POSSIBILITIES OF AN
 ARCTIC OIL FIELD

Former Gov William Sulzer, who prepared and had his Congressman, Representative Nathan D. Perlman, of New York City, introduce in Congress a bill providing for the ex- tension of the Alaska Railroad to the Arctic and making au appropri- ation for a preliminary survey of a route is a firm believer in the wealth of the oil fields near Point Barrow, which are being investigat- ed by the Government. His belief is so strong that he thinks the Gov ernment will want a railroad to the fields within q few years. hence the bill providing for the prelimi- nary survey. At one time Coy. sulzed favored the division of AL aska into three Territories. He now believes that would be a mis- take for he thinks that each sec ton of 1t eventually will be deYel- oped in such a manner as to con- tribute it's share to the wealth of the commonwealth. He thinks We shall have a State in Alaska within the lifetime of many of those who are now in middle life.
 What the effect would be on AL aska if a vast oil field were devel- oped on the Arctic is largely a mat ter of conjecture. though it is we'll within the possibilities-it is even probable-that it would result in railroad construction into that part of the Territory. If so, naturally there would be more or less devel- opment along the entire route of the railroad in the course of time. Juneau Empire.
