Spirits of Aleuts in
Volcanoes, Say Natives

Anchorage, Alaska.-Some natives
of Alaska profess to believe that the
angry spirits of the Aleuts massacred
at the behest of the early Russian dis
coyerers and traders under SheHkoff,
Baranoff and Chirfkoff, are lurking in
the volcanoes of the Valley Of Ten
Thousand Smokes. b
Beneath the thin crust of the earth
covering the lower Alaskan peninsula
and the Aleutian archipelago. these
spirits, the natives assert. are holding
nightly reyels and emerging periodical
" to hurl fire, smoke and thunder at
the heads of the invaders.
The fanciful recital of the natives is
that on Chirikoff island, long famed as
haunted, a half hundred natives were
lured into a log compound, set upon
by savage enemies under direction Of
the Russians, murdered and despoiled
OF priceless sea otter skins. Their
spirits are appearing again In protest.
The eruption of three volcanoes in
January is. they say. a revisitation of
these spirits. and will continue until
they are avenged

Your gasoline costs
less today

TsHE Standard Oil CompanyN j ANNOUNCES "a educ-
IL ton of one cent per gallon in the tank wagon price
of gasoline, effective on April 20th.
This lower price has been made possible by a remark
able increase in the production of crude oil in California
- amounting at this writing to more than 100000
barrels every "a hours. This has created a surplus above
market requirements on the Pacific coast, with a con-
sequent drop in price.
Owning a large feet of tankers, We have been able to
move California oil through the Canal 1890 miles to
our refineries on the Atlantic seaboard, and so take
advantage of the opportunity to buy cheaper crude. A
refinery located on deep water can avail itself of crude oil
delivered either by tank steamship or pipe line.
This reduction is in line with our consistent policy that
the consumer should benefit from economies. brought
about by lower costs of our raw material or in the
expenses of refining, transporting and marketing
products.

THEM NAUGHTY PRESS

"There have been considerable
newspaper reports to the effect that
the work of the legislature respect
ing tax measures has been hampered
and held up due to factionalism,"
writes assemblyman c. Z. Hanson In
his weekly ads in the county press. "a
great deal of this is merely newspa-
per talk" SEE he.
Even as the sponsor of one of the
several tax measures side-tracked
for the Governors proposal of last
Wednesday, it is perhaps too much
to expect assemblyman Hanson to see
that "there have been considerable"
more truth in the newspaper reports
than there is been from them politi-
