SUMMER CLAN IS
PREDICTING ON
POLITICS NOW
General Shake Up With
Some Exception Is
Their Expectation
I Alaskans in Seattle for the winter
are doing a lot of talking about poli
tics ami the following article from the
I'imes indicates that a considerable
shake up is exp»*cted in official circles
by those who "go outside to spend
what they can get away with during
the summer.”
It seems to be the general opinion
that (iov. J. F. A. Strong will be re
appointed. It is said that he is solid
with the Wilson administration.
Also, say Alaskans who ought to
| Know, that Judge Robert W. Jennings
of the First Judicial Division will be
reappointed. He is saiu to stand well
with the Alaska party and with the
National party. Tile same is asserted
m behalf of Judge Fred M. Drown ot
the Third ’Division and Judge Charles
K. Dunnell of the Fourtn.
Changes in Nome District
Outside of these officials, more or
less uncertainty exists. It is said by
| some that there will be a wholesale
| political housecloaning in the Second
| or Nome division. It is charged that
* the federal officials there have per
sistently ignored tlie local Democratic
committee: that a good many Repubii
can holdovers have been kept in office,
and that many of the federal officials
; worked actively‘for James Wicker
sham and against Charles A. Sulzer
the Democratic candidate.
The marshal's office in the Fourth
Jdmsion has been more or less of a
political storm center, and it is ex
pected things will be doing in that
section.
\V. W. Spence. district attorney of
the Third division, is slated for t?ie
axe. ’n the opinion of some party
men. His prosecution of the Valdez
club, the charges that lu* tilled many
offices with relatives, and the allega
I tions that he is too friendly to the in
terests of .Janies Wickersh im. are
among the cases of his poor stand
I ing. Charges have been made already
| and tiled at Washington, 1>. C.
There are also said to he oo manj
Wickersham adherent- among the
I marshal’s office in that division, and
1 aome wealing will be done at the
| right time it is asserted.

iceman and Charles A. Sulzer, candi
date for delegate. Those seeking of
fices are assiduously courting the
good favor of these two men and their
dose friends. Moreover, there has
been and is now a lot of quiet soft
footing from Alaska to Washington,
I). C., in th hopes of working the poli
tical combinations ami landing some
thing. It is indicated, however, from
! Washington, D. C., sources, that there
will be “nothing doing” unless the
indorsement of the Alaska Territorial
committeeman is first obtained.
In any event, the game is becoming
intensely interesting, and from all in
dications and signs it will not be long
before something will drop.
OIL SHALE LAND
RESERVED FOR
USE OF THE NAVY
WASHINGTON.—(Special) — The
most important single act during the
mouth in connection with the elassili
' cation of mineral lands was the crea
tion of two naval oil shale reserves,
one of 4.">,440 acres in western Colo
rado, and one of Sf!,.V>4 acres in north
western Utah. The lands thus set
, apart for the use of the navy contain
bodies of shale which, when mined
and distilled in properly constructed
retorts, yield oil of good quality.
Thus far oil has not been extracted
j from shale in the Unitel States in
commercial quantities, since the dis
covery of crude oil developed by wells,
. because oil can be secured in the lat
ter way much more cheaply than
through the more complex process of
extracting it from shales. But the oil
! shale industry ha* existed in Scotland
j for half a century in spite of the
competition of the oil fields of the
world and the time will doubtless
come when the large oil shale deposits
of western United States will also be
developed in a commercial way.
These naval oil shale reserves have
boon created to provide for the
needs of the navy during that future
time when the ordinary oil fields have
been so reduced that it becomes prac
ticable and profitable to distill the
more expensive shale oils.
