Fairbanks, Dawson, Iditarod, Ru by., Flat, in fact every camp in Alaska in the olden days, are here now assisting in the work of creating a new camp on the inhospitable shores of Portage Bay.
 Billy Bowker, an old-timer, was operated on for appendici- tis by the phy for the oil companies, and is ready for the street, fully recovered and in as good physical condition as ever.
 Aside from the small boats now plying between here and Seward, Anchorage and Kodiak, the s. s. Star is the regular mail boat. calling in here With mail and provisions once each month. She leaves Seward on the tenth of each month, arriy- ing here on the 18th, On her last two trips every available inch of cargo space and passeng CT accommodations were taken.
 The Atlas, which is due to- morrow morning, is bringing about 10000 feet of lumber for the stampeders, all of whom are crying for lumber and build ing material, Lumber is now the shortest thing in camp, along with all other building material.

Interestong News From The Cold Bay District
 Anchorage Times]

Kanatak, Sept. l. Send tho Times to Kanatak. The people are hungry for news," is the way John E. Coffey, special cor respondent, prefaces his first news letter to The Times from the new oil town and Cold Bay district. Mr. Coffey is now located at Kanatak, where he has established a law office. He will send The Times news items of the camp whenever possible.
 In his first letter MT. Coffey says: Stampeding to what is to be the greatest oil camp in Alaska by means of gas boats, dories, skiffs and steamships is now on in active style, Every boat coming to the shores of the town is loaded with stamped CTS with their outfits. Small boats are coming from Kodiak with a normal carrying capacity of 300 tons, but which arc load ed With one to four tons, with the stampeders clinging to the masts and the pilot houses,
 The latest boat to arrive was the Grizzly, Capt. Dan Platter son. It brought approximately 10000 feet of lumber, in addit- ion to personal effects of ten passengers besides the crew.

 The boat was no sooner an- chored than the passengers, most of whom are frem Anchor age, clambered ashore in dor ies and immediately started the pleasing task of stalking lots & business sites. At the present writing there are a few lots re- maining in what is supposed to be the business part of the new town. but a number of good res idential lots remain open back from the beach and beyond the center of the town.
 The old town of Kanatak was located some three years ago & is now separated from what is called the new town by a creek about the size of Ship ok.
 The present population of Kan atak, including the old and the new town, is approximately 300 and growing every day, or when ever a boat lands.
 A number of people are in Ko- diak and Seward awaiting trans portation. The first stampeders who arrived here aboard the gas boat Atlas in command of Capt. Pete Wold erected tents to house themselves and their belongings. But after experienc. ing one good "woolie'', which is the local name for the terrific winds that blow here, all who were left with enough energy 6 optimism immediately commenc ed to either dig in war time style or to erect frame build ings.

 The road work under the su. pervision of MT. Vance is. pro. gressing satisfactory.
 The work now consists of rock cuts which is being blast. ed, The crew is working about four miles from town on the summit. The road is expected to be completed in about four weeks, which will then permit both oil companies to commence the work of drilling,
