Billy Patterson

Poor Billy Patterson is dead-in
some cheap grave they stuck him:
let Us go forth with dauntleSS tread
and find the man who struck him.
For years this fend in human form,
unpunished, unmolested, has gone
his way and at the storm of public
wrath he's jested. We all have felt
he should be trailed through tarns
and .deeps and shadows. and
dragged to justice then, and jailed,
and hanged upon gallows But no
one knew just where he went, and
none had time to track him, and so
men voiced their discomfort and
hoped the gods might whack him.
But now that probing is in style,
and records are uncrated. this
ancient crime, SO punk and vile,
>hould be Investigated. Who struck
Bill Patterson, we ask, such vicious
deeds deploring; who soaked him
round1y on the casque, and Knocked
him through the flooring? Our
government has ample means to find
THAI vile assaulter, and ask him why
Ee spilled the beans--let no official
taiteri Send forth the secret service
slough, the ghastly facts disrobing:
let senator's demand the truth, and
keep on probing, probing. Let wit
nesses be summoned forth. from
Troy to Enniskillen. inspect the
south and comb the north, until you
lind that villain. Who Dashed poor
William on the bean, and left his
forehead dented? Until the truth is
known, I ween, well all be discon-
tented

 IN COLD BAY FIELD

A depth of 1900 feet has now been attained by the Standard Oil Company, drilling in the Cold Bay oil district, according to reliable word received in Anchorage on the last mail Hard formation has been en. countered all the way down, making the drilling operations necessarily slow.
 The company was using 15 1-2 inch casing up until short time ago which is to be reduced to a 12-inch casing. The company is drilling in shale and going nicely, according to the report, and will commence to se- ment and place their casing in within the next hundred feet. The indica- tions point to an oil pool being struck in the very near future.
 Superintendent Jones, who was in charge of the drilling operations for the Associated Oil Company at the time this concern ceased activities
 
 last fall, for while, was expected tc arrive in Kanatak shortly after the New Year to resume operations on the Alaska Coil and Finnegan claims, and the people of Kanatak are looking for ward to another boom in Kanatak in the near future. The good reports com ing from the Standard, and the news of work being resumed shortly on the Associated claims, has added confio- ence in the oil camp to the few citi- zens who remained over in Kanatak to spend the winter. The winter pop ulation in Kanatak town is about if. ty.
