the c. O. P. moguls are tearing their hair and bewailing the fact that corruption in the Federal Government IS again a live issue
 Not that corruption had not been a live issue right along, but not so much had been heard of 1t in recent weeks and the E1e- phant was beginning to believe that it was dead" and was even indulging in the fervent hope that 1t would stay dead"
 In kidding themselves with this belief, the supposedly astute old party men aer making a whale of mistake The public hasn't forgotten, not by long shot and is doing some very lively think ing on the subject. There is every reason to believe that this thinking will translate Itself into votes an Election Day and they will not be votes for the c. O. P. presidential candidates.

STANDARD OIL IN KODIAK

Construction of the new distribut- ing station of the Standard Oil com pany at Kodiak has reached the state where it is possible to announce that the station will be opened about August 8th. Four tanks large en- ough to supply all the possible re- quirements of that region, are being built. Two 10000 gallon tanks will contain Red Crown gasoline, one of the same size will contain Pearl Oil, (kerosene), and 10000 gallon tank will be for engine distillate. These are located at the Erskine company dock, which, with the warehouse thereon, has been leased from Mir. W. J. Erskine.
 MT. Eskine has heretofore handled some of the Standard Oil products, but as the Standard people felt that the time had arrived when a wider range of products and greater facili- ties were needer, they decided to put up their own storage tanks and main tain their own establishment. In addition to gasoline, Pearl Oil and engine distillate, there will be full line of lubricating oils and greases. At present, however, there is no Diesel engine fuel stocked. Large meters are hoipo ipcto1lnd on all nina lines, which will i-tsure accuracy and speed in delivery.
 MT. H. J. Grub, formerly of Pet ersburg and Ketchikan, where he has had much experience with the Com pany, will be in charge of operations. The establishment of the station at Kodiak is a concrete indication of the confidence of the Standard Oil Con- pany in the permanent possibilities of business in this district of Alaska

Helen-Maria Are Names
 of Chas. Dawes Sisters

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Hell an Maria," heralded by the press as the picturesque invention of Charles G. Dawes, Republican candidate for the vice presidency, turns out not to be cuss word after all.
 It is nothing more devilish, it is learned, than an innocent ,abbreviat- ed contraction of the names of two charming sisters the former Misses Helen and Maria Buell., who were campus belles back in Marietta Col lege, Ohio, when the general was a freshman there. All the students swore by them-without being pro- fane.
 "So at last the truth about Char lie Dawes famous phrase has come out" said the former Miss Maria Buell., now Mrs. Donald P. Hart, of New York.
 "The ohrase isn't 'cussing' and never was. It is nothing more than a lucky slogan, like some of our slang phrases of today, and is not intended to be profane. General Dawes fell into the habit of using it back in the days when he was freshman at Marietta College. have heard him use it thousands of times while he was a student, and he was not the only one.
 "You see," Mrs. Hart continued Helen, now Mrs. Karl Anderson, of Westport ,and I lived on the camp us at Marietta ,and-I say this with all modesty-we were quite popu- lar with the college boys at the time. We knew all of the Dawes boys well-had been playmates with them from childhood. The phrase Hell an Maria was undoubtedly de- rived fro m a combination of our names, Mrs. Anderson furnished the Hell part of it and I the Maria.
 "After his testimony before the Investigating commission in Wash ington, Charlie Dawes visited us here and explained why he used some strong language on that oc- casion. He said that he merely wanted to wake the country up to the seriousness of the situation and the folly of the proceedings. He thought the best way to do that was the picturesque manner which he adopted.'
 Mrs. Anderson, "the hell part of it." in her sisters words, who was with Mrs. Hart during the inter- view, smilingly endorsed everything her sister said. A third sister, Mrs. Creelman, widow of the author and war correspondent, James Creelman, also seemed to relish the Hell an Maria" joke.
