CAPT. FINNEGAN
GIVES REASONS
FOR SHUTDOWN
Over-production of Oil Causes
Associated Oil to Sus
pend, Is Claimed.
The closing down of the Asso
ciated Oil Company's drilling opera
tions in the Kanatak oil fields is due
solely to the circumstance that over
production of oil in California and i
elsewhere has made it so that there,
is no immediate anxiety to bring in
a new field and the company has!
complied with the requirements of
the Government and its contracts
with those who hold lease from the
Government, according to Capt. John
J. Finnegan, who was in Juneau yes
terday while the Admiral Watson
was in port, on his way to the
South. It means nothing else to the
oil country except a slight reduction
tn the payroll, said Capt. Finnegan,
for the Standard Oil Compav is I
continuing development work.
Capt Finnegan said the Associated j
Oil Company is so well pleased with
the outlook in the Kanatak field that
it Is extending its holdings in addi
tion to retaining all that it has ac
quired. The titles under which it
holds have been perfected, and it Is
prepared to continue drilling under
the terms of Its contract next year, j
The Standard Oil Company Is con
tinuing its drilling with an excellent
outfit.
Capt. Finnegan is making a hur
ried business trip to the outside.
He expects to return north within
a few weeks. With Mrs. Finnegan
and the boys he spent two weeks
at Sewrard and Anchorage and was
present at the entertainment of the
President and the members of his
party at both places. Mrs. Finnegan
and the boys returned to Kodiak on
the Admiral Watson.

pointed out in the discussion, as a
means of solving the problem.
Several minor matters concerning
the system of education was also
taken up.
■ "The conference was not for dis
cussing important measures in the
work in Alaska so much as a get

Hawkesworth.
Mr. '.Hawkesworth said President

the sight of the reindeer herdB

OLD, OLD TIMER
COMES BACK TO
STAY IN NORTH
George Allard, 49 Years in
Alaska, Returns—Three
Months Outside Enough
After living in Alaska, chiefly at
Sitka, for 45* years, George Allard,
85 years of age, with the stature
and vigor of a man of 50 made a
trip to the States and stood it just
three months, then he slipped
quietly aboard the steamer Queen
at Seattle, for his home and chicken
ranch at Sitka.
"I've made my first trip to the
States since '74. said Mr. Allard,
who visited in .Juneau while the
Queen was in port Saturday, "and
I hope I’m never found dead outside
Alaska.
"Folks railed me the ‘young old
man’ where 1 was visiting with my
daughter near Bellingham, Wash.,
and I am young because I don't
I feel old. Ten years ago a physi-,
elan told me I could live to be 1001
I years old and I'm beginning to be-i
lieve him. But I’m going to live toi
tliut 100 years, right here in Al-|
arka.”
Mr. Allard is tall and but slightly!
stooped, with ruddy checks andj
bright young eyes that twinkle asi
he talks. He has a remarkable
memory and is witty in his conver
sation with a keen sense of humor
and a readiness to laugh.
"I always laugh," he said, "it
keeps me young—laughing andj
smoking. I smoke lots of tobacco
in my old pipe.”
Active and able to carry on the
work of a man 30 years his junior,
Mr. Allard expects to go into the
chicken raising business again, when
ho reaches Sitka.
“Yes, and another thing,” he re
marked, "I'm not worn out becauee
I never did get the gold fever. I,
was in Sitka when the big news
came of the gold find where Juneauj
is now located. L)lck Harris and Joe
Juneau, who founded the town of.
Juneau, were in my place. I ran:
a pool hall, getting their stuff to-j
gether while waiting for the tide,!
the night they left Sitka. They
wanted me to go with them and|
promised me the biggest place of
business In the new camp but I was
doing well at Sitka and did not
make the move.
"And I'm just as well satisfied.^
Gold is all right but too much Isj
[bad. I'd be. satisfied to reach into
[my pocket and pull out a $20 bill ifj
1 happened to need it and then when
lit was gone to get out another, but j
that’s enough to keep any man
hannv I
“You know I'm going home in
cognito. When I left Sitka I had
a Ions white beard and looked older
than I am. Bcfroe I left the States
I had it taken off and 1 know I’ll
never be recognized. But I want to
surprise everybody or when I let I
made the wise remark so many do
that 1 was never coming back. Ij
suggested to a few of my friends!
that 1 might return sometime and;
they will all have the laugh on me!
but I don't mind that so long as
I am home again.’’
