The yield has been SC heavy and the fruit so superior to the red raspberries that Cooper next year will dig up the reds and plant the hybrids exclusively from the young stock which he has developed from the original 50 parent plants. Not contented with a diversified vege- table garden, he has also planted plentifully in flowers and shrub bery about his house. His interest in flowers centers in gladioli and he grows the largest ''glads" in Wrangell.
 Ernest Sawyer Walker of the United States Department of the Interior, never fails to visit the Cooper home each time he passes through Wrangell He has said on different occasions that Cooper had the finest vegetable display in all Southeast Alaska.
 Tries Bees
 In 1928 Cooper sent for a stand of bees from the head of the Sacramento valley. During their first season they threw 0ff swarm and produced 200 pounds of honey. The early honey from the willow and alder blossoms mainly, was amber in color and of a very deli cate flavor. The later honey from fruit blossoms was pure white in color and not quite so pleasing in flavor
 Cooper says he could not let well enough alone, SC in 1929 he sent out for five extra stands. The next summer was so wet that the bees did not gather enough to live on through the winter and he lost all but two stands. He says that after this he will not keep more than two stands, as this field in a wet season will not support more bees than that.
 Penned Mink
 In the fall of 1929 Cooper added penned mink to his diversified farming efforts. Starting with ten pairs he now has ITO Of the fur bearers. Last spring he lost 159 young ones, their unnatural moth CTS turning cannibal and devouring them in the pens. He believes this was caused by a diet deficiency for as soon as he added ground green bone to the diet. the depredations ceased.
 The increase this spring was most satisfactory, filters running as high as eleven. That he has solved the diet problem, he thinks is evidenced by the fact that this years young are now larger in size than the parents are.
 Besides having an attractive, comfortable home and a profitable garden for himself, Cooper's ex- periments, his successes and fail ures, have been of great value to the community in general in show ing what can be done with apiece of ground in the Wrangell district.

GASOLINE TAX
ROBBERY
By FRANKLIN WOLFE

The odious and burdensome gaso-
line tax is widening in scope and
growing more irksome as the years
pass. Legislators intent on raising
vast amounts of money, much of
which will be wasted and much de-
voted to sheer graft, are passing more
and more laws and advancing the i'm
post.
The average retail price of gaso-
line has decreased more than 48 per
cent in ten years, while the gasoline
tax rate has increased $3.50 per cent,
adding 13 to SO per cent to the price
of fuel. These two facts are the
highlights of survey recently made
in SO representative cities of the
nation. On March 1, 1881, the aver
age retail price of gas, exclusive OF
tax, was 14.46 cents per gallon as
compared with 1925 cents in 1921
The average tax was 1856 cents pei
gallon as compared with .0014 in 1921
when only 16 states taxes gasoline.
Some states are now collecting the
excessive rate of 6 cents for gasoline
when that amount exceeds the actual
cost of the product. If the house
holder should go to his grocer and be
told that sugar was 10 cents pound
and this was divided as cents for
the sugar and 6 cents for taxes there
would soon be revolt.
Last year the states collected $522,-
110,961 from the tax, a new high rec
ord, despite the fact that less gaso-
line was used in 1880 than in 1929
This represents an income of about
81 100000 a day, and takes no ac-
count of taxes collected by counties
and municipalities.
Gasoline producers, through in
creasing efficiency, have been saving
motorists money that the states have
been busy taking away. High prices
Oh SdSOlllt toudy are idI SCiy h6h
gas taxes"
One way to arouse the apathetit
and long suffering public would be fol-
the consumers to organize protec
tive league. They could agree to buy
only from stations in sympathy with
the move to fight high gasoline taxes
Each station would then be required
to display sign, which the league
might provide, setting forth in plair
words the amount of the tax on each
gallon and such comment on it a:
might be made in well-chosen ane
emphatic language. We would like
the job of writing texts for filling
station bulletin boards. 1t would b.
a lot of fun-and it might make
somebody think.

The loyalty of member of the
union should be so intense that it
cannot be shaken even by problems
that may arise unexpectedly and
threaten to shake the very life of the
union. At such times enemies of the
union work the hardest and members
of the union should be more loyal
than ever to safeguard their interests.
