HEAVY ICE CRUST FORMED;
 FISHING BOATS LEAVE SOOH

The Juneau mosquito fleet, lying at the city float, presents the ap- 'pcarance Of being frozen in for the winter. The cold weather and the absence of wind today has caused quite a crust of ice to form near the shore of the Channel and the small boats are in the thick of it. Al though appearing thick, the ice is not solid and is easily broken.
 Several fishing boats are still in port not having moved since before Christmas. The crews spent the holi- das in the city and are waiting until favorable tides for fishing occur, which will b9 within a few days. It is thought that within the next three days most of the boats will begin taking on supplies in prepara- tion for leaving for the halibut banks.

This cross is one of the most prizcd honors a service man can receive and is shown by the fact that only 40 have been pre- scnted The honor was granted Er' nest Henderson on November Il, but because the letter bearing the Cross citation was incorrectly ad- dressed. he did not receive it at hi5 home at Los Angeles, Cal, until Dec ember 14.

U. 5. Fearing Exclusion
 From Dutch Oil Fields

THE HAGUE, Jan. 5.-Unlted States Authorities here fear that American intersts will be excluded from the great Djamba oil fields in the Dutch East Indies if a bill in troduced in the Dutch Parliament be adopted. This measure propose to give the concession to these fields Company. The territory to be in cludcd in the copcesGion is described as the most valuable petroleum ground in the Dutch East Indies.
 The field has long been tho scene of commercial rivalry between groups. Americans here say that the only way in which American intersts could obtain representation there would be for the Dutch gov Crnment to permit them to subscribe to the stock of the proposed handle the concession.
 In this holding company, the l Dutch East Indian government and the Batavia Company would, by plo- visions of the bill, be joint stock holders, the government sharing largely in the profits. The govern mont, however, will have majority on the board of directors
 According to the Amsterdam Handelsblad. the preferred shares, giving a right to vote as to the control but not as to the direct 1 management, which will be in the ] hands of the Batavia Company, will i be mostly government control, but, in order to placate foreign, particu- ! larly American interests. certain 1 proportion of what arc known as tho 'B' shares, may be sold to for eigncrs with the consent of the gov crrmcnt.
 ] 4 recent despatch stated that ] the parliament of the Dutch Eas; i Indies had under consideration q
 motion opposing the granting by tho Dutch Government of an cX- elusive concession to the Djamba oil fields without tFc consent Of the colony.
