One out of every five drillings for oil in the United States proves to be a dry hole or "duster." The state ment of the Bureau of Mines, in full text, follows:
 From 1859 to 1924 approximately 661, ,679 wells were drilled for oil and gas in the United States, of which 129,S75, or 20 per cent, were dry holes. In 1924, the number of wells drilled for oil and gas in the United States (exclusive of dry gas wells and dry holes in California, for which figures are not available) was 21,S88, which was 2,55O less than in 1923 and 12,023 less than in the record year 1920. Of the total number of wells drilled in 1924, 67 per cent were oil wells; 10 per cent gas wells, and 23 per cent dry holes.

HERRING FISHING |S THREATENED BY
 KILLING WHALES
MAMMALS THREATENED WITH DETERMINATION OF ANNUAL
 SLAUGHTER

At the rate whales are being killed in Southeastern Alaska it is only a question of time when the great man. malls will be exterminated and with them will go the herring, according to fishermen who are well qualified to speak on the question.
 During the past season approxi- mately 600 whales were killed by two big whaling outfits to the westward. This meant a revenue to the whaling stations of approximately $60O,O00. AS far as Alaska is concerned it meant nothing in the way of revenue save the taxes paid.
 Contrary to belief, say experienced fishermen, the whale is one of the most valuable adjuncts to the herring industry. It is the herder of the deep, and drives the fish into shallow wa. ters of the bays and inlets from which the major portion of herring are talk en. It is the habit of the whale to spot the herring when in the deep sea and begin rounding them up into com pact masses to better facilitate feed ing. To escape the attacks of the whales, the herring move inshore These in turn are followed by the sal mon permitting of their capture be- fore the spawning season and when they are at their best.
 The Scandinavian countries early discovered the value of the whale as an adjunct to herring fishing. In fact, according to fishermen from those counties, the whale was the very key note to successful fishing, in many in stances herding the fish into such compact masses that those in the center of the school were forced out of the water. The fishermen always sought the whales of the North Sea, knowing that they would be near the schools of herring.
 With respect to local herring fish, ing, the waters of lower Cook Inlet are the most prolific in the world. The quality of the fish taken has estab- lished them as staple article in the markets of the world. If, as is claim ed, the whales will soon be extermin- ated, the fishermen will suffer untold loss and the industry seriously crip- pied if not actually wiped out.
 Some years ago it was reported that the herring had left certain waters in the North sea, and it was believed they had migrated. It was discovered that the extermination of the whale herds was the cause of disappearance of the fish The Scandinavian coun- tries immediately enacted laws pro- tecting the whales and the fish are again in their accustomed waters.
 The herring fishermen are alarmed at the rate the whales are being kill led to the westward, and it is report ed the matter will be taken up with the Bureau of Fisheries, asking that curtailment be made in the taking of such large numbers of mammals each year.
