Schools as Assets l, (Florence Herald)

The schools of the city are face to face with a condition which se- riously menaces the welfare of the young generation. Rooms are crowded beyond the possibility of giving proper instruction to the children already in school, to say nothing of the hundreds who ought to be in school, but who cannot be accommodated. Adeouate school facilities are the greatest asset community can have. The high class citizenship of Florence today is the result of such facili- ties and we cannot afford to see the standard lowered.

For Better Penal Condition.


 To ths fditef of The Age-Herald; My attention has been called to your editorial of October 14 en- titled, "A Factor in Penal sys- tsms." l wish to commend the spirit and substahce of this edl- toriai and trust your valuable Journal will be effective fin se- curing better conditions in the state of Alabama. My experience of twenty-five years in dealing with the offender has convinced me that nothing is gained by the harsh treatment of prisoners. My observation also leads me to feel that there is room for improve ment not merely in Alabama. but in practically every state of the Union. Assuring you we will be glad to be of service in the better ment of conditions everywhere, I remain sincerely yours,

toeai1ie Times.)

Drilling for oil in the Cold Bay district of Alaska has been begun by the Associated Oil Company, ac- cordng to information J. w. Me Cord, former general manager C. the WestWard Development Com pany. registered at the Frye Hotel, has received from the oil field by way of Anchorage. The Westward Development Company is the corpor- aion of Seattle and Portland capi- talists which acquired tho claims for tho Associated oil and the Stand ard on companies and induced these big producing companies to drill for oil in Alaska.
 The same source of information which told of Associated Oil Com pany's drilling start also stated that the Standard Oil Company will begin drilling about February l
 News of the sinking of the first oil drill into the soil of Alaska Penin- sula was brought to Anchorage from Kanatak, Portage Bay. by the cap tain of the steamship Starr, which plies between the two points The drilling began 10 days ago. Mir. Me. Cord said. The Associated Oil out fit has a light rig as compared to the S4-foot derrick and heavy rig of the Standard Oil. This accounts for the formers starting first
 Associated Oil and Standard OH with whom the General Petroleum Company is interested in the initial cost of the prospect well. have their wells within three-quarters of a mile of one another on Pearl Creek, r miles from Portage Bay. where the camp supplies and drilling machin- cry and crews went in late last summer.
 MT. McCord said he believed Port age Bay as the center of activities for shipping to the Cold Bay district and as the point of shipment Of oil if oil is discovered in conner cial quantities-wi be given up eventually and that Wide Bay, sev cral miles to the west of Portage Bay, may be tho harbor adopted.
