OIL PERMIT HOLDERS
 MAY PROCEED

On March 2nd the Bulletin con- iained telegram from Washington stating that the President had with drawn from entry oil and gas pros recting permits in that sectiop of Alaska extending from the Endicott Mountains to the Arctic Ocean. in- cluding some 25,0OO acres of land.
 The local Land Office has been be- seiged with inquiries from holders of prospecting permits and applica- ants for permits asking how their permits and applications will be effected by the new ruling.
 To satisfy themselves and to set at rest the minds of the public the Nome Land Office telegraphed the General Land Office at Washington for information and instructions and received the following reply:
 Washington. March ', 1923. REGISTER AND RECEIVER. Nome, Alaska
 In reply to your telegram of March sixth. It is valid to remit applica- tions filed prior to February 27th. These are not affected by the Presi- oential Proclamation. Drilling may proceed on permits. Reject appli- cations fled subsequent to said date.
 SPRY, Commissioner.
 From this telegram it is decided that permits already issued obtain and that applica tions field prior to Feb. 27th will proceed to perfection. Those who filed their applications in the Land Office after Feb. 27th, 1928, will be effected by the procla- nation and their applications will be rejected.
 Nome contains a number of per sons who have already filed their permits and those fortunate ones reed not worry, their holdings are sound and in no wise invalidated by the Proclamation of withdrawal.

MUSkON FOR ALASKA

When Captain Foster, whose mili- war. returned q short time ago from an expedition into the mining reg ions of Alaska, he brought with him some interesting information in proof of the fact that the northern ran ges of Alaska were once the na- tui Fl habitat of the muskoS. Not o1ly are there large numbers of mUSkox horns to he found tn thCse ranges, bTt there are other nviden ces hat large numbers of tHe% ami mas once lived in this part of the cgun.,v What accident or i"sien dr;ee the muskox from the ranges of Alaska, is a mystery, saT9 Cap- tain Foster. but he is enthusiastic in his belief that they could be intro- duced into the country with just as successful results as followed in the development of the ref deer in dustry.
 One special advantage which would be derived from the return of the muskox to Alaska would be the in crease in the variety of the meat supply of the territory. The de- velopment of the muskox industry woul also serve as a natural and fit occupation for Indian herders. as does the reindeer breeding at the present time. Catpain Foster also spoke very favorably of the poten- tialifties of this latter industry. which he regards as the solution of the meat problem for Alaska, and as one of the great potential resour- ces of the north.-Exchange.

MOTOR TRANSPORT
DEFINED BY EXPERT
Bureau of Roads Official In
terprets Term for Students
in Essay Contest.

IN response to numerous requests for
an Interpretation of the words high
way transport" the mammoth new
| industry that has grown up since the
| advent of the automobile, Thomas H.
Macdonald, chief of the United States
bureau of public roads. has prepared
I a definition for the use Of students
| participating in the annual high school
essay contest conducted by the highway
education board.
The subject of the essays TO be
written in the contest this year, in
which thousands of high school stu
dents are trying to win a four thou
Sand-dollar scholarship, is THE In
fiuence of Highway Transport Upon the
Religious Life of My Community" and
according to letters, students through
out the country have not always been
clear as to the meaning of the words
| HIGHWAY transport" Mr. MacDon-
AIDS definition is therefore in an
swer to these requests.
Movement Over Highways.
"Hishway transport, or highway
transportation says Mr.. Macdonald
deals with the movement of persons
and things over the highways. and
has TO do with the instruments of
vehicle, well as the services rem
dered by these transportation in
struments"
This Interpretation is being sup
piled all high schools in an effort to
give students the clearest under
| standing of the subject on which es-
says are to be written.
| Highway transport, therefore, en-
braces not only the automobile and
| the motor truck, but implies the use
of these vehicles for the transporta-
| ton of passengers and commodities
| over the roads. The contact of the
/ two. the vehicle and the road, con-
| stitutes highway transport. Its
growth has closely paralleled the de-
| velopment of the automobile indus
! try, and in its entirety 1t today rep
| resents an investment of billions of
| dollars.
Many schools have inquired what
! is meant by the words religious
| life" and the words my community
| In response to these requests the
| board has said that religious life"
may be taken to mean. not only
church attendance, but the general
| moral tone of community or locality
| as well. The student may regard the
| phrase my community" says the
! board, as his immediate locality, his
county or township, or even the state.

About Your Insurance.

Insurance men have been telling car
owners that the matter of reducing
rates is up to the car owners them
selves, and now We have some figures
to prove il.
Five insurance companies which are
very careful as to who they insure
paid losses of s7,s76,4s2 out of net
premiums of s14,755,2s3. representing
loss ratio OF about 55 per cent.
Five other companies which are not
SO discriminating paid losses of So
954.345 out of net premiums Of 81
DALE. representing a loss RATIO of
close to IS per cent To these loss
ratios must be added operating ex-
penses and reserve for contingencies.
such as a conflagration, earthquake
or windstorm, which might destroy
thousands OF automobiles at one time.
The insurance companies are also en-
titled to a legitimate profit from
their endeavors. All of which. when
added to a loss ratio like IS per cent.
may easily exceed the amount of an
nual net premiums.
1t should be evident. therefore. that
where car owners and drivers are
reasonably careful the loss ratio goes

Do you ever stop to wonder whether
your car is as healthy as it appears
10 be?
Its not case OF borrowing trouble,
but of keeping trouble from troubling
you at time when breakdown
would be as welcome as fiat tire the
night of the wedding.
Like the human body, the motor car
sends out an occasional 5 S and
tries its darndest to flag trouble, but
the party at the wheel is usually as
tnsensible 10 the groans from under
the hood as he is to twingeS around
his heart. All of which explains why
getting your car examined on mere
suspicion of trouble may be simply a
matter of unconsciously paying at
tention to danger signals which II
has been frantically giving you.
Have your car examined now. Don't
wait for danger signals; you might
miss the first few and the last one
may be too late. It's true that car
literally talks" to its owner when
there's something wrong. but no car
has ever been known to do any very
effective advance agent work.

will never offer the slightest clue to

will never reveal the real facts.
There's only one sure way to know
whether the hose connections are up

You can't tell the pulse rate of d

Digging deeper into the subject the

in and about the repair shops. a car
owner just discovered. for instance,
that he had been driving 21,000 miles
with scored cylinders. The clearance
between pistons and cylinders was SO
excessive that il was necessary TO re-
bore the block. install oversize piS-
tons and. in general. rebuild the en-
gine just as though it had been driven
into the shop hopeless wreck. The
truth of the matter is that just pre-
riouS to driving the car into the shop
the owner had taken it over the
towns favorite test hill in high.
completing the climb at speed that
proved beyond d doubt that he did not
strain the power plant.
He was naturally amazed when the
repdirer found so much the matter
