 Considerably road work has been accomplished in the Westward dis trict this past fall and wnter.

There has been only six and eight inches of snow in Seward and Anchorage and little cold weather. In the Cache Creek district the snowfall has been five feet, but the weather has been mild
 Seward is better at the present time than it has been in years, MT Eide asserts. The people are look. ing toward a bright future and art in optimistic mood.
 MT. Eide said he understands tho Standard Oil Company is to put in g station at Seward in the near future by which means the fishermen at tht Westward, will be attracted to tho town. There is much optimism among the people in the entir, Westward district, for the success o the oil fields.

 At least two other companies will install drills and begin active oil drilling at Mirror Slough early this spring, he said. If the two big com panies operating in the Cold Bay dis trict bring in commercial wells. it is expected that katalla will attract more attention from outside capital than it has received heretofore.

 The placer mines drawing their supplies through Cordova are contin- uing to develop. The beginning of construction of the big bridge across the Nizina River by the Alaska Road Commission is encouraging holders of ground in that district and many expect to get their supplies across the bridge next winter.

Mcdonald They brought their skins in last December Every island in the Gnu zach Forest that is suitable for the growing of foxes is now under lease Many applications are received by every mail and telegraphic appli- cations have been made by persons In the States. Fox farming in All aska is attracting wide attention, he added The Prince William Sound farmers have a wide-awake organ ization. They are now holding a special meeting in Valdez for the purpose of discussing ways and means of coping with the poaching problem. which is considered as be- ing potentially serious. While no poaching has been reported in the district this winter, it was prevalent to a considerab ble degree last year and efforts are being made to pre- vent it's repetition. There are 29
