HURRAH FOR BALHISER!

Chas Balhiser, Alaska delegate to the convention in Columbus of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engnemen, who originally was an Ohioan but for years past resident of Anchorage put over some ex- cellent publicity for the Territory when The Ohio State Journal one of the foremost daies m Ohlo published four Alaskan pictures with appropriate accompanying articles in it's rotogravure section.
 Particularly is Seward pleased for MT. Balhiser was kind enough to include magnificent photograph of Seward and Resurrection Bay, Where Train Meets Ship Seward and Resurrection Bay, Alaska the great harhor which is the terminal of the government railroad"
 "Penty of Ice' is the title of another picture show ing closeup of Spencer Glacier which contains enough ice supply Columbus for many years; third photo graph is Friendly Argument" two brown bears in Mckinley National Park enoying dispute over who is going to take the next bite of choice morse they have found The fourth of the series depicts of Aaskas "Od Swimming Hoes," picturing three lads frolicking in Anchorage stream.
 In brief forward MT. Bahiser is quoted saying that he ofered these photographs proof that there is a. least place in the world where it is possible to keep cool in summer At the time he hastens to explain "hat Alaska not wilderness of ice and snow but land where good crops raised and where sum 1ner is cooly comfortable"
 This is what we term of the finest samples of effective publicity an Alaskan has personally given the press in years. More of such broadminded information will do much to enlghten the nation about conditions in this Northland.

MARINE CR|D|RON |s
 INSTALLED BY JUNEAU
 AT \ COST 0F $2,90O

At a cost of approximately $2,OOO a marine gridiron has been built
 by Juneau at the upper municipal float. The improvement is now m
 use by three halibut boats, which are undergoing overhauling and painting, says the Juneau Empire. Installation of the gridiron re- quired 10 days time. One hundred and 80 piling, including the lean- ing and piling, were necessary. There are two ways, one 136 feet long, which affords room for three boats of ordinary size at the same time, and the other, 40 feet long, which can take two. The gridiron thus can provide accommodations for five boats at the same time.
 The gridiron is at the rear of the Charles G. Warner Co.,, ma chine shop. In the immediate fu- ture a hoist will be erected by the warner company so that engines can be lowered into and installed in boats.
 "The gridiron fills a long-felt want" said Mayor Thomas B. Jud- son, who supervised it's construc- tion. Heretofore boats requiring repairs or overhaul either beached themselves as best they could in the neighborhood of Juneau or went to Petersburg or Ketchikan where gridiron or marine way fa- cilities are available. Any boat needing engine installation had to go to Ketchikan. The gridiron can cradle five boats at once, and the crafts, entirely exposed at low tide, can be subjected to any sort of work. When the Warner Co.,, erects its hoist, engines can be easily low cred into boats on the gridiron.

Biologists have now concluded
that Kevin-Sunburst was a lime
stone island. Circular IN shape, Il
was a low piece OF land producing
from the vast ocean as q result Of
some earlier upheaval. It is de-
finiteiy known that there we're three
distinct npheavals In the formation
Of the Sweetgrass Hills, so this bulge
IN the earth's surface was present
even In Jurassic days.

The seashore around the island
naturally gathered sand. How far
the beach extended out, none knows.
Possibly the sea receded, To be
followed by another lnundation
which deposited black lime on top
OF the white lime on the top OF the
island and that explains why the
drill passed out Of the black lime
directly into white lime at the exact
high" OF the field.

With the water forcing the oil

seems logical that the llghtest part
Of the oil-the gas-should be at the

below the gas should be the oil.

Thus the TANKS OF Kevin-sun-

The idea that Just because It was
''down-flank left the Kelvin slope
without a chance for more oil Is, OF
course, absolutely in error. The
Cut Bank situation proves that.
There Is every reason to expect that
wherever q sand Is found on this

peeted. Only the drill can work out

The Aftermath

The following afternoon,
Graves arose early, early, that
is, for him. He wasn't due at
the office until 6, and he was
out on the street at 3 in the
afternoon. On the corner, he
bought paper. A headline
met his eye.
Jones, steel millionaire, a
suicide"
The reporter was startled.
This was the very man on
whose estate they had been the
previous night; the man they
had both envied. E Eagerly,
Graves read on.
John Jones, multi-millionaire
steel man." the paper stated,
killed himself by putting a
bullet through his brain at an
early hour this morning on his
magnificent estate on Long
Island. He left a rather mys-
terious note which will be in
vestigated by the police.
"T had to do this the note
