ELECTION 1022
The election returns give the Democrats much encouragement but not I
fc much as the election four years ago gave the Kepublicans. It was t»
be expected that the Democrats would gain a number of seats in the Sen
ate and House; as the landslide of the last Presidential year was so abnor
mal as to forecast a return to about the status maintained for some tlmfe.
Indiana's change from Republican to Democratic Senator is offset by Ohio's
change in the opposite direction. New York. New Jersey and Maryland
are the outstanding gains on the Democratic side. The wets will partic
ularize In the rejoicing over the election of former Governor Edwards, who
declared some time ago we woul dmake New Jersey wet as the Atlantic and
now will probably repeat that slogan for the whole United States. The
defeat of Volstead will be another cause -for rejoicing on the part of the
wets, but as Kvale. declares he is dryer than Volstead, that will not be par
ticularly gratifying. New York ia and has been one of the doubtful states
siuce the times of Cleveland and Hill. Its swing carries woight, but New
York is quite likely to return to the Republican column at the election of
1924.
The contrast in this election with that of 1918 is that the Republicans
still have working majorities In the House and Senate. This will make
tos9ible the carrying on of the principles and policies of the Republican
party through the coming two years. By that time things will have settled
down more than they are today and the policies recently inaugurated will
Uave bad a chance to reveal their beneflclent results.
In Alaska, and In California, the Republicans have every reason to b«l
gratified with the results. Washington, also is sending all Republican
Congressmen to Washington.
All in all the Republicans have won out In the election and still con
trol Congress and can carry on for another two years to the prosperity of
the country and the ever Increasing prestige of the nation among the other
notions of the world.
Are we downhearted? I should say NOT.
BIOLOGICAL SURVEY IS
MAFPINT OUT PLANS
ALASKA ENDEAVORS
"The United States biological sur
vey has mapped out a definite pro
gram (or the building up of the fur
resources of Alaska by the Intro
duction of various kinds of fur
animals and game on these sections
of the territory in every way suit
able for their habitat but on which
they are not found at present," is
the information given out by E. P.
Walker, head of the territorial bio
logical survey, who arrived recent
ly or. the Princess Mary from Seat
tle where he has been In consul
tation with E. W. Nelson, chief of
the bureau. •
The biological survey U the only
deparrment of the government con
cerned with the development of wild
life, and, as Alaska is primarily flt-j
ed for the propagation of every
variety of fur bearing animal, its
purpose is to establish and encour
age the development of a permanent
fur industry in the territory that
will gUe employment all the year
around to its inhabitants and one
that is assured of « steady, sure
growth for generations to come.
A careful investigation of clim
atic conditions, soil, and food supply
has already been made of every part
of Alaska and a close study made of
the hublts and manner of breeding
of the animals to be introduced, In
order to carry out this project suc
cessfully.
Animals to be Introduced.
As a result of this extensive
stud> marten are to be placed on
■a Prince of Wales group; mink on
Kodtuk and Alfognak islands: bearer
on the Chlchagof and Ba'ranoff
group: marten on the Baranoff lsl
as:ds: blue grouse on the Prince of
Wales group.
Mountain goats are to be trans
ferred from the mainland to the Ad
miratty group. One has already
been placed there and five or eight
more will be released this fall.
It has been found that rabbltB will
serve as food for fur bearers and
they are to be Introduced on Uie
' — ——
large islands of southeastern Alaska,
which have not been leased (or fur
(arms.
Other projects are under consider
ation and the biological survey £as
sent letters to game clubs asking
them to contribute information and
ideas along this line. Individuals
are also urged to send them any
suggestions of possible value in
building up this fur industry.
Mr. Walker thinks that if the big
game to be found iu the Territory
were properly advertised It would
attract big game hunters and Inter
est capitalists, potential investors,
who no wseek their sport and spend
their money in other more distent
hunting grounds. Mr. Walker is
personally acquainted with one Eng
liahmau who has made three exten
sive hunting trips to Alaska carry
ing away trophies and specimens to
bo presented to museums. One ex
pedition of this kind ofter results
in the expenditure of $7,000 or more
in the couutry and also gives em- j
ployment to a number of men.
In connection with the building
up of the fur industry here, the bio
logical survey is now trying out a
plan, that has been followed for
some years with great success iu the
states, of securing th services of a
wolf hunter for the protection of its
wird life, especially the deer, to
whom the wolf is a real menace. J.
S. Ligon. who has been with the
biological survey in Michigan, is to
take up this work.

Geologist Declares Pearl Creek
Dome Ideal For Oil Prospect
The Pearl Creek dome, in the Cold
Bay oil fields, oilers as near perfect
conditions tor the accumulation of
oil as could be desired, says L. C. De
cius, geologist for the Associated Oil
Company, which, with tne Standard
Oil Company, is preparing to drill a
test well on Pearl Creek.
Accordiug to J. H. McCord, who
has supplied the Anchorage Times
with a copy of Mr. Declus' report,
Pearl Creek was selected for the
test well because of Its possessing
three distinct Bands that may hold
oil. The Bear Creek dome, next In
point of importance to Pearl Cre3k,
and on a separate and distinct ant<
cliue, carries two sands, while the 1
Hubhel and Mt. Alai domes contain
on sand. If oil is encountered In any
one of the first sands it will prove
the value of the Hubhel and Mt. Alal
domes, and if struck in the second
sand will indicate what may be ex
peeled in the Bear Creek dome.
0 1 at 1AOO Feet.
Aceordinj to Mr. Decius' findings
oil should be struck at a point l.-i
600 feet in depth, with the extreme'
distance to be penerated by the drill!
in reaching the lowor 2,500 feet
For the purpose of localizing for
mations the name of Chinitna his
been applied to a series of shales and
sandstones considered the most im
portant as possibly containing oil.
The name is taken from the sand
stones and shales at Chinitna Bay,'
near the mouth of Cook Inlet. The
formation is 2,400 feet in thickness
and indicates 2.S50 feet at elevuted
point.
Trend in Northward.
Now that drilling locations have
been fixed and the large companies
ready to begin business, steps ire

to entering tliis department. He
has always been greatly intersted
in this work and has made it a life
study.
FACTORY \\ OKKKItS IX
AKRON WEAR DIAMONDS
VALUED AT $2,500,000
Akron, Oliio, Nov. 8.—Claim that
factory workers here own over half
■if the more thc.t• $5,000,000 worth
of diamonds possessed by Akron cit
izens is mude by representative local
jewelers.
Women own almost 9-10 of these
diamonds.
"It is safe to state that an average
taken among all women over six
teen years of age, among the factory
workers, will give every one of them
at least one diamond ring," declared
George S. Dales, one of Akron's earl
iest jewelers. "The average worth
of each diamond, exclusive of the
mounting, would be about $75.
"Diamonds owned by the men of
this class would only average about
$10 per man.
"Among office workers the number
of male lingers that sparkle In the
sun is negligible, but the per capita
value of female twinkiers is $150.
"Diamonds are strongest, of course,
with the society women, wives and
daughters of the factory owners and
other wealthy Akronites. There the
average diamond wealth is $500 per.
The husband, who has to bear the
brunt, again runs a poor second in
diamond proprietorship. His aver
age only $50."

structures and sedimentary forma-1
lions culoulated to contain oil,'In a
northerly direction. Sufficient evi
dence has, according to Mr. McCord,
been found at Kamlchak Bay oppo
site Seldovla and skirting the Aleu
tian peninsula. The presence of
these mountains precludes the pos
sibility of the oil structures passing
westward, and evidence of shales on
the oast side of Cook Inlet along the
Kenal peninsula and ou into the
Chickaloon flats, indicates that the
area of sedimentations Is embraced
between the Aleutians and the moun
tains skirting Turnlgain arm at its
mouth. From this point explorations
have traced the formation to Wnlte
Rock lime quarry south of Anchor
age, where a heavy overlay leading
northward prevents any reading of
the structure until a point five miles
north of Anchorage.
These two points In the Anchorage
field will be the pivot from whence
geologists will eventually work our
the structure. In the event of finding
evidence of the Chlnitna structure it
is reasonable to believe that the
local field oilers opportunities for
drilling.
All these matters must be proven
by research and prospecting, follow
ing up the data advisable and work
ing out the structure until It is
possible to centralize upon a possi
bly productive field.
As Mr. McCord says, success in
Cold Bay will reflect Itself to anv
point where there Is evidence of
structure and Anchorage has a fair
chance of being included in the
northern limits of the formations
that have attracted tho most con
servative oil operators In the world.
