cans a square deal and free competition. America has loaned France many millions of gold francs at the present rate of exchange, as M Delaisi- remarks. Were the American government to exact the immediate payment of one fourth only, it would send down the franc to the level of the German mark, even of the Austrian crown, in every exchange in the world.
 Economic necessity resulting from British diplomacy, now is forcing the American in dustrial capitalists to develop every oil field in their home territory. For this effect we should feel duly thankful. Test wells are be- ing drilled in many places, in many States, and several companies in California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Oregon have evinced keen interest lately in the Katalla fields. and other possibilities in Alaska These concerns have the capital, the equipment, technical experts and business experience for oil development upon large scale. They are coming to this district, undoubtedly, for the oil is here, unless all the usual indications are deceptive, and the outside oil men are learning the facts of the present situation.
 Before this year, is ended, the oil seekers probably will be on the ground, and within two years some spectacular development may be in progress With the coming ln of the first gusher Cordova will become bright red spot on the national map and the eyes ot the world will be turned upon Alaska. Ii the oil is here, in the quantity suspected, many fortunes will be made. Some men now poor will become millionaires and many who now have to struggle to make poor living Will acquire an independent fortune. This was the result at Beaumont, Tulsa. Houston and other places. It behooves our homefolk to study the history of oil development in the last twenty five years, including geological and technical data. methods of organizing and financing companies and their proper management,
 The Americans have no intention of pay ing billion dollars a.year to the British oil trust Every known supply under American control is going to be developed and the inn Detus of the movement now favors Alaska.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY

Get dozen eggs, a pumpkin pie, loaf of bread, pound of wieners, a cash register and box of paper napkins and start a chain of res taurants. The public has learned how to make this sort of business profitable You retail egg sand wiches at 20 cents each, giving you a
 profit of $50 per cent. By using a razor you can cut pumpkin pie into twelve pieces and can retail the piece at 20 cents, thus each pie would bring you $40, representing a profit of 1000 per cent, as the orig inal pie cost you 12 cents. You can get $1 out of every loaf of bread by serving two small slices of toast for 10 cents. It is being done every day, and so far as the fare is con- cerned the public simply eats it up.

E'Tf the present curse of h-orade con sumption is maintained, the Americans in ton years will he under tho necessity of i'm porting half billion barrels of oil yearly at go a barrpl-a verv low fignrn.'' declares Sir Edward Mackav Edgar, a British authority, "and that means the annual payment of billion dollars. most if not all. of which will find it's way into British nockets''
 The wish is father 10 the prophecy of the noted British economist He fails to consider the probability that the business genius of America will be concentrated upon the econom- ic necessity of increasing our oil production hv the develonment of new fields. the richest of which is probably in Alaska in the vicinity of Cordova.
 The British now have a great monopoly m oil. outside of America declares M. Francis De1aisi in his new book entitled "Oil-Tts Influence On Po1itics,'' He 7aments the snr- ronder of the oil interests of France to the Anolo-Dutch trust, composed of three great eroups-the Shell, the Royal Dutch and the Anolo-Persan.
 Bv the Treaty of San Remo when French prestige was at low ebb, Lord Curzon eXacted an agreement that all the oil within the French spheres of influence shall be exploited by a private company which "shall be under par manent British control" and in which America can have no part. France agreed to facilitate acquisition of concessions to every Franco British group "of good standing" and furnish ing the necessary guarantees. No loophole of any description was left for American par ticipation.
 'Henceforward," laments M Delaisi, "by this internal pact, in every part of the globe, abroad or at home, in the present and in the future, France is tied to the British trust"
 France may have to pay dearly for entering into such an agreement. Keen business men are in power at Washington. They know what they are doing, and already are determined to get capital for our industries instead of lending further to nations which deny Ameri-

They want results, and for this reason they are going to support James L. Galen, who is reliable and able, and whose word is good.
