HERRING HARVEST IS BELOW NORMAL
 ASSERTS ARRIVAL

"The herring fishing in the Saw mill Bay district the past season has been a total failure,' states Charles Goyne, who arrived in Anchorage a few days ago and is registered at the Hotel Morrison.
 "Since May 12 we worked but 19 days up to the present time, which to say the least, was not very sat- isfactory. However, the salmon pack ing business was immense and ac cording to information imparted to me the salmon run this year was the biggest that has ever been experienced in that district. According to MT. Goyne it is said that the San Juan Company put up pack of over 40,- 900 cases which is valued at about $25O,OOO.
 MT. Goyne is an oldtimer in the country and was formerly a member of the Fourth Estate having charge in 1906, of the circulation of the Fair banks News, on the creeks adjacent to Fairbanks. His present plans are indefinite, he said, but expected to remain in Anchorage for some time, awaiting the arrival of a brother.

STEEL BRIDGE CONTEMPLATED
 FOR NENANA RIVER CROSSING

A source of annual grief on The Alaska Railroad is to be eliminated in the near future by the erection of steel bridge at Mile 371, where the railroad crosses the turbulent Nena- na river
 The Nenana river crossing has been a source of annoyance ever since the railroad reached that point Every spring and sometimes several times during the summer the temporary bridges would be taken out by ice and flood waters, interrupting traffic for several weeks at a time. After the completion of the railroad to the coast, concrete piers were set in the stream and wooden truss span erect ed, the belief of the railroad manage bridge would meet the requirements. But it did not last long. Within a very short time after the structure was completed a freshet of unusual proportions occurred and the main span was lifted from it's concrete foundations and carried down stream fully one thousand feet.
 Through traffic was re-established after the flood had subsided by means of temporary structure sup ported by piling, similar to the earlier bridges, good enough while it lasts but far from being perma- nent.
 The need of a steel bridge has been long apparent and much dis cussed and now it is about to take definite form, insuring the elimina- tion of further trouble at that point.

With this issue of the Chieitain
new editor assumes the duties of
guiding this community journal
along the road of service to the
people of Holly and its trading
territory. 1t is customary and high
ly essential for the one who as
sumes those duties to make some
statement of his intentions, whetiI-
er they are good, bad or Indifferent.
1t requires no great powers OF
analysis OF communitys future
to see that the pathway of deve
lopment which lies before Holly is
strewn with the luscious fruits Of
prosperity which will add laurels to
her crown and broaden her present
enviable record The local news
paper must share in both the duties
and the honors OF this prosperity.
Whether or not it does so depends

Mr. Mccall 81 came to Lamar and
talked with his drilling partner, Mr..
William Yockey of the Lamar Flour
Mills. and his story corroborates
in every detail what Mr.. ChriSty
told us. The eyes of the entire ma
ton are right now on Colorado as
the next big oil field, and it will
be the easiest thing in the world
to secure all the money needed TO
develop that field
From sixteen to thirteen years
ago the Lamar Oil and Gas Com
pany, composed Of a large number
of Lamar business men, with Sena
tor A. \. Parrish as an officer in
the Company. Morton Strain presi-
dent, drilled three test wells. east
of Lamar In the last well drilled
an unmistakable petroleum pro
duet with a parafine base was
found at a depth of between $500
and 200 feet. This was analysed
by experts at the State University
and found to be 30 per cent high
test gasoline.
Immediately below this strong
flow of water was struck, and an
attempt to ease off the water was
bungled so that the hole was plug
ged. Then 1t was decided to shoot
the well and see what the oil sand
encountered would amount to.
Giant powd>r instead of r. n r.
was used to do this. another blund-
er, and the casing was blown to-
pieces where the charge lay, and
splintered out at the end until it
could not be pulled. Besides this
about eight hundred dollars worth
of tools were lost in the hole.
In the opinion of men who should
know, the well would have been a
producer. Lamar will welcome an
other go at that territory-Lamar
