WASHINGTON, March 21.—Alas
ka petroleum interests have asked
the federal trade commission for per

mission’s investigation of the increas
ed price of gasoline.
It is understood the Alaska inter
ests will teil the commission of new
petroleum fields in Alaska contain
ing oil of a high percentage in gaso
line. 9
In fact, it is claimed that in the
Katalla fields alone has been manu
factured gasoline from oil seepages
which contains the highest percent
age of gasoline of any oil yet dis
covered. The oils, also, are of the
lighter variety and are considered
the most valuable.
Those interested in bringing the
Alaska fields to the attention of the
commission declare that transporta

the problem of opening to the gener
al markets of the United States a
vast supply of oil. It is also claimed
that certain interests have been op
