ON OIL I'M ALASKA

Alaska, the Stewards Folly which
cost the United States S7.200,0OO
and already has returned. in gold
alone, many times its cost, soon may
be found to possess even more UNI
developed wealth in extensive de-
posits of black gold, petroleum.
Oil was found in Alaska more
than % years ago, but production
always has been insignificant In
the last five years, no oil has been
produced. Now, however two
United States companies are sink
ing large amounts OF money in two
new deep oil wells, and all indi-
cations point to the finding of val
liable oil sands. One we'll which
so far has cost 100000. already
is more than 1000 feet deep, and
the drillers expect to strike oil
this summer
The inaccessfbility OF the region.
the Iniskin-Chinitna peninsula. and
a number OF difficult drilling con-
ditions, have given the drillers
many unique problems which are
responsible for the large cost.

with the national curtailment-
1T is the best and most sensible
thing that has ever happened in the
industry" he commented. III
Wyoming joins in, l believe that
Montana should also shut down its
wells. We are accommodating stor-
age oil right now as a result of
the pending Spokane rail rate case
and we can help ourselves as we'll
as giving support to a nationwide
movement to protect the industry
from the people who are trying to
ruin us all. A shutdown may hurt
some of the skimmipg plants but
there is no reason why they too
cannot shut down until the price
structure is stabilized The shut
down is going to help Montana,
in any event"
Has Governor The Power?
Other operators raised the ques-
ton whether there is adequate
authority for the governor of Mon
tana to shut down oil fields of this
state. They expressed fear that
refiners having their own produc-
ton would refuse to shut down
and other operators would be com
PEELED to produce their wells to
prevent loss of oil through under
ground drainage Still others said
It would be useless for Montana to
oin the movement unless Wyoming
wells are shut down.

finally began showing a little oil.
For a period of about three hours,
the pumper said, the proportion of
oil increased rapidly until it was
making about 40 per cent oil. At
the end of the three hours it began
making practically all oil. Then
the marine engine blew a cylinder
and the well turned back to water
Formerly pumped with an old
tractor. this well has had a long
history of breakdowns. Located a
long distance from any other well,
and making high gravity oil, it has
had enough oil to convince others
that there is a pool in the district
and a well is to be drilled soon in
a location three quarters OF a mile
south, by a Seattle group.

N1OW-a new triumph of science
IN brings a new-type "no-scrub"
soap that amazes all who try it.
1t contains a remarkable new in
gredient that enables it, to wash
white clothes up to 1873 whittier
than old.fashioned types of soaps
tested-yet keeps it SAFE for wash
able oolors, fabrics and hands.
Called Higb-Test OXYDOL, it
combines safety with whiter.wash-
ing in a way that's been sought by
scientists for years. And, when
tested against less efficient bar and
package soaps, it does these aston
ishing things
(1) Washes white clothes up to
15% whittier, as shown by standard
Tintometer readings. (2) Gives up
to TWICE THE SUDS even in hard
WATERSHEDS that stand up 3 TO 3

 Peterson built his own house and has built and launched number of fishing boats the largest 34 feet long, all by himself. They say he rows a skiff as well as any man and that the feat is something to see. Frank lives by himself.
 For most of the 42 years, life at Red River on Olga Bay was lonely, but now there are 18 men on the beach. Peterson says. They had a good fishing season. Frank made better than $1,000 at gillnetting, which he does unassisted
