Avoid Wildcatting.
(DaWSOn News.


 With the prospective boom in oil in the neigh boring territory Yukoners will do well remember the danger of wildcatting in that high explosive.
 While tales of immense wealth realized night are matter of history in nearly every bona de oil region it must be remembered nearly every oil excitement has left in it's wake wreckage of fortune and blasted ambitions of many times the number who have drawn the capital prizes.
 fukonerS have little to go afed this year alter aurng light in other realms. Yukon silver holds out promise to rival any oil field ever struck
 The area and the merit of the Mackenzie oil region is problematical, and the marketing and the pracubiity of opening the richest of deposits in that most remote of all localities continent may in time prove futile.
 Those who hazard fortunes on something chim- erica and see them melt to naught will have naught but themselves to blame in the ultimate result bring them disappointment and chagrin.
 The silver of Yukon is extraordinary The silF claims now staked cannot be made markea ble unless developed A bird in the hand is worth two lh the bush. To rush from certainty to an un- certainty is poor business
 Yukoners will do well this year to develop their own Many a country would be elated over the op- portunltles now offered in the Mayo silver areas and in the Yukon gold districts. Silver and gold will continue in demand as long as precious metals count Tn the worlds economy. Yukon has them in un- mistakabe abundance. To develop them and tc avoid chasing wildcats is the safest course

About lndemnities.

Washington Feb 22-President
Wilson is expected to recommend to
congress before he leaves office that
authority be granted for the United
States to accept Germany's bonds
to be applied against the debt that
Belgium owes America, it was learn
ed today at the state department.
While the United States is not
committed to any agreement, it was
explained that there was an under
standing reached at the Paris peace
conference that such recommends
lions should be made to the legisla-
tive bodies Of England, France and
the United States. 1t was incident to
the claims of Belgium for priority in
reparations and was agreed Ito by the
representatives of the three great
powers as practicable means for
an immediate tightening of Belgium's
financial burdens.
The Premiers of Great Britain and
France have also agreed to recon-
mend that their governments accept
German bonds for a portion of Bel
gums indebtedness to them. Each
of those two governments will re-
ceive about 400,000,O0O in such bonds.
Up Ito the first Of last October,
Belgium has borrowed a total of
s349214467.S9 from the United
States. or this sum, however, only
approximately $175,OOO,OOO had been
advanced.
The acceptance of German bonds
as suggested at this time by the
president is not to cover the full in
debtedness but only the amount ad-
vanced up to the armistice.
President Wilson's recommends
ton. will it was stated, be based up
on an agreement made by him with
TIE British, French and Belgian
premiers during the early part of the
Versailles conference.
It was agreed Belgium should re-
ceive the first benefits of the indem.
nifty. The agreement contained a
clause that President Wilson and
each of the premiers should make
such recommendation to the legis.
