station to look over a landing site. MT. Eielson expressed himself as we'll pleased with the site offered, and de clared nothing further need be done save leveling in spots, and making a large whitewashed cross on the ground to aid him in landing. He stated that the field shown him was ample in size and that he expected to xse it in the near future, as he would make the trip from Fairbanks to Seward a number of times this summer.
 The machine is one of the latest models of the Curtiss company, and is equipped with a Hispano Spija motor of late design. The company has also second motor in case of accidents. The machine was shipped to Seattle from Sacramento by express in order to get the Alameda. She also brought several crates of supplies.
 It is the intention of MT. Eielson to accompany the Presidential party part way on their interior trip, and to give lessons to those desiring to learn the science of flying.

station yard over which trucks can operate in loading products for distri- button to the local trade.
 A wharf of sufficient size to ac- commodate the largest steamers will be located at sufficient distance out from shore to insure proper depth of water for all boats that may desire to land at this station. This wharf will be connected to the shore with an approach upon which will be laid pipe lines through which oil will be pumped into the storage tanks by the tankers themselves.
 All buildings, tanks and other ne cessary structures will be painted with the light gray paint which has been adopted as that familiar and standard paint combination by the Standard Oil Company of California, and the entire exterior of the site de- veloped will be enclosed by any at tractive wire fence strung on steel posts, -I-,- t,.4. 4l3!
 The construction of the buildings, tanks and the filling in of this tract to make it suitable for handling the distribution of petroleum products will require the expenditure et. many thousands of dollars, and the opera tion of the plant will give employ ment to large number of men.
 The business men of Seward are congratulating themselves over the entrance of the Standard Oil Company in the local field, as this company is always the hamburger of more pros perous times, industries following fast upon their heels. The fact that they l have picked Seward as one of their largest sub-stations, is indicative of what they think of the future of the town.

KANSAS CITY, June 23.-President Harding, during a fifteen-mile auto ride in a broiling sun through the streets of Kansas City this afternoon. was so sunburned that his lips were badly swollen, but this did not pre- vent the delivery of speech on the transportation problems confronting the farmer; though he did, on the ad- vice of Dr. Sawyer, give up his visit to Swope Park and the Veterans hospital.
 The President referred to his trip as an official visit of inquiry to the vast Territory of Alaska. His speech was devoted mainly to railroads of the nation, which he said were finding it difficult to earn living. He said he did not share the views of those advocating government ownership.

WIGHT HUNDRED and fifty feet
 I is the depth of one of the holes now being drilled by the Associated Oil Company on the drilling grounds near Kanatak, the newest oil camp, according to statements by Attorney John F. Coffee, who arrived in Seward this week aboard the steamship Ad- miral Watson on his way to Anchor age. Two holes are being sunk by the Associated Oil Company and the second hole is down to depth of 475 feet. The Standard Oil Company
 which experienced considerable diff fully with it's drilling on account of the formation through which the drilling is being carried on is now down to depth of 275 feet. The pro gress being made now by the Asso- ciated Oil Company is highly satis- factory to the officials of the con- pany, having passed through the eX-- tremely hard capping which is known as conglomerate. In order to straight en out the hole being drilled, the Standard Oil Company resort to pow
 der was necessary, and several blasts were shot before the hole was finally strengthened. Phil B. Reed, superin- tendent of the Standard now feels that the greatest difficulty has been encountered and successfully over come and that from now on much better results in drilling will be had

After two years unwinding of gov ernmenal red tape, and numerous de- lays, MT. R. H. Fleser, engineer in charge of Standard Oil Construction work, arrived in Seward on the Ala meda, accompanied by G. l.. Edmond son, boilermaker foreman for the big Company, and work was started this morning. A large quantity of material will arrive on the freighter Lake Fil- bert, which is due in port at any day. MT. R. H. Fleser, who is in charge of construction work, is from the Seat tie office.
 After a thorough and analytical study of business conditions today in Southwestern Alaska, the Standard Oil Company of California, has decid- ed to establish a sub-station in Sew ard. The growth of this community and particularly the community's pros | poets for expansion and progress for the future have been some of the inn 1 portant factors which has brought this service to Alasa. This will give the town of Seward a large supply of Standard Oil products, backed up by the progressive marketing system of this Company, which will mean an inn i proved service for the entire commit nifty.
 The site which has been secured is located on the waterfront at Seward approxima tely one-quarter of mile >lortherly from the Government wharf. A portion of the site will be used as yard for five large storage tanks which will carry fuel oil, Calol Diesel Oil, Engine Distillate, Red Grown Gasoline and Pearl Oil. The balance of that portion of the site to be de veloped will be used for a warehouse location boilerhouse and other build ings, and will also comprise the sub

self within the next few months the center of one of the greatest oil fields in America. Many people who have visited the camp during past two months, according to Attorney Coffey, are waiting the word that oil has been strlfaas and will then rush to the new camp with their goods and chattels, prepared to become part of the great est boom ever to be experienced by Alaska, and such boom will rival the Klccdike and the Nome days.
 Many OIdtmers Here
 Many old timers are now in Kama. talk and have been busy during the past spring and winter in preparing for the rush that is anticipated in the late summer or the early fall. At a religious service held recently in the camp by Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap of Sew ard, one was reminded of the miners meetings held in the older days. Faces that have been seen in every stam- pede of the North appeared at the meeting, and were gazed upon by har- dy old stampeders that have with stood the hardships and the privations of frontier life during the past thirty years. The same spirit of adventure the same deisre to gamble with Ma ture were evidenced upon the counte- nances of the men and women pres ent at the meeting, that actuated the pioneers of old to seek out the waste places and the spots of mystery and romance. and there grasp from the inhospitable hand of Mother Nature the riches and opulence that have made Alaska the land of charm and delight to the many thousands who have visited her shores during the past forty years.
 Baseball Games Attract.
 Bob Mcintosh, the old Valdez war horse, with Ed Lawson, of Seward, are there, and occasionally when the wea- ther permits, Old Bob takes up his baseball bat, much as the Old Romans were wont to shoulder their cudgels, and goes forth among the youth of the camp, as eXemplifed by such boys as Ed Maddox, Tom Dodd, Bill Rust chow and Carl Armstrong, and plays a mighty game of baseball, the dia- mond of which is located on the Frs kine township, as level as floor The old boys play baseball two or three times week and it is no unu- sual sight to see the lads that at va rious times have aided in the develop ment of the almost inaccessible places of Alaska, cavorting around the bases much as young colts do when spring zephyrs sigh and the grass grows green
 When baseball is out of the ques- tion then the oldtimers gather about the fire and accuse one another of knowing too much about the oil game. Monoclines, anticlines, sync1ines and every other cline known to man Is discussed with a rare degree of intel ligence. Men who for the past thirty

sion, being carried on in conjunction with the two oil companies, under the supervision of George Spangler, when completed will give first class road extending from the town of Kanatak to the oil fields a distance of r miles. There is a local shortage of labor for this road building work and a tele- graphic request for twenty men was sent out ten days ago to Anchorage. Every available man in the new camp is at work, either with the Road Commission or with the Oil Compa- nies. The going wage with the Oil Companies is six dollars per day and board and four dollars per day and board with the Road Commission.
 The Ray c. Larson Lumber Com pany, which recently brought in two hundred thousand feet of Outside fir and cedar lumber has been doing a satisfactory business, with the result that the new camp is experiencing a building boom that makes for pros perity for the entire community. Sev- eral new buildings have been erected upon the Erskine townsite, one which is an office building to be devoted to the uses of the townsite management now in the capable hands of James Lathrop, who is on the ground and hourly sees visions of coming wealth when the rich oil pools have been en- cOuntered.
 Camp Is Prosperous.
 The camp generally is in fairly prosperous condition, and while at the present time there is no ground or reason for any great influx of people, MT. Coffey declares that conditions surrounding the drilling operations and the progress now being made by both companies warrants those on the ground, now numbering approxi- mately in the camp proper, and an- other 150 in the contiguous territory in harboring the most lively enthusi- asms and hopes. From talks had by MT. Coffey with the geologist connect ed with the companies, there is no question but that oil in considerable quantities will be encountered, the main question seems to be when this suspicious event will occur. The sands now being drilled through give every evidence of oil bearing sands and un- less all signs and indications fail ab- solutely, wells with an abundant flow will be struck within the very near future. Oil in paying and commercial quantities should be struck by the drilling companies not later than the first of September, according to MT. Coffey, who bases his predictions upon conversations had with people who have devoted their lives to the oil game.
 Each boat brings a few people to the new camp, and while curiosity is the actuating motive of their visits, all come away with the one idea that if there is anything in oil signs and exposed geologic formations, then surely Kanatak is bound to find her

A "BOne-dry Bill" and
WHY ENGLAND. Stands.

Ned Scrymgeour, Volstead OF Great
Britain, proposes a bone-dry bill with
little luck. Ned's idea is to call a
spade a spade and alcohol alcohol,
Such liquid would be labeled poison
and sold as such on prescription. Al
eoholic manufacture would be prohib-
tied except as medicine Violations
would entail heavy fines and prison
from one to five years.
The bill is certain Of early death but
here is a point worth noting should
Great Britain ever pass a prohibition
act it would b, ,rictly enforced and
strictly obeyed. People are brought
ND in England to obey the law and no
one dreams of anything otherwise.
In America we pass one law after
another hastily and uncOnsiderateIy.
The higher the legislation piles up the
greater the disobedience Between
the rocks OF low disobedience and eX-
cessfve law-making the ship OF state
in our republic is foundering and will

l now come to the large frame barn
that was built in 1910 by Martin T..
Ennor and George Hayes for livery
barn. They were III business for
number of years, and were sub-con-
tractors under Frink and Walker,
carrying mail from Potosi to Galena,
and used the old time rock-away
coaches. George Hayes died in Po-
tosi in about 1852. Martin T. Ennor
then conducted the business until 1856
or 81, when he moved to Dunleith and
entered into the same business He
died there many years ago, leaving a
widow and son, William Page Ennor,
who became prominent man Of Dun
leith. The widow subsequently mar
ried Daniel R. Blunt, another old-time
resident Of this section, who had like
wise moved to Dunleith, where he en-
gagged in the business of manufacture
ing agricultural implements. All have
passed to the shores beyond.
The historical old barn went down
in the big fire of 1900, it then being
! owned by George H. Lewis In 1900
Mr.. Lewis built neat little barn on
one of the Smell lots. Some years
later w. ]. Walsh purchased the old
barn and has erected a warehouse on
the lot.
