DRILLING AT . KANATAK WILL
 START MARCH

The town of Kanatak is composed of B business places and number of small dwelling cabins and houses, with between 250 and 300 in the dis trict.i Two eating places cater to the public needs as does a hotel and bunk house. Meals are priced at $1.25 each, hunks and beds commanding the same figure.
 The oil fields are located about 20 miles from the town proper and all the men that are needed are at work, the remainder of the population being idle with nothing in sight.
 Conditions are such that drilling op- erations will not start until about March 1st next year. Road construc- tioh is one of the hardest propositions with which the companies have to contend; corduroy work being neces- sary in order to have good iounda- tion and timber is exceedinly scarce.
 Nearly all locations in the east and west fields are taken up, the extent of the former being about ten miles by fifty, that of the west field being nearly thirty miles square.
 During the past month in the oil town bad weather was the rule, gales of wind and rain being the daily pro- gram Kanatak can boast of being the windiest town in all Alaska.
 The prospects of busy town being established are very good at the pres ent time.
 The main drawback to rapid devel- opment of Kanatak is the present land ing facilities-it being necessary to lighter freight in from distance of about mile; lighterage charges being ten dollars ton for freight and ten dollars per thousand feet for lumber In addition to the lighterage charges five dollars more must be paid to have the material or goods hauled up from the beach line on the town, distance of not to exceed one-quarter of mile. The total cost per ton or thousand feet of lumber comes to $29.50 from Sew ard to the oil town Passengers are charged three dollars for ferry service, boat to shore.
 In the opinion of experienced oil men now at, Kanatak the town has a good future. One who has been ac- lively engaged in the development of six oil fields, stated that the region looked as promising as any he had been in. Developments will deter mine the future of Kanatak and until that time it is advisable for working men to remain away unless they are assured employment. ,H

LARGE POPULATION FOR
 TURNAGAiN ARM TOWN

Recent arrivals from the Turna- gai. Arm section report that the towns of Hope and Sunrise will this winter have larger population than for some years past. It is estimated that at Sunrise there will be over forty persons spending the winter season at that place. This condition is brought about by the large num- Der of men who will be engaged in tie cutting contracts, over 100000 of the needed timbers being required by the railroad 1t is stated that for many previous winters the aver age number of people at Sunrise would not exceed ten.

EAST MEETS WEST
Game at San Diego First of
POst-Season Conflicts.
Indicated West Virginians
VIII Play GOnzaga Z.

San Diego, Cal, Dec. 25.-FootbaH
enthusiasts of southern California
were today wildly excited over the
west versus east football game to be
played in the stadium here this af-
ternoon between the undefeated Uni
versity of West Virginia and the Con
zaga university of Spokane, Wash,
marking the opening of the casts in
vasion of the west for post season con-
flicts.
The 10000 bowl is expected to be
well filled. The weather is clear and
warm.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs had their
final workout on the Coronado Polo
grounds yesterday, going thru fast
signal practice, punting and passing.
Last week they ran signals on the
beach, garbed in bathing suits. The
entire team is in the pink of condi-
ton, and to man, are confident of
winning.
The West Virginia squad has been
running signals every time their train
stopped for ten minutes or more along
its transcontinental route thru New
Mexico and Arizona They detrained
at Los Angeles Saturday for their first
real workout since leaving their APP
palachian college, arriving at San
Diego Saturday night.
The fasteners looked over the sta
dunn Sunday and ran thru light signal
and passing practice.
The GOnZaga outfit is but little
known compared to the famous east
erny team, but they made an enviable
record this fall in the northwest, pill
ing up 202 points to 5S for their op-
ponentS. Their most notable showing
was against the University of Idaho,
which they defeated, IA to z.
Betting here today was s to 5 in
favor of the easterners, on the basis
of the undefeated record of the Vir-
ginianS and the cOmDa ratiVe inexDeri-
ence of the Washingtonians, but Of

ton. is described as the most powerful
pill-pounder the Western circuit has
turned out in a quarter of century
In 1921 East made them all sit VI
and take notice by being the first
Western league man to go above the
400 mark in total bases, running Ut
a record of 41S by deiIvering 152 s-n-
gles. So doubles, S three baggers. and
&c home runs
It was predicted then that this
mark would never be reached again
in the Western. but East came back
with fifteen more bases to his credit
in 1922, the total being 4SS.
A worlds golf champion seems to
be in a better situation than a gov
ernor. Gene Sarazeu, worlds title
holder as a wielder of the clubs, has

To see ourselves as others see us
1t is SAID that a peculiar bug on the
coat sleeve of a friend caused Burns,
poem from which the above extract IS
taken.
Now along comes Jim Rice, rowing
coach at Columbia university, and has
found a modern way for us to see
ourselves. His invention applies to
men practicing on the rowing ma
chimes in the Columbia gymnasium.
1t is a large looking glass placed just
opposite the men at the machines. He
declares that it does more to correct
bad form in tha aspiring young rowers
than anything else he has ever found.
This is right in line with slow NOV

show athletes in action. Coaches
chances for bringing their faults home
to the men.
We have mentioned a number of
times that Topeka has too few basket
ball courts. We say it again. There
is a growing need here for a gym
nasium that will meet the demands of
the city. Topeka has taken an un-
big jump in basketball. Teams
have been and are being formed all
over the city, in churches, schools and
industrial plants.
st. Joseph had the same problem,
but it was solved Iby n. S. Hillyard,
in that city. He has
erected a gymnasium in st. Joseph
that cost $4,000, and is, one \of the
most modern and best equipped for
basketball in the country.
Mr.. Hillyard's son was a member
or the y A. l. =. during the late war,
and while in camp contracted the
''flu'' and died. His son was a basket
ball man of considerable promise. it is
said, and since that time Mr.. HilIyard
has taken an unusual interest in the
game.
He had three teams in the field last
year and had a team in the A. A. u.
meet in Kansas City. He expects to
have a team this season which will
rank up near the top, and will make 4
all the others step. it is reported from
st. Joseph.
