"Ital. Alaska as a point of ju-t»_
duct ion of crude oil, and as a

alized by the individual Seattlo
man. Yet nine years ago the
company with which 1 was re
cently connected began its oil op
erations. It started live wells.
There were various vicissitudes.
It is still workinK. It is now
manufacturing halloas of
gasoliae daily. Already since the
opening of the season it has made
three shipments to Alaska points.
The company supplies tin* mar

another well, which is now down
