RESIDENT OF SKAGWAY SAYS
 CONDITIONS BAD IN GREECE

Dennis Kostis, well-known in Skagway and foreman of the White Pass & Yukon section crew at Pen nington, who returned to Alaska recently with his bride from his home on the island of Zante Greece, tells of the suffering and hardships which people of that country un- derwent following the defeat of the Greek army by the Turks.
 More than a million people were without homes, he said, in speaking to a representative of the Alaskan of the matter. The Greek govern ment did everything possible to al lay their suffering but hordes were forced to go without food and shel- ter. Oftimes whole families sue cumbed to the ravages of starvation before aid could reach them.
 Mir. Kostis spoke little in regard to the political situation when he left there about seven weeks ago. q don't know anything about that, he continued, adding And I don't want to-"
 After considerable trouble, MT. Kostis managed to secure passports for himself and his bride. He spoke briefly of the severe policy of the reigning power regarding enforce ment of the army service orders, Unless these orders were obeyed, he said, mans entire family would be taken of, separate and male mem bers forced to pay tribute for fail ure of the one who called to the col. ors to report for military duty.

GOTWALS THINKS ANCHORAGE
 HANDLES TRUTH cARELESSLY

"Atrocious bunk" is the charac- terization of Col. John C. Gotwals of the statement that he had To- cated a railroad spur from the AL aska Railroad into the Kantishna district and of disagreement be- tween the War and Interior Depart ments as reported in recent tele- graphic despatches received in Jun eau from Anchorage. The reliabili- ty of the source of the reports from Anchorage of statements credited to Col. Mears is also questioned by Col. Gotwals in a signed statement given to The Juneau Empire by Col Gotwals.
 In this statement he said:
 Dispatches emanating from An chorage within the last two or three days are no doubt badly warped and no one can give judgment upon al- legged statements of Colonel Mears until the actual statement is re- ceived in an authentic manner.
 It is well, in this respect, 10 re- call the misinterpretation of Dr. Bain's interview of last summer or iginating in the same place and the same manner.
 Tn respect to statement in refar- ence to my havng located rail road spur into the Kantishna, such statements Is the most atrocious bunk. The further statement that there is any difference between the Interior and War Departments is cut out of the same cloth"

THE SCARE CROW

The forestry service Glas indicated desire to facilitate the develop ment of the pulp wood industry in Alaska. The development of the wood pulp industry anywhere at this time is a recognized necessity and in Alaska says the Skagway Alaskan we would look upon aid in that branch as most welcome and gratifying. IL has been officially an nounced that the Forestry depart ment has been advertising for the sale of stumpage aggregating some 33,4OO, ,O00, 100000 cubic feet oi wood pulp timber.
 At first glance it would seem tha, there would be a great rush on par; of timbermen and others engaged 1T the development of raw material fol pulp purposes to take advantage oi this move. The advertisement state; that the lowest acceptable bids vii be fixed on Sitka spruce at 50 cent: per hundred cubic feet, 30 cents fol hemlock and other species which may or may not be alright and is 2 matter which might if not considered

practicable figure be easily ad- justed to make possible a further ance of development of Alaska's re- sources in this particular branch of industry.
 But investors are not particular ly anxious to take advantage of this seemingly generous offer on part of the department. They are ready and willing to develop Alaska pulp wood wherever it may be found in suffici- ent quantities to warrent reasonable returns on their money; but such investments are large and the raw product ever subject to the whims of a market given to fuctuation. Hence there is need of something more substantial than the mere quo- tation of prices at which the mater ial may be found.
 The men whose money must be used to launch such projects fully realize that returns may not come for years, with always the chance of loss through unforeseen events over which they have no control Hence it is small clause in the government requirements have ap- parently been the means of driv- ing capital away rather than attract ing 1t towards the goal for which ! it is reasonable to suppose, it was intended. For it is stated there will be possible adjustments every five years thereafter" and 1t is the men { acing shadow of these possible ad- justments" which place the pros pective investor much in the posi- ton of man walking along a slip pery pathway with hands tied and eyes blindfolded; a position not sought by the keen minds of those whose business acumen forbids a
 risk on such uncertain roads of f.
 nance. So they turn their eyes and incidently their money towards
 fields afar, in which Canada has i figured in no small measure, a sub- stantial beneficiary. ..

REPEAL OF BONE DRY LAW

4 correspondent at Anchorage declares that in the opinion Of it's attorneys either the Alaska Bone Dry Law or the Volstead Act must go, as they are incongruous. It will be difficult points out the Ketchi- kan News to repeal the Volstead Act, but as Congress created the Alaska Bone Dry Act as the result of an expression of the voters of the Territory, il is probable that a similar recognition of the desires of majority of the voters would be evidenced in 2 repeal of the act. There has been strong intimation that the forthcoming session of the Legislature will be asked to again submit the question to the electorate of the Territory. Some are looking ahead of the time when the con- sumption Of beer and light wines will not be considered a crime and they don't want the Act that has been especially created for Alaska to stand in the way of the enjoy ment of any liberalized law that Congress may enact on the rest of the country.

DRILLING WILL START SOON
 IN NEW ALASKA OIL FIELD

Drilling for oil at Yakataga Beach will be started this summer, deal having just been closed here insur- ing thorough prospecting of the field there, according to an an nouncement made at Juneau recent ly by Representative Frank H. Eos ter, of Cordova, who with several other Cordova men is interested in the field. Development of this field will mean much to Juneau as 1t Is directly tributary to this city and work there will benefit the town more than any other in the Terri tory" said Mir. Foster to a re- presentative of the Empire.
 In announcing the forthcoming explorations at Yakataga, he said: MT. John Fleming, representing W. A. Munley, former United States Attorney at Valdez, a group of Portland and Montana capitalists, has contracted with parties owning claims at Yakataga Beach for the development of these claims, five in number, with a gross area of i12,560 acres. The contract calls for transportation of the drills to be started to the field not later than June 25. The outfit will be landed at Mt. St. Elias, or Icy Bay and carried direct to the scene of drill ing. The agreement reached be- tween the permittees and the cap ftalists interested in the deal calls for wells to be driven 5000 feet unless oil is encountered at lesser depth Equipment to carry the holes down to the maximum depth will be sent North at the outset"
 This is the first actual develop ment to be undertaken at Yakataga Beach, which is declared in the most recent reports of the Geological Survey to be a field highly favor able for drilling and one that prom ises good results. Other groups of claims in the same neighborhood, il is reported, will be drilled on this summer, presumably by the same i interests undertaking the initial op-
 erations.
 The claims involved in the pre-
 sent deal include the Ross, Ibach,
 Wolfe, Currier and Tuerck. They
 are located adjacent to the Mike
 Sullivan holdings an are between
 White River and Pool Greek.
 ] So confident are those holding ground in the district that oil in
 commercially paying quantities will
 be struck that plans for opening ur
 a townsite are already made. The
 center will be at Mt. St. Elias Bay

CANDIDATES FOR 1924

History is repeating itself in Pres ident Harding's uncertain attitude towards nomination says the New York Sun. In 1920 he announced his candidacy, g little later with drew it, and then renewed it. Such vacillation has usually been regard ed as fatal, but 1t seemed to make no difference in the outcome at Chicago. There can be no doubt that in 1924, as in 1920, Mr. Hard ing will finally make up his mind to run. If he found it impossible to resist the plea of his friends when he had no particular claim to the nomination and when his chances of getting it were generally considered poor, he cannot expect to resist them now.
 The act is that on his behalf has already commenced. There have been signs of activities in favor of other candidates, and these have stirred his supporters to counter moves. For this preliminary cam paigning his consent Is not nec- essary All that is required is that he refrain from interfering By the time that this almost impercep- tible movement has reached a stage at which it cannot be ignored ii, will be too late to be repudiated.
 On the Democratic side Senator Underwood is at the moment the outstanding figure. He is repre- sented as taking solemn counsel with himself as to whether he shall or shall not tell his friends to go ahead and capture all the dele gates they can. A real Southerner running for President would be enough to make the campaign of 1924 historic but at present it looks as if MT. Underwood will have as hard fight for the nomination as he had in 1912. Some of the leading candidates of 1920 will be in the field, and they will be joined by new candidate of undoubted availability" The senate seat will be occupied by ex-Gov. Ralston. MT. RalstOn is asying nothing about 1924. He doesn't need to. A Demo crat who can recapture Indiana rwo years after the greatest Reputli- can landslide in the annals of Am- erican politics is under no necessity of putting up Presidential light ming rod. ...:..- .~.

Mike Shull Here
A Pennsylvania Judge Now; Once a
Football Celebrity

In Pennsylvania he is the
Honorable Samuel E. Shull,
Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas, but to the University and
Chapel Hill Alk who knew him
here "a years ago he is still
Mike Shull.
A friend saw him coming
down the main street Sunday
night, With'a sort of dazed look
on his face, and greeted him
with delight.
Il haven't been back here
since 1903" the Pennsylvania
said, "and if somebody hadn't
told me this was Chapel Hill |
wouldn't know it. Pm still try
ing to get my bearings. What
have you been doing to the
town."
Mike Shull played tackle on
the victorious '98 football team,
and was captain in 1899. Some
of his gridiron contemporaries
were Vernon Howell, Jim Mac
Rae, Frank Rogers, Francis Os-
borne, Ernest Graves, Frank
Bennett, Mink Cunningham, and
Yus4f Elliott
He studied law here, and when
he had completed the course
went back to his home in
StrOudsburg. There he became
active in public life and a few
years ago he was elected to the
bench.
Judge Shull is a Democrat.
To people in the South, who
think Pennsylvania as hopelessly
and shamelessly Republican, it
might sound strange that he
could be elected to any Office.
But there are counties in the
northeast corner of the State
that are historically Democratic,
and he lives in one of them, Mon
roe. Year after year the Demo
cratic candidates are elected

BATTLES PARK IS
BEING PRESERVED
Only Small Fractions of Ii Are Taken
for New University Buildings
and for Residences
FINE WOODLAND IS PERMANENT

/ From all the talk of Universi-
ty expansion eastward, in the
last few months, some people
have got the idea that Battles
Park is in danger of being
swallowed up, or at least seri-
ously invaded.
AS a matter of fact, the Uni
versity actually owns more
woodland now than it had be-
fore, and it purposes to keep it
perpetually as a park. The
woods on both sides of the brook,
all the way to the private prop
erty on the east, will remain un-
disturbed. Indian Spring, Low
er's Leap, and other historic
spots dear to alumni and old in
HdulIdHIS, are Sale.
The University's new dormi-
tories and new tennis courts will
occupy only the small part of
the woods just across the old
Raleigh road from the campus,
to the west of the recently con-
structed Caemron avenue extern
sion leading from the campus to
the country club.
AS a gift from the Gimghouls
the University gets % acres of
park land. 1t had 80 acres of
it's own, so that the future Bat
ties Park will contain So acres.
The improvements now under
way or soon to begin-roads,
tennis courts, buildings-are
serving to outline Battles Park
to make of it a definite recog-
nizable area. Hitherto, IT'S linn
it's have been uncertain-every-
body has settled them for him
self. Much of what used to be
called Battles Park was not
University property at all, but
was simply left by its owners
for folks to roam over at will.

House of Goods Boxes
Cook in Cooch's Cafe Has Built
Novel Dwelling

Everybody in Chapel Hill who

houses should consult Marion,
commonly known as Mary Ann,
the chef at Go0ch's Cafe. Last
year he solved the whole prob
lem, as far as his family was
concerned, by building his own
home. And not only did he
sc0rn architects, carpenters, and
profiteering landlords, but he
flung down the gauntlet as well
to the regular lumber COM
panies. His home is artfully
constructed of goods boxes re-
ceived by the cafe.
This unique little dwelling is
about twelve feet square and it
stands on the towns western

ioveliest views about Chapel Hill.
