BANNERS PAY ALASKA
 TAX UNDER PROTEST
Pacific Fishermanl

Following the demand made on Jan. S0 by Attorney General Grigsby of the territory Of Alaska that the territorial license tax be paid, with accrued in- terest at s per cent, within sixty days from that date. the canners operating in Alaska have decided to pay the tax under protest. and payments are now being made. The controversy, how ever. is not by any means settled; the canners have an appeal now pending before the [. s. Supreme Court. and if the case is ultimately decided in their favor. as they confidently expect, a claim will be made against the ter ritory for the return of the money paid.
 The money in question is the amount Of taxes assessed on the cannery out put and on nets. etc, under the terri torial law from 1913 to 1916. The can nerymen questioned the power of the territorial legislature to levy such tax. as the fAderal government had already levied a similar tax on the same property, and a double tax of this nature was held illegal under the Or ganic Act On demanding payment of the tax last year John H. Cobb then chief counsel for Alaska. with the governors sanction, agreed with the packers that test suit should be brought. to be carried to a final judg- meEt in the highest court possible. The agreement stipulated that pending a, final decision payment would not be enforced, but that, if the law were up- held. the tax should be paid in full, with accrued interest at per cent. within sixty days; the penalty pro- yided by the territorial law being waived
 The case, brought before Judge Jen- nings at Juneau, was decided in favor of the territory, and the decision was upheld by the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco. The canners then applied to the Supreme Court for writ of certiorari, which was refused Jan 15 This decision was evidently taken as final by Attorney-General Grigsby of Alaska, who had succeeded MT Cobb, and who wrote to the can ners Jan. %. notifying them that un- less the taxes were paid within sixty days he would proceed to bring action against all the canners to collect the taxes, with the penalties in addition to accrued interest; but that the pen alties would not be imposed if pay ment were made within the time stat ed
 Meanwhile the canners have again appealed to the Supreme Court, on writ Of error, and feel that they should be granted the opportunity for really final decision of the case before mak- ! ing payment MT. Grigsby, however, has refused to recede from his pos ition in any way or to consider him. self bound by the stipulation previous ! ly made by Mr Cobb; and the canners after full consideration of the matter, have decided upon their present action and are paying the amounts demanded, under protest

THE OLD GARDNER SAYS

Time is gained by starting many kinds of flowers and vegetables in the house It is not too late for to- matoes, lettuce cabbage. brussels sprouts, and most of the annual flow CTS. Use good garden soil mixed with a little sand, and bake it in the oven to kill the weed seeds. Sow the seed lightly and thinly Simply sprinkle a little said over very fine seeds. Then cut a sheet of tissue paper the size of the box and lay it on the soil The paper will keep the seeds from being washed out and the plants will grow right thru it

 GOT THEIR NAME

From the early ninth century to the end of the middle of the nineteenth century, spinning was the chief occu- patton of women. A young woman was called spinster because she spun. If she became married she did, as a matter of course, take her married ti- tie, but if she remained unmarried she continued to be called spinster. From this has the name spinster survived for the torment and pleasure of old maids today.

PILOTS QUICK WIT
 SAVED TRANSPORT
 FROM DESTRUCTION
By Proper Move Sent Submarine To Bottom and Saved Several
 Hundred Lives

The novel destruction of German
 l6marine through the quick wit Of su unnamed French pilot is one of The war tales which will live for years -c come. To this pilots credit is the saving Of perhaps hundreds of lives, says the London Times.
 Ar the bottom of the British Chan nel lies the battered shell of German U-boar which. previous to it's demise, Lad been notorious for it's deadly work among craft of all kinds that happen ed 10 cross its path. To save the cen sor's blue pencil, more about the work or this steel shark of the sea and it's labitual rendezvous is better left un- said. but the topic of interest is that Er came to it's end in a most unexpected manner.
 1 great transport vessel loaded with British soldiers was the intended vic jim Of the submarine. Despite tor pedo boats conveying the transport. he U-boat audaciously appeared close 10 the French coast and shot it's tor Dedo. 4 few minutes before, a French pilot had boarded the ship to take her safely into the shallow channels which led to the harbor.
 This pilot held the wheel when the submarine poked her periscope above the choppy waves. He saw the tor p=do come blowing toward the ship.
 4 piece Of clever maneuvering caus- ed the half ton of explosives to rush past the transport missing her by a narrow margin. The khaki crowd aboard watched the show with silent interest. Their lives were in the lands Of the Frenchman up on the bridge. Not a sound came from any one The only noise was that of the big craft yeering sideways to miss the torpedo and the swish of the water as it passed.
 The torpedo boats began to get into action. They could not fire for fear of hitting their convoy, but they rush. ed in circles in an effort to train their guns on the enemy. The latter how,- ever. was also constantly maneuyering
 The submarine commander was watching the destroyers and paying no attention to the big unwieldy trans port which seemed to be wallowing in the trough Of the waves.
 The French pilots part of the drama though. was not so important as the submarine commander thought. By pulling Of hell ropes and pressing of buttons the pilot soon had his ship under control. He veered her about so sharply that the submarine was quick . ly entrapped under the transports stern Every mortal aboard heard the grinding and ripping of steel plates as the transports swiftly reeolving pro peller ate it's way into the U-boat 4 rumbling sound and great patches ot blue oil on the surface of the water were soon the only evidence Of the sub marine Then the pilot calmly signal ed for full speed ahead and took his ship safely into harbor
