Second Hour

The big feature of the late morning
was the fact that French francs on
the official foreign exchange broke
through S.OO04 each. The quotation
around 11:45 was s.0399a4, off .OO0S1z
from the previous close for a new low
record. However, this break in ex-
change rates found no reflection in
the general market, the trend of
which remained sedately undisturbed
by developments abroad and advances
in individual stocks continued with
practically no selling pressure to
check the movement.

BANDIT KILLED AS HE RAIDS BANK
 AT KENT
IDENTIFIED AS LIONEL E. GROW, GRANDSON OF BUILDER
 MORMON TABERNACLE

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 6.-An uni identified bandit was killed at 800 o'clock this afternoon by citizens, just after he had robbed the Kent Nation al Bank of $15,oOO, and had shot and perhaps fatally wounded City Marshal Fred Grant, who attempted to arrest the outlaw.
 Grant had drawn gun and was trying to take aim at the outlaw, who was sheltered behink w. s. Over ]ook, president of the bank. When Grant fell the chase was taken up by armed citizens, who speedily killed the outlaw.
 The dead bandit was later identi- fed by his widow as Lionel Edward Graw, 2S, wayward scion of one of Utah's oldest and most highly re- spected families, and a great grand son of the builder of the Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake city. Grow was formerly an electrician in the 70. s. Navy. His widow has beer working here as shop girl

STRIKING OF GAS IS FAVORABLESIGN

DRILLING OPERATIONS SUSPEND. ED WHEN STRONG FLOW OF.
 GAS AND WATER HIT
Especial to The Gateway


 KANATAK, Dec. 6.-Drilling oper- ations were suspended by the Stand ard rigs at the Pearl Creek Dome when strong flow of gas and water came over the top of the casing at rate said to have been about 1000 barrels per day. The gas a had strong petroleum odor and came up while the drill was at depth of 5000 feet Drilling was then stopped and the hole plugged at the bottom so that preparations to cement off the water could be made. The last ce- menting job was said to have been a failure on account of a pump fail- ing to function properly at the criti- cal period.
 The striking of gas is the first flaw orable sign that the Standard has had in this hole. While it does not mean an oil well, it is still favor able indication. However, there is little chance for the bringing in of we'll, if oil is found, before the ap- proach of spring.

Fox-farming has developed on a large scale and the growth of this industry justifies the establishing of fox-farming experimental stations in Southeastern and Southwestern Al aska.
 Territorial Paternalism.
 Alaska emulates and practices Uncle Sam's spirit of paternalism in zealously guarding the welfare of it's people. The helping hand is extend ed in many directions. Probably no State in the Union is quite so gen. erous or vigilant in looking after it's white population. In theory, the Government takes care of the other half-the Indians and Eskimos.
 Aims houses are unknown and poverty is seldom in evidence. Ade- quate provision is made for the re- lief of destitution and the care of dependent children, and worn out or afflicted prospectors find a haven in the Pioneers Home at Sitka. Hard ships encountered in the wilds are rarely accompanied by hunger, as game and fish abound and bene- ficient nature supplies bodily wants. Shelter cabins are maintained on the trails and funds are always available to organize searching par ties for the rescue of lost persons.
 An old age pension system SUD- plements these helpful Territorial agencies and further insure the com fort of those in need Originally

NUSHAGAK RIVER DISTRICT WELL
 UNPARALLELED
MESSRS. LEE AND RUSSELL RE.
 TURN FROM EXPLORING e MULCHATNA DISTRICT

Hank Russell, who with Jack Lee, another old timer of the Kanatak dls- trict explored the Nushagak river as far as the Mulchatna and Kokuak this summer, is in town on his way to the States Speaking. of his trip this summer, MT. Russell stated that he and MT. Lee had found no oil indi- cations, but were greatly surprised at the fertility of the Nushagak river and it's tributaries The two men left Kanatak on the July trip of the Starr, returning in August. They journeyed from Dillingham; up the Nushagak in a power boat, finding the river wide and deep with but little current. Evi- dences of minerals were seen in many places, and at the mouth of the Null chatna they found R. A. (Butch) Smith, an old time Fairbanksan who was the former locator of the pay !, streak at Watermoose creek in the Good News Bay district, Albeert John son, another old timer from Fair banks, Fred McGurry, and Nels An derson, working some placer ground, with splendid indications. A few fish ernitn Were also in the district en- gagged in trapping.
 The country is we'll timbered with vast groves of spruce and cottonwood and the river is navigable for several hundred miles. Several herds of rein deer, belonging to the natives at Kok- uaak, are in the hills. The end of the Nushagak river is but a few hours portage from streams flowing into the Kuskokwim. Short trips were made thru the district surrounding x.he mouth of the Mulchatna, but no indications of oil were found.
 MT. Russell stated from where he and Mr. Lee were located high range of mountains were to be seen, not on the maps. This substantiates the story given the Gateway by Duke B. Stubbs, who explored and mapped the district from Kolmakofsky.
 Frank Waskey, we'll known in Sew ard, is running trading post at Wood river. He is reported to have some good prospects on the Tiktik.
 On the way back to Kanatak MT. Russell and Mr. Lee prospected in the vicinity of Belkofsky, without re- 2 suits.

 A Homogeneous Country.
 Improved transportation facilities are making a homogeneous country of Alaska Widely removed sections have been brought into touch and relationship by the operation of the government railroad and the build ing of roads and trails. Divergent interests of yesterday are merged into the common cause of general upbuilding of today. Distinctive frontier aspects are disappearing year by year. A journey that once consumed a fortnight or month by dog team is now made quickly by train of truck, and an airplane mail service from Fairbanks to Iditarod has furnished added proof of mod ernization. Automobiles have come into use throughout the Territory. The Richardson Highway-still called a trail-is fairly alive with motor touring parties during the short Summer season. Juneau, with thirty odd miles of road has nearly 300 licensed automobiles and all the coast towns maintain a taxi service. But roads and roads and still more roads and trails are still essential to the opening of the great domain Countless acres in the interior and vast stretches on the islands have never been traversed or prospected
 Further impetus was given to mining during the year, especially in the Fairbanks district, on the Seward Peninsula, and on the islands of Southeastern Alaska.
