O|L DRILLING HAS
 STARTED KANATAK j. w. M'cORD GIVES OUT lNFOR- NATION THAT ASSOCIATED
 OIL IS NOW WORKING
Seattle TimeS)

Drilling for oil in the Cold Bay dis trict of Alaska has been begun by the Associated Oil Company, according to information J. w. McCord, former general manager of the Westward De- velopment Company, registered at the Frye Hotel, has received from the oil fields by way of Anchorage. The West ward Development Company is the corporation of Seattle and Portland capitalists which acquired the claims for the Associated Oil and the Stand ard Oil 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 list.
 News of the sinking of the first oil drill into the soil of the Alaska benin sula was brought to Seward from Kan atak, Portage Bay, by the captain of the Starr, which plies between the two points. The drilling began 10 days ago, MT. McCord said. The Associated Oil outfit has 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 Oil, with whom the General Petroleum Co. is interested in the initial cost of the prospect we'll, have their wells with in three-quarters of mile of one an- other in Pearl Creek, IF miles from Portage Bay, where the camp supplies and drilling machinery and crews went in late last summer.
 Mir. 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 commercial quan7 tities-will be given up eventually and that Wide Bay, seven miles to the west of Portage Bay, may the ifarbor adopted.

CHIEF RECOMMENDS
 LASH FOR PEDDLERs
 OF POISONED DRUGS

TORONTO, February Police chief Samuel J. Dickens recommends the lash for persons convicted of ped ding narcotics. Imprisonment is not sufficient deterrent upon those living on the profits derived from the sale of drugs to addicts, he declares, and fines are usually paid by the higer-ups in the traffic.
 Police records for the year show a heavy increase in the number of con- victions under the Drug Act.
 The provincial penal law already provides the use of the lash on high way robbers whose victims are cruel ly treated.

Broadly speaking. the Giants to-
Jay are still as they were when they
finished last fall. the same champions
that took the YGnks into camp in
1922. The winter apparently has
been kind TO all of them. 1t has not
increased their number of gray hairs,
nor does it seem to have added much
OF that which is the bane of baseball
players and belles-fat. At any rate.
if any of them had surplus fat when
they first got here. they have worked
it off. not worried it off, for the
Giants arc not the worrying kind.
Naturally. the first thing that
comes up in n discussion of the Giants
is the matter Of pitchers. Over in
Florida a rival manager hit the pin
on the head. when he said:
"Yes. they are again saying the
Giants have no nitching staff. They
said it all last year and again Just
previous 10 the worlds series. Now
they're saying it again. 1t makes me
laugh"
Ii the Giants have greater hitting
strength from the outfielders in 1923
the chances 10 cop again have been.
Of course. greatly enhanced. Many
of the managers the writer has talked
to during the trim about the camps
agree that il the Giants pitching staff
is strengthened the New York Ma
tionals will get the pennant
O'ConnelI the Attraction.
The attraction at San Antonio since
his arrival has been O'COnnell. that
California ball player who cost the
New York management 10000 hard
turn-stlc dollars. He has been sta
toned regularly at center field where
he has shown some gratifying familiar
ity in running down long flies and
catching them. When he was out in
California he played first base one
year but McGraw didn't want him
for a first-baseman.
