tinued with the party aboard the
Mojave to accompany it to the Pribi-
loft Islands, Anadyr, Nome, and back
to the Pribiloffs, where he expected
to get a ship for Seward.
Changes in the plans of the party
later necessitated an alteration of
these arrangements and Colonel
Steese finally left the Mojave at
Petropavlovsk, where he had been
informed he would be able to get a
ship, operated by Seattle trading
concern, and reach Seattle by Sep
tember l. Shortly after the Mojave
departed, a Hudson Bay vessel
brought word to Petropavlovsk that
the expected ship was icebound in
the Okhotsk Sea and after 10 days
delay, Colonel Steese secured pas
sage on a japanese vessel under
British charter for Hakodate and
returned to Seattle from there.
He expects to remain in Commits
sion headquarters here for several
weeks. He will go to Washington
later in the year to present the AL

Ketchikan Aviator on
Way Here Not Heard
From Since Yesterday

Roy |. Jones, kctchikan avia-
tor, who left Petersburg shortly
after 4 p. m. yesterday in the
seaplane North Bird, en- route
here, had not been heard from
anywhere late this afternoon.
He passed the Princess Alice
about 4:30 p. m. yesterday just
north of the Narrows and was
apparently making good time.
No uneasiness was felt today
over his nonappearance as it
was known that he had planned
to stop at Cape Fanshaw after
leaving Petersburg and fogs
prevailing along the coast are
believed to have held him there
today. The Princess Alice en-
countered heavy fog banks last
evening and at the time the sea-
plane passed the ship a fog was
gathering, but was still high in
the air.
Jones is en- route here to aid
in the entertainment of visitors
to the Southea stcrn Alaska
Country Fair which opens to-
morrow. Manager Ed. NJ. Kane.
of the Fair Committee, said to-
day the aviator would probably
arrive late today or tomorrow
morning.

OUTFITS BEING
MOVED TO DOME
FROM KANATAK
Drills Move Forward on Heels
of Road Construction
Crews, Says Roden.

Approximately eight miles of road
have been constructed out of Kama
taxi, leadag to the Pearl Creek oil
Bay Oil field, according to Henry
Roden. prominent local attorney who
returned to his home here last
Monday after several weeks ab'ence
in that and other sections of Western
Alaska. The work of landing the oil
drilling outfits of the STANDARD Oil
and Associated Oil companies on
the ground is progressing satisfac-
torily, he said.
All of the material. equipment and
supplies of both companies has bAen
landed from steamers at kandtak,
the Rodondo completing its dis
charge about the middle Of the
month Movement of these snpr'ies
into the fields has already started
said Mr.. Roden. The traffic Is IL
lowing at the heels of the road con-
struct.on crews and when the rad
IS completed to Pearl Creek, where
the first wells will be sunk, the out
fits will have moved right one the
ground.
Begin Drilling Soon
The crews expected to be :eeiy
to begin drilling by November IL,
said Mr.. Roden. He added that some
delays, owing to possible inciS,n' mt
weather and other obstacles, might
upset this schedule. but s.ort
should be made on the wells By rot
later than December Is. Tn.re
seems to be little doubt on the part
of the Oil men that oil in CONNER
cially paying quantities will be struck
in the field.
Between $50 and 200 men ar. row
at Kanatak and small num- er CT
people from Anchorage and other
towns in that region is moving to-
ward the field. At the present tine,
however, he said, there is no .Edica-
ton of general stampede to Cid
Bay, nor any excuse for one. Should
the drilling operations prove success
full a big rush is sure to take place
and is is expected that tox1 Of
several thousand people will spring
up at Kanltak, where there il "
ideal townsite. Harbor facl tiles
there, he said are poor.
Conditions Are Quiet
Business conditions at Anchorage,
Seward and other towns to the West
ward, he said, are quiet. Little NV
activity was noticeable. The pr J.
pective development at Cold Bay and
possibly elsewhere on the Alasta
Peninsula is the center of attrac-
ton and all eyes are turned in nat
direction
The fishing season in Cook Inlet.
according to Mr. Roden, was poor
Fish were apparently plentiful, but
.lhe weather was too stormy for
boats to operate successfully, except
at the upper end of the Inlet. The
season for Gamers in other sec .ons
to the West ward, however, was APP
parently prosperous.
Little Political Interest
Little interest is being shown
anywhere in the coming November
election, he said People everywhere
he visited were apparently indiffer-
ent to politics. 1t is generally he
