Belief that Names motor registra-
tion laws as applied to out-ol-State
tourists who remain in the State dur
ing the summer for more than thirty
days should be modified, either by
extending the time limit or by max
ing the fee smaller and rated in
proportion to the amount of time
spent in Maine, has been expressed
by officials of the Maine Publicity Blu
reau. At present, out-of-State tour
lists who come to Maine in the yaca-
tiOn season may remain here for
thirty days without taking out State
registration for their cars. After the
thirty day period, however, they IhGe.
pay fun fees for their registration IN
the State, the same fees that year
round residents pay This condition
has brought many complaints and
has caused u large number to leave
the State earlier than they would
otherwise have done.

OLD TIMER MAKES
 TRIP DOWN YUKON

Thirty-seven years ago F. L. Moi fatt, of Chillicothe, Texas, made a trip down the Yukon in 1887, long be- fore the Klondike was discovered and before the first prospector went into the Panama. MT. Moffatt went to Juneau in 1884 and drifted over to the Yukon in 1887. He floated down the Yukon with two companions, men named Powell and Brown and tray eled up the Kokukuk river 400 miles in search of gold
 There were no white habitations along the river in those days and the Indians had no homes such as they have today, living in rude brush hogans,, which were occupied a few months in the summer. Settlements such as Circle, Rampant and Panama were then new camps.
 This year MT. Moffatt made an other trip down the river, and will arrive in Seward tomorrow on his way home to Texas. He has greatly enjoyed the trip but finds conditions greatly changed.

STARR WILL BE PACKED
 WHEN SHE SAILS MON.

When the steamship Starr sails Monday she will be packed with ex- and passengers en route to the Far West. The Seward Cham Der is going in force and will have the time of their lives. Leon Urbach will occupy the nut house, having been assigned cabin Mo- l; Orlander, Hannon and Selby have quarters in the brig. Charles Hinde has fitted up coZy corner in life boat number two; Oscar Anderson has decorated his shinbones an ultramarine blue and will be kept from the first table un- til the other passengers have chance. Art Shonbeck is taking along the latest in Ford lingerie, neat but not gaudy; Ray Larson will have the badges won at the latest trap shoot and Doc Edmunds will be kept busy telling the ladies the latest Seattle jokes, dry but expensive.
 If Capt. Johansen returns with three gray hairs where one grew be- fore, lay it to his anxiety to get the bunch back safely. If the crowd gets by Kodiak safely they still have Andy Grosvold at Sand Point to reckon with

KANATAK LOOKS FOR GIGANTIC
 OIL RUSH INV THE NEAR FUTURE

ed at the upper end, and with a depth of water sufficient for all draft ves- sells.
 The town proper is located on a small lagoon at the head of horseshoe bay, and consists of the new town built by the oil boomers, and the native town, inhabited by the primitive abor- iginee, whose commercial value to the community must yet be proven.
 Among the early boomers to an- nounce their faith in Kanatak and es- tablish businesses there were Gabriel Santos, who formerly conducted res taurant in Seward, and is in the same business in Kanatak; Robert Mcintosh, merchant; Derrick Lane, realtor; Ed Maddox, who runs pool hall; Chas. Madsen, merchant, H. N. Evans, mer- chandise and fur, and several others. These men have gone on thru all the attending the uncertainties of drilling and have shown their faith by keeping up their stocks and boost ing unanimously for the camp.
 Kanatak today is well advertised and hundreds of investors are only waiting for the viscid fluid to hit the derrick blocks before hurrying to par ticipate in the latest strike.
Seward daily gateway., 1924-07-12

Residents of Kanatak look for a gi- gantic oil stampede as soon as the Standard rig taps the vast reservoirs supposed to be underlying all the sur rounding region. And that there is foundation for their belief is shown by the rig now being in the oil sands, the penetration of the oil stream being the matter of but a short time. Those of us who have witnessed a gold stam- pede know what will happen when the news of the strike is radiod out to the world. Hundreds upon hundreds of eager investors will flock to the new field and these will be the usual camp followers anxious for a sure thing, who will make a city out of camp
 In case oil is tapped in any consid- erable quality at the Standard wells, one of the first acts of the company will be to construct pipe lines to salt water ,and erect vast storage tanks to hold the precious fluid. In case safe harbor cannot be had at Kanatak, and there is no reason why one can not be made by the construction of seawall, the shipping point will prob ably be Wide Bay. This is small har- hor to the westward, nearly landlock-

PULQUE, NATIONAL DRINK
 IN MEXICO, TO BE. BANNED

MEXICO CITY, July 12-Mexico's national beverage, pulque, is soon to be placed under ban according to a new government policy, which is also reflected in the platforms of two rival candidates for the presidency.
 Consumption of the seductive bever- age is widespread. The barren lands on which nothing else will bloom are luxuriant with the maguey plant. A hollow is fashioned in the center and into this quite quantity of sap ac- cumulated. Natives gather it industri- ously and permit to ferment. Within a few days it is on the market, selling so cheaply it is known as the poor mans drink.
 It looks like milk and tastes like apple cider. The alcoholic content is usually about three per cent, but there is some other ingredient which pro- duces a drowsiness like drug.
 The government believes the aboli- tion of pulque would be of tremendous benefit to the natives and the nation.

No town in Alaska has a better flu ture ahead of it than Kodiak" remark ed commercial man to the Gateway this week, following visit to the Is- land metropolis. Resources in fishing, grazing, farming and other industries are unlimited and have scarcely been touched. At every port we stopped on Kodiak island we noticed particularly the steady increase in population over last year. And ,as commercial trav- eler representing one of the standard staples, let me say right here that Ko- diak is the one camp to the westward whose purchase of goods in my line has increased. Were I a young man I would acquire property at Kodiak and sit back and let it grow into riches for me. Land to the westward will be worth money in the near future. I look for the hills around Kodiak to be covered with herds of sheep and rein deer within very short time."

PORTLAND BUSINESS
 MAN VISITS SEWARD

MT. F. N. Warren, who passed thru Seward on the last trip of the Redon- do,, was entertained while here by Captain Johansen of the Steamer Starr. MT. Warren in addition to be- ing heavily interested in the Salmon industry in Alaska, is one of the most prominent of Portland business men, being Chairman of tle Port of Fort land commission.
 Mir Warren state1 while here, that it would pay any of the business men cf Seward making the trip to the Westward, to take the time if possible, and visit the headwaters of the West ern salmon streams, and see to what extent the Western" packers had gone to protect the Salmon by clean ing up these streams and removing the trout, which are so destructive to the spawn. MT. Warren stated that they had cut open trout with twelve or fourteen small salmon spawn in their stomachs, and that the trout in a few hours would digest these and dig down into the gravel, destroying the spawn as they came out into the streams. The packers to the westward on their own initiative have been spending ap- proximately s15,000 per year in the work
 Remarking of the legislation just passed for Ire preservation of salmon thru restricted areas, and the power of the Secretary of Commerce to reg ulate methods of catching and amount of catch, MT. Warren stated that he believed it would help to conserve the salmon, provided the war on the nat ural enemies of tlc salmon, and the care Cf the salmon streams was not neglected. No individual is more con- cerned in perpetuatIng the salmon l, ' dustry than the packer, said Mr. Way- ren He has made q tremendous invest mont, and annually makes great out lay of funds to catch, can and market salmon, and their restruction would
 lean a complete io,j to him, for the Investments that have been made in this industry, wouli thereby become a toial loss; there would remain roth- ing that cou(l r1Qy.' CT salvaged MT. Warren complimented highly, the initiative of the Seward business men, in seeing first hand the condi- tions to the westward, and was very optimistic over the possibilities of Stewards future, stating that we were ideally located to become the metrop- olis of Alaska and that he would lend us all assistance possible in any mat ters wherein we desired outside as- sistance. He said he woud immediately bring any pressure he coflld to assist local residents and mariners coming into this port in getting better ship to shore service thru radio stations, and would probably see some of the Sewardites on their arrival in Bristol Bay.

 SAYS VISITOR TO ISLAND CITY

Continuing he declared that the eli mate at Kodiak was fine in the winter and superb in summer I know men who have spent the greater part of a quarter century on Kodiak island who are more vigorous today than younger men in the states"
 Kodiak nas an agricultural station that is making rapid strides in show ing the world the fertility of her soil, and the advantages of the island as grazing center cannot be overestimat- ed. With the establishment of a Standard Oil station at Kodiak many small boats will be placed in operation and the fishing banks lying virtually at the door of the town, assure an in- creasing payroll. may be preju- diced, but Kodiak to me looks like a commercial center of importance, which has been overlooked by capital investing in the Territory"
