 Just word in line with our con- versation of last summer. regarding the possibilities Of air transportation to and from some Of the mining properties in the Interior.
 Il have Interested a couple of fel~ lows, with good outfit, who have been flying between St, Paul and Duluth for the past five years and have handled thousands of passengers without forced landing, and who are keen about going to Alaska. think they are just what y0u will need up there.
 They have new ship of 150.horse- power, with Hispano engine, one of the finest made, and l cannot see any reason why they will not make good. They will be there about April l, and will be ready for business nos later than the 18th. They will be able to take at least three passengers st time. Now, if you fellows will travel with them they will land you over at your workings in minutes where ie would otherwise take days. Their price will be reasonable. /"

Hints. to Those Making
 Income Tax Returns

Tacoma.-In the making of an in- come tax return for the year 1925. tax. payers of every class, business and pro- fessional men, salaried persons, wage earners and farmers should Ipresent to themselves for consideration the fol lowing questions, says Burns Poe. col lector of internal revenue:
 Did you receive any interest on bank deposits?
 Did you receive any income in the form of dividends or interest from stocks or bonds?
 Have you any property from which you receive rent?
 Did you receive any bonuses during the year?
 Did you make any profit on the sale of stocks, bonds. etc.?
 Did you act as broker in any trans- action for which you received a com mission?
 Are you interested in any. partners ship or other firm from which you re- ceived income?
 Have you any income frora>royalties or patents?
 Have you any minor children who are working? Have you control of the earnings of
The Kusko times., 1924-03-15

such children? If so, the amount must be included in the parents return of income.
 Has your wife any income from any source whatever? If so, it must be in- cfuded in your return. or reported in a separate return of income.
 Did you receive any directors fees in the course of the year?
 Did you hold any office in benefit society from which you received in- come2
 Answers to these questions are neces- sary in the filing of correct income tax return.
 If single tor married and not living with wife1 and the net income was Sl,0OO or more, or if married and living with wife and the couples net income was S2,000 or more, or the gross iacome was S5,000 CT more, a rotarn is re- quired. The fact that the income may not be taxed by reason of the personal exemptions-Sf,0 900 for a single person, &, 800 for married persons whose net income was 5000 or less, and S2,00O for married persons whose net income was in excess of s5o00, plus the S4O0 credit for each dependent--does not alter this requirement
 The filing period ends at midnight of March l5. 1924. Forms for flipg re- turns may be obtained at the office of collector of internal revenue, Tacoma, Wash.
 Persons whose net income was s5,OO0 or less and was derived chiefly from salary or wages should ask for Forms lO40.A. Those whose net income was in excess of s5,0o0, or, regardless of the amount, was derived from business. profession or farming, should ask for Form lO4O

Not Cultivate
 Strawberries Right
 Here in Tokotna ?

Experimental work done at tho gov aEnmsnt agricultural stations in Alaska mss resulted in the. development of a number of excellent varieties of straw berries suitable to Alaskan conditions os soil and climate, according to 8 re- csas aoaouneenent of the Department of Agrioulture.
 The wild native strawberry was made use ofto some extent in develop Ing commercial varieties. Growing for Chs market on & fairly large scale is as ret confined to residents of the town of H&ines and to homssteaders in that vi- eini63s Nearly every farmer h that locality has one or more acres in straw berries. The. crop is shipped to all nearby markets afording transporta- sion facilities and more especially to Canadian territory, Whitehorse, Daw- son. and to points on the Yukon. The EAiEes strawberry growers have won 6 asservedly tengiable reputation for sheir fruit, whichspets them 35 cents a box. M&tanuska berries were shipped regularly to the Fairbanks market and sold st 75 cents box for the first time during the summer of 1922 One home steadcr is said to have sold several hundred dollars worth in that market during tho season.
 The Sitks hybrids have been estab- lishsd S.t .ths Matanuska station and shs, plants have been freely distributed to the settlers, who have grown them with much success. The hybrids are not particular as to soil, apparently ahriving in any type of soil. At Sitka Ghsy are raised in peaty soil, a Haines tn 8 mixture of clay and sand, at Skag- way in sandy soil, and at Masanuska and Fairbanks in silt loam.

Aged Hiker Making
 Jaunt of 5000 Miles

Detroit.-Search for knowledge and health, uet wealth or craving for no-. torietv, prompted James Alloy .Htll, nearly threeseore and ten years of age, and 6 rheumatic. to pick up his crntch and camera and start ons cross country hike from Lambs End at the westernmost point of Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, to Eastport, Me.
 The two points are the farthest apart of any in the United States, and on February 2 three years elapsed since Hill took off. This. is his thirteenth long hike in fifteen years. none of them under l,000e miles. He has no time limit, gets no wages, and the only spec tacular feature of the present expedi- tion, apart from it's being made by septuagenarian and with the aid of a crutch, is his collection of official sig natures and seals.
 Hills home is in Berkeley, Cal, and he was at one time postmaster St Tan cred, Gal. < Among other carios shat he carries with him is what he claims to be a genuine copy of New York newspaper announcing the assassina- tion- of President Lincoln.

partial referendum on the prize
winning plan of the Edward Box
award for the promotion off peace
among nations. The referendum will
be representative, and is expected to
be balloted on by fully half the entire
membership.
The balloting will be conducted
through the state organizations of the
Legion and through the American
Legion Weekly. Members will be
asked as a rule only to vote "yes"
or mo" on their acceptance Of the
plan, after its publication by news
papers.
Indicative of the attitude of Legion
officials toward the plan is a state
ment of E. Arthur Ball, department
commander for Indiana, that while
the Legion views any suggestion for
universal peace with interest and
with hope, the members will at all
times be wary of any idea which may
tend to compromise national honor
or be in variance with what they
were taught by their experiences
in the mud of Flanders. Other
officials declare that "Any plan the
Legion may approve ought to be
workable"

ley, they say, is one of the best sec
tions they have struck for long time.
In the upper end of that valley they
have caught a number of timber
wolves and at this season the fur is
"prime."
The timber wolf, according to these
trappers, is really coyote that grows
little larger and has better fur than
the common yellow coyotes of the
desert regions. The furs they had
with them were a rich gray, almost
white, in color. Wolf skins bring
from So to SIS apiece in the eastern
markets.
Part of the income of Casio and
Joy is derived from the sale of bear
skins. They hunt bears with the aid
of two diminutive dogs, neither of
which weighs over 30 pounds. The
dogs are half Airedale and half wire
haired terrier. Casio says that he
would rather have two well-trained
dogs like these than a whole pack of
just ordinary canines.-Jerome News.
