Carl long ago ruled that when q
Government employee. travelling
for the Government in his own
automobile In accompanied by an
other person not in the employ
ment of the Government the EN-.
ploye is entitled to reimburse.
ment for only half of his ex.

Today he ruled that when q

dition to the cost of the gasoline
itself, the employe must pay the
tax for both occupants of the car
out of his own pocket.
If the employe was travelling
alone the Federal Government
would seek a refund from the

FUR SHIPMENTS
 FUR LAST YEAR CAIN IN VALUE
GAME COMMISSION ANNOUNCES TOTAL FUR VALUE OF $a,e9e,-
 7o7.5o, FOR 1927

1927, exclusive of seal skins and fox on the Pribilof Islands, were valued at $3, ,657, ,94O68, according to figures made public at Juneau by the Alaska Game Commission which is conduct ing it's fourth annual meeting in this city. In addition fox pelts were shipp- ed from the Pribilof Islands valued at $41, ,766.S2, making the total for the year $3,699, ,7O75O.
 The total value of the commercial shipments was 3OS,30O.4S larger than in 1926 while the number of pelts fell from 296,136 to 290,960. Higher prices prevailed on most of the belts which accounted for the larger returns from the catch, it was stated.
 CHECKING UP CATCH
 Since it met the Commission has been studying the records of catches since 1925, when it was organized and issued it's first regulations. Particu- lar attention is given to varieties of fur-bearers that have been taken in steadily decreasing numbers, note being made of the localities where the greatest declines have taken place. Attention was drawn to the muskrat situation which is considered unheal- thy. In 1925 the gross take of that animal was 359,142 with an average price of S5 cents per skin having a total value of S335, ,,S7O70. In 1926 the take fell to v 13S,32O veraging S1.40 per skin for total value of S24S,648. Last year the, catch fell to 155,041 animals, while the price jump ed to an average of s195 and the total vlue to s3O2,22ss5
 Mink also showed a sharp decrease in the number taken during the same three year period. In 1925 there were 49,504 of these animals taken, averag- ingf ST per skin. In 1927 there were only 45,466 caught. The average price, however, had increased to S14.52 bringing the total value to $660,166.32.
 LEADS IN VALUE ! Mink furs shipped outside led all varieties in value. Blue foxes, com- posed mainly of shipments from ranches rank second. The number shipped was 10,293 with an average value per pelt of $6191, totaling $637,- 239.63.
 Beaver shipments were in third place. There were 24,oUl peltS Snlpp- ed from the Territory averaging $25.- 79 each for s634,4S55S. This does not represent the entire take as the Commission and it's agents have seal ! ed 30,252 pelts legally taken during the 1927 season.
 Red fox also showed an increase in value, slight decrease in the num- Der taken as compared to 1926 and slightly more than in 1925. The skins averaged $2S1S each and the total value was $61S,410.1O. 4 CONSIDERS RECOMMENDATIONS

The surprise was further

Experienced oarsmen are of the
opinion that Nays junior varsity
