whole country is fairly sick with I'M

It was made evident that the dali

closure. Twenty additional members,
speaker announced, have sent in
their names. and probably others
will desire to be heard, the idea ap-
pearing to prevail that each mem

vote to his constituents.
The trend Of sentiment in the par

proceedings were of the opinion that
the prospects Of ratification have
improved. One speaker sharply criti-
csed the attitude Of some of the
members, suggesting that though
they vote against the treaty they
really hoped it would be approved.
This tended to confirm the reports,
that several deputies, though unwill
ing to expose the country to the
of rejection, wish to
maintain their personal position as
true republicans.

TAX ON EXPRESS
SHIPMENTS SOON
Local Agent PoInts out VIII Mean
Big Saving; Tax Runs from St7
to 500 Day Here; No Tax
After January I.

The public will save appros imately
$1,500000 month as result of
the elimination of the war tax on
express shipments, effective Janu.
ary T. according to George G. Tay-
lor, president Of the American Rail
way Express company. An announce
ment to this effect was made today
by O +. Nicholson, local express
agent.
"The revenue act of 1921 clint
mates the war tax of one cent on

This tax, during the year of 1920
amounted to total of SIT ,5029lS,
records show The average trans
portation charge for each express
shipment was approximately $3.50
and the average war tax for each
shipment was eight cents.
''In .Chickasha, the war tax on
express shipments was running from
$17 to 500 day.
"The treasury department has re-
quested express carriers to advise
all claimants who have claims for
overcharge, pending, or who file
such calims after December 81, 1921,
that claims for refund Of tax should
be field separately on Treasury Dc.
partment form No. 46 This should
be filed with the commission of in
ternal revenue within four years
from the time the tax was paid, the
claim being barred by statue of
limitations if it is received after
such time"
Mr.. Nicholson pointed out that as
the revenue act becomes effective
on January /, 1922, the tax on all
shipments forwarded prepaid on or
before December 81, will be collect
ed. On shipments forwarded "col
lect' and arriving after January
/, 1922, the tax will not be assessed

Well Is Coming Back.

Il. Il. Hughes and Walter Jones'
owners of the well, believed in it
and considerable money was spent
in putting in string of standard
tools for the purpose of cleaning it
out and shutting off the water that
had been giving trouble.
They have been on this job for
more than month now and are OBJ
tanning results. There Is still some
water In the well. 1t Is producing
through the pump about three parts
oil and one part water. The oil is
getting better, it separates from the
water readily and is being burned
under the boiler as fuel In addition,
the well is producing in the last
few days, enough gas to run the
boiler and the pumping test thus
far shows that it will do around 80
barrels Of oil a day.

not the case in certain sections of

GOOD WORK

Nenana is to be congratulated
upon having secured a star attrac-
ton for the forthcoming celebration
in the form of three-cornered
baseball series. with visiting teams
entered from Healy and Fort Glib
bon. With such an attraction as a
foundation, it should not be diff
cult to make the Nenana celebra-
ton one of the most successful in
the history of Interior Alaska and
we believe those in charge will do
it.
The arranging of the baseball
feature simply shows what can be
accomplished with the right kind of
effort Well directed effort and CO.
operation can accomplish wonders,
and the arrangement of the baseball
series shows that there is plenty
of both in Nenana. Let's work them
harder and oftener hereafter.
