he said. rates had frequent
ly been reduced, in spite of the fac
that one road Of 400 miles has never
paid cent on its stocks and another
road Of siXty-two miles has never paid
interest on its bonds, although it has
increased the value OF the adjacent
land from 81 to 5000 an acre.

Sterling exchange yesterday climbed
as high as s4.o5A, the highest level it
has reached since the end of Novem-

year that the pound has been quoted
higher than 50. The removal Of the
