THE STANDARD OIL TANKS

The Navy department is holding up the erection of Standard oil tanks in this city by refusal to give the com- pany the site desired. Away back in the early days of the government rail- way the department picked certain grounds in Seward to be set apart and reserved for the erection of coal bunkers. Following the explosion of the idea of using Matanuska coal for naval vessels, the land was still held in reserve, and seriously -handicaps the entrance of any conipany reQuir- ing shipping facilities and wharves, as the reserve takes in all closeup available ground.
 Had the company been permitted to proceed it would have already been doing business in Seward. Tanks, and tank cars, wharves, buildings and spurs would have been constructed, and small. payroll started. while the halibut fleet and westward vessels would be calling in here for oil.
 It is not the first time that the Fed eral bureaus have held down the growth of towns in Alaska by reserv- ing all desirable sites, but it is first time Seward has been so hampered. Unless the bureaucratic knot can be cut soon there is danger that the Standard Oil company will be forced out of the field.

NO DIVISION OF TERRITORY

Up to the present time no legislator has introduced memorial advocating a division of the Territory or the re- moval of the capital It was believed last year that bitter fight would be made by the Northern legislators to remedy existing conditions by either removing the capital farther north or by dividing the Territory so as to af- ford residents of both section greater convenience in the transaction of gov ernment business.
 As the time has passed during which this bill can be introduced, it is probable that those legislators that incorporated this plank in their cam- paign platform were switched to some other subject and forgot it.

EXTENDING THE RAILWAY

In time the government railway will probably be extended to embrace the Kuskokwim and Yukon districts and on to Nome. By this extension the tonnage would be greatly increased and the richest mineralized section of Alaska would be assured of winter transportation.
 By leaving the present railway line at Nancy and going up. the Yentna and Sqwentna rivers through Rainy Pass, thence down the Kuskokwim and across to Ruby, a very rich dis trit would be tapped. The Kusko kwim region has hardly been scratch ed, and comprises a rich and fertile valley of probably 1000 miles in length and from two to forty miles in width. So little is known of this vast region that it has not yet been surveyed. Government maps are woefully inac- curate, whole mountain ranges heinz left out, and the location of most of the camps being out of orientation. The district is rich in minerals, and is a wonderful grazing country. The summers are delightful and the win ters are cold but invigorating. The river itself is a wonderful stream, be- ing navigated by ocean going steam- CTS for distance of 800 miles from its mouth, and having a slow current, with no reefs, bars Or rapids, From the Kuskokwim to Bethel is short distance, and from Ruby the course could be laid straight for Nome.
 The Second division is one of the richest and most highly mineralized in Alaska. It has been held back thru lack of transportation and has suffered a reduction in population on this ac- count Millions of dollars in furs and gold could be hauled out by the rail- way, and the Siberian trade would add other millions. With the advent of railroad to Nome industries in the Second division would flourish and the population be increased by many thousands. The main drawback has been lack of transportation from early in the fall until late in the spring.
 By tapping the Kuskokwim and the Nome district the railway would be a paying institution from the start.
