BROS. & NERLAND
 SELL OUT TO N. C. COMPANY

Tie biggest and most important business deal in the history of Ne mana was consumated this afternoon when the Northern Commercial Com pany of Alaska concluded the pur- chase of the business and property of the firm of Anderson Bros. & Nerland, on A street, and an adjoin- ing lot from Mike Goonen. The deal means that the firm of Anderson Bros. & Nerland will retire from business in Nenana and that the N. c. Co. will occupy the acquired property, abandoning their present location on Market street.
 The Anderson Bros. & Nerland store will be closed immediately and inventory taken of the stock. In the spring the N. C. building will be moved from it's present location to the A stree. corner, which is con- ceded to be one Of the best busi- ness locations in Nenana. The build ing now occupied by Anderson Bros. & Nerland will be moved on to the Goonen lot, adjoining the North Star restaurant, so that all three of the lots will be occupied by the big company.
 The change, in addition to being advantageous from a business view point, will greatly improve the ap- pearance of the main business sec tion Of town. And incidentally, the action of the company indicates that it has confidence in the future of Nenana.

LATE VISITOR DESCRIBES
 CONDITIONS IN OIL FIELDS

NO4Nbl IOIN9 IN AlI< lELDS Ed Lawson, who returned to Sew recently from a trip to the Cold Bay district, says that at present there are a number of idle men there, working conditions not demanding their services. At present there are between 250 and 300 men in the district
 The town of Kanatak is composed of 23 business places and a number of small dwelling cabins and houses. Two eating places cator to the pub lie needs as does a hotel and bunk house. Meals are priced at SIPS 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 al work, the remainder of the popu- lation being idle with nothing in sight.
 Conditions are such that drilling operations will not start until a. bout March Is: next year. Road con- struction is one of the hardest propositions with which the com panies have to contend; corduroy work being necessary in order to have a good foundation and timber is exceedingly 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 Mr. Lawson's stay in the oil town bad weather was the rule, gales of wind and rain being the daily program. kanatak can boast of being the windiest town in all Alaska. even the severest winds in Seward being a summer breeze in comparison.
 The prospects of busy town be- ing established are very good at the present time for working man to locate there.
 The main drawback to rapid dew elopment of Kanatak is the pre- sent landing facilities-it being nee essary to lighter freight in from a a distance of about mile; light craze charges being ten dollars a ton for freight and ten dollars per thousand feet for lumber. In addi- ton to the hghterage charges five dollars more must be paid to have the material or goods hauled up from the beach line to the town, a distance of not to exceed one quarter of a mile. The total cost per ton or thousand feet of lum- Der comes to S29.50 from Seward to the oil town. Passengers are charged three dollars for ferry service, boat to shore. ::
 On account of the storms pre- vailing the steamer Starr was com pelled to bring about ten tons back to Seward not being able to land it on the beach.
 In the Opion of experienced oil men now at Kanatak the town has a good future. One who has been actively engaged in the development of six oil fields, stated that the re- zion looked as promising as any he had been in. Developments will de- termine the future of Kanatak and until that time ii is advisable foi working men to remain away unless they are assured employment.

PULLING PIPE
AT MOUNTAINS:
TO MOVE RIG
Company Plans Additional De-
velopment in Southern
Part Of Field.

The Montana S~weetgrass Oil & Gas
company virtually has completed pull
ing it's casing on the well drilled east
Of the Ohio-Berg well in section 1872
NV and will move its rig to the NWA
NWA section 20-35-2W, according to
II. b. Wales, who returned to Great
Falls Friday from Shelby.
The company also plans additional
development in the southern part OF
the field, despite the failure Of the
first well, he announced. The develop
ment in the southern part of the field
promises to be extensive, he said, and
the probabilities for prospecting OF
this area are good.
Shooting of the California-Smoke
we'll in section 23-3J-2W has materi-
ally increased the production in esti-
mates made in Shelby, Wales said, al
though no definite test has been made
Operations are being conducted IN
the field under difficulties, he report
ed, due to the cold weather and the
need for transporting water by truck
in many cases.
The cold, however. has not deferred
lease men in hurrying into the terri
tory made promising by the Genou
well. Wales said. He returned by this
route and said that leasing from farm
ers is active throughout the southern
area and despite the distance from
the Mortified well. Leases are being
taken as far distant as Brady through
out this area.

Visit.

The test of the Mortified Oil COM
panv we'll on the Genou field, 80 miles
north of Great Falls, was made i'm
possible on the visit of the officials
Of the company Friday due to the fact
that the cold weather bad resulted in
the freezing up Of the rig and some
time will be required to repair it, ac-
cording to T. f. McCue. who returned
to Great Falls Friday night.
The engine on the rig was found
broken and a welder was sent from
the city to mend it. This will requore
a short time and other arrangements
must be made to place the rig in shape
for any work, he said. This will prob
ably mean. he reported. that the well
cannot be bailed until the first of next
week.
The eastern men interested in the
company were present at the we'll Fri
day and were we'll satisfied with the
developments, Mr.. McCue said. He
said that the plan of the company
is to make a bailing test of the well
as soon as the rig is repaired and this
will determine the future action of the
company, whether to drill it in or to
leave it as it stands and to make q
deep test with future wells.
He said that the oil in the well now
stands within q few feet of the top
Of the casing, having showed some
rise since the company officials had
last been at the well.

concrete examples, showing the ques-
tionnaires used by national advertise
ing agencies in planning state cam
paigns. The form used in determin-
ing plans for Montana was explained
to the club members. 1t is one such
firm foundation of known facts that
the successful campaigns is built, he
said, and showed how such analysis
of needs Of a territory and character
of it's population led to determining
the right approach in advertising.
DR.. E. NJ. Larson of the Civitan
club spoke on the sale of tuberculosis
that club and asked the support of the
Ad club members. He pointed out
that the state stood first in 1921 with
the lowest death rate for each 1O0,-
coo of population. During the last
year, the state has also been first in
having the fewest deaths from tuber-
culosis in proportion to population.
During the last five years, the state
has received more in money spent
here than it contributed in the sale of
Christmas seals, the only revenue of
the Montana tuberculosis association.
The club voted to support the
Christmas seal sale.
Following the suggestion OF Leon h.
Clark, physical director of the 7. NJ,
G. A., that a league of the luncheon
clubs Of the city be formed, the AID
club issued Il challenge to the Civitan
