Canneries Planning Exten- sive Improvements to AL

J. E. Pegues, Federal Housing Administration Director for Alaska, returned on the Yukon after an absence of approximately three weeks during which he interviewed members of the salmon canning industry in Seattle regarding im- provement of their various Alaska plants under the provisions of FILA. He also attended several confer ences of FILA officials regarding Title Two, of FILA.
 A number of the cannerymen plan extensive improvements and one or two are tentatively planning to rebuild their canneries, MT. Peques said. All Alaska banks have been furnished with blanks and forms so that they can qualify as proved mortgages under the provisions of Title Two of FILA, and it is expected that they will all comply" he said.
 MT. Pegues was one of the pas- sengers who was aboard the steam CT Victoria when it hit reef on its last trip northbound. Everyone was composed and quiet when the ship hit at 7:57 o'clock Sunday evening in Johnson Straits. There was a terrific, bowling gale and snow storm which continued some time after the ship got off the reef at midnight" he said. The Red Wing, Coast Guard cutter bas- ed at Port Townsend answered the call for convoy and accompanied the Victoria southbound for near ly twenty -four hours, he said.

ing tangible personal property at retail Under the first the tax would be paid by the wholesaler with the retailer entitled to a deduction when turning i.. his gross sales report,
 Fish Trap Bill
 Another measure for tax on fish traps was placed in the Sen ate hopper by M. E. s. Brunelle. It provides for a tax of three dol lars per 1000 fish on red, cohos, pink and chum salmon caught in amounts from 50,O00 to 100000; seven dollars on quantities of l00,- 900 to 100000; $l2.50, on 100000 to 250,000; $50, 250,00o to 300,000, and $50 thousand on quantities. over 300,000. On red, king and sockeye salmon caught in trap, seine or net the tax would be $40 per thousand on 50,000 to 75,0O0 and a graduated scale up to S3OOO0O. Over that amount the tax would be $110 per 1000
 Catching fish under the present trap system is detrimental to the enormous but fast depicting wealth of our resources" Brunelle said in explaining his bill, "and it is only fair that until the present system is outlawed that the Territory should receive some financial re- ward for this loss. Latest available figures from the United States De- partment of Commerce, Bureau of Fisheries, show a decrease in seine caught fish in the last ten years, ending 1882, of 8.3 per cent and an increase of trap caught fish in the same period of l4.3 per cent"
 Drunken Driving Measure
 Two measures were introduced in the Senate by Henry Roden. One is aimed at reckless and drunken driving. Penalty for reckless driv- ing is fixed at from $25 to $500 fine and from five days to six mcnths in the Federal jail. Penalty for drunken driving has the same fine range with jail sentence run ming to nine months, depending on the number of offenses. The pro posal carries an emergency clause to take effect immediately after passage.
 A law revision bill also was brought in by MT. Roden which would define the amount of widows dover and amend the present statute.

MANY HUNTING TRIPS PLANNED TO ALASKA
 DURING NEXT YEAR

Interest, far greater than is usual, is being shown in big game hunting trips in Alaska this win ter, judging from correspondence which has been received by the Alaska Game Commission discuss ing proposed trips, according to Frank Dufresne, Assistant Execu- five Officer of the commission.
 Among those who are definitely planning hunting trips next spring is Coleman Jonas, of Jonas Broth CTS, Denver, Colorado, one of the best known taxidermist firms in the country, MT. Dufresne said MT. Jonas wrote that his party would include eight or nine alto gether. Another party, which is planning on a hunt on Kodiak Island and the Alaska Peninsula. is to be headed by James s. Simp- son, former Chairman of the Wyoming Game Commission. If the party is successful, MT. Simpson, who is now operating a dude ranch in Wyoming, expects to transfer his activities to Alaska, according to his letter to MT. Dufresne. Many other letters of inquiry and others telling of proposed hunts, either this spring or next fall, have been received by the Game Commission in recent weeks, MT, Dufresne said.
