BERLIN, March z (By The AS
ISOLATED Press).-Chancellor Cuno's
declaration that Germany will hold
out in the Ruhr and his intimation
that no o%vertures will be made so
long as the occupation renders it
impossible for US to estimate our
own capacity" rang through the
Reich today as the peope appraised
their spokesman's address to the
Reichstag.
Asserting that France had OBJ
tanned nothing in all the weeks of
the occupation, Herr Cuno scoffed
at talk of negotiations SO long as the
E9ituation remained as 1t is.
I'VE will agree with no settle

Hose Company Meet.

A meeting of Volunteer hose company
No. was held in the Town hall Mon
day evening. There was no business
of Importance transacted. Ways and
means of handling fires were discussed,
and the matter of equipment and hy-
drants being in shape was looked after.
The boys have not been called to a
fire in the past three months, which
speaks we'll for the citizens of Dolores.
Take town the size of Dolores where
many of the houses are not provided
with the best of chimneys, its citizens
must be very careful not to have fire
in three months. However, the
weather is cold now and the chimneys
and flues are likely to have more or less
SCOT in them, SO let us take just little
extra precautions and make it three
more months without fire.

SMALL INVESTMENT BRINGS PHONY WEALTH TO ALASKANS

Two well known Seward business men are literally rolling in wealth; a: least it looks Ike wealth.
 A short time ago, says the Cat way. H. E. Wilson of the Bank of Seward and Elwyn Swetmann of the Seward Drug Company, finding themselves overburdened with wealth of the realm decided to in- vest their surplus in a marketable commodity, deciding upon the Ger man mark for the venture, Ac- cordingly they sent to the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, Germany the stu pendous sum of two whole American dollars. Tn due course of time this Is what they received
 Thirty thousand paper marks; on which postage charges and duty, amounting to 7,430 was paid by the German government. The pack age of wealth was consigned to Sew ard in care of the Bank of Seward leaving Berlin on April 25, 1928, arriving in New York on May 4th and arrived in Seward May Is,
 The marks vary in denomination from one mark to 9 few of five thousand marks valuation, consisting of Is, g. $ 2Os sos 10Os 5O0s 10OOs. and 5O00s marks.
 In estimating the value it was as certained that MT. Wilson and Mir. Swetman received 1s7 marks for .0l cent. The present value Of each mark is .00O4 and the par val ue before the decline was .2382. Figuring on the par value the marks cost S1769.82 postage to Seward and the value of the marks re- ceived would amount to S7146.00, a small fortune in itself. Each, therefore. in investing a dollar stand to realize heavily on the investment at some future date.

 KANATAK SURE OF OUTCOME

J. J. Chisholm, of Anchorage. rep resenting the West Coast Grocery Co.,, of Tacoma arrived in Cordova recently on the freighter Valdez direct from Kana,ak, in the Cold Bay district. He reported everybody to the Westward very optimistic a bout the future of the new oil camp, and the residents feel that 1t is only a question of how much oil will be struck by the two com panies now drilling.
 The Associated Oil Company has drilled to a depth of SO feet thru hard rock, SO that the use of cas- ing is no. necessary. The Standard Oil Company is down 200 feet, en- countering the same formation. Con- siderable difficulty has been exper- fenced in the past few months work. but now that ample equip ment is on the ground no further trouble is expected in drilling. Both companies are also starting two other rigs and it is believed that by the latter part of June oil will be struck, at a depth of from 500 10 1000 feet.
 Mir. Chisholm says that Kanatak has afine townsite with plenty of water for power. There are 400 peo- pie in the camp and some building going on, with business fairly good. 4 lighrerage company with a tug and four Scows transports she freight from the steamers in the roadstead to the beaca.
 Four general merchandise stores supply the wants of the residents, while innumerable pool and soft drink places are well patronized. 4 small hotel looks after the comforts of the traveller. with a number of good restaurants 10 supply the wants of the inner man.
