IF YOU ARE WELL z

You never omit making a call of
coincidence on any friend who is in
trouble, but you make that call & brief
one.
If you feel you cannot say any
thing comforting or fear you cannot
be composed, it is better to send a
note.

ALASKA PACKERS LOSE MONEY 1921

The Twenty-Ninth Annual Report of the Alaska Packers Association shows the operating losses ot the Packers ln 1921 to have been $l27,971.60. This loss, however, was principally caused py inventory adjustments.
 However, the Alaska Packers were able to pay quarterly dividend of S2 per share from the earnings of the In surance Fund. The Association car ries its own insurance on buildings, wharves, machinery, equipments, fufn- iture and the products of its own plants. At the close of 1920 the In surance Fund of the Association amounted to $3,65S,77S.3 which sum is invested in bonds and farming lands in California. From the interest on these investments the association was able during 1921 to pay dividends to t6he extent of $575,O16.
 The Association operated 12 plants in Alaska and one in Puget Sound last year. The total catch of these plants was 693,O42 cases and 561 barrels oi salt salmon.
 The Association during 1921 expand ed s25O,00O in the Territory which is credited to the policy of the Associa- tion to assist in the development of the Territory. The Fortmann salmon hatchery liberated 17,375,OO0 fry, thus giving 6something in return for the fish taken.

FAMINE KILLING SIX THOUSAND
 PRISONERS NEAR EXCHANGED

KHOLMOGORI, Russia, Jan. 26.- Famine and privations are killing off the 5000 or 1000 men and women po- litical prisoners here mostly from Baku and other points of the Cauca- sus republics. Unless released under the clauses of the conditional amnes- ty published Nov 2, it is believed all will perish of hunger during the win ter.
 Many of the 1500 who came here last March have been robbed of their clothing and valuables and their hun ger is such that they are now in the swelling stage of famine.
 They are confined in monastery with red pickets posted several miles distant so no one can approach the place Of a group of ninety sent here from Baku, many of whom were con- panions of the English prisoners there all but one have been executed.
 The little town has long been noted as a prison. Anna .Leopoldovna, who was regent of Russia in 1746-47, act ing for her infant son, Ivan VI, died a prisoner here in 1746.

QUEENSLAND DESIRES AN
 ADDITIONAL LOAN FROM U. S

SYDNEY, N. S. w., Feb. 4.-The American loan of twelve million dol lars to Queensland is merely a prelude to an important financial transaction between the United States and the lit tie country of Queensland according to the opinion expressed here today in we'll informed circles here.
 It was pointd out that Premier The odore of Queensland contemplates a trip to America soon to raise an addi- tionaI loan primarily for the acquisi- ticn of the Brisbane tramways and the establishment of state steel and iron works at Bowen.
 Although it is believed that the loan could be obtained in America at the interest rate of the recent loan, it is considered doubtful whether Premier Theodore despite the need of his gov ernment for financial aid would be prepared to pay the seven per cent rate of the former obligation.
 Very little of the twelve million loan will be available for expenditure in the country when London commit ments have been met.

JULES VERNE'S HERO IS

 A suggestion for even reducing the time to 300 hours was made by one expert who said this would be possible is "airmen's islands" or floating fuel bases" were established at points in the Atlantic where the mailplanes could replenish their fuel. Such a scheme would make possible speed of 100 miles an hour he estimated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Journalists of more or less note, authors of more or less standing, and plain everyday reporters, altogether to the total of 512 are engaged in telling what makes the wheels go round at the armament conference.
 An official list of the accredited cor respondents as issued by the commit tee having charge of press arrange ments shows that practically every country of size noted on a modern map has one or more press representatives on the ground. Japan takes first placa among foreign nations with over forty correspondents. The list as published comprised only those writers who had been accredited to the state depart ment. It was estimated that at least half as many more probably were ac- credited to side lines assisting those assigned directly to the conference or it's subsidiary activities.

FINAL QUARTER
 1921 IS MARKED
 BY LARGER TAX
ALASKA FUND INCREASED OVER 1920 RETURNs-coAsT TOWNS
 PAY MOST OF TAXES

The above is the total of the Alaska Fund for 'ne quarter ending December 31 1S@i. according to renorts received by C.; |. c. ; Ward 5isbrusing officer of the Alaska Road Commission, and acting president during the absence ot Col. J. G. Steese. Figures on the fund by divisions were forwarded to Capt Ward by the office of Clerk of the U s. District court in each district.
 The Alaska Road Commission share in this money is 65 per cent and for the above quarter amounts to $25, 432. Ten per cent of the total goes to the care and maintenance of oindi gents in the Territory and 25 per cent to schools.
 The fact that the Third division re .ceipts to this fund leads all others is exceptional, says the Juneau Empire which alleges that receipts from the First division are larger than any of the others. No figures are as yet avail able for the entire year but it is be lieved that they will show the First division to be in the leading place, The Alaska Fund is made up of virtually all Federal tax collections in the Ter ritory except the income tax.
 The final quarter of last year shows a material increase over the same quarter for the year 1920. Total col lections for the latter period amount ed to S21 1,713.23.
