WF.IX DO WE remember
the time Dangerous Dan
McGrew carried the serum to
Nome. No, come to think of
it, it wasn't Dan. It was the
fellow with the fur coat. As
an old sourdough, this Com
pany recalls the occasion be
cause, in the first year of the
Klondike gold rush, we loaded
a boat with candles, kerosene,
and other vital supplies and
headed for the Yukon.
Now the Company is back in
the North Country prospect
ing this time for black rather
than yellow gold. This is, ac
tually, our second vain year of
joint "wildcatting" at Jutebay,
Alaska.'No soap, nary nugget
even at 6,392 feet.
Hardships in the land of snow
are not what they used to b
in those early days we shared
with Robert Service. Yet, even
now, you don't rush out to
dinner or off to a movie. This,
in fact, is the first year we've
dared to keep the drills going
through the long, northern
winter.
Oil processed from coal and
shales would meet requirements
for many years. But natural pe
troleum remains the economic
source. Hence hardy oilmen
mush down that lonesome arc
tic road, fight jungle and sand
in ti e tropics that, unlike cer
tain others, this - nation can
press onward, untroubled about
supply.

in Sonora, Mexico, to visit his
son here and renew acquaint

Mr. Kroschel. He joined the
Miller organization in 1900 and
continued until 1918, the ad
vent of prohibition. Miqiiel
Gonzales, well-known Mexican
and now district governor for
Rotary International in Mexico,
called Mr. Binder to his country
in 1918 to assist in rehabilitat

Mexico. He is still associated
with this program in Sonora.
While in Medford, the brew
master will thoroughly check
