 Miss Celia Larsen, of Juneau, who has charge of the public school at Curry, is getting along nicely and is patiently awaiting her school supplies which are to be sent in from Hope, via Moose Pass. This is Miss Larsen'S first trip north and she is enjoying the work at the Curry school very much.

 The hotel at Curry has much to be proud of in addition to being the best hoStelry in Alaska. From their gardens they have procured cauLflower that weighs over seven pounds per head and potatoes that weigh up to eight pounds piece. Although these are extremely large in size, the pulp is just as solid and delicate in taste as the smaller heads. The head lettuce raised in the hotel garden cannot be equaled. Which only goes to prove that AL askanS can raise garden vegetables that have no superior in taste, size and quality. The flower garden this summer was a veritable Eden and the tourists could hardly believe it possible that such flora could be bloomed in Alaska.

 MT. Charles Madsen, AlaSka'S famous guide and hunter, returned with his party from Cantwell on last Thursdays train where they stalked a couple of caribou. All in all, their hunt has been very suc- cessful. Shortly after the train started from Cantwell on Thursday morning, group of more than 200 caribou passed across the track ahead of the train. The hunters report much new snow in the hills which makes the hiking rather diff ficult.
 The Curry Hotel had more than 80 guests on Thursday, September 24. Many of these people are head ed for the States where they will spend the winter.

 The first touch of winter came down on Curry like a wild beast charging his prey. It was the first hale-storm of the season and al- though it did no damage, it reduced the column of mercury in the ther- mometer from 50 to 40 in less than an hours time and that night the first frost covered the ground.

OFFICE BUILDING HALT
is HELD NECESSITY
End Of Program for Next Three
Years Regarded No Decrease
in Jobs.

A recess in the construction Of large
office buildings and apartments for at
least three years Is one or the factors
necessary to bring relief to the present
real estate bond situation, according to
the views expressed today by H. r. DAN
lei Of New York City.
"A let-up in the construction of apart
ment houses and Office buildings in all
our leading cities for at least three
years would not mean necessarily more
unemployment" said Mr.. Daniel. There
Is at least 100000 worth of public
construction In this country that has
been designated as necessary by more
than $50 chambers of commerce To-
Gated in the cities where such require
ments exist. There is also a constant
need for alterations in buildings, and
there Is no fundamental reason why
vigorous program OF private home con-
struction should not be prosecuted while
building costs are at their present low
levels.
But in the matter Of apartment
houses and Office buildings the law of
supply and demand has been violated
largely due to speculative building and
through the desire of underwriting
houses to make and market new loans
Every month that now goes by with
little or no new construction in these
types, therefore, means that a more
properly balanced supply and demand is
being brought about"

NEW TAXES REDUCE
REAL ESTATE LOAD
States Find Other Sources
for Funds in Effort to
Shift Burden.

New taxes on utilities, tobacco, vend-
ing machines, advertising signs, in
comes and intangibles and increased
taxes on some of these items in States
that already tax them mark the move
ment to find new sources for funds, the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards reports.
The association has been actively
urging that ways and means be found
to relieve real property of the tax bur-
den 1t now carries.
North Carolina TO Act.
Probably the most significant action
from the standpoint of the taxpayer is
the assurance of the State of North
Carolina that the real property assess
ment will be reduced by $l2,250 900
The State has abolished all county and
local highway commissions and has
taken over the maintenance and control
of all roads in the State. This will save
a part of the 10000, 900. Schools here
after are to be supported by the State
mainly from sources other than real es-
tate taxation. Counties alone may levy
a 15-cent tax on realty for this pur-
pose.
Last year in Oregon the tax on in
tangibleS was held unconstitutional.
This year the proposed tax was raised
and passed. Kansas passed a flve-mill
tax on intangib'es. Florida has new
tax for corporations.
Idaho, South Carolina and Vermont
tax electric public utilities New Hamp-
shire taxes gas and electrical utilities.
North Carolina has increased the tax
rate on all utilities. Ohio has reduced
it's rate on railroads.
Taxes Express Companies.
North Dakota is taxing express COM
panies. Wisconsin has increased the tax
on telephone toll lines and exchanges
and IS States have increased the tax on
gas
Ohio and Texas have a new tobacco
tax the money from which to go pri-
marily to education, thus relieving
realty of some of this burden. Tobacco
tax rates have been increased in Geor-
gia and Arkansas.
Arkansas and Nevada will now tax
vending machines, Vermont and Mary
land advertising signs, Delaware, New
levies on boxing and wrestling.
North Carolina has adopted a sales
"tax-a-gross" tax on wholesale and
retail merchants
Taxes on common carriers have been
raised in several States and motor We
hicle registration fees have gone up in
Florida. Illinois, Nebraska. New Mexico,
Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, with
Idaho, Maine and Tennessee giving a
slight reduction in such fees.
