PRINCE RUPERT DEPARTS SOUTH
 ON FINAL TRIP
Canadian National Line Ends Tourist Service
 Here for Year

The Prince Rupert, Capt. Neil MacLean, and Norman Mclean, Purser, docked at Ills o'clock Sun day morning and left at 2:30 o'clock, southbound on the last voyage of the season for the Can adian National Line.
 This concludes a highly success ful season, according to H. R.. Shepard, local agent for the com pany. Traffic has far exceeded expectations, he said, and if the company had anticipated the large number of tourists who were to make the Alaska round trip, it would doubtless have scheduled at least one more sailing Vessels have been so crowded at times that the local office has had difficulty in obtaining reservations for ap- plicants.
 Passengers southbound from Ju- neau on the Prince Rupert were Mrs. J. F. Mullen, Ben Mullen, Beatrice Mullen, Virginia Mullen, Winnie Goss, w. T. Roberts, 0. l. Paulsen, o. A. Abrams, Rae Writ anen, Dr. Nils P Larsen, c. A. Devlin, and William Nelson.

SHOALS POWER
BILL IN HOUSE

A new Tennessee Valley meas
ure, redrawn to include all of the
amendments adopted by the
House Military Affairs Commit
tee, will be introduced in the
House today by Representative
McSwain CD of South Carolina.
chairman of the committee.
AS the committee has whipped
the measure into shape the main
changes are in the matter of
power tranSmisSions items, ferti.
lizer, dam construction, terms of
service of the three members of
the Tennessee Valley Authority
and long-term power distribution
contracts with private concerns.
The Tennessee Valley Authority
will retain, under the bill, ulti-
mate authority to construct trans
mission lines. However. the
measure provides that every eff.
fort must be made to lease exist
ing lines on just and reasonable
bases. Failing this, the right of
eminent domain may be ignored
to condemn transmission lines
and rights of way. Construction
OF Government lines is the last
resort.

HOUSE TACKLES
POSTAGE GUT

Passage of the Administration
bill restoring the tWo-cent post
age rate on local mail and con-
tinuance of the one-cent Federal
gasoline tax for another year
was expected in the House today.
The measure was to be called
up for action by Representative
Doughton (DD of North Caro-
lima, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee.
With many members clamoring
for wholesale abolition of the
many excise and miscellaneous
taxes embodied in the billion-dol-
lar tax bill last year, the meas
ure may furnish a test of the
ability of Administration leaders
to hold the House in line.
Repeal Of the two-cent bank
check tax and transfer of the
electricity tax from consumers to
the power companies has been
proposed IN many bills introduced
in the House.
The Treasury has turned
thumbs down on repeal of the
bank check tax, but has not
stated it's position on the power
levy.

Adopted Young Nephew
Pearsall legally adopted the son
