AL ASKA LETTER

AL ASKA LETTER
 SEATTLE, Nov, 10- "The Univer- sity of Washington must be . big bro-
 ther to Alaska until Alaska has a uni-
 verSity of its own" is the assuring
 message of Henry, president of the
 University of Washington, in answer
 co letter written by the Alaska Bur-
 .au upon receipt of a letter from the
 Juneau Commercial Association urg-
 ing that no limit be pleaced on the registration of Alaskans in the state institution. The action of Juneau Com. mercial Association is in anticipation of any steps which may be taken by the Board of Regents to limit the re- gistration of students after this quar- ter.
 Recognizing the importance of fostering friendly relations between Alaska and Washington, President Suzzalo has hastened to assure the Alaska Bureau of the willingness of the state university to always heartily cooperate with Alaska.
 Some of the men from Alaska were admitted on special dispensation this year, after the formal registrs- ton because we had to take into con sideration the sailing dates of the steamers" President Suzzallo stated in showing how the situstoh was met this fall. We feel special obligation to care for the Alaska people because practically all of. them are coming: here. I understand that all of the. re- cent high school graduates of Alasks except three came to the university. l will present your communication to the Board with assurance that they will share the attitude. of the admin istration &s here expressed" :'.
 Thirty-four students from Alaska attended the University of Washing ton during the regular session last year, an increase of twenty-one over the proceeding year, according to fig ures recently compiled by the state university. Of this number practically every section of Alaska was represent ed from the southeastern towns to the Fairbanks valley and Nome.
 For several years Alaskan students have belonged to the 'Sourdough Club on the campus. Prior to the war, more than eighty former University of Washington students were living in CT near Juneau, Alaska, where meetings were held regularly to renew college : interests and to work for the advance ment of the university, which must continue to be University for Alaska as we'll as. of Washington, untii Alaska otvns q university of her own. =

 GOLDEN PTARMIGAN
 Last Tuesday, Private Anrig and Volenchi, members of the local detach- ment of the Fist Infantry. decided to climb Marathon Mountain in search of ptarmigan. Equipped with shot guns and plenty of ammunition they start ed out and by evening had succeeded in potting eleven nice fat specimens of the feathered tribe. Tired but hap py they returned to quarters and per- suaded the cook to dress and prepare the birds for a feast. Now comes the most interesting part of the story which is vouched for and sworn to by the cook, the hunters and every other member of the detachment.
 On Wednesday morning the cook. O. M. Brown while preparing the birds was amazed to find a small gold mug get in the craw of one of the birds. When he had ossured himself that the nugget was real gold he carefully in spected the remaining contents of the craw and found two more of about the same size. He informed the rest of the soldiers of his extraordinary find al d by so doing created a desire on the part of every member to go hunting. The nuggets were brought to town by Private Evans and shown to several expert mineroigists among whom were B. D. Stewart. Mine Inspector for Alaska and F. G. Macdonald of the Treadwell company. The gold was pro- nounced good quality and of the placer kind. 1t was flat and dull in color and the total value of the three nuggets was placed at approximately $4.00. Some where on Marathon noun tain or along Resurrection Creek or one of the many creeks tributary to it the ptarm;gan that produced the find picked up the nuggets with other gra- vel and pebbles. Gold colors of the flour varity have been found on Re surrection and other streams in the vicinity but nothing like the nuggets discovered in the dead bird have ever been discovered. The snow in the .ugulches and OF Marathon Mountain at the present time make it impossible for the lucky hunters to go prospect ing but it is a cinch that if they are still in Seward next summer that they will spend all of their time in the vicinity where they shot the birds looking fer the place where the ptar- migan picked up three valuable di- gestive pills.
 In the meantime the nuggets are being carefully guarded. One of the richest sapphire mines in Montana
 q. was discovered by prospector who found polished stone in the craw of blue grouse which he had killed, So Sswhy not placer mine from the con tsats of a ptarmigans eraw.

Legal Status
Fixed For Bank
Federal Reserve System Sustain
ed by Court

New Orleans. Nov. 19-The legal
status OF the federal reserve banking
system rs distinguished from that of
state and ordinary national banks.
and their right to collect checks at
par from non members of the system,
was effectively determined in an i'm
portant decision rendered in the Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals
here today.
The case was decided on an appeal
by the American Bank and Trust
company of Cordele, Ga, from the
decision of the United States district
court of Georgia i'm 2 suit against the
federal reserve bank of Atlanta In
this case the Georgia district court
denied the injunction against the fed
eral reserve board Sought by the state
banks TO prevent the collection Of
checks al par over the counters of
the state banks, they not being mem
bers of the federal reserve banking
system.
The state banks also claimed the
right TO proceed against the federal
reserve board in the state courts as
against ordinary national banks.
lnlS contention was also denied by
the district court, the decision being
affirmed in the ruling made here to-
day.
In affirming the decision Of the ap-
pellate court it is pointed out that
the federal reserve board, unlike ma
tional banks, are banks of deposit
and discount for other banks only
and are not for the convenience of
the general public. Neither are they
subject to the same rules and regula-
tionS as national banks, strictly
termed.
The decision was rendered by SEN
ior Judge Walker, Judge Bryan aud
District Judge Grub sitting on the
| bench.
More than 300 Southern banks are
affected by the decision.

Work For FAX
Commission
Scope of Commission to be En-
larged Next Year

Columbia, Nov. 1S.-EnlargeI work
for the lax commission will be asked
OF the lo.l Legislature, and the com
mission has asked the budget commits
sion for an enlarged appropriate n TO
cover this expansion, Tax Commissi IN
er C<utrrv having appeared befor, the
budget commission this week.
I'm s;.saking of the enlarged w'oi k.
MIR. GERRY states that the chief .iem
in the program is the employmen, y:
two additional field men, 10 investi-
gate assessments and find property
thai i low escaping taxation.
The tax commission now employees
two field agents, and these men have
found thousands of dollars worth Of
property that was escaping taxation.
Their work has greatly enhanced the
value of the commission, it is stated
and the commission feels that if ad-
dtional men can be employed, the
benefits of the system will be more
apparent and beneficial to the people
OF the state.
The tax commission expects to have
q delegation of Sumter merchants at
Its offices on December Sth, to dis
cuss the matter of assessments for
next year, due to the falling off in all
property values. Mr.. Query, of the
commission, states that he would be
glad TO have similar delegations from
all counties. that the work of the COM
mission can be explained personally.
Tax laws will be the main subject
before the Legislature in January. A
complete revision Of the tax system
will be recommended and il is likely
that laws will be enacted which will
increase the states revenue and at
the same time more equally distribute
the burden of taxation.
