Taxation Unequal
On the Powell Flat
Recent Court Decision Legally
Right But EquitabIy Wrong Is
The Feeling Among the
Project Settlers.
Powell. wyo., June II. 1922.


Editor of The Enterprise:
The recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States pertaining
to the taxation of land under reclama-
ton projects is looked upon by many
of the property owners in this vicinity
as working a hardship upon a large
number of taxpayers.
This decision allows a part of the
people living on the project. not only
here but on all reclamation projects
in the United States, to get by with
nearly all their property exempt from
taxation, leaving the burden to the
rest.
Until two years ago our state law,
through its peculiar wording, was
was construed to mean hat land on
a reclamation project was taxable on
its valuation where final certificate
had been issued, and where proof of
residence only had been made could
only be taxed for the equity the set
tier had in it,.
h caused a very unequal rate OF
taxation and as a result a good deal
of dissatisfaction. Therefore, during
the last session of the legislature this
law was changed and a plan worked
out by the assessor so as to give a
very fair and equitable taxation as be-
tween the settlers on the project.
Now, however, through the deci-
sion of the supreme court which was
handed down ON a similar case ap-
pealed from the district court of Ari-
zona, everything lone to ~equalize the

with a grin when he returned last
week with twenty five head of buck

the country between Cody and Har-
din. Montana.
That he knows what he is talking
about goes without saying for the
track manager of the Cody Stampede

bareback rider and one of the best
bronc riders in this whole western
country.
They are a "snaky,' oily, salty
bunch of buckers, or, In other words,
10 make u meaning clearer, plumb
dirty with their cookin'."
They are heavy. weighing between
twelve and thirteen hundred, fat and
slick as seals and with a certain lcS.s
in their eyes calculated to throw a
scare into n rider who ordinarily
might have his share of courage.
About thirty or thirty-ive head
more are wanted so il anyone has a
bad actor that needs riding the Siam
pede is the place for the horse to
meet his master. There is a prize of
$25 for the best bucker in addition to
the price of $3.50 a ride paid by the
Association.
Ten head OF Jim Corder's unbroken
mules will be on hand for the bare
back mule riding. and those who saw

 His son, David, who is studying for the ministry, secretly marries Nan, stepdaughter Of the village odd-jobs man, and their union Is about to be blessed with a child. The elder learns of his sons responsibility True to her promise to her weak husband, Nan does not announce that she Is David's wife, and Is driven from home. She goes to New York where her child is born, and where she falls into a life of shame. David in the meantime maintains a cringing sil- ence. Judith Beresford, daughter of the Puritan, takes Mans part, and is likewise driven from home She meets Nan in New York and when the lat ter dies takes care of her child. Before she deis, Nan tells Judith of llel IlldI lldSC JIullIl utCluto lHdl ut1 brother shall clear Nan's name and recognize his child She and the child arrive home on the day that David is to be ordained. As he stands before the congregation, Judith confronts him with hsi child and he confesses.

BREEZY NEWS
 ABOUT DOINCS
 NEARBY CAMP
(From Mccarthy News)

A special effort is being made by the Mccarthy Commercial Club and the Pioneers to secure some assis- tance from the Territorial funds for the Chisana trail immediately.
 The urgent necessity is for the stalk ing of the trail over the Rohn and the levelling of the approaches on both sides, where it is now almost impossible to cross. The travellers over the trail this winter have all done their share. of stalking the trail it being absolutely necessary fol their safety. This they have done entirely without compensation. It was understood early this year that $600 were available for this purpose, but when it comes to the actual spending of the money the fund seems very elusive, although numerous kilograms have been ex- changed with the authorities at Jun eau.
 Meanwhile the Chisana people are going ahead with the freighting of their supplies as best they can, for time is very valuable with them, as they must land their outfits in the interior camp before the breakup.
 What might have been serious fire occurred last Saturday night when a fire broke out in the roof Of the cabin occupied by Mrs. Wells and her children, just at dusk. It was. caused by spark Sitting down into the chinking. In few minutes the roof was ablaze. The Fire D6' partment, in fact the whole town, were soon on the scene and forming bucket brigade soon had it ex- tingutshed. Only Mrs. Wills, Marion and Verna were home at the time and are now the guests of the Hotel Golden till the cabin is put in shape again; everything being pretty well soaked in water
 Three new members were, added to the Mccarthy Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska, at the last meeting when Jack OHara, w. H. Wakefield and Ed. Bassett were initiated.
 Jack O'Hara first came to Skag- way in 1900 and until he made trip outside this past winter had resided continuously in the territory.
 w. H. Wakefield, who helped to build the Copper River and North western Railway first arrived in Dyea in 1898.
 Ed Bassett, resident of Nizina for the past ten years, has been all over the territory since 1898 the year he came to Juneau, having been employed on several of the boundary surveys in the capacity as chef.
 MT. Farnan drew the attention of the Mccarthy Igloo to the fact that no financial assistance had been re- ceived to put the Chisana trail in shape for hauling the miners sup plies into the interior. A telegram Juneau asking for assistance on this has been sent to Juneau asking for assistance on this project.
 The, prize winners at the Pioneers Dance were Mrs. J. P. Hubrick and Mrs Roy Snyder
