CONDITIONS IN
 OIL DISTRICT
 TOBESUJRVEYED
EDGAR S. YOUNG, OF PORTLAND, SAYS HAS AMPLE CAPITAL AVAILABLE IF FIELD IS REC OMMENDED

Apparently there has been no au- thentic oil news emanating from the Cold Bay region in recent months, in fact news from the district is be- ing withheld from the public. I de- cided a few weeks ago, in the Port land office, that I would take run up to the district and obtain first hand information. Providing the field looks promising, upon recom- mendation to certain interests, un- limited capital will be released for development work which will start immediately. So stated Edgar s. Young, president of the Oregon-Al- aska Development Co.,, Inc, in the State of Oregon, with offices in Portland, who arrived in Seward on the steamer Yukon and who is going to Kanatak on the steamer Starr, next week. He will remain on the ground for probably two months. During his stay in Seward he is a guest at the Hotel Seward
 One Original Locators.
 Mr Young's claim, 1,S00 acres, is adjacent to the Ben Poindexter and Star group of claims, squarely in the heart of the reputed oil field. MT. Young made a brief trip to the An chorage land office the first of the week for the purpose of transacting business in connection with ar ranging to take over another claim in the oil district.
 Especially to those showing good faith in their intentions, the govern ment is very lenient to original hol- ders, Mr. Young stated. A few can- celations are taking place at the present time but the moment the time expires the claims are relied on.
 Two-Year-OId Company.
 The Oregon Alaska Development Co.,, was organized two years ago, Mr. Young said, and among his as sociates are his brother, w. E. Young, who heads the Astoria Railway Go. and also the Linton Transfer Co.,; D. NJ. Hart, president of the Great Northern Brokerage Company, of Portland MT. Young himself, is a i. sourdough of the North, having first come to the Territory 30 years ago.
