JUDGE MEDLEY PREDICTS
 BRIGHT SUMMER SEASON

With twelve canneries already mak- ing preparations to operate this com ing season, tentative plans for a tour ist hotel at Miles glacier, the copper properties looking bigger and better than ever, and with large building program under way, Attorney Edward F. Medley of Cordova, who is in An chOrage on legal business pertaining to the settlement of the estate of the late Dr. Boyle, states that Cordova this year will witness one of the great est seasons in the revival of business activities
 The canneries which will operate this season, MT. Medley states, are the Pioneer Packing Company, who will pack both fish and clans; the Carlisle Packing Company, the Canoe Pass cannery, the Star floating can nery, the Hoonah Packing Company, the Eyak cannery, the Moore Packing Company, the Strawberry Point Pack ing Company (packing clams), the Copper Gate Packing Company on clans and crabs, the E. A. Haltness clam packers, and the Blue Sea Pack ing Company, clam packers.
 The Kennecott Copper Corporation has made tentative plans for the con- struction of large tourist hotel this summer at the famous Miles glacier, which is situated near the railroad out of Cordova. The production of copper ore from the Mother Lode mine near Kennecott has been increased and much preliminary work is being done in the Green Butte group of mines which are owned by Los Angeles capi- talists.
 The Copper River & Northwestern railway is contemplating the erection of new offices and depot in Cordova The Cordova Mill and Timber Com panv is now in operation, three weeks earlier than in previous years.

FOR CONSIDERATION OF
 PRESENT LEGISLATORS

The editor of this paper has been requested to call the attention of the legislators now in session to the fact that neither the birthdays of Washing ton nor Seward, one the father of the country at large, the other the father of Alaska, are observed by the schools of the Territory, they not having been officially designated as Territorial hol- idays. While the birthday of Abraham Lincoln is not observed by Alaska schools, there are invariably special exercises on that day which serve to honor the memory of the great Ameri- can, statesman and emancipator. There seems to be general sentiment in favor of the observation by the schools of the birthdays of Washing ton and Seward. - Stroller's Weekly, Juneau.

FOR LAST MONTH
 TAKE A DROP

Notwithstanding decline of more than one-half million dollars in the value of furs shipped, exports of Alaska for last month exceeded those of February, 1922, by $12S,3S3, and totaled $1,504,6S9, according to the monthly statement of commerce just issued by John c. Mcbride, Collector of Customs. Heavy shipments of halibut and copper ore were the main factors in the increased value of exports. !:
 | Exports of copper last month to- taled 7,975,434 pounds having a de clared valuation of $1,149,336 as con- pared to ore valued at $525,054 for February last year. Fisheries prod ucts exported last month were valued ! at $175,6S5, an increase of $76,625 over the same month last year. Hali- but shipments totaled 934,412 pounds having a declared valuation of $780, 19O.
 The shrinkage in fur exports cut down the aggregate value of exports. In February, 1922, furs shipped to the States were worth $702,640. Ship ments of the same commodity last month dropped in value to $82,74S. The list of February exports by value, as contained in the Collectors statement, follows:

PRESENT GASOLINE
PRICES NOT TO HOLD
STANDARD HEAD SAYS

New York, Aug. 16 - Present
prices for gasoline can only be tenn
porary, although further cuts may
reasonable be expected If crude oil
prices are again reduced, w. C. Tea
gle, president of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey. declared
today in a formal statement.
THE present disrupted market
he said, resulted from the pressing
for sale of relatively small amount
of distress gasoline. The large
overproduction of crude oil in recent
months, together with the factor Of
the higher naptha content and in
creased refinery efficiency, has re-
suited in piling up abnormally heavy
stocks of gasoline for this season of
the year and forced liquidation by
some holders regardless Of cost"
Mr.. Teagle said the cuts initiated
in South Dakota and afterward made
effective throughout mid-western and
southern states represented the only
change made there in a number of
months, while four successive cuts
had been made in the eastern market,
since February of tni syear, because
of lower costs Of crude Oil available
for seaboard retineries.
At present, he said, an average of
III 900 barrels of California oil
reach eastern seaports daily. South
ern California fieids are expected to
reach their peak production next
month, but he SAID it would be a
long time before shipments from
California would equal The amount or
OIL now available IN those fields.
The maximum shipments possible in
American tankers, which ahe the
only ones allowed in the intercoastal
business, is .Uv,O00 barrels daily.
Except for comparatively small
shipments from Gulf coast ports,
little mid-onctlnent crude oil is now
being received here. This Is used
largely Tor lubricatIng oil purposes.
While Mr.. Teagle admitted that
the present situation was precarl0us
for some OF the small refining com :
panies, he expressed confidence that
The oil industry as a whole would
come out . ~" He declared that
he has experienced two or three
similar periods OF reproduction,
including the Gushing Gushers OIL
1918, ana that the INDUSTRY has sue
ccssfully weathered ali OIL them.

-pervise and the remainder will be

absolutely necessary. although Pres
ident and Mrs. Coolidge have urged
her to remain as long as she may
care to stay. They called on Mrs.
Harding tonight, paying merely
little social call.
Mrs. Harding expects to spend
several days az the country home
here of her close personal friend,
Mrs. Edward B. Mclean wife of the
publisher of the Washington Post.

Wades to Brink
of Niagara; Now
Rejecting in Jail

Niagara Falls, y. Y, Aug. 16.-By
removing his shoes and wading into
Niagara River above the falls at
Prospect Point this afternoon, Will
liam Sullivan, sailor on one of the
boats of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, caused women to scream and
men to run to the rescue. Sullivan
Waded out ten feet from shore and
then down stream until he could
overlook the brink Of the American
Falls. There he halted. He was in
momentaly danger of topping over
and a reservation officer blew his
emergency whistle for help.
Officer William Rhodes coaXed Sui
Ivan to walk back upstream and to-
ward shore. AS he neared the bushes
along the bank Rhodes and another
officer grabbed him by the neck and
shoulders. Sullivan objected and a
sailor pal, Charles Freisch. also in
terposed. Both were arrested. Sulli-
van charged with being drunk and
Freisch with disorderly conduct.
They explained that Sullivan's
stunt was the result of an argument
as to the possibility of a man wad-
ing to the brink of the aflls in low
water. Freisch had the negative side
and Sullivan stepped out to prove
that he was right.

Com. Curran Replies
to Geddes' Attack
on Ellis Island

New York. Aug. 16-Commissioner
Of immigration Henry II. Curran to-
night answered the suggestions of Sir
Auckland Gcddes. British ambassador
for improvement of conditions on Ell
lis Island. by saying that they are
just kicking Uncle Sans dog around
again."
whenever someone wants some
thing to kick at" he said, Ellis Is
land seems to be the target"
He charged that due to propaganda
carried on in Great Britain against
Ellis Island, the majority of English
men seeking admission to the United
States arrive panic-stricken at the
mere thought of going through the
examination, and the so-called hor-
rors. which, according to the British
press, they must face.
In speaking of the charge Of I'M
cleanliness made by the ambassador.
Mr.. Curran said it was absolutely UNI
founded, and that the only dirt in the
station was caused by immigrants
who throw the greater part of their
rubbish on the floor. A staff Of
cleaners spend their entire time fol-
lowing these aliens around to pick up
after them, he said.

this afternoon when the gasoline
tank in a motor launch on Lake
Bomoseen, 16 Miles from this city,
exploded and the craft sank. Eight
others were rescued by cottagers who
put out in boats. The victims were
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Beuhler Of

Stratford Road, Brooklyn, n. Y. Their
bodies have not been recovered. The

and containing ten of the hotels
guests, was in charge of James Coyle
The cause Of the accident is not
known.
Nearly 100 men are engaged to-
night in dragging the lake up to a
late hour none of the bodies has been
recovered.
The rescued guests Joined in the
work. though some of them were suf-
ferinS more or less from shock. While

scratched their injuries were not
serious enough to require medical
treatment.
Thousands Of automobiles from
Rutland, Lake ste. Catherine and
nearby lake resorts completely filed
