Williamson county commissioners court pointed the
way to lowering local taxes when it, sitting as an equaliza-
ton board, sliced down the assessments on land and
buildings in line with the actual decline in value. '.
Hays county tried to do the same, after it was too late.
The Williamson county action also is a reminder that the
owner himself, and not the tax assessor, is the one who
has the right to fix the valuations for assessment and rem
dition in the first place.

ALASKA AVIATION ITEMS

A trip to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes was recently made by Pilot Frank Dorhandt, flying the Bellanca plane for the Pacific International Airways He was accompanied on the trip by MT. and Mrs. Edward Lowe, Jr., and Lyman De Steifney says the Anchorage Times.
 The party flew close to the crater of Katmai, which was very active, and landed inside the Val ley of Ten Thousand Smokes. In- cidentally, this was the first time a plane has ever landed in the valley. They taXied up to the edge of a smoking fumerole and took several pictures.
 To see a plane on five feet of snow at the very edge of steam ing and hissing fumerole, in a valley where there are thousands of steaming Assures, is surely an unusual picture.
 The flying combination, Dor bandt and Cope, flew over the valley last year but made no at tempt to land.
 The party saw several live VOL canoes and were in sight of three at one time. Pilot Dorbandt stat ed that there is a volcano To- cated at the head of the valley which has a tremendous volume of steam and gas issuing from 1t at the present time. This vol- cano was dead, or at least inac- tive, at the time he and Cope were there last year.
 Dorbandt of the PA claims another record in Alaskan air transportation. Leaving Anchor age, stopped at McGrath, where a part of the pay load was con- signed. From there he flew to Tacotna, and from Tacotna to Ophir After discharging cargo at Ophir he made another stop at McGrath on the return trip
