biological Branch, Gas Substitutes
for Coal, testified that:
We cannot look forward to gaso-
line obtained by synthetic process
to replace our gasoline require
ments.
All coal except anthracite are suit
able sources of motor fuel when
needed.
II. c. Miller. Senior Petroleum.
Engineer, San Francisco, gave the
following information in reply to
questions
More oil fields will be discovered
than dry gas fields although most
gas comes from oil-gas wells.
II we didn't find another
field we would still be prOduc-
ing oil fifty years from now
although not at the present rate
of production.
The trend of we'll spacing is
toward spacing wells farther apart.
Many wells drilled in closely
spaced fields have been unneces-
sary
The only way the government
could help would be to make It
easier for small operators to COM
blne in larger units. In other words,
override the rule Of capture
All oil fields in the United States
would be affected by this bill.
This is only my opinion, but /
can't see why 1t would be any
easier for a federal official to en-
force this than for the states.
Mr.. Miller, when asked what the
Commissioners could do to remedy
conditions, should he find wasteful
conditions due to close spacing in
the East Texas field, stated that
regulations would apply mostly to
new fields.
Asked whether he thought
it would be advisable to make
this sort Of legislation apply
only to new fields he said that
70 pass a law only affecting
states where oil is discovered
i'm the future might place a
handicap ON such states since
some practices recommended
might be so costly that new
fields could not operate I'm
competition with older fields.
Every field, every we'll. is a
problem by itself, and to establish
general gas-oil ratios is impossible
because of the changes both for
well and for a field.
Petroleum cannot be produced
without waste. California has re-
duced natural gas waste to less
than per cent and Texas, for the
whole state, about per cent.

HOUSE BILL ASKS $225,OOO TO BUILD
new PIONEERS HOME AT ANCHORAGE

JUNEAU - A bill asking for a
$225,00O appropriation to build
another Pioneers Home at Anchor
age. and fight over House Joint
Memorial No. 1. with reference to
the Merchant Marine Act provided
fireworks of the day for the lower
legislative body on Monday
House Bill No. 80. by Represent
alive Rogge, would appropriate the
sum of $225,000 for a new Pioneers
Home to be built at Anchorage, Al
aska.
The Introduction of the measure
followed Saturdays report of the
Sitka inspection trip in which it
was stressed that conditions at the
home there are overcrowded and
that more space is needed to take
care of a long waiting list of the
Tefritory's pioneers.
The fight over House Joint Mem
orial No. 1. introduced by Repre-
sentative H. II. McCuteheon, asked
Congress to include Alaska in the
Jones Act, which expressly excludes
Alaska in permission of transship-
ment of freight from Canadian ports
to the United States and possessions.
The measure passed with a Is TO
3 vote. First Division Representative
Davis, Mccormack and Walker vot-
ing no.
McCutcheon said in support of the
memorial that This is an insult we
want to wipe out" while Davis said
against the measure, IF we permit
Canadian boats to operate to Alas
kan ports. We'll damage seriously the
business Of two steamship companies
incorporated in Alaska, the Alaska
transportation Company and the
Northland Transportation Company.
Walker. who also voted mo" with
Davis, said, I'VE in the First Divis-
ion were deprived of the necessities
of life during the last steamship
strike because We couldn't get
freight in Canadian bottoms"
Smith of the Third Division, ad-
mittedly elected with a labor vote
and on the New Deal ticket, said:
Il am definitely for the New Deal,
and the New Deal Is against monop-
olies and special privileges. For that
reason 1 vote yes"

Free Mineral Assays Will Remain
Territorial Service

Free assays will remain one of the
services of the Territory of Alaska,
states the Juneau Empire.
The Senate Monday morning kill
ed by a vote of four-to-four a bill
which would have imposed a 25
cent fee for assays. The original bill
introduced by Senator Norman R.
Walker of Ketchikan provided for a
charge of so cents, which was re-
duced by amendment and finally dis
pensed with altogether by Monday S
action.
After being battered considerably
in its two previous appearances on
the floor of the Senate, the bill of
Senator Walker allowing sale of
hard liquor by the drink sailed
through second reading as a matter
of course without word being said
for or against It. The measure now
takes it's place in the general file
and will come up for final passage
as soon as it is engrossed.
Assay Charge Argued
Senator Walker relinquished the
chair for the first time this session
in order to speak briefly in favor
of the assay bill Monday morning
He cited figures showing $3.50 de-
examinations were made by the
Fairbanks assay office, LISP by the
Ketchikan office and $50 at Nome in
the past year. This was in an at
tempt to refute arguments by Sem
ator o. d. Cochran of Nome that
imposing of the fee would be very
unpopular in the Second Division.

Seiners Petition City
For Public GridirOns

A petition was submitted to the
Town Council this week by the Al
aska Salmon Purse seiners Union
Local No. 6, through its agent, w.
G. Wies, calling attention TO the
need of public gridirons as an ac-
commodation for fishermen and ask
ing that the Council consider the
construction of gridirons in some
convenient location in the harbor
The petition states that install
lation of gridirons this spring
would furnish work for unemployed
men and attract more boats to the
harbor. thereby bringing added re-
venue to the city.
In the event of favorable action
by the Council, the union asks that
construction of the gridirons be got
ten under way as soon as possible

Tom Nelson Commits
Suicide Marsh Island

The body OF Tom Nelson who COM
mitted suicide on Marsh island, was
brought in Tuesday by U. S. deputy
Marshal James Nolan and Wildlife
Agent Hosea Sarber. The body was
discovered, it is believed, about "a
hours after Nelson had done away
with himself
Mrs. Roberta McCracken, Marsh
island fox farmer. testified at the
inquest held Wednesday by U. S.
Commissioner Richard Suratt, that
Nelson was a heavy drinker and
much in fear of having to face a
court trial
He had been picked up for a game
violation by Mr.. Sarber while on a
patrol trip early in January and
told to come into Wrangell for a
hearing. Sarber finished the patrol
but upon arriving at Wrangell
found that Nelson had not come in
SO went out to bring him here.
Nelson, knowing that he was
wanted, had eYaded the authorities
until he apparently decided Monday
that death was preferable to the
comparatively light fine and Jail
sentence that would probably have
been his portion had he stood trial.
Nelson, who was also known as
Nilsen, was of Norwegian birth and
about 81 years old. He took out
first papers in Alaska in 1912 but
went no further in naturalization
procedure. He owned gasboat which
was not found on Marsh island and
is still missing A brother is sup
posed to be ON a halibut boat some
where in Alaska.
In the absence of further infor-
nation, Nelson was buried as a Ter
ritorial INDECENT this afternoon in
the cemetery at Wrangell.

MEMORIAL
WINDOWS
INSTALLED

Friends and organizations that
contributed to the memorial window
fund for the late Rev Harry P Cor
ser following his death will be in
terested to know that this window
and two others have been recently
installed in the church where he
served so long. the others being for
John Goodwill Grant and John
Lynch Grant, given by Mrs Mary
Grant.
The Corser memorial window is
% by A and occupies the center of
the arehed space back of the white
marble altar, having been placed
above the cross and high enough to
allow the usual altar curtain below
it. This will be added later The
window depicts in beautiful colors
a figure of Christ with hand out
stretched. The other windows are
narrower, Is by A and these have
been placed lower, one on either
side. The subjects of the Grant mem
orials are angel figures taken from
Hoffman's Ascension and these face
the figure of Christ. All windows ere
inscribed, the Corser memorial bear
ing the inscription: ITO the glory
of God and in memory of Harry
Prosper Corser. with the year of
birth and death. The three windows
form a beautiful and impressive
group.
Great care was taken in the sell
ection of the memorials and when
they were finally received here from
the Pearson Art Glass Company of
Portland before the holidays, it was
hoped to have them in place for the
Christmas services. This was found
impracticable. Weather conditions
permitted their installation in ample
time for the commemoration of the
second anniversary of Rev. Corser' s
death, however, and this will be OBJ
served with memorial service
Sunday morning as announced by
his successor at st. Philips, Rev.
Arnold Krone. Later in the year. it
is hoped to have Bishop Rowe par
ticipate in a dedication service.
The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1939-02-03

explained the purpose of the act as
being to protect the assay offices
from 'nonsensical assays they were
called upon to make for schoolboys
and irresponsible persons
Senator Henry Roden of Juneau
argued against the measure, saying
the free assay service was for the
benefit of 1.-The ordinary prospector
who never has a dollar" To these
men Senator Roden said, even fee
of rs cents would be considerable,
since a great number of assays us
ually are necessary to learn any
thing about the mining possibilities
of claim,
Supporting the measure ON the
final vote, were Senators Walker,
Holman, Patterson and LaBoyteaux,
with Cochran, Rivers, Roden and
Sullivan against.

and final vote.
Two other bills, Nos. 40 and Al
introduced Monday by Representa-
tive Spencer. have to do with ex-
penditure of Territorial roads lp-
preparations. changing the laws re-
garding manner of how the monies
may be expended.
The existing law provides that
each Division Is entitled to one
fourth of the roads appropriations,
but where cooperative monies lFed-
eral are accessible in a division,
the Territorial Board of Road Com
missioners may cut their appropri-
alton allotment and give to less for
tunate Divisions.
Under this law, a Division may
take all of its appropriation in any
year, but the new amendment would
have it possible to take only so per
cent in any one year, in order that
precaution for emergencies may be
taken
The bill has a direct bearing oh
the possibilities of the even mum
bered year session of the Legislature
for 80 days in addition to the sixty
day session of odd numbered years.
Also, the second bill of the two,
repeats the law section providing
that only certain portions of the
road monies appropriated may be
used for aviation facilities. and will
make it possible for any part of a
Divisions allotment to be put into
aviation facilities it may deem nee
essary.
