APPROPRIATION FOR WpA GIVEN

Administration Lea ders Attempting to Get Full

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Admin- istration forces began a battle today to restore the full appropriation of $875 5,000,00 to aid WPA for the next few months.
 Even the most optimistic leaders hold scant hope of success, however.
 One amendment was made to res- tore the full amount requested by President Roosevelt. The House Ap- propriations Committee recommend ed that only SIPS, 100000 was justi- liable to keep the WPA going to June 30.
 A Republican move was blocked to cut the amount still further, down to $350, 100000 for two months end ing April T.

TWO DOG TEAMS
 MU5H OUT FROM
 TULSE0UAH, B. (.
Rescue Plane Grounded by Wet Field for Fifth
 Straight Day

Two dog teams from Tulsequah have been enlisted to take supplies to the stranded Northern Airways party down since last Monday in the Sloko River district some 30 miles inland from Tulsequah. Three men. two drivers and spare man will mush the hazardous distance to the strandees.
 Members of the dog team relief party are uncertain as to whether or not the trip up the Taku River to the Nakina and Sloko rivers can be negotiated due to freakish wealth CT conditions which have conspired all week to disrupt rescue plans. Temperatures ranging from 37 de- grees above zero on the ground to 50 degrees above in the air have melted snow and river ice in the entire Taku River area from Tulse- uuah to Atlin. It is unlikely that the sleds will be able to travel the river course due to open water. They expect to take five days covering the 30 miles.
 Lon Cope, Marine Airways pilot, grounded at Tulsequah since last Tuesday was unable to effect take off today. Weather conditions are good but melted snow and slush on the Polaris- -Taku mine field at Tul- seauah bogs the wheel equipped Fairchild, Cope is using, in such manner that with throttle wide ad- vanced the ship can barely move across the ground. Cope and a crew of helpers got no results from thelr hard labors in attempting to roll and clear a field.
 It is also believed that conditions on the Sloko are similar which would prohibit landing at the site of the accident.
 Cold weather, freezing the slush into a hard surface will present the best solution of the take-off and landing problem.
 Radio contact with George Sim mons at Carcross, owner of North ern Airways, decided on the dog team expedition. Simmons was oi the opinion that it is useless to send ship from Atlin on relief Jaunt as landing conditions in the vicinity of the marooned party are impos- sible.
 No word has been heard from Les Cook, pilot of the plane, which came to a safe forced landing five day' ago. It is believed that Cook ane his four companions have holed III in a trapper's cabin about 6 mile' from the emergency landing site They have food and supplies fol several days. If indications warrant a ship from Juneau or British CO lumbia will fly over the scene ane drop additional essentials.
 Alex Holden, Chief Pilot for Mar inc Airways, in Juneau, has main tained contact with Cope through statoin KANH here and Cope's plane station KHBDL and the Polar-Takr Mine radio CY31. Call letters fol the stranded Northern Airways plane are CFBDz.
 The five men who have beer awaiting rescue for the better par of a week are Les Cook, Northern Airways pilot, passengers Fred Ora ham and man named Landry ane two members of Cope's rescue party who remained on the scene afte! gong in with Lon Cope on the firsi and only successful rescue landine and take-off last Monday, M. | Gray. Juneau representative of tht Northern Airways, and Martin Feist Marine Airways mechnic. Two othel members of the Cook party, Free Kane and Nick Mijavolich, wer' flown by Cope to Tulsequah.

ADMINISTRATIVE COST LOW, SAYS
 AUDITOR REPORT
Territory Spends Only Five Percent for Purpose,
 Boyle Reveals

l Administrative cost of govern ment in Alaska in the past two years amounted to only five per- cent of Territorial expenditures, Auditor Frank A. Boyle reveals in his report to the. Governor and Legislature.
 1 The Auditor notes in his report that employees in Territorial of- fices have increased from 40 in 1886 to 65 at the end of 1888
 So many boards and commis- sions have been created, Auditor Boyle says, that the Territory now has 2l of these, with a total of 94 members.
 Vouchers handled by the Audi tors office have increased in num- Der through the years as follows:
 Total for 1881 -32-13,851.
 Total for 3-34-23,796
 Total for 1885, -36-41,5 ,587
 Total for -38-44, ,6O3
 The vouchers for the latest bien- nium were 2l,892 on the general fund. 4,345 on the school fund. BIO on the Smith-Lever fund, IT, 432 for old age allowances, and 624 miscellaneous.
 Expenditures Classified
 Expenditures of Territorial funds for various purposes were divided as follows: Education 25 percent; Aid to Municipalities p percent; Public Welfare 29 percent: Develop ment of Territory F percent; h. dustrial Development percent, and Administrative percent.
 A total of l65 Corporations quail fled to do business in the Terri tory in the biennium, Auditor Boyle reported.
 During the biennium a total of 3,433 certicicates of birth, 2,637 cer- JlllCdJtS LII Qcdtll, l,UoG ClUlllOdICo of marriage and Is certificates of adoption were filed, making total of 7,737 certificates.
 Duties Increase Greatly Increase in activities of the Audi tors office since 1882 has been tremendous, Boyle reported. Re- ceipts of the office increased POS percent, vouchers 222 percent, cor porations 62 percent and vital sta tistics 28 percent.
 At the same time, Auditor Boyle points out, appropriations for the office were $29,922.82 in the l93l- i 32 biennium and only $29, ,720 in the biennium just ended.
 Further responsibilities were heaped upon the Auditors office by the 1887 Legislature, Boyle states, appealing for substantial in creases in appropriations, if the work of the office is to be properly handled.

OIL AND WATER

Fifty years ago one of the great
national problems related TO watei
supplies for cities. The question was
where to get water for all these peO-
pie. The quantity of water was am
pie. but the problem was one OF
quality. While the answer was being
sought likely a few million people
died from contaminated water. The
scientists and engineers and the
health officials came along with their
cures that included chlorine. plus fill
tration plants, and every device, that
would aid in producing pure water.
About the time the water problem
was being solved a general fear
gripped the country as TO the short
age of oil. particularly during the
great World War. Apparently au-
thOritative estimates were publish
ed which showed. in 1919. that the oil
wells would all run dry by 1899.
Therefore ii seems pertinent to re-
port that recent estimates of oil re-
serves of II 500. 900. 900 barrels of oil
are now ready to be pumped and that
this supply is sufficient to meet any
petroleum emergency that may exist
in years to come. To support the
estimates basic figures show the
daily demand for petroleum is about
1000 900 barrels. Texas alone can
produce 15,000.000 barrels daily.
These statistics concerning oil re-
sources combat the suggestions that
the Federal Government be given
to fix production quotas.
Conservation of oil has been a live
question for many years and every
time some brain-trusting idea is pro-
posed-such as was applied to pigs
and corn control-old Mother Earth
seems to respond with new discover
les of fresh millions of barrels of
oil. The Nations oil wells apparent
ly reach down through the center of
the earth to points near China.
Oil has been as scientifically refin-
I'd as water And ii is our guess that
here IS plenty of oil and water to
last until Noah shall float his Ark
lgain.
