PUBLISHER SAYS.
 ALASKA MAY GET. NEA CONVENTION. !.
w. H. Conrad, Vice-Presi- dent of Group, Says
 He's Sold"

Alaska stands a good chance of entertaining the National Editorial Association during that groups 1888 convention, in the belief of w. H Conrad, Vice President of the Asso- citation. who passed through Jun eau this morning on the Alaska.
 Conrad is making a round trip on the Alaska with Alaska Steamship tour agent Dor. Eek, to investigate the advisability of his groups choos- ing Alaska for a convention cruise over the bid from Mexico City to have the convention held in that city.
 50 far, I'm sold on Alaska Con- rad said. T really have a strong hunch that the Association will come North next year. If we come, there will be about $50 of us and we will charter the steamer Aleutian.'
 Conrad said the Mexico trip had been made before, and admitted that Tt would be more advisable to visit an American country"
 Vice-President Conrad is pub fisher of a weekly newspaper in Medford, Wisconsin. The paper has a circulation of $500 and is known as the Star News"
 Alaska's daily newspapers in small towns have surprised" Conrad.
 We've got a strong weekly field in the East and Midwest" he said. T know that the editors and pub fishers of small town dailies and weeklies who are members of the NEA, will be just as interested in this annual leaning to small daily newspapers in Alaska as they will be in your scenery and the unique ness of your geographical and pol itical problems"
 MT. Conrad and MT. Eek were met at the boat by Mayor Harry I. Lucas and President of the Chamber oi Comerce, c. w, Carter.
 i While in Juneau, both men calico on Gov John w. Troy.
 l Mir. Conrad was also shown al through the plant of the Empire Printing Company.
 Whether Mexico City or Alasks will be the focal point of the 193i National Editorial Association Con. vention, will be determined at thi' years convention to be held June tN-21-22 in White Sulphur Springs West Virginia
 Mexico is said to be making { strong bid, but Conrad's words 'St far, I'm sold on Alaska" give Al. askans a lot of encouragement.

MOOSE TANCLE WITH ELKS IN
 GAME TONIGHT
Purples Are Undercover Team of League Nc
 Alister, Smith on Mound

First peek at the dark-horse squac of the Gastineau Channel League for this season. the Elks, will ke ac- corded diamond fans here ct Fire mems Park this evening, wren the almost entirely-re-vamped LodGC lineup goes up against the Moose 1T a seven-inning tilt slated 10 ecm- mence at 6:30 o'clock.
 Already more than half composed of new players or players who have not performed in the league during last season. the Elks have this week drawn two more rockies from Leag- ue President William A. Holzheinl- CTS list. The two additional recruits Otto McVey and Herman Russell may get their chance to show in tonight's fracas.
 McVey spent last season in the local league as an umpire, breaking in with the EIks late in the year tc fill an outfield gap for one game in which he did not do at all badly.
 Russell halls from Centralia Washington, where he did bit of outfielding and pitching for the town team. He has looked good in preseason workouts here, and may be just what the Elks need to fill their outfield hole.
 One of the Elk's castoffs from last season, Ralph Bardi, will get a chance in the Moose outfield this evening, most likely, having been as- signed to the Paps this week by Proxy Holzheimer. Bardi covers lots of ground in the outfield, is fail sticker and oiie of the fastest base-runners in the circuit
 For this evenings battle, the Moose will probably field almost the same lineup which dropped very close decision to the Douglas Is- flanders in Sundays opener, but with southpaw Johnny Smith on the mound in place of Bob Kimball. Smith was one of the leagues top chuckers last season and says he is already set for this campaign.
 Opposing Smith, the Elks will most likely work Ward McAlister, a former ace hurler in the local league, who performed notably for Skagway last year. Catching McAl- istcr will be Orin Addleman, trans fer from the Moose, who is touted the most promising receiver in the league.
 In the infield, the Elks will prob ably put e...ier Molly MacSpadden

HAvENSTRITE SEES FUTURE,
 ALASKA OILS
President of Iniskin Co. Receives Good News
 from Operations

Drilling on the properties of the Iniskin Bay Oil Company at Chinit- na Bay, roaming out the old hole put down last summer, shows per haps better oil indications than last fall when drilling was stopped ac- cording to Russell E. Havenstrite, President of the company.
 Havenstrite predicted last fall when he passed through Juneau. that strong oil indications would be found in a few weeks. Before he had reached Seward, he received wire that strong gas had been encountered at 4700 feet.
 Today, on his way back to Chin .itna Bay, flying via Fairbanks, Ha- Venstrite was encouraged over the fact that his brother Homer, in charge of operations, had wired to Juneau that new drilling begun two days ago, has shown free hole" (hole fairly open after settling all winter) and that heavy showings of gas and strong indications of oil have been encountered at 4400 feet
 Havenstrites enthusiasm was eyi- dent in the fact that gas was now being encountered 300 feet higher than at first.
 In addition to the Iniskin drill ings, Standard Oil, Associated Oil, and Union Oil, are also doing ex- tensive drilling work at Jute Bay, in the same area on the Alaska Pen insula as the Iniskin drillings. An other party of geologists has gone into the Yakataga and Katalla Beach country, near Cordova.
 Largely responsible for the pros pecting programs of the big oil companies, Havenstrite blew up the popular Alaskan belief that even should oil be struck in the North, the Government would tie it up in reserves.
 We've made all our arrangements for land leases" Havenstrite said and if we strike oil, there will be a lot of actual production work ir Alaska"
 Concerning the prospecting pro- grams of other companies, Haven strite said much of the record, but did state that "Yakataga Beach will be the next field"
 Mike Sullivan, well known Juneau sourdough, holds extensive oil prop critics in the Yakataga area.
 Accompanying Havenstrite on thlt trip is J. Rowland Paddock, a req estate man from Los Angeles who is a stockholder in the Iniskin Com pany.

Large District to
Be R0adless Area

HELENA.-By a recent order of
John Collier, commissioner of Indian
affairs, more than 125,000 acres of
the Flathead Indian reservation will
be one of twelve such sections made
into roadless areas in which will be
only foot and horse trails, according
TO Information received by Mon
tanans, Inc, the state chamber of
commerce.
One reason for this order making
this part of the Mission range a
wilderness area is the policy of the
Indian Service in emphasizing that
every Indian have the opportunity
of earning his own livelihood. One
important source of his revenue is
the guiding of camping and pack
trips into areas where guide is re-
quired. Such an area will be the
roadless wilderness.
Another important reason was
brought about through the demands
of millions of white people who in
sisted that certain sections remain
in their primitive state so that an
other kind of life, besides the high
ly mechanical one in which they now
live, could be enjoyed
Prior to this time many areas
which would have been ideal, have
been opened by roads which have
never returned anywhere near the
investment put into them. With Col
lier's order, the long step toward
some of the wilderness
in its original state has been taken.
