1S,000 PAY POLL
 TAX DURING 192O; SHOWS DECREASE
Collections for Year Amount to $00, 300 - Taxes Still
 Due from Year Previous.

More than 18,000 persons paid poll taxes during the calendar year of 1920 in Alaska, according to figures given out yesterday by Wal stein G. Smith, Territorial Treas urer. Poll tax collections from all judicial Divisions up to the close of business December 31, 1920, ac- cording to MT. Smith, totaled slight ly more than $90,30O.
 Out of this amount, approximately $S2,600 was received from the First and Third Divisions. From the Bristol Bay section almost 25,0O0 in collections was received. The greater part of this was derived from the employees of big fishing companies. The Third Division leads all others in receipts.
 The collection of taxes by division follows:
 First Division $32, 900 Second Division ....-.......-. $500 Third Division .-.----...--..-... 50. 600 Fourth Division .-...-- 4,2O0
 
 1O1aI -----.------------..------.-----9 99U, obu
 Compared with the amount of actual cash received by the Treas urer for 1919, poll tax collections for 1920 are in excess of those of the former year, approximately $85- 900 being paid in for the calendar year of 1919. However, something like $20,000 is still due the Ter ritory, for taxes collected from em- ployees of the fishing interests in Bristol Bay and which is being held by the companies pending the outcome of test cases to determine the legality of the Territorial act requiring the companies to be re- sponsible for the payment of the tax. The law has been upheld in the U. s. District Court and the Circuit Court of Appeals. The test case is now pending in the United States Supreme Court and a decision is expected at any time.
 Attorneys for the Territory are confident that the tax will be sus tained and the money held turned into the Territorial Treasury.

FOR
TREE HURTS
Sudden Activity of Old Sol
Causes Many Complaints
From Owners.

Leaves and tender shoots on trees
which pushed out during the cold damp
weather of the fore Part Of last week
were damaged by the hot, bright sun
shine Of the last thre days Of the week,
according to reports reacring George e.
Morgan, head 20 fthe special service Of
the city park department, today.
Mr. Morgan issued a special bulletin
upon methods Of preventing damage to
the leaves and shoots, as follows
young leaves and sometimes tender
shoots that have pushed out and become
somewhat developed during a siege of
cold, cloudy and wet weather frequently
wither and die when exposed to the hot
bright sun that comes later and follow
ing such conditions. The trouble usually
occurs when a rather moist spring such
as the one just experienced Is followed by
such weather as we are having at present.
MANY complaints are coming relative
to trees thus affected, especially sugar
naples, that are losing the green in the
leaves In that part most distant from the
stem. The cause is a lack of water
supply in the leaf tissue which causes
death to the least resistant portions OF
the leaf during a hot and dry spell.
"To remedy above conditions keep soil
cultivated around trees. Such practice
will tend to conserve the moisture and
aerate the soil, also good watering will
tend to correct the conditions and an
application by top dressing of either
nitrate Of soda or suphate of ammonia
will stimulate more healthy and luxuriant
foliage.
Those citizens having the above or
any other tree or shrubbery trouble may
receive instruction and advice free Of
charge by application to the Special
Service Department Public Parks.
