ERECTION PLANNED FOR
 HOTEL IN KETCHIKAN

The Alaska Weekly (Seattle) has the following to say about the plans of Charles Ingersoll in regard to re- building the Revilla Hotel:
 Chas. Ingersoll, pioneer Alaska attorney, owner of the Revilla hotel at Ketchikan, recently destroyed hy fire, informs the Alaska Weekly that he has let a contract to the J. B. Warack Construction Company for the erection of concrete firel3roof mission style building, work to begin as soon as plans are completed. Law ton & Moldenhour, architects, with offices in the Alaska building, are preparing the plans, which call for Ia hotel modern in all respects. The hotel building will be three stories, lat the present time, but so con- structed that at least two additional stories may be added later. The ground floor will be devoted entirely to business purposes. The Bank of Alaska, soon to establish a branch lat Ketchikan, has taken the promi- |nent corner site, and other store rooms have been spoken for.
 All of the rooms in the hotel will have baths and will be beautifully furnished. Indeed, MT. Ingersoll Isays the hotel will be one of the fin est on the Pacific coast, as he feels that Ketchikan is a solid, subs tan tial town, with great future possibil- lities that will warrant a very consid- Ierable expenditure in giving the city a hotel modern in all respects. The contract calls for the compile tion of the ground floor part of the big structure by August 1 and the
 hotel part by October 1. Construc- tion work will be pushed with all
 possible expedition, in order to full fill this requirement..

SALT WATER PUMP IS
 UNDER CONSIDERATION
 FOR FIRE PROTECTION

A number of citizens met at the Wrangell Hotel last night to discuss the matter of securing a salt water pump for Wrangell. It is well known fact that the only thing that saved Ketchikan during the recent fire in that city was the constant streams of salt water that were kept going by the pumps on the vessels lying in port.
 o. D. Leet, manager of the Wran- gell Ice and Storage Company, is willing to permit the use of one of his engines to run a pump at any time. With the hose now on hand it would be possible to reach a fire as far down Front street as Ole John sons store. But in case a salt water pump should be installed more hose would of course be purchased. An
  ther thing that could be done which would give tremendous advantage in case of fire would be to pump salt water into the city main. This would give an inexhaustible supply of water in any part of the town that is reached by the main.
 Had a fire broken out in Wran- gell last summer when the supply of water in the town reservoir was so low there would doubtless have been a repetition of the big conflagration of 1906. The citizens are acting wisely in taking up this matter at this time instead of waiting until it is too late.
 Another strong argument in favor of improved fire protection is that it would result in lowering of the present insurance rates.
 A committee composed of F. E. Gingrass, E. M. Campbell and Arnt Sorset were appointed to obtain fur ther data and make recommendation as to size of pump required, etc., and report at a later meeting.

All Fishermen Must Now Pay
 Territorial Tax

The Territorial legislature for 1923 passed law to provide for the licensing of fishermen in the terri tory of Alaska. This law provides for a license for each fisherman fishing in the waters of Alaska whether he is resident or foreign fisherman. It is a personal tax payable by each fisherman and is in addition to the tax against seines and gill nets.
 The law provides the following taxes to be paid to the Territory:
 (a) For resident fishermen of all classes, s1.oO.
 (b) For nonresident fishermen who during the entire year use only hook and line, including trollers, but not including those who use set lines, $500.
 Co For nonresident fishermen who use gill nets or set lines, s10.
 (d) For nonresident fishermen who use seines or set nets, s25.00.
 This means that all fishermen must have a license
 A fine of s2OO or imprisonment in jail for thirty days is the penalty attached for failure to pay the tax.
 An application blank must be made out by every fisherman who desires license giving the age. place of residence in the Territory and how long he has been resi- dent. whether the applicant is nat. i've born or naturalized citizen.
 The term nonresident fisher man" as used in this law means one who is not a resident of the Terri tory of Alaska for at least six months immediately preceding the making of the application for a l- cense.
 The law makes it unlawful for any person, association or corpora tion to have in his or it's employ any fisherman who is not licensed as provided in the law. It is also un- lawful for any such person, associa- tion or corporation to purchase any fish from any person who does not have a license. Any person. associa- tion or corporation who does employ any such person who is not licensed to fish or purchases any fish from such a person is liable to fine and Imprisonment for so doing.
 The tax provided by the law is good from the date it is issued to the 31st of December of the same year This license, however, does not per init the fishing out of season or in places wheer other laws make it un- lawful to fish.

Lopp to Make
 Another Voyage
 Into the ArCticS

William T. Lopp, superintendent of education of the Natives in Alas ka, was aboard the Northwestern Saturday on his way to Seattle where he will be member of the personnel of the motorship Boxer. which leaves Seattle May for the Boring sea and Arctic ocean.
 MT. Lopp will make his annual trip of inspection of the reindeer herds and of the general conditions of the numerous Bureau of Educa- tion schools and stations, and does not anticipate returning to his An chorage office for several months.
 Loaded with supplies and provi- sions the Boxer will head for the north May l, according to MT. Lopp and will go direct to Bristol Bay then to the Boring sea. calling in at the Kuskowim river stations.
 Upon arriving at St. Lawrence island, MT. Lopp will go ashore and work around the Seward peninsula district, while the Boxer returns to Seattle for her second load of sup plies. MT. Lopp hopes to cover the St. Michael district and the Kotze- bue Sound section before the Boxer returns and he expects to rejoin the vessel in one of these districts.
 On the return trip to Seattle In the late fall. MT. Lopp states the Boxer will take aboard about 500 frozen carcasses of reindeer meat, and a large quantity of furs and ivory. It is believed they will arrive back in Seattle the latter part of October or the first part of Novem- Der.
 MT. Lopp is under the impression that a doctor will make the journey the same as last year and if funds lare available, a dentist as well. 4 dentist would be a splendid acquisi. ltion to the personnel, MT. Lopp says, las many of the natives are in need lof dental work.
 It is stated that the entire person. Incl will consist of about twelve in laddiion to the members of the crew. Last year the motorship travelled Approximately i5,ooS miles.
