With the last ITO feet in blue green limestone and lime shell for mation, identical with the Pennsyl- vania oil fields, it is now expected that oil will be struck at any time in the well of the Peterson Oil As sociation, drilling at Chickaloon and now down 1900 feet.

 Such is the report from Alaska's newest oil fields brought to Seward by Capt. Ivan L. Peterson and Capt. J. J.

The Arrowsmiths were young and

Byrd's eyes was their ommon sense,
They never attempted 10 conceal

they saved their pennies.
They called one evening, but Byrd

Then they sat down and talked like
old friends. Byrd had a feeling that
Chef was more comprchending than
most men, and he looked at her
often, she knew, with sympathetic
understanding in his eyes. but his
lips were scaled against hurting out
her secrets.
