CHECKS HELD
 SINCE YEAR 1891

Hoarders of all sorts are more or less numerous. but Che head of large oil company recently remarked Speaking of hoarding gold there are several thousand checks still outstand ing against my company which have been issued at various dates since 1891 in payment for oil we have pur- chased from little oil producers. The checks have mt tcon cashed and ap- parently the f-l ,ors ore in no hurry to cash then Once we tried to get in touch witn some of these old Tel lows SO tha, We could clean up the very ancient checks. the object be- ing Of course. to reduce the amount of bookkeeping necessary Go keep our balances straight We got tired of holding that cash against these old cheeks.
 Do you think the old fellows would give up? Not much They said that they had been selling oil to us for many. many years and would as soon have our checks as Uncle Sans money: that they did not need the cash. and that they guessed we would make good for it when they-aid. or course they are stin holding them. Every corporation has its trouble in these lines but we believe we hold the record"

HUGE BEASTS ONCE ROAMED THROUGH
 WYOMING swAMPS

Como Bun. Who. is classic ground to those interested in the fossil re- mains of animals that inhabited this region long ages ago, for it was here that the first dlnosaur bones were discovered In the Rocky mountain rel zion. Some of the dinosaurs were the largest land animals that ever walked the earth. and some were very dlminutlyc. They-di0ered great ly in size. shape, structure and halo its. Some were plant eaters; others fed on flesh Some walked on Tour feet: others with small weak fore limbs walked entirely upon the strongly developed hind legs. Some had reptlle.liSe feet others were bird footed. Some had toes provided with long sharp claws; others had nattened hooflike nails. There were dinosaurs with small heads and oth- CTS with large heads. Some were large and cumbei some; others were small. light and graceful and so much resembled birds lp their structure that only the skilled anatomist can distinguish their remains. Some of enormous siAe were clad iu coats of bony armor. which gave them most bizarre appearance.
 The largest herbivorous or plant eating dionsaur whose fossil remains have been found in Como Bluf was the huge Brontosaurus. or thunder Hazard. as 1t was called by Prof. Marsh. It was 70 feet long, stood 16 feet high at the hips. and had long tail, an equally long neck, and head that was only a little larger than that of a horse. The weight of such a creature has been variously ostimat- ed at IS to 20 tons. This animal doubtless lived on the luxuriant trop- teal vegetation. but how its enormous bulk could be sustained by such food as could pass through its ridiculously small mouth has caused much won der. It is not certain whether the name thunder lizard was given to 1t because of it's size or because of the large sum-over S1O,OOO-~hich Prof Marsh spent in excavating and pre- pairing it.
 Some dinosaurs that are even larg- CT than the brontosaur have been found more recently. A Diplodocus now in the Carnegie museum in Pitts burgh, had the enormous length of S4is feet.
 At the time these animals flourish ed the Rocky mountain region was a low. nearly level country, covered with tropical vegetation. with many wide. shallow streams and swampy areas, thus furnishing a congenial place for these sluggish swamp-in- habiting creatures to wade lazlly about or float in the water, for it has been deemed improbable that the en- ormous bulk of some of them could be sustained without lateral support such as would be obtained in water. -C.

SEWARD SPECULATES ON ORDER FOR
 TOWNSHIP THERE

That the place to be surveyed and divided into city lots by the govern ment is without doubt the bit of va cant property known as the terminal tract and not any new place at the head of the bay or elsewhere, is the statement made this morning to the Gateway by Chairman William c. Edes of the Engineering Commission This terminal tract, it may be men, toned for the benefit of outsiders, is in the hearty of the city and is a patch of some sixty acres which was supposed to belong to the Alaska Northern railroad but which. 1t is said, was never transferred from the public domain and would be, there fore, government property if such is tho case. Mir. Edes, when asked how the fact could be explained that the cable to the Gateway mentioned eigh- ty.seven acres. said he understood that the government had some more ground in the neighborhood. He stated, however, that he has received no executive order but of the fact that the terminal tract is the place to be surveyed and divided as he has no doubt. Part of the tract would most likely be used for railroad pur- poses.

The new city is a little less than a thousand feet from the rail- road they say, and people are mov- ing fast to their new lots.

REVENUE STAMPS
 TO BE REQUIRED

Revenue stamps will be required on all documents filed in the office of the Secretary of Alaska in the future, according to an announcement made by Charles D. Davidson this morning. This announcement is based upon the recent decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue which was reach ed July 20, 1915. The letter of the Commissioner to Mr. Davidson con- corning the revenue stamp require ment is as follows:
 Sir
 "This office is in receipt of your letter of the 9th inst, enclosing a copy of a communication addressed by it under date of the 27th of Janu- ary last to M Guggenheim's Sons, New York where it was held that certificates required by State law in the nature of reports rendered to the State Government for its own use do not require the anixing of stamps un- der the Act of October 22 1914. You state that you have heretofore re- quired revenue stamps to be attach ed to annual reports and appoint ment and consent of agent articles of incorporation and certificates of increase or decrease of capital stock. of dissolution, and of qualification by insurance companies.
 Tn reply to your inquiry in the matter you are informed that the communication which has been cop jed was written with reference only to documents required by State law and is therefore generally applicable to similar documents required under the law of a Federal jurisdiction. You are no doubt aware that the courts have on numerous occasions handed down decisions to the effect that Con- gress has no constitutional authority to tax the means and instrumentalit- ies adopted by a State Government for carrying into effect its govern mental functions, for the reason that if one government be permitted to tax such instruments the government using them does so only by permis- sion of the other. and Congress ap- pears to have recognized this prin- ciple by the insertion in Section 15 of the Act in question of a provision l reading: That it is the intent hereby | to exempt from the stamp taxes im- posed by this Act such state, county, | town, or other municipal corporations in the exercise only of functions strictly belonging to them in their ordinary governmental, taxing, or municipal capacity
 There would seem to be no good reason. however why tax stamps

should not be affixed 10 certificates which are required by Federal law to be filed by private persons and concerns of the kind enumerated by you. and this office is therefore of the opinion that you are correct in requir- ing tax stamps to be affixed to them. Referring to your question in re- gard to articles of incorporation you are informed that such instruments ordinarily require only one stamp. if, however, such document as requir- ed by law consists of more than one certificate, each being separate and apart, tax stamp should foe attach ed to each certificate.

 OF LUMBER ANNUALLY

WASHINGTON. July 24- Official announcement is made by the United States forest service that the Alaska Railroad Commission has been grant ed a permit from the forestry service to cut S5.0o0 100000 feet of timber in the Chugach forest reserve for use in constructing the government railroad.
 The timber will be cut in designated areas along the right of way of the new road. which runs for several miles through the Chugach reserves Forest service officials estimate that the timber to be cut is worth Sli5, 900 on the stump. lt is only one tenth of the estimated annual growth of timber in the forest reserve in Alaska.
 Forest officials here estimate that OO.O00OOO feet could be cut from the two reserves in Alaska every year without lessning productivity.

Ambitious Young Men
Blked by Fake Schools
/, Turning Out Detectives

Secretary of State Oleott has received
numerous requests for state licenses
from young men who have completed a
course in correspondence school which
graduates them as finished detective.
The state has no license bureau for de-
tectives which are almost always hired
by the cities or towns where thev are
employed and most cities prefer to train
their own detectives whose usefulness
depends more upon thorough knowl
edge of the city and wide acouaint.
ance with the faces of criminals than
it does upon any set of rules for catch
ing law violators.
1t appears that these detective
schools advertise in cheap publications
that they can turn out a full fledeed
detective for the small sum of a few
dollars and that high salary awaits
the "gradnate." The amateur detec-
tive usually gains lot of valuable
experience and insight in human nature
when he endeavors to get Job and is
usually content to go back to steady
Job driving a dray or clerking in
store.
