The Juneau High School Band is greatly pleased with the new instru- ments they received early this week from the east They include bari tone horn and three melophones. All of them are satin finished silver-plat- ed instruments of the highest class workmanship. The order for the in struments was sent in by wire about three weeks ago. and their delivery in so short a time was very satisfac- tory to the members of the band. The trial that they have been given this week has added to the pleasure of their possession.

Some canuery men need watching. Every cannery should have a govern ment inspector stationed in it during the canning season to see that none but good fish are put up in sanitary manner. There should be other in- spectors 10 see that fish traps are not allowed to operate in defiance to law. and to see that sein men and oth- CT fishermen do not violate the law in taking fish. There should be many more hatcheries government hatch cries II these things are done there is little danger of the salmon supply becoming depleted; if not done it is only a question of a few years when the industry will cease to be of great commercial magnitude. These are the essential facts according to men engaged in the business as told last night
 The second sitting in the hearing before the assembly joint committee on the anti.fish,trap law was held last night and there was shown to be no abatement in the interest taken in the matter The meeting was well at tended
 Robert Forbes went before the com mittee to finish his statement, having p.ven way the night before to C. J. Alexander who was leaving town. Mir Forbes attempted to show that the operation of traps did not tend to dis place labor to any great extent nor to reduce the cost of getting fish to supply the canneries. He argued that the cost of upkeep on traps and their operation meant the expenditure of nearly the same amount of cash as would be paid to seine men and that fl did not make any difference wheth- CT the men were employed in the woods getting out piling in building or at fishing. the money did the coun- try just as much good. And, besides all this the fish caught in traps were far superior to those caught by oth- CT methods. in fact trap-caught fish were the only kind that could be packed.
 The question Of closing the traps Saturday night at six o'clock until six o'clock Monday morning was rais- ed and it was shown that trap could not fish during those hours if the trap men were honest and complied with the law.
 The law introduced in congress de- lining the rights to traps was brought up. Judge Gunnison who represents many of the cannerymen explained that the Jones bill that is pending in Congress was designed to prevent the jumping of trap sites more than anything else.
 Senator Tanner wanted to know if the idea Of protecting the fish supply was a part of the motive for it's in- troduction. Senator Sutherland asked if it was not fact that it was an at tempt to give the trap operators per petual rights to the trap sites. Judge Gunnison explained that the proposed

The Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation and the House Com. mittee on Ways and Means held a joint session yesterday afternoon for the purpose of deciding wheth- CT or not a system of taxation would be inaugurated by this legislature. Representative Kelly, of Knik was elected chairman of the meeting and Representative shoup, of Sitka was elected secretary.
 The committee tentatively agreed upon the establishment of a system of direct taxation at this session. Meth ods for raising revenues were dis. cussed as follows: The committee were unanimously opposed to any sys- tenn of taxation on property values. It was the though that direct tax on the net earnings on mines should be imposed It was the general opn- ion that poll tax of two dollars on all adult persons living or employ ed in the territory should be i'm posed. It was suggested that transpor- tation companies pay 10 cents on ev- cry ton of freight they bring into the territory; to provide graduated tax on canned salmon in addition to that now imposed; to impose percentage tax on express companies doing busi- ness in the territory; to impose a percentage tax on money derived from insurance premiums by insurance companies doing business in the ter

flaw established tax of $1OO on traps and $1O on purse seines and $2 on boats employed and that provided that the private hatcheries should be ta' ken over by the government.
 John R. Beegle representing the Pure Food Fish company of Ketchi' kan gave an historical account of sal mon fishing bristling with statistics showing that the apparent falling off in the salmon pack on the Columbia river was due to the large amount of lmild.cured salmon that was put up, He said that the Columbia river had been fished for the past 47 years and that it seemed to be as prolific as ever. Representative Shoup wanted to know what particular bearing the Columbia river conditions had on Al aska. Mir Beegle said that he referred to the Columbia for the reason that here the trap was in use extensively and had, been for many years. Ac- cording to statistics furnished by Mir. Beegle Alaska produces two-thirds of all the salmon used in the world-and commands the smallest price, Mir. Beegle said that the Alaska packers had to pay freight both ways and still sell at a smaller price. Represen- tative Boyle wanted to know why the price on Alaska salmon was smaller than on that from other places-Mr. Beegle retorted because the pack con- tained so many inferior fish bought from the seine and gill net men taken from near the spawning grounds. The value of the 1912 pack according to Mr. Beegle was $16.OOO,S9O, in which the fish value was only SS,37S,OOO, the balance was made up in the cost of packing. Senator Willard wanted to know what his ideas were for conserv- ling the fish supply. He replied that the prime necessity was to set a de termined limit for traps and fishing gear keeping them a proper distance from the spawning grounds. The sea son is too long and should end Sep, tember 5.
 Senator Bruner asked if it was not a fact that the Alaska Packers Asso- citation brought their crews up from the states and paid them off in San Francisco after the season closed. He said that he believed it is true,
 R. B. Bell gave one of the most interesting talks on the fish question that has been made at the hearing, He said that the supply was not grow ing less in his opinion, but that if canneries continued to be established more traps to be built, and the seine and gill net operators continued to increase the catch each season that in time the hard fishing of the waters together with the ravaging of the spawning grounds would deplete the sppnIy of salmon. Tt is a well known fact" he said. that we can extermin- ate any resources we have by certain methods We are not asking for any

Committee Discusses
 Revenue Raising Methods

ritory; to impose net income tax on dredges; to impose tax On roller quartz mills; to raise the filing fee for foreign corporations from five dol, lars to twenty-five dollars and on do' mestic corporations from five dollars to fifteen dollars; to raise the annual renewing fee on all corporations from one dollar to five.
 The committee decided to recom' mend the establishment of the offices of territorial treasurer and attorney general
 In the opinion of the committee $1OO,OOO will be ample to defray the expense of the territory outside of the provisions already made by the government This amount will be raised on an equitable basis by the methods decided upon by the commit tee.
 The collection of the taxes will probably be made a part Of the duty of the clerks of the district courts of the Territory and the United States marshals of the four divisions All of this plan is tentative and may be abandoned for something more [ feasible.
 The following senators and repre- sentatives have been appointed a sub committee to draft revenue bill for introduction in the House which will first be considered by the joint committees of both houses: Senators Bruner and Tripp; Representatives Svindseth, Driscol, Shoup.

FANS
 BEGIN ACTIVITIES

Juneau baseball fans foregathered at the Orpheum theatre last night after the show at that place had concluded and discussed the proposition of launching a baseball team to carry the colors of Juneau for the year 1913. The meeting was called by Tom Rad onich, who was the manager of the ball team for last year. It was unani' mously decided that Juneau must have a baseball team and that it must be a winning aggregation. A movement was started to raise the necessary funds to finance the team.
 While it was the conviction of all those present that it will be an easy matter to secure good material for a team. the matter of making selec tion of players was left for discussion at some later time.
 George c. Burford was chairman ol the meeting, and he appointed Herb Conway. Denny Molloy and Rude lot' as finance committee. They will have charge of an entertainment that will be given in the near future for the purpose of raising money.
 John T. spickett offered the use Of the orpheum theatre for next Thurs day night and all the receipts of the evening for the benefit of the bal team, and the offer was accepted with thanks.
 Tom Radonich, who was the man ager of the baseball team last year is being urged by many to accept a like commission this year.
