 The market opened with gainI ranging to g points, in extension of yesterdays sharp advance, but there was an almost immediate re- action. Uncertainties regarding ttC pending farm legislation prompted the liquidation.
 Some discussion of the proposed 100 per cent of parity farm loang was expected during the day, but there was no indication that such actually wolud be the case.
 Early demand came primarily from mills and the trade. Selling was for the account of locals and southern interests.

Rail Building
To Be. Confined
To Alaskan End

WHITEHORSE-W Word received here
that the United States government has
abandoned for the present the pro-
jected construction Of a railroad to
Alaska means that the new Alcan
highway must bear the burden of the
gigantic traffic of war materials for
Alaska. The road is now in use but
largely for the movement of heavy
construction machinery to complete
the permanent road was far as pos
sible while the army road, 1000 miles
long, is frozen.
The highway will be in fun use by
the military in the spring but the
work of completing the permanent
grading and foundation crawling will
continue throughout the spring and
summer and by fall it is expected to
be as good as any graveled road in
the United States. Eighty-eight miles
Of permanent roadbed have been COM
pleted.
The war department is turning its
to construction of a railroad
westward from Fairbanks to the Ber-
ing seacoast; converting the Skagway-
line to standard guage |
with double tracking and construction |
Of railroad from Prince George to
and Fairbanks.

APOLOGY
Lost Section Is
Not Oversight But
A Lost Section

1t is the prerogative of newspaper
man to ask questions.
But when the answer is impossible,
it is not up to the oil man to answer
them.
The Journal noted in scout re-
port of the Ohio Oil Co. that the de-
scription of a new location was incom-
plete, lacking a section number and
asked for a correction.
The reply of H. H. Healy, Ohio sup
erintendent, was as follows
"The full description for Mishler-
Badger well No. /, as we are using it,,
is Lot ia, Twp. 56N, Rg. 97W. On &C
count of two separate surveys having
been made in this area, which sur
veys do not coincide, it is difficult to
determine in what section this well is
located. However, we are inclined to
believe that it is in Sec. 25-56-97, &C
cording to the new survey, and in Sec
ton 30-56-96, according to the old
survey"

U.S.B.M. Notice

WASHINGTON - Exploration of a
large deposit of low-grade molybde-
mum ore near Neihart, Cascade county,
Montana, is one Of the coming project
of the U. S. bureau Of mines, accord
ing to letter received by Senator B.
K Wheeler of Montana from r. r.
Sayers, director.
The survey expects to make further
exploration of manganese deposits
near Butte and hopes to have funds"
for exploration Of the Molybdenum de-
post near Neihart.
Molybdenum is an essential war
metal used in hardening tool steel.
The country's main supply comes from
one large mine at Climax, Colo. The
presence Of molybdenum at Neihart
has long been known, having been de-
scribed in the Weed report CU.SG.S.)
on the Belt mountains. According to
Weed, the famous Big Seven mine had
ore which carried 10 molybdenum.
which is commercial content.

Skilled WOrkmen
OUer SO May NOW
Resume Positions

The oil industry is hoping for the
return of a number of veteran oilmen
over 40 years of age, who have been
indicted into the army but who are
now permitted to return. Experience
gained during the past three years,
says the war department, indicates
that men over 38 are, in general, less
able physically to withstand the rigors
of present day combat, and many of
these man can make more effective
contribution to war industries than to
the army, the department said. Men
in the army who are over SO may seek
discharge if they can show
evidence that they will be employed in
an essential war industry.
A former Teole county draft board,
inspired by brass hat who declared
that draft quotas must be filled even
If it took grandfathers, indicted Al
number of skilled refinery men and
oil field workers, including married
men over 40 years of age. Toole county
now has new draft board and the
is looking forward to the re-
urn of greatly needed skilled work
men.

Association
viii Not Meet
Until SDrin0

Gasoline rationing has ended the
regular meetings Of the Western Min
ing Mine Owners & Operators as
ISOLATION at Missoula, announces A. j.
Moseby, secretary. No meeting will be
held until spring when a meeting will
be held, to be attended by Mr.. De-
Celles Of the RFC who will explain
the operation of RFC loans and Hal
Cheney, manager Of the Missoula
Chamber of Commerce, has agreed to
help miners fill out applications for
loans.
Through this cooperation we hope
to be able to aid you in financing
your properties by the time the snow
is cut of the hills" says the notice
issued by Secretary Moseby, continu-
ing:
1.-TWO more access roads are under
construction-one to Glaucus Copper
mine near Perma and the Lost Cabin
Lead-Zinc mine in the 9-ATile district.
The Curlow mine near Victor has
sunk new shaft and is now drifting
to reach the known zinc ore bodies in
this mine. Outside owners of other
properties are being contacted at
tempting to have them resume opera
lions.
IF we can get a few lead-zinc mines
operating in the district, we are as
sured of a custom mill which will pro-
vide you with a close market for your
ores. Things are beginning to move,
and we can look forward to a lot Of
activity next spring. Put your shoulder
to the wheel and help things along"

American Red Cross for visit
ing soldiers, might put aside its
rule of selling only soft drinks
and install a liquor counter
where the private could buy
good whiskey on ration basis.
There's another, and possibly
bigger Job, which confronts the
u S. Military Police in London.
That's watching for the German
Fifth Column. It's known that
many of the girls along Picca-
dilly who pick up soldiers are
enemy agents.
And the London Evening Star
recently printed this interesting
bit Of data:
ORGANIZED FIFTH COLUMN
CAUSES FRICTION
IAN organized Fifth Column
campaign is being run by secret
funds to cause trouble between
the American and British serv-
ices.
Generally, the agitators turn
in the guisc of tipsy working
mon. Recently, the suspicion Of
a soldier was aroused, and he
followed one individual from
the bar in which he had been
holding forth.
The soldier noticed that the
mans walk became more bal
anced the further he got from
the bar. He also noticed that in
a passing remark to another per-
son he dropped his pronounced
Cockncy accent.
The soldier gave information
10 a policeman, but the man
boarded a bus and disappeared. ,
That London is fertile terri
tory for enemy agents cannot be
doubted. II may be from infor-
nation drawn from some soldier
that Lord Haw on the Ger
man radio was able to broadcast
over England the secret move
mcntS of an American unit.

LONDON. Sept 3 When all
l.. S. troops who are scheduled
for Britain arrive IN this island,
an average of $4,000 doughboys
are expected 10 send weekend
leave in London.
But already, with nothing like
that number visiting this ma
tons capital, the u. S Army
Military Police are having plcn-
(, of headaches.
With Army and Air Force on
the manpower priority list, the
NJ P.'s have been able TO get
only 206 men assigned to the
London beat. Military Police
headquarters say they could use
900 to 800 Immediately.
The job of policing is not
merely matter of keeping
watch for the disorderly soldier
and tossing him into the clink
until he sobers. You've got 10
watch where liquor comes from,
because many u S soldiers
have been poisoned recently
from bad alcohol.
ACUTE LIQUOR SHORTAGE
BREEDS BOOTLEGGING
There's an acute shortage of
liquor in Britain. That means
high prices and plenty of boot
leg made in back-room dlstlllor-
les. The French, Poles, CzcchS
and English soldiers who have
been coming to London for a
long time know who sells bad
whiskey and they stay away.
The American private, in town
for the first time and not being
able to patronize the Savoy or
Officers Club, buys Ii quor
sometimes that's virtually wood
