Globe, Arlz, Sept. 22.—A serious gasoline shortage on the Pacific Coast, | the effect of which would extend throughout the entire country during g | the next year, was predicted here to- | day during the closing sessions of the convention of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. W. R. Hamilton of San Francisco ! presented the gasoline industry data {to the ecngineers. According to Mr. Hamllton. the only possible means of ! increasing gasoline production are by the increased production of either !light oil or casinghead gasoline, low- ering the grade of market gasoline, | or by successful innovations in refin. {ing methods. Most of these solutions 'Mr Hamilton explained as impractic- | able in the immediate future, although [ he said that by lowering the grade of gaconne production could be increased He attributed | the future gasoline shortage to de- oil (\he decrease amounting to 6,000,000 | barrels in 1915,) steadily increasing consumption, the discontinuance of imports and the heavy exports due i | to the BEuropean war demands. | Discussing the value of chemistry §l | to the coal mining industry, Edwin M. Chance declared in a paper read at today’s meeting that Americans have in the past been purchasing coal on its looks rather than because of its | heating power. He made public re- sults of experiments which showed dull appearing coal to have better heating and burning properties than the bright coals which have formerly demanded premiums in the market. It is said that this discovery will greatly help to offset the cost of coal produc- tion without materially increasing the costs to the consumer. Tomorrow Globe in a hundred automobiles for a day's tour of the Apache Trail and an inspection of the Roosevelt Dam, probably the greatest engineering feat of its kind in the world.

F., and announced that he held the secret of whether the Nort Pole had been discovered by Admirel Peary or Dr. Cook, or both, During his seven years in the Arctic Keeshoo, or Wallace, as he prefers to be known, because William Wallace, former superintendent of thc Amer- ican Museum of Natural History, was his guardian, lived with the natives, adopted their dress, and hunted with them the walrus, seal, and norwal for his food, and fur-bearing animals and birds for his clothing. After careful- ly wrapping his native costume, which included white and blue foxskin ccat and polar bear trousers, and placing them in a storeroom of the McAlpin hotel for safety, Wallace took a bath with a lump of ice in it, donned cool clothing, and inspected Broadway. “I have lived so long in an igloo- Greenland ice house, you know, that I'm glad of the change,” he conflded to a reporter. Mene further admitted that the “igloos of Broadway,” the memory of which he had carried back with him, had made his evenings somewhat dull in the “icehouses,” with smoky oil lamps for light. But Broad- way was not the only lure of Ameri- can civilization. “Many times I would have . $2 fur plece for a cup of coffce with sugar in it,” he said. Wallace, who speaks like an educat- ed American, says he did not remem- ber more than a dozen words of his native language when he returned to the Arctic. He had to learn the lan- guage of his tribe, and in turn taught some of them English. His stories of the great world was a continuai sourcs of entertainment for the tribe, he said after he had learned and was able to describe things to them in their cwn tongue. According to Wallace, he had little except the clothes he wore when he reached the place of his birth to which he had traveled on the steamer Jeanic, a Peary rellef ship, in 1909. To return here Wallace sald he had walked a day and a night from the headquarters of his tribe at North Star bay, Green- land, to Parker Snow bay or Cape York, where he found the schooner George B. Cluett of the McMillan Crocker Land expedition ready to sail. He was taken on board as a sailor and worked his way during the two months’ trip to St. Johns. Sailors gave him spare clothing. With the money thus ziven a arned he came to New assenger. father died here, and when T went back to North Star bay T wanted to find the only two or three rela- tives I had reason to believe were still living,” continued Wallace. “I was unable to speak Esquimo, and T ap- pealed to a missionary to help me. “Who is to pay vour hoard?” he asked. I couldn’t guarantee that, so I immediately sought out the old tribe of my father. They “veleomed me. Was I satisfied with the crude life there? Yes and no. The climate suit- ed me and my health was better than when here. But the conditions under which they live is very monot- onous to one who knows of the high state of civilization here. “For my own part I could have been happy there but for this. In fact there were times, and T still have the impression that it would have heen me had I never heen brought to civilization and educated. It leaves me between two extremes, where it would seem that T can get nowhere.” Mene says he will go back to the Arctic, and when he goes he expects 1o carry many things to contribute to the mental improvement and entertain- ment of his friends and neighbors. He wasn’t sure of his future pians at North Star bay, but thought ae might go into trading there. Then he might marry, he admitted. “You can support a family cheaply there, and at night there Is no place to go but home,” he added. Wallace says he has no srievanse against Read Admiral Peary. with whom he had a quarrel before he went back to Greenland. However, he has talked with the Esquimaus who ac- companied both Peary and Dr. Cool. has studied their stories, ana checked them up in the long evenings in the igloo, and has reached the conclusion {hat he has something of value hearing on the North Pole subject, which he wants to sell to the newspapers or present to some scientific organiza- tion. Wallace will remain at the hotel for several days until he can reach some of his former friends, including M Wallace, who, witk the late Morris K. Jesup, befriended him and paid for his tultion here.
