MAGHINEGUN
IS CONDEMNED
Washington, D. C., Jan. 26—Of-1
ficlal condemnation of the Lewis ma/
chine gun, extensivoly purchased for
the British and Canadian armies, is
expressed in a formal (statement is
sued by Secretary; Baker, assuming
full responsibility for the action of
tho war department with respect to
fhe much! discussed weapon, and di
recting' that controversy among
army officers over it cease.
The statement shows that the in
sDcctor general was directed to in
vestigate the whole matter of the
treetment of the Lewis gun, named
after its inventor, a former army of
ficer, a board of officers al
ready had agreed with pre
vious boards that the gun wiis not
suitable for extensive purchase f'ft
the army.
The inspector general's conclu
sions art reported in the official
statement. The secretary states
♦hat he finds ao> official record that
Col. Lewis ever offered his gun
>n any way to the United States
•£oyernmen;t that the American
Arms Company, in 1913, made the
only offer of 100 guns at $1,000
each with license for government
manufacture on a royalty basis; that
tests of the gun were conducted in
*he regularly constituted boards;
tha* 'he Savage Arms Company, in
April of this year, wrote Gen. Cro
zler, chief of ordnance, expressing
entire satisfaction with the work
o' the last hoard; that the gun's
failure to pass its endurance test
caused its exclusion from field tests,
and, finally, that "the records do
not show any hostility on the part
of Gen. Crozier of the ordnance de
partment toward the Lewis gun, but
do show that the department, by
direction of its chief, accorded the
owners of the gun every possible
facility in placing it before the
testing board."
ALASKA ILL
PRODUCE OIL
Washington 11, — "Nobody has
thought of Alaska as a producer of
oil, ye* the time jvill come, in my
ojiiuion, ■when. Alaska will be sup
plying a large part of the oil used
in this country'," remarked James
Larkin, a mining man of Valdez,
who is here, says a dispatch in the
Juneau Empire of Jan. 20. "In the
uouular mind Alaska is a gold coun.
try firs', and after that fisheries,
bu» coal, oil and agriculture will
beconii importantt industries in
Alaska before many years, not to
sneak of copper, which, has already
gone ahead of gold in the value of
oroduction. Alaska produces a
finer grade of anthracite coal than
any Malt, of this country, not except
ing Pennsylvania, and the quality ol
i's crude petroleum is better than
any on tho continent, I believe.
W'leu oil was selling in California
two or three years ago for 30 cents
a barrel, 'he Alaska oil was bring
ing $2.60. It is the finest grade
of narafine basg oil, and some of
the crude oil is almost pure gaso
line. For lubricant it is prehapa su
Pericr to any produced anywhere in
the world.
"The agricultural possibilities of
Alaska are unlimited. It is not
too cold to raise almost any sort
of crop in the growing season. As
fine a quality of wheat as I ever
saw has been grown there. Fruits
of all kinds flourish. I do not
think I ever tasted finer strawber
ries than those raised in Alaska.
The most delicato flowers will grow
and all sorts of vegetables thrive.
"Prohibitionj which was carried
in the reoent election, I believe
will prove a good thing for the Ter
ritory. I am opposed *-o prohibition
on general principles, but in Al
aska under present conditions of la
bor I tnink it will materially im
prove the situation- Labor is scarce
enough and we can ill afford to lose
any Dart pf it at any time."
Jostpl- Guyot, who has been in
Haines for several months past re
turned to Skagway on the Seattle
this morning.
Remington Typewriter Fisher an
Burrpugh's Adding) Machine Hewitt,
both o* Juneau, are keeping close
touch o*. one another, leaving their
heme port fOT this place on the
Seattle, but when they arrived in
Haines and one of them decided to
s»op off, the other did likewise. They
w''l probably be up on th§ Peter
