AT ITS OLD TRICKS.

Gotwals returned to Juneau and in an interview with The Empire rather noted for its desire to injure Seattle. gives Seattle the following undeseryed drubbing:
 On my trip to Seattle I noticed par tcularly much publicity proclaiming tEe fact that Seattle, by it's strategic position con trolled Alaska trade but l failed to see any thing that said that Seattle owed it not only 10 Alaska but to herself to devote its time and money to aiding in Alaska's fight for development. It is true that the city dis plays an interest in the Territory but ii is such an interest would be shown in the Red Cross, European relief or other such movements. It apparently does not appre- ciate the fact that whatever adds to Alaskan prosperity must necessarily be reflected in Seattles prosperity"
 Seattle banks and wholesalers are clos ing the 1920 with thousands of dollars due from Alaska accounts. It is estimated that seattle banks alone are holding $S. .OO0. 900 of Alaska cannery paper Seattle has whole some regard for Alaska She considers Alaska her greatest commercial asset and there was tine Seattle would moi rally to the support of Alaska when she knew what Alaska really wanted the expressed opinion of the new comer' notwithstand fng.-(Seautle Dispatch

 The statement that The Empire is rather not, for its desire to injure Seattle" is untrue and W can think of no other reason for it's publication tEe Dispatch than the fact that The Empire h; criticised some ex-Alaskan politicians and ex-Aaska promoters trying to run Alaska from Seattle curl always sseeHsd to regard these criticisms as appyin

ALASKA BOY ATTENDS
 HILL MILITARY SCHOOL.

PORTLAND, April 18.-Merwin An derson of Fairbanks, Alaska, is one
 of the latest arrivals at Hill Military academy, in this city. After the free life of the out of doors, Anderson found it a bit difficult to get down to study and drill at first, especially as it rained when he first got to Portland, but when the spring sun shine came out Anderson thought Portland about as fine a place as he
 ever saw. He was on the committee for the big formal ball given by the academy on April 9. The cadets are planning a trip to Fort Stevens at the
 mouth of the Columbia river. To some of the boys from Montana and Idaho this will be an especial treat, as many of them never have seen the ocean.
 Several boys from Alaska have attended Hill academy but the lad from Fairbanks is from the farthest distant point. He has made quite a friend of Wilton Goodrich from Fresno, Calif., (which is a very warm town) climatically speaking, and the two boys compare notes on the fine
 points regarding their home towns,

COAST MONEY

 MAIL SERVICE
Seattle Interests Will Furnish Adequate Passenger, Freight and Mail Service From Sew ard to Westward

SEATTLE, April 18.-(Special to Daily Times) ).-Seattle interests are willing and able to provide adequate passenger, freight and mail service from Seward to western Alaska and Alaska peninsula points, there being no necessity to call on the govern. ment to provide a vessel, according to information submitted to J, L, Mo Pherson, assistant to the president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. The chamber for three years has tried repeatedly to bring about the ! ablishment of such service. The interests which conferred with Mr. McPherson announced they are in position to place 400-ton steamship on the route and maintain a schedule of one round a month during the winter and two round voyages a month during the rest of the year.
 Ever since the. steamship Dora was withdrawn about three years ago." said Mir. McPherson, "the west ward service from Seward has been outrageously inadequate. The mail should be handled by vessel able to meet the passenger and freight traf- fic requirements of the country. The chamber has labored hard for the last three years to have the condition remedied. The house committee on territories will begin Investigating the matter in a few weeks. It has full data bearing on the problem.

OIL ACTIVITY FROM JUNEAU
 TO COLD BAY
Merchants Preparing for Rush of Prospectors, and Many Service Men Turn to Alaska as Land of Opportunity

SEATTLE, April 1S.-(Special to Daily Times) Since the memorable oil land leasing bill was passed by congress and approved by former President Wilson on March II, 1920, more than 100000 acres of land have been staked in southwest Alaska for oil prospecting. Anchorage mer- chants anticipating rush of oil prospectors, have been placing heavy orders for tents with Seattle firms, and Frank Redwood of Anchorage, pioneer miner and hotel operator of the north, now is in the city complet- ing purchase of materials for a $60,- 900 hotel at Anchorage.
 We are satisfied that at last the tide has turned, and that interior Alaska is steadily going to build up" said Martin A. Pinska, pioneer mer- chant of Fairbanks who arrived from the north on the Admiral Watson. Our young men who went to war are returning, while many whom they met in the service are interested in the north and expect to try their luck in the territory" Pinska thinks the future of the interior depends on agriculture, and says that it has been demonstrated beyond doubt that in a short time they will be able to feed all of Alaska with both grain and meat. The new flour mill at Fairbanks is a pronounced success, he says, and has been the means of attractong numerous homesteaders to the district
 The Cook inlet section is entering into the most prosperous year of it's history, according to Ted Bedell, pub fisher of the Anchorage Daily Times, who was in Seattle last week. The construction work on the government railroad, with renewed mining activity ill the Broad pass and Willow creek districts, is largely responsible for prosperous conditions, according to Bedeu. There is also a large fishing area tributary to Anchorage during the summer season.
 Activities in the Alaska oil pools extending from Admiralty island on the south to Cold bay on the west will start about June first, according to those most familiar with the situ- atOn It is believed at least a half dozen drills will be in operation by early fall, and if the formation proves true to prediction several Of these drills should be in oil before winter comes. Last week the Thane syndicate signed contract to place standard drill by June 15 on Yaka- taga property. In the Cold bay sec ton the Midwest Company of Wyom- ing has raised a quarter of a mil lion dollars to drill the Finnegan-Hay- den holdings. This company pur- chased a gas-poWered boat at Seattle to be used to transport freight from Kodiak The Maas holdings will be drilled by Los Angeles capital, large sum having been pledged for this purpose, and adjoining the Hubbell in- terests will operate a standard drill. The Thane syndicate announced some weeks ago intention of drilling with a standard rig at Katalla, where the Chilkat Oil Company is producing about 50 barrels of high-grade oil a day. The Chilkat Company has a standard drill at work and recently sent an experienced drilling crew north from California.

the renewal OF warfare IN Ireland was
sverted today By Premier Lloyd George
The premier sent orders from Paris to
release Immediately John NcKeown. a
leader of the Irish republican army and
a member Of Dali Eireann (Sinn Fem
parlianent). when the British an
nounced they would release the impris-
onsd members Of Dali Eireann, McKeOwn
was the only exception. The British au
thorities maintained he should not be
liberated because the serious charge Of
murder had been lodged against him.
The Sim Feiners we're deeply chagTined
when the British made an exception
OF Mackeown because Eamonn De Valera
had been given assurances that his re-
quest for the release Of all imprisoned
members Of the Dali Eireann would be
met by the British government. The
Sim Feiners renewed their demand for
the release OF Nsckeown and the Irish
Office communicated with the premier,
who is now In Paris attending the su-
preme council
TIE premier interviewed and ordered the
temporary release Of Nackeown TO enable
him to attend the meeting OF the Sim
Fein parliament on Aug 10 and 10 take
part IN informal Sim Fem discussions
previous 10 that date.
Some government officials were dis
pleased at the pTemier's action, but
others held that his intervention has
saved the peace negotiations and pre-
vented a collapse Of the truce.
