Tho Douglas Island News was started in Douglas on November 23. |lS9S. having bocn moved from wrauecI Alaska where Che plant was arst set up on June s. 1898.
 The first owners and publishers wero Charles A. Hopp and A. c. Me- Bride brothorsin-law who operated . it on partnership basis for about @ year. whom Mr. Hopp purchased his partners interest Mr. Hopp con- tnued Go publish Che "groat relig- ious weekly" untu five years ago. when he sold out to E. J White. Mr. Uopp subsequently, wont Co the south and died shortly af,crwarda
 Having previously been always issued on Wednesday, whom Mr.. White assumed charge ho changed
 Che day of publication Co Friday
 Just hrcc years ago Mr. White assumed Che position or Chief Of Che Territorial Bureau Of Publicity and re,uqu.shcd active management Of the prper. although sdl owning an of It J. R Lmnescth assumed tho manarement of Che News and J. F. Henson became editor and these two men hayc operated tho plant untu uow Wi.h chem the contInu- sion of Che Douglas leland News was more or less labor of love .ro former hauHs boon connected witch tho paper for more chan dozen years and Che latter having arst worked on lt almost nHctcon years ago. whom ho entered Che ot- gce as "doul" under Che Chen com- oosItor Fred Hcrshaw

KETCHIKAN IS
 GROWING CITY
Tax Rolls Show That Property Values in First City Have
 Grown to Great Extent

Based on % per cent valuation. property ih Che city of Kotchikan for Che year 1921 is assessed at S3,- i99339.5O. This would bring tho total property value mp to $4GG5.- S22.66 on 100 per cent value basis. And even chat would not represent Che mu amount of money invested n property. for it is well known that despite Che efforts Of Che coun- el and officials to obtain fair values. some properties are assessed consid- erably less than they are worth. In addition Go this. there is approxi- mately a million dollars invested in boats which make Kctchikan theiT headquarters and which are not as- sessod at an. even though they arC actually Kctchihan property. going scldom to any ports except ketchi' kan. from which they operate in th' fisheries.
 Thus. it is a certainty that th' true value Of property In Ketchikar is valued at a figure upward Of S6, 100000.
 The foregoing facts together witl Che fact that Ketchikan does ten elevenths of the customs business O Alaska In Che matter Of entrance and cloarauces. together with re cofvIue more merchandise than an, other town. puts it in Che first DO dtion Of tho cities of the North.
 Showing Che steady growth Il property values iu Ketchikan. ma l be taken thc assessments for th past throo years. In 1919 the tota assessment was S1.6SO,033, and witt S72.6SO exempt from taxation. taxe were paid on $1,60I353.
 In 1920. the total assessment wa S8.O89l2O. Of which $244,225 wa exempt leaving $2,79AS95 O which taxes were paid.
 In 1921 tho total assessment s3.409.449. of which S361,25o is c2 empt leaving S813S.199.5o O which taxes are to be paid. rh total amount Of money to be collec. ed on taxes this year, at tho rai of Q per cent. will be $62,763.9' which is S6.666.O9 more than la' vear.-Ketchikan Chronicle.
