STANDARD OIL U, PROGRESSES SLOWLY
 IN KANATA DRILLING

A. Lindberg, who has been operat- ing the caterpillars at kanatak lorI the Standard Oil company, was pas senger for Seattle on the Admiral Watson, to be gone couple of months on business trip Speaking of con- ditions in the oil fields MT. Lindberg stated that his company was now in very hard formation, and down about 900 feet The company was now using 15h inch casing, which would be further reduced to 12-inch in short time. He stated that indi- cations pointed toward an oil pool al- though admitting that no gas had as yet been struck, or that the cap rock mad been penetrated.
 Mir Linberg sa;G there were forty one persons in Kanatak at the pres ent time, and that they were marking time until resumption of work next spring. While times were dun, the residents had not become discouraged but were looking for a big camp when the fields came in.
 MT. Lindberg stated that Robert Mcintosh and Gabe Santos, former Seward residents, now in business in Kanatak, were well and in good spir- its, and that both looked for better timpS in the near future
 Speaking ot the new road built this summer by George Spangler, foreman in charge for the Alaska Road Com mission, Mir. Lindberg stated that MT. Spangler had performed a fine piece of work, for which credit should be given, as he was handicapped for money and labor. He stated the new road was great asset to the commu- nifty and now that cold weather had come would be used daily in hauling in supplies.
 l Wm. Lee and wife had left kanatak for Wide Bay where MT Lee was in terested in oil properties.
 1 Mr. Lindberg states that the dam age done by the storm a month or SC ago, has been restored. The build i ing washed from their foundations have been returned and the boats and scows placed back in the water ! Supt. Jones of the Associated Oil companies, in recent letter to Kan atak stated that he would return some time after the first of the year, and resume operations, which has restored confidence in the camp.
 ! Mir. Lindberg stated that shortly be- fore he left Kanatak Mrs. Cora D. i Meyer, known throughout Alaska as Madame Renio, had been united in marriage to Helbert Anderson, for mer Cache creek miner. Derrick Lane well known in Seward, read the mar. rlage ceremony, as no minister or oth. CT official was present in camp The couple signed marriage contract be- fore number of witnesses and were proclaimed man and wife. After the ceremony the guests repaired to San tos' Cafe where an elaborate wedding l breakfast was served. This is the first common law marriage to be per formed in Alaska since the old boom days when officials competent to per. form a marriage contract were hard i to find.

which it was discovered, is almost. if
not the very same as that in this
affair at Circle Lake of which Rogers
tells us.
1.-THE Edlingham case goes down in
the history of crime as one of the
worst miscarriages of justice of which
we know. There is no doubt that the
police faxed the evidence against the
men. They spent six years in prison
for crime they knew nothing about.
In that case, too, the two men were
found early in the morning in the
house of local vicar just as Slyke
and his step-daughter found someone
in their house, so the vicar and HIS
daughter discovered two men in their
living room. Later the men were ar
rested on the outskirts of the little
English village; and, as in the story
that Rogers told US, piece of paper
was found in the room at the vicarage
that fitted into the torn corner of a
newspaper which was discovered some
days later in the house of one of the
men. Footprints were also found un-
der the window, and little piece of
cloth on a rose bush. This in turn
fitted into torn place in a pair of
trousers belonging to one of the men,"
! uttered an exclamation of wonder,
and BARLEY grinned. st Is the most
famous case of it's kind in the history
of English crime. It's odd how the
evidence in this Circle Lake robbery
parallels it so closely. 1t looks little

crime. and tried to repeat the evidence

CHAPTER u
In Which We Visit Mr.. Slyke, but Do
Not Receive Avery Warm Reception.

In Which We Visit MIR. Siyke, but Do
Not Receive Avery Warm Reception.
It was not until early Sunday morn
ing that we were able to leave the
city. After the days of rain, the. ride
along the banks of the Hudson was
very beautiful. At Albany we had
luncheon in one of the large hotels
to the accompaniment of an orchestra
booming the popular music of the mo-
ment. BARLEY was so thoroughly un.
comfortable that he refused to speak.
It was not until we were waiting for
the waiter to return with our change
and he had lighted cigar that he
became more amiable. He bowed to
some people he knew. then leaned
toward me and spoke softly so that
those at the next table would not hear.
"Pelt, we cannot say just what we.
will find up at the lake. / have
thought the affair over carefully, and
the more think of it the more puzzled
| am. If Rogers told us all the facts,
Ven there are two well-defined con-
that those two men are innocent. The
second is that Slyke knew who it was
that broke into his house, but had
strong reasons for claiming he could
not recognize them. If his daughter
could swear to the identity of the men
that were arrested, he should also
have been able to recognize them. But
he says he did not, and. we are told,
he wanted the case dropped"
He paused as the waiter appeared
with our change, and we went hack to
our car.

drive from Albany. Circle Lake was
several miles nearer.
knew very little about the place
except that 1t was small lake out
side of Saratoga where there were a
number of large summer estates. Bob

at Harvard, had a place there where
he passed the greater part of the
year.
About an hour and half out Of

ing to small sheet of water In the
distance. "That's Circle lake"
We were on the top Of a large hill
at the moment, and, though the lake
was several miles away. 1t looked
even smaller than had expected. 1t

insight into the character Of the man
whose name was on the card. 1t took
me but second to find the card that
contained Sykes name. When ! re-
turned to the library, BARLEY asked

BARLEY listened while l read this
short and commonplace history.
When had finished, he said simply,

/ asked the question that had been
In my mind for some time. "Why was

BARLEY smiled at my question. you
are getting wiser every day, Pelt. It
is curious that Slyke professed to be
unable to identify the men when the
girl, who was on the steps behind him
and even further away from the men
than he was, could do so. 1t may be
that he did recognize them and did not
want to say who they were. If that is
SO, then the whole affair is more mys-
terious than ever"
He rose to his feet and glanced at
his watch. Tomorrow, or Sunday,
we will run up to the lake. We had

regretful little laugh. "There goes

BARLEY said but one word, but 1t
was expressive enough. We sat in
silence until Rogers pulled out his
watch, glanced at 1t, and rose to his
feet "Time ran along. That's the

moment had found the volume that
he wanted-a thin book, covered with
brown cloth, and on the title page
