SPORTSMEN ARE TO FEED BIRDS IN LOCAL AREA
Ducks and Geese Hit by Food Shortage
 to Be Distributed

Local sportsmen this morning launched a movement to turnlsh grain to feed hundreds Of ducks and geese wintering in the Chan nel between Salmon Creek and Mendenhall. The birds are report ed to be severely hit by the short age of feed due to heavy SHOWS and ice from the current sharp drop in temperature.
 Voluntary subscriptions are being made for this purpose. Subscrip- tion lists have been left at four stores-M H. Truesdell's Gun Store, Juneau Young Hardware Company, Thomas Hardware Company and Harris Hardware Company.
 It is planned to purchase grain from local dealers and feed the birds for the next two or three weeks by which time the need will have passed. Residents on Glacier Highway and the Alaska Game Commission will cooperate in the distribution of the food.
 Ducks and geese are reported t be more numerous on the Channe flats than for many years. Weather conditions over an extended perioc have shut off much of the fooc supplies. Feeding, it is said, vii not only relieve present sufferins but probably will hold the bird' in local breeding areas and increase the flocks materially for next sea son.

WASHINGTON Feb. 28 The phalanx of the nations most we'll to-do-the income tax payers are marching by the government s coffers these days dumping in their dollars.
 In the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, they paid $1,057,- 0O0,000 compared with more than twice that amount in 1929 For the present fiscal year ending June 30, 1893. government esti- mates put receipts at $860, 600, ,000,
 Exemptions have been lowered this year to bolster the falling re- ceipts. In 1882 single per- sons had an exemption of $500, and married persons an exemption of $S,5OO. These have been re- duced to $1.O00 and $2,500 re- spectively.
 Returns To Be Increased
 These rates probably will add two to three million persons to the total number filing returns, but may not materially raise the num- Der paying taxes or the amount of the taxes since incomes, both cor poration and individual, have de- clined considerably.
 If you fall in any of the three following classes you must file a return, although exemptions and deductions may save you from pay ling a tax.
