CITIES MOST
Most Saloons Were in the Municipalities Where Tax Limitations
 Are Severe

The passage of the Alaska pro- hibition law by Congress will put lot of work on the coming session of the Alaska Legislature. There will be a shortage in municipal and Alaska fund revenues that will amount to nearly $85O,OOO, for 326 saloons and six brewcries will 80 out Of existence with the end of the present year. These saloons pay a license fee Of $1,OOO each, and the cigar and other businesses that are incidental to the saloons will bring the total shriukagc of revenues 10 at least the first sum mentioned. Juneaus share of the loss will be considerable in excess of $2O,OOO.
 Half of this loss will be felt dur. ing the current year because the bill that has been passed by Con- gress authorizes the United States District Courts to issue licenses for the half year beginning July lst and terminating December 3lst next.
 The loss of revenues will affect the municipalities more than it will the Alaska fund for most of the sa- looms gre within the municipalities and the organic act limits the amount. of taxes they can levy and provides that they cannot create an indebted ness.

SEEK RAISE FOR U. FACULTY
Request for Special Legislative Appro-
priation Will Be Made
During Session.

Madison - request for a special
legislative appropriation to make pos
sible an increase in the scale of sal
aries Of professors and instructors at
the University of Wisconsin will be
made this winter, according to an an
nouncement made by President c. K.
Van Hise at recent faculty meeting.
For the last seven years, university
salaries have been based on fixed
scale which provides for normal pro-
motions and increases. This scale has
remained the same for seven years, al
though the cost of living has been in
creasing at the rate of 3.5 per cent
year or more. To keep pace with this,
President Van Hise proposes an in
crease throughout the scale. If the
change from the old scale to the new
is made in part e"oh year, it will in
volve an annual az don of about $780,
600 to the budget.

TO PROPOSE CHANGE IN LAW
troduce Measure to Modify
Widows Pension Law.

Green Modification of the wild
ows' pension law will be proposed in
bill which Senator Timothy Burke of
Green Bay will introduce, The senator
outlined his views on the changes he
believes should be made in the law.
"a residence of one year in a local
ity should be required of all applicants
for a widows pension" said Senator
Burke. "The applicant should prove
she is not the owner of property and
has no other, source of income before
court should grant the petition,
think. The law is being abused in
some counties now, and if the abuse
continues there will be a concerted eff
fort to repeal the law, and thus deprive
deserving women of a pension"

DISTRICT AROUND BLACK RIVER
FALLS MAY BE DEVELOPED
ON LARGE SCALE.
MUCH LAND BEING BOUGHT
Whiteside Mining Company Has Pur.
chased Nearly $4,000 Acres
in the Past Five Years-Ore
Found Near Surface.

Black River Falls-According to a
survey recently completed by the State
Geological society and in view of the
activities of mining companies, this
region, it is thought, may develop into
one of the richest iron mining dis
trict in the state.
Five years ago the Whiteside Mining
company of Duluth set diamond drill
to work seven miles east of Rlack
River Falls. Considerable work was
done, but no one except the owners
and operators ever heard what the re-
suit of the prospecting was. But after
two years this company began buying
land in that section where it had been
drilling, until at the present time it
owns upwards of 10000 acres. When
the Geological society reported indica-
ton of rich iron deposits, the White
side company was forced to come out
in the open, since no one who owned
land in the section would sell it. The
company has paid as high as $l00 an
acre for some OF it's holdings.
Another concern, the Crosby Mining
company, has been purchasing land in
this locality, and still is buying all il
can get AS consequence OF these
two companies buying against each
other the price of mining ground has
in some cases been multiplied ten
times
Now the Whiteside company is in
stalling machinery to open up a mine.
Three car loads of equipment were re-
ceived few days ago.
The ore in this region is not of a
high grade. it Is said, but it is near
the surface and can be mined at n
cost which is said to make it more
valuable than high grade ore deeply
buried.

munitiOn manufacturers by Secretary

specifically in the secretary's state

facturers for willingness to assume
their share in the program of prepar-
edness, Mr.. Daniels says:
THAT other large manufacturers of
