In those days when municipalities

in debt. anil doing "job" politics, it
• s refreshing to read of a town set
ting a different pace. The little city
: Salem, capital of Oregon, has oulv
about L'",f00 population, but it has
a model city government and lives
,itliin it- rega'arly adopted budget.
Ti e city is running this v-»ar on

retluced its tax levies for 'lis past

It is time to make plans for the

CHRIS XI IB »S LOSES BOAT
While returning to Cordova from
.a trip on the sound. Chris Xiros wa
rned a submerged pile with his boat,
tt-hch quickly went to the hottein.
Xiros was about a mile off shore at
the time, hit the pile end on and
at full speed, tearing half the bottem
out of the boat. Xiros grabbed a loaf
of bread and a blanket and jumped
into his dinghy in time to keep from
going down with the craft. He rowed
ashore to an abandoned fishermen's
cabin and the next day signaled a
passing gas boat and was taken to
Cordova. The boat and contents
represented a loss of $2,000.

Notice to Locators
of Oil in Alaska
The following circular 1ms been
received from Delegate Kan Suther
land which is of interest to all Al- !
askans:
HOl'SK I 'i! UKfUKSKMAUV'KS
Washington l>. I'.
to the locators or oil
CLAIMS IN TtlL COLD DAY I
AM) OTHEK DISTRICTS OF AL- ]
I ASKA TO WHOM l'LIt.MITS
| HAVE UEEX ISSl'KD:
I desire to call your attention to |
the terms tinder which these permits j
have been issued by the (ieueral
Lund Oltire :>ml H> urge upon >ou the
necessity of complying with the con
ditional provision contained in Sec
ton T!j of the permit, to-wit:
"This permit is granted upon the i
express condition that the permittee
will adjust any conflict with any j
prior applicant witiilu i»ix> months j
from rate hereof."
I nder the conditions that prevail
ed in locating are ;;;. il has been im
(possible for the Department to pre
i pare accurate maps tin1 reot. The
require men i of the leasing law was
tor the placing of one stake only in
locating uu area and consequently it j
is more than probable that a survey j
would demonstrate that many of |
these claims overlap, and tiiis would <
apply particularly to the West field
of the Cold bay district where most
of the locations were made.
| In issuing these conditional per
I mits it is the purpose of the General
Land Olllre to facilitate and encour
age prospecting, and the oil prospec
tor should appreciate this unusual
procedure in his interest to the ex
tent of co-operaiing with the De
partment by establishing the bound
i". lines of his c.aims within the per
od of time provided for in the above
seciton No T'-.-.
Any prospector is aware of tlie
fact that the only sure way of fixing
mounds, and i!.at any claim that is
the establishment of corner posts or
mounds, and that any claim is by
worth locating is worth locating
well, with a view to preventing fu
ture litigation.
We assume that the locating at
Cold Cay was done in the manner
usual with prospectors and that
groups of two. three or four men*
were present nt the locating of sev
eral claims and that some one mem
ber of <the group is capable of act
ing for the other members in fixing
the boundary lines of the several
claims, and 1 therefore respectfully
suggest that if it is not convenient
for all locators to go to the fields
within the time specified in the per
mit. it would be well to select one
who is familiar with the locations
and give him the authorty to go to
the field and act for others as well
as himself in placing corner'mounds
and establishing the lines.
A Departmental Surveyor is going
to the Cold Bay District this summer
who will make a sort of skeleton
survey of the district, but this sur
vey will have no connection with
your claims except insofar as it may
establish a few base lines. Section
does not imply that a survey
«t your claims is required, but sim
ply that all conflicts be adjusted
within the six months and all con
Diets will bo permanently settled
when eoruer mounds are established
by common consent of all interest
ed locators.
It is believed to bo a certainty
that at least one drill will operate
at Cold Bay this summer; boundary
lilies can bo easily adjusted without
dispute prior to discovery o£ great
value to an area, but in the event of
a good discovery of oil before all
lines are established the history of
mining camps will surely be repeated
in almost endless litigation, while
clouded titles will hamper business
tra nsactions.
1 make the request herein express
ed for a two-fold purpose, first, that
each and every prospector who has
gone into these remote places to lo
cate areas of oil land may have
clear and undisputed title to his
areas in the event of an oil strike;
and. second, that the General Land
Office may be relieved of much labor
and trouble in the adjustment of
titles ill the event of transfers being
made.

UNIQUE IN ANIMAL WORLD
Elephant Has Survived Because He
Has Been Able to Adapt Him
self to Conditions.
Tlicse Is nothing else like the ele
phant. He lias come down to vis
through the ages, surviving the con
ditions which killed oft ids earlier con
temporaries, and he now adapts him
self perfectly to more different con
ditions than any other animal in Af
rica, Carl Akeley of the American Mu
seum of Natural History writes In the
World's Work.
He can cut anything that is green nr
even has been green, just so In: •/ ns
there Is enough of It. lie ran ^et
his water from the aloe plants on ih'
arid plains or dig a well In Hie sand
of a dry river with his trunk anil
fore feet, and drink there, or he is
equally at home living half In the
swamps of better watered regions. ITe
is at home on the low, hot plains of
the seacoast at the equator or op the
cool slopes of Kenln and Elgon. So
far as I know he suffers from no con
tagious diseases and has no enemies
except man. There are elephants on
Kenla that have never lain down for
a hundred years. Some of the plains
elephants do rest lying down, hut no
one ever saw a Kenia e'ephanf* lying
down or any evidence that tlu'.v do lie
down at rest. The elephant is a
good traveler. On good ground a
good horse can outrun him, but on
had ground the horse would have no
chance and there are few animals
that can cover more ground in a day
than an elephant. And In spile of
his appearance he can turn with sur
prising agility and move through the
forest as quietly as a rabbit.
Systematize Work
The skillful mechanic duos not have
V think how to employ tfce lonls of
his trade. Long use has accustomed
him to work with them rapidly ami
accurately. If you have a routine
work to do, learn to do it with as
little mental effort as possible. The
effort that will count in your success
Is the effort you bestow not on rou
tine tasks hut on unusual tasks. If
your mind Is continually occupied with
the details of the Job you will l>e in
the same position as an executive who
tried to run an office by doing every
body's work, thereby keeping him so
close to details that he could have
no perspective and exercise no gen
eralship.—John Blake in Chicago Daily
News.
There Is a scarcity noted of un

this scarcity Is reason more for re
