RUSTCARD GOES TO SEATTLE TO
 GET TESTIMONY
Trial of Nonresident Trol- lers Tax Suit to Decide
 Earnings Issue

Trial of the issues involving the Territorial nonresident tr o lers' tax is indicated by the departure Sunday of Attorney General John Rustgard for Seattle to take evil dence in htat case which has twice been before the local Federal court and one before the Appellate Court for the Ninth District at San Fran cisco.
 Both of the former hearings were on demurrer. Both times the valid ity of the act was upheld by Fed eral Judge Harding here The issue now to be determined, apparently is the average annual earnings of salmon trollers in Alaska.
 In the first hearing, the allega- tion of Wood Freeman, who bought the suit, that the average earnings did not exceed $500 was not contro- verted by the Territory. On that basis the Appellate Court held that the tax was confiscatory and the demurrer filed by H. L. Faulkner, representing Freeman, was upheld
 At the second hearing. the Ter ritory, through MT. Rustgard, al- legged that the average troller's earnings, was some $3,0o0, and the local Court ruled, in the absence of any showing to the contrary, that the law was valid. Since then an answer was filed contesting the accuracy of the Territory's claim as to the earnings. Testimony is now being taken to decide the point.

 The apartments will be rented by the university, which will be nov ed to new plant south of Baton Rouge and will no longer need the property for housing students.
 Garages and janitors will be pro- vided as well as other modernities that may disturb the historic ghosts of French, Spanish, English, confederate and United States fed eral government tenures of occupa- ton.

REORGANIZATION. HUNTER BAY IS SHOT IN FOOT
Fred Patrick, Fox Ranch CT, Charged with Shoot
 ing with Intent to Kill

Suffering from wound in the left foot, Harold Tipton, watch man at the Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporations cannery at Funter Bay, was brought here Sunday for medical treatment. He is alleged to have been shot by Fred Patrick, 8 fox rancher, as the aftermath of a homebrew celebration
 Tipton was not seriously injured. -Four bones were broken in his foot, but he was able to be n.. today on crutches.
 A warrant was issuea Sunday by Judge Charles Sey, charging Pat rick with shooting with intent to kill United States Deputy Mar ;shals w. E. Feero and Frank Price left yesterday for Funter Bay to arrest Patrick and were expected tc return sometime today
 Tipton and Patrick, acording to reports received here, were two of a small gathering in Funter Bay Saturday night at which the bowl flowed freely. The latter is said to have threatened Tipton for some unstated cause. He had a gun which he flourished early in the evening but members of the party took it away from him. Later he obtained possession of it again and proceeded to try to put his threats into execution. His first shot was wild.
 Tipton, having in mind that dis cretion is the better part of valor, concluded it was time for him to leave, headed for the door. As he went through it, Patrick is alleged 70 have fired a second shot which found it's mark in the ball of Tip tons left foot. The latter kept going. In his version as given to local officers, he said he was told that Patrick fired three more shots before subsiding, but he didn't even hear them.
 Tipton was brought here on the power troller, Cub, and taken to St. Anns Hospital for treatment. An X-ray examination showed four bones to be broken.

Legion's scouting activities in a
letter issued this week to the AGO
posts of the state, cities the good
work of more than $50 which now
sponsor Boy Scouttroops and tells
the other posts how they can get
back Of this fine program.
"It seems to me that a more ideal
field cannot be found by the Ameri-
can Legion wherein to plant Sc
curely the principles Of justice,
freedom and democracy for which
our organization stands than in the
Boy Scouts of America" Chairman
Hurley declares.
eff each Of our 400 Minnesota Le-
gion post were to sponsor one or
more troops for the next few years,
the coming generation will consti-
tute a bulwark of real Americanism
against which any and all things
un-American would dash only to be
hurled back discomfitted and inn
potent. Mr.. Hurley says.

American Legion

Community Wood Yards Suggested
The AGO American Legion posts of
Minnesota have just received from
their state conservation chairman,
Parker o. Anderson of st. Paul, de-
tails of a plan whereby each will
sponsor establishment of a COM
munity wood yard to which farm
ers are to supply otherwise useless
timber and whereby otherwise idle
citizens may find work cutting the
timber into firewood for disposal to
citizens.
MANY American Legion posts"
declares Chairman Anderson, will
find this an excellent way to pro-
vide cheaper fuel, at th/ same time
furnishing work for needy families
and offering farmers chance to
realize on waste timber or to do
nate it If they so desire.
Cities and villages which have
to care for destitute families will
find in the fuel wood yard an eco
nomical way of keeping thousands
Of citizens warm this winter"
Chairman Anderson believes. by
obtaining fuel wood readily, the
man with little cash may, with the
money ordinarily used for coal, pur-
chase other supplies. The market
for fuel wood will in turn give wood
land owners an opportunity to thin
out and improve their groves. The
money received may enable farm
ers to employ men who now are
