Inflation-proof Investments

rometer of business. We saw in June
the domestic demand for motor fuel
increase IL percent above the domes-
tic demand for June year ago De-
mand exceeded the Bureau of Mines
estimate by $4,000 barrels. The oil
industry LEADS in recovery, for the
increase IN other lines of business has
become apparent during July and
August. It follows that if there is
PROSPERITY, then the demand for
crude petroleum is going to exceed
all previous periods in history.

If there were many people who I'M
derstoed oil royalties, there would
be a tremendous rush Of investors to

as cheaply. The fact is that very,
very few people in the United States
know anything about royalties. They
have no conception Of the oil indus

arrived in the station is little known
to the AVERAGE American, let alone
anything Of the relation Of driller and

Even in the oil industry itself, there
are relatively few who know how to
figure royalty values The result is
that the person who has a working
knowledge of royalties has the most
tremendous advantage he can pos

Drill Ling AHEAD
Of 1885 RECORD

Total wells drilled in the United
States during the first four months
Of 1886 we're 6,912 as compared to
e,4Oe in the corresponding period
of 1895; 5,097, in 1894; and 3,453,
in 1888. Oil wells drilled during the
four-month periods of recent years
follow: 4,893, in 1886; 4.535, in
1895; $3.50, in 1894; 2,OSS, in
1888.
Total competitions for 1885 were
21,42O, the highest figure since
1929, when 1856 wells were drill
ed. However, in 1929 only 1872,
or SO per cent OF total competitions,
were oil wells; while 1914, or 80
per cent, we're dry holes. In 1885,
15,1OS, or II per cent, were oil
wells; and only 4,911, or % per
cent were dry holes. Figures for
the past seven years show the trend
toward a larger percentage of oil
wells and a smaller percentage OF
gas wells and dry holes.

- ROSPERTTY is not only here but
a BOOM is at hand, if we can
believe the recognized leaders in
financial prophecy in the United
States. When the Secretary Of Com
merce Of the United States warns a.
gainst boom conditions' it is APP
parent that the trend OF business Is
sharply upward.
Roger Babson, foremost financial
prophet, says the currency initiation
is likely and credit initiation will
come, anyway. He says:
"a more gigantic possibility
Of credit growth never before ex-
isted in this country The 10 bill
lions of gold in the United States
could be expanded TO a grand
total available credit of $50 bill
lions ($25O, OO0, 600, OOO.) This
compares with 66 billions at the
peak Of 1929. Within few years
you are likely to see the great
est spending program and indus
trial activity boom" in history"
Initiation means this:
You have a hundred dollars today;
it will buy you a certain number of
pairs Of shoes, a certain number Of
sacks of flour; certain amount Of
furniture
IF you still have your hundred dol
lars when initiation comes, you viii
still have your currency, it is true,
but it viii buy you only HALF as
MANY pair of shoes; perhaps HALF
as many sacks Of flour and HALF
as much furniture.
The man who keeps his MONEY

What to do with the money! theni
The man who would save his money
from shrinkage will convert it into
something that will BENEFIT by in

AS an example, the purchase of OIL,
in underground storage. No matter
how much boom, the value Of oil win
not DECREASE. A barrel Of oil will
INCREASE in value, along with the
increase in the cost of other commOdi-
ties

FOR. OUTLINES HIS PROGRAM
 FOR BUSINESS
Says Administration Drag ged Private Enterprise
 Out of l933 Pit

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Argu- ing that the Administration has "loosened the grip of monopoly and dragged private enterprise back out of the pit into which it had fallen in 1933," President Roosevelt last night addressed broadcast to a number of business mems banquets throughout the country.
 The President said the New Deal resolved to keep politics out of business" and at the same time i've ask business to refrain from coer- cion in politics"
 The Chief Executive declared that the overwhelming majority of independent individual business men approve what we did to save Ameri- can business and l am equally sure that the handful of monopolistic business men hate what we did for American business" He told the diners that as profits return, values of securities and investments came back.
 We must hold constantly to re- solve never again to become tom- mitted to the philosophy of boom era; to individualism run wild" he declared.

WATERS
 STILL HIGH IN
 SKACWAY AREA
Large Amount of Work to Be Done to Repair Rail-
 road and Highway

Flood waters are still high at Skag- way. although receding some, and there is large amount of work to be done to repair the Skagway high way and the White Pass and Yu- kon Route. according to Assistant Collector of Customs M. s. Whittier and Deputy Collector J. J. Hillard, who returned to Juneau Yesterday on the Tallapoosa after visiting the area on official business.
 The Bureau of Public Roads un- der the supervision of District En- gineer M. D. Williams has made a temporary repair on the old Brack- ett road making possible transfer of passengers from Denver June tion to Skagway and virtually all persons coming out over the route are now across the barrier. Two steamboat crews were still to come over, about 60 men, and it was ex- pected that would complete the traffic for some time.
 It is estimated it will take several weeks to get the railroad operating again and nearly a mile of the Skagway highway between the rail- road and the river is washed out. In addition to the approaches on the bridges a span of the second railroad bridge is out, they report ed.

SITE SELECTED FOR FAIRBANKS
 AVIATION BASE
Hunt Is Instructed to Set Aside Two Tracts for
 Use Army Air Base

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 24.- Definite action toward the estab- fishing of United States Army Air Base in Alaska, near Fairbanks, was taken yesterday in instructions received by R. M. Hunt, Fairbanks representative of the Federal Land Department, to set aside four square miles of land along the banks of the Cinema river, four miles west of Fairbanks, for poSY,le use as the Army's principal aviation base in Alaska.
 The News Miner reports that Hunt has also been instructed to set aside two additional square miles, which may be added to the base. The government owns all the land in the larger tract, but the addition contains some privately owned property The river frontage of the site will permit the landing of pom toon planes.
 The army investigation and sell ection board, consisting of Lieut. Colonel Wilmot A. Danielson, Major Otto B. Trunk and Major Albro L. Parsons, which visited the Terri tory last summer, viewed the site while in Fairbanks during Aug ust.
 The army selection board came to Alaska shortly after a Congress sional Bill providing for the sell ection of suitable base had been passed. However, before construc- ton of the base can be commenc- ed, funds for the purpose must be provided by Congress.
 It is possible that other, smaller Army air bases may be established in other parts of the Territory.

FAIRBANKS FINE SAYS SEN. HESS
 ON WAY SOUTH
Gold Price Has Fourth Division Booming Says
 Senator Vacation Bound

Business and conditions generally in Fairbanks and in the mining districts surrounding Fairbanks look fine, according to Senator Lu- ther c. Hess, prominent Fourth Division citizen who arrived in Ju- neau on the PAA Electra from Fairbanks yesterday afternoon.
 Senator Hess, on his way to the States for a vacation of several months. left on tbe Princess Louise this morning. He is accompanied on his trip by Mrs. Hess.
 Enthusiasm over the results of the increase in the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce was express ed by Senator Hess. The Fairbanks district, he said, is profiting by the present price of gold in the opera tion of many properties hereto fore considered not worth while. New capital from outside and in- creased investments on the part of operators already in the district have done much to build up busi- ness in the Fourth Division town.
 Senator Hess was president of the Senate during the 1885 session of the Territorial Legislature, his sixth session in the Senate, and was Speaker of the House of Repre-. sentatives in 1917. His many inter- ests include mining, banking and real estate.
 Mrs. Hess is member of the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska and member of the Board of Childrens Guardians for the Fourth Division.
 Though they plan to spend the next five or six months in Che States, the Hess's plans are indef- mite. Their trip they say, is celebration of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, observed in August.
