 HOW WHITE DISCOVERED OIL
 It was over twenty years ago that Thomas White, hardy pioneer, pros. pecfor and hunter, was pursuing a wounded bear across meadow at the head of Katalla slough, when he stumbled upon black pool that was unlike anything he had ever seen be- fore. He had heard the Indians tell of these miniature lakes of pitchy substance, and he had guessed they were. from oil outcroppings. ' To test his theory on his discovery, White applied a match to the dried surface, but it would not ignite. How ever, he took some of the black stuff home to his cabin and found it was excellent for burning in stove. He returned to the spot the following season and found bubbling spring of greenish-black liquid. This time he was more successful in applying the match, and the sheet of flames that arose about him came near ig- hitting his clothing
 Glad to escape he ran to his canoe, and watched the flames spread over the meadow as pool after pool of the dried petroleum took fire.
 That field burned for a week. , said White, relating the experience q was feafful that the flames would spread to the forests around, but they were wet from heavy rains, and the flames finally burned themselves gut"
 STAKES FIRST OIL CLAIM
 As soon as he could White staked the meadow as the first oil claim ever located in Alaska When a small stampede followed, and the choice To. cations about Controller bay and to the westward were taken up.

STATE ROADS BILL
COMES UP TODAY
General Belief Among Members That
Legislature Should Designate Roads
to Be Built First.
fRv holm C. TRICEN

TALLAHASSEE, May 22.--The Hale
bill which designates state roads Nos. 1
to as the roads the state road depart
ment is to get busy with and build, will
be special order in the house Monday
and since the legislature is beginning to
appreciate that the end of the session is
close at hand is likely to be passed on.
There seems to be a general belief that
the legislature should designate certain
roads for the road board to build first,
instad of leaving them as they were two
wears ago, more or less at the mercy of
politicians from the counties. Senator
Johnson advanced this idea in speech
before the county commissioners early
in the session and Hale's bill presents
It. The first seven roads are mentioned
and it is further provided that the money
should be spent in the four congressional
districts in proportion to their share OF
tbe assessed. valuation. This gives about
the following percentages First, 27.6;
second. 1875; third, 1873; fourth 42.9.
Hale will offer an amendment to the
bin Monday providing that the state con-
yicts shall be divided in the same pro-
portion.
He has also been looking over the map
ri roads laid out and projected and viii
offer amendments to build no less than
three cross state roads. there being prac-
tically none at present south OF the

General Dawes is now at work on a
budget for the national government.
He thought there is no man better
qualified for the work, but that after
the infinite detail is finished and
comprehensive figures obtained that
will give a perfect understanding of
the purpose of taxes, and our sena-
tors and congressman have agreed
that they are adequate and fair and
would effect economy, somebody in
congress suddenly will realize that
some part of the budget will delete
from the payroll n or more of his
constituents and a mad rush is likely
to be started which will run over
Dawes and wreck his budget"
Mr.. Stephenson stated that the con-
vention was probably the most sue
cessful ever held by the association,
and undoubtedly the best attended.
Entertainment of a high order was
furnished all of the delegates and
their wives.
Every banker who attended the
convention felt better after being
there said oliver w. Belden, presi-
dent of the Bank of Fergus County,
Lewistown. "After we had all put
our feet under the same table and
exchanged our tales of trouble, most
everyone recognized a general tone
of optimism and everyone was glad
he was there"

BANKERS HONOR
Sam STEPHENSON
GREAT FALLS MAN ELECTED
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE
STATE ASSOCIATION
Ex-Governor Lowden of Illinois Tells
Montana Financiers that He Fears
Congress May Wreck Budget for
Government Expense That Is Being
Prepared.

The address of former Governor
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois to the
Montana State Bankers convention
at Helena last week was an able por-
trayal of vital problems now before
the country for solution, it was
stated by President Sam Stephenson
of the First National bank of Great
Falls, who was elected vice president
of the association and is in line for
the presidency next year. Mr.. Low
den's discussion of difficulties grow
ing out of taxes was of especial in
terest to the bankers.
Senator w. A. Clark, the oldest
living Montana banker, was honored
by election to the presidency. He
was unable to be present, but sent a
message of appreciation.
Governor Lowden reminded u.s."
said Mr.. Stephenson, "that it is a
common fallacy that the average citi-
zen need not worry over increasing
taxes, because the bulk of it is col
lected from the big corporations. He
declared that in the end the average
citizen does pay for it, because, and
properly so, corporation taxes are
charged against overhead expense,
and this is passed on to the consum-
er.
"Mr. Lowden recounted some of
the things that are now consuming a
portion of the taxes collected. On
a recent visit to Washington, be no.
ticed some ugly frame buildings,
erected during war time.
con inquiry he was told that the
temporary buildings erected to
house the temporary war employees
were still needed to house those
same temporary employees. Mr.. Low
den believes that at the present rate
OF rehabilitation, these employees
will succumb to old age before they
are removed from the government
payroll. The speaker said thai we
are the most efficient people in the
world in time of war, and the most
commonplace in time of peace.
"The speaker went on to say that
