There promises to be considerable activity in oil development in this vicinity during the next few months, as several of the companies which have kept up their assessment work during the many years that the land has been withdrawn, have filed oQ their claims, with a priority right to lease them under the act recently passed by Congress.
 The Chilkat Oil Company has had 8 patent to their ground and have sunk twelve wells, eleven of which are pro- ducers. None of these, however, have been drilled as deep as they intend to go and the work will now be pushed to ascertain what can be found in oil at a much greater depth
 The Alsaka Consolidated Company, which took over forty-two claims Of 160 acres each from the old English company, has arranged to start work next month.

Operating expenses, the roads said, have increased 99.1 per cent since 1916, and revenues 36.37 per cent. Operating expenses, it was added, are now 99 per cent of the revenues, against 68 per cent ill 1916.
 Arguing for the increases, the rail- road executives said the one billion dollars of added revenue was neces- sary if the roads were to handle the nations commerce satisfactorily. They contended that savings promised by them could not be effected at once because the roads were not returned to them in the same conditions as they were taken over and because of unsolved labor difficulties.
 Clifford Thorne, of Chicago, repre- senting shippers, recommended to the commission that the roads be unified for operation as they were in 1917, de- claring that only in this way could the roads solve the existing trans portation problem.
 Mr. Thorne also argued that the rate advances asked were excessive as the carriers had not made any pro- vision for more efficient operation or for decreases in the cost of materials He also argued that the companies set too high a value on their proper. ties and that they were capitalizing land granted them by federal and state governments without cost and asking the people to forever pay a tax on these free gifts.
