HOPE SEEN FOR BOAT HARBOR IN

Delegate Dimond, Col. Wild Both Optimistic Over
 Projects Chances

Prospects for work to start this year on Juneau's $232,000 small boat harbor are good at the time according to information to Mayor Harry I. Lucas from Delegate An thony J. Dimond and Col. H. J. Wild, Army District Engineer at Seattle.
 In reply to an inquery, Col. Wild wired the Mayor: Prospects of securing funds for the Juneau small boat harbor this year are very good"
 Delegate Dimond in a commun- ication to Mayor Lucas said the provision for the small boat harbor here was included in the rivers and harbors appropriation bill for non- military activities by the War De- partment and if the bill, which already has passed the Senate, is finally approved the project will be built without delay"

fields Beal made the present drill ing programs in Alaska possible.
 The current prospecting by Union Oil. Standrad Oil, and Associated Oil. is being carried forward on ground which Beal located and aid ed in contracting for.
 "Alaskans should get lot of en- couragement from this extensive drilling work by these three big companies as we'll as our own small outfit" Beal said. Whereas, if we drill a dry hole, those other com panies can drill several dry ones before they give up. I think it is inevitable that oil will be drilled in ] Alaska"
 Beal bases his confidence in All askan oil on favorable geological formations Oil is associated with sedimentary rock deposits, and us- ually, "the deeper and thicker they are, the better"
 Present drilling at Chinitna Bay is now going through sedimentary rock of the Jurassic period in geo. logic history, the youngest rock in which oil has been found in any quantities. Most recent oil discover ies in the Sun Dance Formation m Wyoming, where several wells have been struck, have been in rocks of the Jurassic age.
 The Jurassic formations in Wyo- ming, are comparatively thin, how ever,' Beal said today. "In Alaska the. thickest Jurassic formation in America has been found"
 If oil is struck in Alaska, it will mean cheap gas and oil for the Ter ritory," Beal said He added, that should oil be found, and large oil field develop, Alaska would find itself in a favorable position in the world of oil, by reason of it's geo. graphical position.
 Last year the Japanese bought great deal of oil from California, and with more stable times in the Orient, there should be an expand ing market there" Beal said. If AL aska produces oil. it will only be a hop and jump from the Oriental market, and Alaska will be able to ship oil to the Orient for less than half what it costs to ship it from California, and too, there will be a measure of local consumption in Alaska-and gasoline will not cost anywhere near the prices in the Territory that it does now"
 The Iniskin people have spent to date, somewhere around S600,000 in prospecting their present well. Beal will remain at the drillings for about a month before coming out.
 Asserting that the hole is still prospect and not well in any sense," Beal said, You know, you can't pipe 'showings' of oil and gas"

CAP PISTOLS ARE STILL PERMITTED IN CITY LIMITS
Council Puts Ban on Fire works But Declares Toy
 Guns Won Disturb Sleep

Juneau will celebrate nice, qulet Fourth of July with only cap pis- tols permitted this year, if an or dinance passed by the City Council last night is enforced. The new city regulation prohibits the sale and firing of all kinds of fireworks, from the well known lady fingers to the mighty skyrockets, within the city limits. Cap pistols, however, it was stressed by the Council, are not included in the drastic ordin- ance. It was emphasized that these celebration weapons will not keep any one awake, which, it was stated, is the principal idea of the new regu- lation-to preserve the sleep of the residents of the community.
 The Council postponed for another two weeks action on the proposed new liquor ordinance which would set 3 am. closing regulation on beverage dispensaries. The Police Committee said it wanted to give the matter further study
 A petition signed by majority of the business houses of town was presented asking that the Port of Juneau be closed from midnight to 6 am daily, the object being to further tourist business in the com munity. The petition stated that American ships arrive in port now at all hours and, of late particular ly at night, with the result that travellers aboard have no opportun- ity to spend money in Juneau or to see the city. The practice is fol- lowed by both Seattle and Honolulu, the petition said, with favorable re- suits. The Council tabled the re- quest until later meeting.

OIL OFFICIAL HAS FAITH IN
 ALASKA FIELD
Carl BeaI, Vice-President of Iniskin Company
 On Way West

Alaska has bright future in oil, and if a single well is struck, that future will be assured, in the opin- ion of Carl Beal, VicePresident of the Iniskin Oil Drilling Company, and a director of Tidewater Asso- ciated.
 Beal arrived in Juneau aboard the Baranof this morning and was to take passage with PA for Fairbanks this afternoon and thence back to Anchorage, enroute to the scene of his companys drilling in Chinitna Bay on the Alaska Peninsula
 Most recent news from the drill ing, received by Beal, said the drill hole was down 5200 feet Ca week and a half ago. and gas and oil showings were persisting, although in not great enough quantities to warrant a test as yet
 Beal said at the Gastineau Hotel this morning, There is no certain indication, of course, that we will strike oil. If we drill it dry, we've just spent lot of money, but then again if we hit it, it will be wond- erful thing for Alaska"
 Vice-President Beal, a petroleum geologist who has been in oil work since 1913, has been figure that stands out in the list of Alaska oil boosters.
 Beal located and encouraged sup port of his belief in AlaSka's oil pos abilities, six years ago. With the CO., operation of Earl Grammer, of An chorage, who holds oil permits in the Alaska Peninsula prospecting

as soon as official election returns
are certified, . procedure expected
to require only q few days.
Although their business is puny
compared to Elkton, Maryland's

against which the new law was
principally directed, Rockville and
Upper Marlboro have been patron
tied literally by Washingtonians
since the District of Columbia 72-
