ASSOCIATED 0IL- INTERESTS PLAN
 ID DRILL SOON
Put Rig in at Cold Bay and Another Probably at Yaka-
 taka This Summer.

That the Associated Oil Company, one of the big Western interests, VIII have at least one and probably two drill rigs in Alaska oil districts this summer, is the information brought back from Washington by George A. Parks. That company, he said, expects to start drilling on the Alaska Peninsula early in the coming season and it is probable will also put in rig at Yakataga Beach.
 Relative to prospects for drilling this summer by other companies, MT. Parks said that it was doubtful. Few conflicts have been settled and capi- tal will be wary of venturing into the fields until all matters pertaining to title have been cleared up.
 Five applications were filed tc- day in the local T. s Land Office for oil leasing and prospecting per mits. Four ara for claims in the Cold Bay region and one at Chignik Bay Those filing are: Benjamin F. J. Smith, Edward II. Fern i'd, Day ton w. Stoddard and Herman T. Tripp. each for 2,560 acres in the Cold Bay district; Lawrence II. Def ferding, 2,5G0 acres at Chignik Bay.

This can be done by devoting a small amount of time each day to the concentrated obser- yation of flowers, trees, birds, clouds. snow and other beautiful offerings of nature. Mother Nature herself will outline the yearly program to be fol- lowed.
 During the winter months, when much. time is spent indoors. the hours may be improved by telling stories of animals, birds, ants and bees. and showing pictures of these useful friends.
