Number Who Thought They Did
Not Have TO Pay, Suffer Penalty

County constables are still
rounding up delinquent State In
come Taxables for 1928, and many
are the protests heard in the sew
eral magistrates offices as the de-
linquents report to the offices to
pay the $3.50 fine imposed for not
filing a return. The general i'm
preston among those with salaries
less than $4,000 was, that they did
not have to make a return, but as
the State law makes it plain that
every person over 21 is compelled
to make return, the thousands
that made no return are now being
compelled to pay the fine.

OBITUARY

Mary Emmo Robbins was born
in Bucuhan County, Iowa, Septem-
Der 10, 1891. She came west with
her parents in 1907 and was united
in marriage to James B. Lee on
August 20, 1910. To this union
were born six children. Mrs. Lee
passed away in a hospital in Spo-
kane, March 10, at the age of 38.
She had been converted in early
life and became a member of the
Methodist church, and although she
moved away from the place of her
membership she attended other
churches as conditions permitted.
She is survived by her husband,
James B. Lee and six children, all
of them living at their home in this
city. She is also survived by her
father and mother, five sisters and
three brothers. The funeral was
conducted at the undertaking par
lors by Rev. Herbert Cederberg
and the Rev. E. III. Edwards.

The mothers of the members of
the Senior class are giving BAN
quet on this coming Friday, at the
Methodist church for the Senior

Seniors, and their sponsors are in

Seniors, who know a good thing

The banquet is to be before the
Annual Promenade, also given for
the Seniors, so most of those at
the banquet will attend the dance

The company will be located
next door to the Washington Hard

| Auburn's rise to leadership In
the automobile world has been un-
usual. Five years ago the company
was one of the smaller companies
with apparently little luture, out
in the. ensuing period, under the
| leadership of E. l.. Cord, it has
risen to a commanding position.
Each year since 1924 the company
| greater values and protected its
! has doubled its production, given
buyers by avoidance of any radical
| changes in design at any one time.
! For this year Auburn is offer
ing a 1O0-h.p. straight-eight to sell
at $1,195, another straight-eight
of 125 hip. at 81 ,495 and new six
four-door sedan priced at 1895.
These new cars, while incorpor-
ating many refinements, retain the
characteristics and distinctive fea-
lures that advanced Auburn to new
sales records every month last year
and that have been largely respon-
sible for the growing public accept
ance of Auburn during the last five
years. n, /.
Eleven models make up the three
lines, including regular sedans,
sport sedans, cabriolets and the
custom type sedans or year-around
models.
Three models are offered in the
6-85, six-cylinder line, the four
door sport sedan at 1895; four-door
full sedan at $1,0S5; and cabriolet
at $1,O95.
Four models are available in the
100 hip. straight-eight line, known
as the S-95. With their prices they
are: Four-door sport sedan, $1,195;
full sedan, 1926; pnaeton sedan,
81 1896; cabriolet, $1.295.
In the big straight-eight line,
known as the 125, four models are
offered. They are: Four-door sport
sedan, $1,495; four-door full sedan,
81 sos; cabriolet, S1,595 and phae-
ton sedan, 81, 695.

Lycoming engines, BLUR chassis
lubricating system; hydraulic shock
absorbers; internal expanding four
wheel brakes, cam and lever-type
steering; steel running boards;
Brewster non-glare windshields on
closed models, reinforced bodies,
Corona Proof wires, and otl-- foe-
lures, many of which are exclu-
sive.

Emerson Potter, our eminent
philosopher, affirms that Bubble
Gum represents the biggest re-
turns for the smallest investment.
Marjorie McGahey says its lots
of fun but the sad part Of it all is
that she can't work it.
Miss Leibbrand says her only
recommendation is that Bubble
Gum immensely aids pronunciation
in her French classes. We pre-
sumo that the syllables drip easier
from the Bubble Gum fabricated
mouth.
Buzz Preston says Bubble Gum
surely comes in handy when the
Buick has flat and there isn't
any tire patching.
Miss fash tells us that the big
gest benefit that Bubble Gum
brings to her classes is the fact
that one chunk of it will keep
Edith Stradford from talking for
at least five minutes at time.

We were ip- formed by those who understood tn situation thoroughly that winter is very favorable seaso min Alaska for airplane transportation, and particu- larly is this impressive when you consider that this is the time of the year in Alaska when the U. S. mails are delayed the longest in transmits sion.
 It occurred to the committee that the Territory of Alaska provides an unusual opportunity for the Govern ment through it's activities to com- bine vitally important service with it's declared policy of encouraging and promoting aviation.
 In this communication we are nec- essarlly only able to touch incident aiiy upon the important features of this situation.
 We are informed that the postal contracts under the jurisdiction of  your department for period of three years are to be let on or about December of this year. The mem- bers of this committee will return to Washington sometime between the 18th of November and the 1st of De- cember and we would consider it an especial privilege to discuss with you personally the air mail facilities of the Territory of Alaska and the op- portunities afforded before these con- tracts are consummated.

Hon. Walter r. Brown, Postmaster
 General, Washington, D. C.: Dear General Brown:
 Our committee, appointed under Senate Resolution No. 29S, to investi gate the Alaska Railroad, has just returned from Interior Alaska, where we have made complete and de- tailed study of the economic condi- tions surrounding the Government owned railroad.
 The prosecution of our investiga- ton involved, among other things, the possibility of increasing the business of the railroad in Alaska, as wll as a study of other transporta ton facilities in Alaska, both by highway and by air.
 Our committee was deeply inn pressed with the great distances ex- isting between populated towns and villages and the almost complete iso Iation@ of many of them during cer- sons of the year. We were informed by residents of vaious sections of the Territory that after the freezeup oc CUTS the regular arrival of the United States mail, .carried by dog teams, wa sin many eases (even under the most fayonable lconditions) delayed for periods Cot even two and three. We are sure that you will readily ap preciate this state of affairs is al most intolerable, and the condition becomes even more intensified when it exists in country where there is not even telegraph or radio com munication.
 We are, therefore, at the request of the citizens of Alaska Chose liv- ing at points enjoying reasonably prompt communication, insofar as the mails are concerned, as well as those living in very remote regions hundreds of miles either from rail- road 7or water facilities), writing to urge7syonr consideration of plan under which at least one or two main lines may be subsidized Tn thls vast Territory to carry the U. 5. mail. Those making this appeal were not asking for the entire suspension of the. existing dog-team mode of carrying the mail, but they were ap- pealing most earnestly for the estab- ishnent of air mail routes between important rail points and far-away sections like Nome, Wisemtn and number of other isolated sections. 1t was suggested that the dog-team method of transmission of the mail could be and should be used on the shorter. mail routes as at present. You must appreciate, as our commit tee does, that the Territory of Alas ka is almost totally without means of transportation we know them in continental United States. Their fa- cilities respecting both railway and highway are extremely limited and are entirely inadequate to meet the needs3 in. connection with the settle ment of the Territory.
 During our tour of investigation and study the committee came in contact with a we'll organized, first class, privately owned air force now engaged in carrying passengers with apparent security from Fairbanks and Anchorage to remote interior points.
 Such information as we were able to gather indicated rather definitely that air mail service may be con- ducted under unusually favorable conditions is Alaska. It might be mentioned here that these planes are so equippe -das to afford opportunity to land in bhe numerous lakes and rivers during the summer season and in the winter their equipment, con-
