BIG GAS FLOW
IS TAPPED 1t
|LL|PAH WELL

Thursday evening last the drill of
the Illipah Petroleum company at
the Illipah oil fields struck a gas
flow which for a time caused consid-
cradle excitement owing to the high
pressure of gas that could be heard
to roar from distance. like big
gas we'll. The flow of gas was
strong enough to cause the drillers
to draw the fire from the boiler to
prevent conflagration.
The Illipah Petroleum we'll is down
to epth of 24e feet and has passed
through the first strata of Gil shale.
Just before the gas was struck the
drill had penetrated strata of about
four feet of sandstone which was
evidently the Gaping to big gas
pocket.
The discovery OF gas at this depth
is an excellent indication that oil is
held at pressure in the new oil
field. The striking of heavy gas At
shallow depth is believed to bear
out the theory of the geologlists who
have reported favorably on the Ilii-
pah field and contradicted the theory
of those who claimed that volcanic
aition had drained the basin.
The roads were crowded with auto
mobiles for several days after the
strike. carrying local Stockholders
and visitors VINO made an inspection
OF the we'll and the new field in gen
eral where the three drills now IN
operation indicate that Illipah is not
merely prospect but field where
a new industry is being pushed with
determination by men who don't
know such word as failure.

AT THE CHURCH

Lester D. Henderson, Commissioner of Education for Alaska, spoke last evening in the Methodist church on the subject, "The Constition and the Public Schools" Mir. Henderson spoke of the sterling qualities of mind and heart that characterized the men who sat in the convention which nodded and shaped the Constitution for the United States of America. Some of them, such as Franklin and Hamilton, had familarized themselves with the methods of government of the leading nations of the world. They selected certain fundamental or basil prime pies which the experience of mankind had proven to be true and practicable. Upon these they built up the constitu- ton which became the supreme law of the United States. He called atten- ton to the fact that there has been and is now a strong tendency to the fact that there has been and is now strong tendency to break away from md even overthrow the form of gov ernment under which for nearly acen- tury and a half we have prospered as no other nation in the world.
 Mr. Henderson also called attention to the fact that there are today in the 2 United States five million illiterates. A government of the people, by the people and for the people, to be con- tinued success must be a government directed by the people not prompted by passion and prejudice but by in- teiligcnce and honesty Herein lies the work of our public schools. Illiteracy must be wiped out. High-school cour-. ses must be advanced so as to give a broader and more comprehensive scope to those who reach and continue in the last years of the public school studies. 1t is in these latter years that the mind of the pupil more readily graspS the fundamental principles upon which our government rests and begins to understand the value of education in developing the youth into helpful cit ixenS.
 In closing his remarks, Mir. Tender son said that for the benefit of the children and the community in general no teacher should ever be dismissed from service because of the whim of two or three disgruntled patrons of the schools.

SEATTLE, Nov., 22- News of a promising gold placer strike in the Chandler district, approximately 100 miles below Fort Yukon, was given out by Allen Crane of that district, at the Alaska Bureau of the Chamber oi Commerce.
 Mr. Crane has come here on busi. ness and to get the assistance of the Alaska Bureau of the Chamber in the effort being made to have the govern ment extend the mail service from Fort Yukon, where there is bi- mon thly mail service, from Circle, to Beav. er City, which is the trading post ana center of the Chandlar mining district.
 He reports that the richest pay, dirt in that district has yielded $275 square foot, but even with this goot, strike transportation costs and hig. provisions are holding the pioneers O. . that section from the wealth they au working so hard for. He says they are forced to pay 800 ton as general rule for freight shipped from Seattle to d point 1900 miles up the Yukon where they take it by dog team over land.
 Mr., Crane looks for much greater activity in the Chandler district, as S25 1000 has been taken from one creek alone, and good pay has been struck on three claims adjoining this proper ". Mr. Crane says that prospectors ia the Yukon country are complaining against the governments failure to properly mark the trails and he says his experience of losing both feet as the result of lack of markings is but one of the similar experiences of pio- aeers' there.
 If the government has spent the money is says it has on trails it has not given results, and appropriations to carry on this work, which means life or death to men on the trails. should be forthcoming.
 The government railroad, on which Mir. Crane, was employed for five years, is being built without any squandering of public money, said Crane, who stated the engineering ob- stacles were not appreciated by people m the states, where railroads do not as rule have to do so much blasting and make such heavy fills as the Al aska Engineering Commission en- countered.
 We are thankful that the govern ment is building the railroad, but to give the Far North the full benefits of steel rail construction should not stop until the railroad has been extended to the Ynkon river, so that it can touch that section without the combination of overland and water haul" said Mir Crane.

Several dog teams were out yester- day on the main street. The, tinkle of bells, the occasional sounds of battle as the dogs mixed for a free-for-all, and the laughter and shouts of those who were enjoying a ride could De heard through out the day. Winter is here and the sledding is fine:

At the hearings of the Alaska ad- visory committee here, the steamship companies submitted data showing that the Alaska business is seasonal, with one rush in the spring and an- other in the fall and a period of ac- tivity in the summer months. This makes it necessary for the steamship companies to earn more revenue in the spring and fall rushes and in the sum- mer period than would be the case if there was enough business to keep the fleets in operation in the winter time. Both steamship companies last week cut their northern passenger service for the winter period.

The person who writes anonymus etters or communications, relative to any person or persons is coward and the worst specimen of the human ani- nal which exists. The poor fool is ei- .hcr ashamed of his name or enviuos of the person about whom he writes. He is more dangerous to a community chan an epedemic of Spall pof. Ma ,urally he is feeble minded and hsuai- ly one of the kind who would steal and lie. He may be ignorant and feeble minded but it is safe to bet that he is selfish and fears that some of his par ticular pet grafts afe in danger of re- ceiving too much publicity, from the one to whom he writes.
