PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY OF SEN
 ATOR WALSH OF MONTANA.

The dispatches tell us that movement has been started by tie dfys to bring out ssnator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana as candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination.. sea- ator Walsh is very able man None, probably, better understands Western problems. He has practiced law in Montana since 1890. and has been elected to the Senate from that State three times.
 However Senator Walsh has not been n the best of health for ten years so. Several times within that period he has been seriously i'll. 70 years of age when he would assume the office of President.
 Under the circumstances 1t is obvious that the movement in favor of the Presidential can didacy of the Montana statesman is manenyra in the fight to block the nomination of Gov Smith rather than a serious effort to make h.m Chief Executive of the Nation. It was probably inspired by the unexpected disclosure of the fact that the Western Democracy fayors Gov. Smi tn and by the circumstance that he. like Gov. Smith, is Catholic. The purpose is to get candidate that will take the West away from the New York Governor and one that will make it apparent that the opposition to Gov. Smith is not based on religious grounds.
 If he younger and in better health and standing as a candidate On his own Senator Walsh might very easily become formidable Presidential aspirant But weapon to be used in the battle against the plain choice of large majority Of the Democrats of the Nation he will probably turn out broken reed.

ENRICHED BY OIL SUIT.

If statistcians are anywhere near correct Tn their estimates on the returns derived by the Federal Government from its suit to recover the Elk Hills and Teapot Dome oil leases, that action turned out to be richer than bonanza placer field Claims made that the suit has enriched the Government by some S400 900 900. The figures cited to substantate the claim n- clude: Pan-American Oil Company, controlled by F. H. Doheny, turned back into the Federal treasury as cash $14200,000 turned back in 32, GOO oil lands estimated to be valued at $500 900 900; two large tankage fields built in Hawaii for storage at cost of $12,000, ,000 Mammoth oil Company, the Sinclair corporation, developments at Teapot Dofhe. $3000,0 900; tanks built at Portsmouth N, H.. $1,100000; 9,321 acres. of land contained oil estimated to be worth $55, ,00O, ,000
 About the time the civil suit against MT. Doheny was being aired, he frankly admitted he expected to make profit of $100.00D,000 out of the Elk Hills reserve with estimated de- post of 25000O 900 barrels of oil. Since then Secretary Wilbur has had the field surveyed and instead of Mir. Dohenys estimated 25o,OoO,- 900 barrels the new survey fixes the estimated deposit at 72o000. 900. almost three times as great as the original estimate.
 Owen D. Roberts and former Senator Atlee Pomerene conducted the civil suits for the Gov ernment in these cases. Whatever fee they may be receiving. the Government can well afford to pay it and still be the loser in the deal

Hydro Electric Power in Kenai.
Seward Gateway.)


 Electric power in this age and in future years is the force that will determine the growth of industries and the development of cities as coal and steam did in the last century
 Coal generate electric power. and is gen. erating it in large amounts where water is not available, but electricity generated by water falls is by long odds the most economical power that man has devised.
 The Kenai Peninsula is fortunate in the nat ural advantages it offers in the field of hydro electric developments. The well distributed ram fall and the mild winters in these parts make all year operations possible and economical. Large numbers of mountain lakes and box canyons af- ford additional possibilities for power sites. after the direct facilities have been utilized
 It is easily within the bounds of conversation to say that the total possibilities of hydro electric development in the Kena Peninsula exceeds 50G.- 900 orsepower-probably twice that amount. The mills and industries that such an amount of power will drive would make the Kenai Pen insua one of the worlds busiest centers of manufacture and industry, with Seward as it's hub.
