the valley to be inhabited by evil
spirits.
The country Is well watered.
Mountain streams thunder through 1T
at almost regular intervals. 1t has
a considerable stock of game. The
explorers met frequently with the
Kodiak bear, the largest creature of
the 'sepecies. Mr. Lynt killed one.
These creatures dominate the valley,
feeding on the smaller animals and
on the great herds of caribou, which
take advantage Of the excellent
grazing.
The explorers report the kodiak
as comparatively inoffensive ami

hungry or when wounded. They have
become so accustomed to their su-
premacy in the country. however,
that they show no fear of man.
Speak I'm Praise OF Climate.
Mr.. Sergeant and Mr.. Lynt praise
the country particularly for it's eli
mate. Alaska during the summer
months is frightfully hot, the ther-
mometer in some places staying over
100 for days at time. One geolog-
ical man. who operated just below
the arctic circle in the interior this
summer, reported that, for the first
time, he experienced no trouble with

for them. This stretch. however. Is
cool. A light sea fog hangs over
1t during the night, lowering the
temperature greatly. This is always
quickly broken up by the wind and
sunshine of the days.
The grass was SO thick that the
packhorses barely nibbled the tops.
In especially favored places it grew
eight feet high for long stretches
and the explorers found considerable
difficulty In forcing their way
through II.
The two mountain ranges cut of
fierce winds which sweep the coast
line, but the valley still is very
windy at times. This is held partly
responsible for the absence Of large
trees.
There are, however, very thick
groves Of shrub alders. The explor-
ers found travel through these like
penetrating the dense South Amer
lean 5ungles. 1t was necessary to
cut a. way or locate some trail
around. Mosquitoes are far less
prominent than in most sections of
Alaska and the Yukon territory.

Washington Men to Portray
FairyIa1,d Of the Far North
Explorers Mapping Valley Area CoUered
With Grass and Overshado,ced BY
Sno,v-Capped Mountains.

What may prove the future fairy
land Of the far north is being placed
on maps Of the United States for the
first time this month ~
It is a long, narrow valley, or sue
cession Of valleys, shadowed on both
sides by snow-covered mountains,
where over mile after mile of level
country rich herdsgrass grows five
feet tall. where rainbow-like pro-
fusion Of flowers extends In ribbons
along the foothills, and from which
even wandering Indian families have
been driven by q superstitious fear.
The existence of this country was
unrecorded and hardly suspected
until two parties of explorers from
the United States geological survey.
made UP of Washington men, entered
1t with pack horses early this sum-
1ner. The leaders of both parties,
Il. II. Sergeant, 1858 Mckinley street
northwest, and Richard X. Lynt, 1916
Lawrence street northeast, have re-
turned full of enthusiasm over the
wonderland of the north and are
engaged in making exact topograph-
ical records Of the territory.
First White Man to Explore.
With one exception they are per-
haps the first white men ever to
have entered the country. One. lone
I'rospector has built a cabin at the
upper end OF the valley where he
IS guarding, year after year, cop
FER claim.
The country lies at the extreme
northwestern base of the Alaska
peninsula. 1t is less than 100 miles
overland from that section of the ter
ritory which is most familiar to
tourists. the barren coastline sur
mounted by the AIeutian mountains.
the prospect is so uninviting that
none suspect what lies beyond the
desolate coast.
Mr.. Sergeant led his party into the
valley from the north. Mr.. Lynt went
in from the south, making his way
northward through the famous "Val-
ley Of Ten Thousand Smokes" the
two making scientific data along the
way and coming together somewhere

We're as much cut off from mankind
as IT they were On another planet.
During the entire summer they did
not meet human being or hardly
trace of any who had gone before.
Each party carried its entire sup
plies, food, tents, blankets, over the
mountains on six pack horses. 1t
was then q case of depending for
fresh food on the country.
Silence Held Supernatural.
The valley Is one of almost super
natural silence. Most prominently
above 1t looms the volcano Katmai,
which has the reputation of being
the most active in the whole north.
The explorers claim, however, that it
gradually is Becoming quieter. Its

Says u. S. Oil
Resources Are
Endless

Editor, The Washington Times:
r NOTICE that the majority Of
the House and Senate has
voted to admit the Mexican
Oil free from all duty for the
reason that to put duty on this
oil would cause the use of ad-
ditional oil from the fields Of the
United States and thus exhaust
the oil resources.
Whoever furnished the informa-
ton as to the exhaustion of the
oil in the United States, whether
Government biologists or promi-
nent spectators, are absolutely
in error, for the following reasons:
With all the production that we
can secure in the United States,
the oil resources of this country
can never be exhausted for the
period Of the life of the world.
Approximately one-third of the
land of this country is underlaid
with oil, to which additional oil is
constantly being added, due to
the oil formation, which is being
dissolved by the heating Of the
earth and the constant perco-
lation increase into the natural
cavity storage in the oil strata.
We will never reach the time
when the oil, resources Of this
country will be exhausted. Per-
haps other inventions and dis
coveries in the near future will
take the place now occupied by
oil, for example, the air.
There are between five and six
million people dependent upon the
oil industry, with it's allied lines,
for their livelihood. 1t is the
main artery of commerce in this
country today. With the opening
up Of the oil industry, which can
be accomplished by putting a
tariff on Mexican oil. you will see
the crude oil increase to price
near two dollars per barrel; the
business depression will disappear
and good times will follow in its
wake. If this Government would
buy a reserve of 100,000,000 bar
rels at the present price for the
proper needs, there would be no
oil left in storage in this country
for the market, and in twenty
four hours time oil would be
selling at five dollars per barrel.
1t will also increase the value
of the national resources and help
redeem the war debts. Surely no
one using machinery of any kind,
whether on land, sea or air, would
object to paying a few cents per
gallon more than at present for
their necessary supply which
brings resource and profit to this
country. / am sure the informa-
ton which the House and Senate
had at the time Of the defeat of
this bill was absolutely wrong,
and that after additional investi-
CATION you will find that l am
right.

Lucy Lowell On
Worthwhile
Love
By Lucy Lowell.

" HERE were three of US at

who just is beginning to be
figure of tremendous impor-
lance in the world of make-be-
lieve, the poised. exquisite won-
an Of forty past, and myself.
The little actress, aflame with
the joy of ambitions about to be
realized, talked a great deal. She
had many ideas and she stated
them. every one, as fact, with
all the splendid arrogance of for
ward-looking youth.
The older woman listened. She
was very happy in the others
happiness, but a shadow lay in
her eyes. Her quiet was like ex-
perience, reviewing it's dreams,
rather sad, very dramatic.
Now" chartered the girl, Tin
the matter of marriage! l shall
never marry a man who tells
me-truthfully-that he never has
loved another woman! No shy
and hesitant ascetic for me!
don't care for the type
and I don't believe other women
do either. At least not the
women who have seen something
or life and understand it.
women love the mystery that
lies in a mans experiences. We
prefer the man with a past to
the other sort every timer
wonder" It was hardly
more than a whisper from the
older woman and it brought a
strained bit of silence. Twenty
five years ago she married man,
older than herself, whose past.
one tattered and time-worn, still
travels round with gossip.
But your home has been
happy" protested the girl. For
more than two decades there
hasn't been a thing to distress you
Why your husband wouldn't look
at anyone else. and you know it,"
of course 1 do. But tell me
are YOU thinking seriously of
one of them-the man with the
past?"
The girl flushed and admitted
that she was.
you see, I'm rather intrigued
ny MS assurance, MS polSe and
sophistication. And the expert
enced man is an infinitely better
love maker than the other sort"
This woman of forty past Is
not given to discussing her mar
ried life. So it was with some
thing of difficulty that she spoke.
THAT is just it, my dear. I'm
less you love him in spite Of his
past and not because of the no.
nance you believe it stands for,
better give him up right now,
otherwise you will under
stand sometime that the tiny-and
big, too!-expressions of love your
husband offers you are worth
while only If they're spontaneous.
There is no warmth in them-.no
fragrance-if you've even a sus-
picion that they're part of a
practiced technique of kindness"
