EAST TO SPEND TWO MILLION IN
 KATALLA FIELD
Two Syndicates Will Devote Huge Sum to Determine Value of Alaska Oil
 Prospects

Two Eastern syndicates will ex- rend $2,O9O,0O0 for the purpose of determining whether ithe Katalla oil fields have oil in great quantities or whether the oil sands of that sec tion are small deposits having little high grade oil in them This is the word contained in long article in recent edition of the Seattle Times. from the pen of J. J. Under wood.
 This is one of the first direct re suits of the action of Congress ir passing the oil leasing bill and the action of Secretary Payne in making liberal regulations for Alaska under the terms of that bill
 The two syndicates each have preferential rights to large quanti- ties of coal lands under the terms of the bill. They consist of holdings that were being developed at the time of the Withdrawal of oil lands by President Roosevelt in 1906 which have been consolidated in a manner that will permit of systematic pros pecting and developing.
 Excellent oil has been found on some of these properties. and some of it has been constantly produced, and in small way refined for use. However, it has never been found in such quantities as would admit of the use of large capital. It is now proposed to bore, the entire country, and experts are already on the grounds to prosecute the work.
 J. J. Underwood, writing of the sit uation at Katalla, says:
 There is only one piece of pat ented oil land in Alaska It is sit uated at Katalla, and for many years past has been producing approxi- mately $100,000 worth of crude oil each year. This is topped off in a refinery and the gasoline and lighter oils sold to fishing boats and for domestic purposes in the Alaska cities. The residue is sold for use on oil burning ships and for Diesel engines.

RAIL ROADS OF RUSSIA NEED THOUSANDS OF
 LOCOMOTIVES AND CARS

MOSCOW, May 5.-Russian railroad shops working at maximum of peace time capacity, will require more than ten years to restore nor nal traffic with the present faeil- ities of production, according to a survey recently published in the Economic Life. The chief needs are shown to be the importation of rolling stock and the home devel- opment of the transportation indus try.
 The survey shows that in 1914 the number of locomotives was approx. imately 10000 with 16 per cent, unfit for use, Ire present number of To- comotives kis about 10000 with 59 per cent cut of commission, or in need of repairs, and the number Of cars 250.00O. Lines in operation have also diminished about 20 per cent. The maximSm production in the Russian shops was 1900 locomotives and 10000 cars annually and the number that retired each year was 1900 locomotives and 30000 trucks The present need is for 15,00O locome tives and 450,000 cars.

one of the officers did not escape the
ever wary and watchful eye of the
outlaw and he fed.
