"All road work under the super vision of the Alaska Road Commis- sion in the Haines, Sitka and Peters burg sections is progressing in fine shape" was the statement made this morning by Superintendent J. c.

CANNERYMEN WERE ALL REGISTERING
 UNDER DRAFT LAW

United States Marshal J. M. Tan ner and John T. Reed, Deputy Clerk of the District Court, returned last evening from a trip of eleven days in Southeastern Alaska. Their miss ion was to give an opportunity to all persons located at the various canneries and out-of-the-way points to register under the selective draft act. They made the greater part of the trip on the forestry boat Tahn. While away, forty men were regis tered by the officials and much done
 in the way of giving instructions to those registering.
 Both officers stated this morning that at every place visited the men were anxious to register and that none of those eligible evinced any inclination to evade the law. The managers of the canneries had ac- complished much in lining up the men. Over six hundred men have registered at Ketchikan. Excellent weather was experienced on the trip.

LIQUOR TAX AS
 WAR MEASURE TO
 SOON BE KNOWN

Just what amount of tax the retail liquor dealers of Juneau will be call ed upon to pay to the government as the result of an extra tax to be placed on certain distilled and fer mented liquors, is very problemati- cal
 Congress is considering a general Revenue Bill which has been pend ing before that body for some time. Among it's provisions is a proposed tax, the rate not stated, upon all distilled spirits in quantities over fifty gallons in the possession of dealers, after the passage of the bill, on fermented liquors, still wines, li- quers and brandy used in the forti- flying of sweet wines, and tobacco manufacturers.
 From the date of the enactment of the law, dealers will be required to take an inventory of the amount of spirits on hand and to pay the tax thereon at the rate specified in the bill, which it is said is $210 addi tional on distilled spirits. The pres ent rate on distilled spirits is $1.10 per gallon.
 The Collector of Internal Revenue at Tacoma, under date of August 25th, forwarded a circular letter to all local dealers informing them that such tax was contemplated and instructing them to watch the daily papers for full particulars as to the various rates of taxation. date of be coming effective and other matter. pertaining to make remittance of the tax Nothing has been received from the revenue department since that date and, of course, no taxes will be paid until the law is passed and the blank forms issued by the de partment. It is said that Congress will probably pass the revenue bill this week
 For the information of local deal CTS it may be said that the proposed increased tax covers all those spirits and liquors embraced in the sol called war tax" of 1914 when in dividual stamps were required to be placed upon each bottle

sockeye tails, but as the pack on tails is a negligible quantity, the quotation is immaterial. Salmon in flat cans are hand-packed, those in tails being packed by machinery. The trade likes both varieties al though there is no difference in quality and the flats are slightly more expensive to handle.
 What Comparison Shows
 For purposes of comparison the "big run" of the years of 1909, 1913 and 1917 on sockeye tails show best the condition of the market at pres ent. For these three years sockeyes have been quoted at $1.35, $1.50 and $290 respectively.
 Opening quotations on pinks, or humpies, show that brokers expect that fish to hold it's own, despite bearish reports of big catches be- ing sent out Humpies are selling at 25 to 27 cents fish and at that rate, packers and brokers say, the market must be held up.
 Following are the opening quota tations being per dozen cans, black mon for the past ten years, the quo tations being per doben cans, black face type indicating the big sockeye years.

of contempt. However, when Betty
learns that her father is trying to put
through big land deal with Brain s
father, she decides that her wiles will
be useful in bringing the transaction
to successful close.
Betty goes West to visit Jennings,
her fathers agent on the Indians land.
Brain has preceded her there. At the
first meeting of the two, the girl be-
gins to exercise her arts, and she soon
has the Indian where she wants him.
Then Brain advises his father to sign
the land contract, and the old Indian
does so. Only when Betty acknow-
Lodges that she had been leading him
on for this purpose does Brain realize
the trick she has played on him.
But Betty's confession has made her
discover that she really loves the big
Indian. So, in the end, she capitulates
and both Betty and Brain are happy.
