however, that development should go

problem. How could the oil reach th*
markets of the world and meet present

any possible system of tank steamers,
or water transjKirtation. Transporta
tion by pipe lines, means an immense
outlay of capita 1 and there is a serious
question whether nil could be pumped
for any long: distance across a land
where for nine months of the yeaT the
temperatur s are from below freezing
to possibly 50 degrees below zero. The
Arctic, coastal plain is really on the
surface, a great sheet of ice. with but
a foot or so of muck on top. This
means difficult problems for railroad
construction in the event that this
should be. attempted. But despite all
these difficulties and problems, the
basic f;ict that a. possible great ad

in reserve for the nations use and fu

strange that Alaska, so oft n exhaust

keenly for control of and which the
