 We can only add in closing that John Fred fought the good fight, he has kept the faith, and by all those who had chance to know him, his passing is mourned. We pause now to pay our respects to a good man, one who tried with all his power to uplift his people.
 Let the name of John Fred be mentioned in all the local Camps of the Alaska Native Brotherhood at the meeting to be held Monday night, the first day of March next, as a mark of respect.

THE GRADUATED TAX CASE

The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States is of the greatest importance to all Alaskans for it defines the taxing powers of the Legislature In this decision it upheld it's former opinion in the case of Alaska Fish Salt ing & By-Products Company vs. Smith, namely, that Alaska has the unrestricted power to tax.
 MT. Justice Holmes delivered the opinion of the Court.
 This is a suit by the Territory of Alaska to recover from the petitioner, Pacific American Fish cries, license taxes alleged to be due upon cases of salmon packed by the defendant at four canneries named. The defendant in it's answer set up tha- the territorial act was contrary to the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912, c. 387,(* 3,) 37 Stat. 512, creating a legislative assembly in the Territory of Alaska, and to the Constitution of the United States. The Territory de- murred; there was judgment for the plaintiff and this was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. 2 Fed. Rep. (2d) 9. A writ of certiorari was granted by this Court. 267 U. S. 589.
 The taxes in question were i'm posed by c. 1o1, 2, subdivision 9th, Laws of Alaska, 1923, amend ing c. 31 of the laws of 1921. By (c) of that subdivision salmon canneries, after tax by (b) of ten cents per case, are charged an additional tax on a pack of kings, reds and sockeyes, counted together, at one cannery, as follows;
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-02-15

On all cases in excess of ten thousand and not more than twenty five thousand, five cents per case; in excess of twenty-five thousand and not more than forty thousand, ten cents per case; in excess of forty thousand and not more than fifty thousand, fifteen cents per case; and on all in excess of fifty thousand, twenty cents per case. Similarly in (d) chums are taxed three cents per case. The petitioner says that the graduated tax is inconsistent with the Act of Con- gress mentioned, which provides that the authority therein granted to alter, amend, modify and re- peal laws in force in Alaska should not extend to the game, fish and fur seal laws, and presses this con tention notwithstanding the further proviso that this provision shall not operate to prevent the legisla- ture from imposing / additional taxes or licenses. The petitioner also says that the classification upon which the surtax is based is unreasonable and a denial of due process of law, contrary to the Fifth Amendment of the Constitu- tion of the United States. No ques- tion is raised about the uniform tax of ten cents per case imposed by (b). That has been paid.
 The petitioner offers various reasons to show that thi: tax is not what it purports to be but is an attempt to regulate fisheries, which, the petitioner believes, Congress has not given the Terri tory power to regulate. The answer alleges that it was known that the revenue from these taxes would exceed the appropriations and needs

Hardest KnouOn Wood

Lignum7vitae, the vital wood, or,
wood of life, which Is found in the
West Indies and some other parts OF
the tropical Americas, Is said to be the
hardest wood nature produces. The
reason why this wood Is so tough Is IN
the arrangement Of it's fibers. Instead
Of being straight. they weave back and
forth, crossing and recrossing, like the
weave Of an automobile tire. Another
peculiar feature in this wood Is that
when the tree Ia cut, the sap cells fill
up with a very heavy rosin, which
causes it to weigh about eighty pounds
to the cubic foot. 1t Is one-third heav-
Ter than water, and 80, while excellent
for many uses, 1t would not make q
good raft. 1t is used for carpenters
malfets, as it is 80 tough that 1t will
not split from hard usage, and 1t Is
also employed for tool handles.

Uncle Eph Jackson, an old-time col

hot day. He was barefooted. as he

At that instant Uncle Eph jumped
and howled with pain-for it was his
own big toe that he had whacked, in
stead of mole. The toe bled consid-

for some time to come. But he was

The science department Of ELS
worth high school has been expanded
this year to include biology. This
makes a complete four-year's work
in science, giving the pupils who
elect these branches very good
knowledge of the sciences. The
courses offered are: General science
for freshmen, which is an introduce
ton to a study of the sciences; BIZ
ology for sophomores, which covers
both plant and animal life in gen.
eral way; chemistry and physics for
juniors and seniors. These two are
given on alternate years, chemistry
being offered this year. The num-
Der of students registering for sci
ence courses this year shows that
these courses are desired by the stu
dents. General science has forty
eight students; biology, twenty-five.
and chemistry, fifty-one. This fills
our laboratory to its capacity.

HEALTH LAWS IN THE BIBLE.

(By Alice T. Bassett. r. N, Hancock
County public health nurse.)
Sanitation is as old as civilization.
With the exception of ventilation,
our present laws on public health
are only engagements of these old
laws. Turn to the Mosaic law in
Deut. 23:12-13, and it will be seen
that soil pollution was forbidden
even then. In Levitious, chapter H.,
one will find the pure food law.
Relief from fatigue is provided for
in Ex2312. Human cleanliness
laws may be found in Elk. 1910
Gen. 1925, Numbers 10, II, Elk.
29:4, II Chron. AS. Quarantining
was provided for in Lev. 10. Dis
infection by fire and washing is or
dered in Lev. 13:51-52 and in Lev.
1859.
Reading all of the above quota
tions, one will see that health laws
are not fads but necessities provided
for in the beginning of historical
time as a means of saving life, and
thus peopleing the earth.
If these laws were necessary When
people lived in the open and far
from each other, in many instances
nomadic, how much more are they
necessary when people are in close
contact and massed together In
cities?
It would seem wise plan to
know more of the present-day health
laws, that we might intelligently
protect ourselves and our neighbors
from unnecessary ill health and
early deaths.

SUMMING to Work

Pacific islanders are probably the
cleanest people on earth, for they
spend a good part of every day in the
water, and may be said to be almost
as amphibious as seals. The children
learn to swim almost as soon as they
learn to walk. If the village happens
to be at some distance from the shore,
a swimming pool is formed in a near
by stream, and there mixed bathing is
INDUCED in several times every day.

with coconut oil, the pulp Of the bit

orously. Their towel Is provided by

Europe's Oldest Bell

What is the oldest bell In Europe3
This distinction Is claimed for the
largest of the bells in the town steeple

inally hung in the old church Of st.

Although its bearings are worn and
require attention, the ancient bell Is
still in good condition.
Wallace. the Scottish patriot, wor-
SHIPPED In St. Kentigern's and met and
married his bride there. Doubtless

Of his wedding day.

stuff, forgetting there Is nothing new

Addison the other day, l found that

rules that have familiar ring and
some unfamiliar. For example:
None shall be admitted into the club
that is Of. the same trade with any
member Of it. .,,--.., g. ,A.--.-.
If any member swears or curses. his
neighbor may give him a kick upon
the shins
If any member tells stories in the
club that are not true, he shall forfeit
for every third lie half-penny.
If member brings his wife into the
club, he shall pay for whatever she
drinks or smokes
If any members wife comes to fetch
him home from the club, she shall
speak to him without the door.-Merle

When Windows "Sweat"

The sweating of windows is due to
imperfect ventilation, and If perfect
ventilation could be obtained 1t would
probably give the most effective re-
suits. In many cases openings are
made in the sash, top and bottom, so
that a current of cold air may cover
the interior side Of the glass. In some
instances, where the sweating Of WIN
dows is not 80 bad, IS grams Of giyc-
erin is dissolved in l liter Of alcohol
(e3 per cent?. to which little amber
oil Is added. AS soon as 1t Is thor
oughly mixed, 1t may be rubbed on the
inside surface Of the window with a
channels or linen rag. A thin coat Of
pure glycerin applied to both sides Of
the glass will prevent moisture.
