.Seattle, Feb. S—The latest oil dis
coveries in the North have been re
ported from the Admiralty Island dis
trtce near Juneuu. where a number of
recent locations have been made.
John T. White and W. I>. Brown
have made application for a ten year

Ketchikan will be assured of good
radio service with the states at all
times and the system will be able to
reach :ia far south ns San Diego and
as far north its St. Paul Island in the
Bering1 Seat, when the new apparatus
la installed by fieorge Hubbard, radio
aide with the Puget Sound Navy Yard,
says a report received from Ketchikan
by the Alaska bureau of the Chamber.
At the present time the work of in
stalling the new apparatus will be
completed before March 1. At the
present time the city cannot speak
farther south than Astoria, Oregon.
Of special Interest to Alaskans is
the news that the Association of Pa
cific Fisheries, headquarters Seattle, is
getting some very encouraging results
from its efforts of the Iasi two weeks
to stimulate the market for pink and
chum salmon. Between thirty-five
and forty railroads covering the entire
country, the two leading t l.graph
enmlpanios-, steel and tin plate mills
and cotton products manufacturers arc
distributing special literature and us
ing their company publications nrging
the hundreds of thousands of employ
ees in these industries to usu canned
saHilton. Wholesale houses and job
tn*rs in many regions are beginning to
“push” salmon and tlu- tendency is
spreading.

against the $955,000 asked by the war
department for the hoard of road com
missioners for Alaska to build and
maintain wagon roads, trails and
bridges in Alaska, the army appropria
tion bill in its present form carries
only $350,000. the same as granted last

investigation and report on tlie pro

had laid out and which was explained
to the appropriations committee re
