Shortage Of Funds Prevents
 Further Pension Allowances

Owing to the lack of funds, due to an insufficient appro- priation by the Legislature, no further pension allowances can be granted under the Old Age Pension Act, according to all authorized statement made February 1 by Lockie McKin- non, Treasurer of the Board or Trustees of the Pioneers' Home which administers the act. MT. McKinnon explained the sit- uation as follows:
 There are now 191 pension CTS on the roll, of which 166 ar men and 25 women. The last legislature increased the allow ance to men from $12.50 to $25.00 per month and to won- en from $25.00 to $45.00 per month, but did not increase the appropriation to meet such increase. The effect of this fail ure to provide funds is that over one-third of the approprI- ation of $6O,OO0, or to be exact, $21,755.25, has been disbursed

 ed balance on hand of only $38,2444.75. Even with no more allowances and continu-
 ing the roll as it exists today d
 deficit of $13,24O would ensue.
 "The Board now finds that IL will be necessary to curtail the allowances for the remainder of the biennium in order to keep within the appropriation. A curtailment has been avoid- ed until the winter is over, but without such reduction at the end of this quarter, no money will be available for the next winter. season and the benefic- iaries of the act would receive nothing. It is believed to be the wiser and more humane policy to reduce the allowances for the remainder of the biennium rather than to leave needy ones without any relief for sev-, eral months"

DRAKE ARRESTED ON
 FALSE ACCUSATION

Sidney Drake, whose arrest in Seattle on a Minneapolis charge was reported in these columns last week, has been entirely exonerated by the Minneapolis authorities, ac- cording to Seattle papers.
 It appears that the charges that Drake was guilty of a vio- lation of a Minnesota law for bidding the sale of stocks with out a license were made by a disgruntled stockholder in the Kassan Gold Company, of which Drake is president, and were false in every way. The charges were dismissed by the prosecuting attorney of Minne- apolis on the ground that there was no cause for action, no violation of the law, and that the sale of stock which was the basis of the charge against Drake and several of his fellow directors was a resale made by an authorized and licensed broker, Ihe directors having had no hand in the transaction.

CORRESPONDENT TELLS
 OF PAVLOF ERTrTICN

< correspondent of the Sew
 ard Gateway, writing from the
 own of Belkofsky, situated
 9car the foot of Mt. Pavlaff, describes the recently report- ad eruption of the volcano as 1 z flows:
 "On January 6, Mt, PavioT, which has been smoking fos n:onths, again erupted, ac- companied by violent earth q1ake shocks and pitchy dark n2ss, the shocks lasting for sev- eral minutes and accompanied by a violent electrical display. 'The natives were very much frightened and started to pack their things preparatory to leaving the village, but they were finally calmed down by Rev. Hotovitzky, who went from house to house assuring them that the danger would soon be over. Since the erupt- ion the volcano is throwing out a huge column of smoke and steam, and residents of the viii lage believe it is only a quest ion of time until the top blows of the mountain, as was the case at Nit Katmai. It is hard to understand the terror of living under an active volcano, Ly people who do not see these things; the black darkness, the violent explosions, the falling rocks and lava, the lurid flash Of lava thrown high in the air, Ell produce a feeling of help lessness and terror that must be experienced to be believed. If this is so with the whites, what must it be to the untutor- ed and uneducated native"

 COAL ON PACIFIC COAST

Oscar Anderson, Anchorage business man and president of the Evan Jones Coal Co.,, the largest coal producer in the Matanuska field, is now in the States endeavoring to either purchase or charter a steamer n which to transport coal di- rect from the mine to the out tide markets. The company plans on ship of about 1000 tons register. The vessel will not engage in the passenger carrying trade but will be em- ployed in carrying freight ro Alaska ports when not busy carrying coal.
 A depth of 200 feet has now been attained by the Standard Oil Company, drilling in the Cold Bay district, according to reliable advices received in Anchorage. Hard formation has been encountered all the way down, making the drilling operations necessarily slow.
 The company is using a 15-in- oh casing, which is shortly to be reduced to a 12-inch casing. The drilling is in shale and go- ing nicely. The indications point to an oil pool being struck in the very near future, the advices say.
