Contrary to general belief Il is
apparent that the new liquor law,
signed yesterday by Governor Will
bur l.. Cross Of Hartford, while y
increases the fees for permits does
not wipe out the four per cent
gross sales tax. The new law,
which is a revision Of the act
passed in 1888, does not In any
way repeal section 755B Of the
1888 supplement to the general
statutes which provides for a gross
sales tax. Governor Cross action
In signing the bill yesterday

WORLD TRAVELLER EXCLAIMS
 ON BEAUTY ALASKA SCENERY

Alaska is the most beautiful country in the world scenically Your mountains, rivers and valleys exceed in grandeur anything to be seen in Europe, Asia or South America. The Alps. Himalayas and other famous ranges fade into in- significance when compared to this magnificent country If I were a young man I would never leave it, :" Otto F. Mathi, general representa- tive of Anheuser-Busch, Incorporat- ed of St. Louis, said in Juneau when he arrived there on the PAA plane from Fairbanks, according to the Empire.
 For years I have been planning to make a trip to Alaska but each time the trip was arranged. some thing happened to make it impos- sible. This year I decided that nothing would intervene and I am all eady planning to return next fall for a big game hunt" Mir. Mat hi said enthusiastically.
 Much amused about the igno- rance concerning h e Territory which prevails in many parts of the country. MT. Mathi said that when he informed his company of his intention to come north, he was told that he could not make a trip to Alaska until June when naviga- ton opened q didn't tell them was leaving Seattle until after was aboard the ship. Then I sent them a wire so they would know they were wrong" he chuckled.
 Mir. Mathi made the trip to the Westward and Interior by steamer and train and came to Juneau by plane in order to see as much of Alaska as possible in his short stay.

PACK TAXES EXEMPT

At a recent meeting of the Pet ersburg town council Mayor Lock en reported that the Pacific Amerl- can Fisheries were exempt from payment of any pack taxes this year because they operate a fish hatchery at Quadra and under the federal law are entitled to a credit of ten cases of salmon for each thousand salmon fry released. He also stated that the city treasury, lacking this money, would be de- pleted next month, making it nee essary for the council to authorize the sale of hydro-electric bonds owned to the amount of $2500.O0.
 The Petersburg Press comment ing editorially upon the situation said:
 News that the eannery pack tax would not be paid to Petersburg came as a definite blow to the city treasury. The loss in dollars and cents is irretrieyable. A question that might be raised is whether or not the benefits of additional sal A4Ol AAgB ASACdoSu AAOAA A"'S'NA Ao9' balance this loss.
 On the basis of the credit to the cannery of ten cases of salmon for each thousand salmon fry, the total number of the latter evident iy approximated nine million. This seems like a lot of fish to add to the potential catch of a specific area; one h at would insure against the depletion of the fish.
 Unfortunately such benefits cannot accrue exclusively to Peters burg and it does not seem that the town treasury will have an equal source of revenue from the millions of additional hatchery salmon.
 In point of logic the cannery $ position seems well established. The e d eral government presumably feels that way about it for it has made the law under which the can nery claims exemption from the tax. If the proposition resolves it. self into a certain revenue Tor the Petersburg treasury as against d definite contribution to the supply of salmon in general, then reason indicates that the former shall suffer.
 ''In point of relative expendi- lures the cannerys position is un known. It is a matter of the cost of growing nine million fish in comparison to the cost of a pack tax. At any rate it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.'

HE LIKES BLONDES

When Sam Knudsen arose in the chamber O. commerce meeting, says the Valdez Miner, and declared that he favored the colonization of Alaska provided the colonists were of the feminine gender, and young, he little rocked that his words would reverberate from hill to vale in the Alaska press. They have; many papers commenting on his re- marks and deeming them as sensi- ble as any passed at any chamber meeting. While many of the mem bers secretly coincided with Sans views they were afraid of some thing, because they remained silent when a few words would have greatly encouraged our popular wharfinger. And that is the differ ence between a bachelor and mar ried man: The bachelor can blurt out his opinions and not get roll ing pin in the back of the neck. At any rate, Sam has received mer- ited publicity over his public spirit ed remark. And he likes them to be blonde.

 Although the men plan to cover a great amount of territory. ttey will use airplane transportation ex- clusiveiy, and their entire trip will not take them longer than one month.
 As all the members of this expe- dition are enthusiastic sportsmen and have had varied experience in the past they look forward with keen interest to this, their first adventure in searching for polar bear.
 Upon their return to Fairbanks from the Arctic, the party will pro- ceed by plane to Kenai peninsula and Kodiak island to hunt Kodiak brown bear and grizzlies.

Typifying the speed with which the Territory can be covered by means of air travel, Charles Gold stein, prominent fur dealer, re- turned to Juneau on the Pacific Alaska Airways Lockheed Electra this week after covering the entire Yukon and KuskOkwim districts on a furbuying trip in less than two weeks after leaving Juneau for Fairbanks.
 From there he took a PAA plane to various points on the upper and lower Yukon river and upper and lower Kuskokwim, going into all of the fur centers to purchase skins. He obtained large quantities of all varieties, mink, fox, marten, bea- yer. wolf, lynx. etc.
 Furs were plentiful throughout the Interior but the fox skins along the Yukon and upper Kuskokwim were not up to standard quality this year, MT. Goldstein said

MORE CCC CAMPS

The Wrangell Chamber of Com merce at it's meeting last week joined with the Ketchikan Cham ber of Commerce in petitioning for an increased allotment of Civilian Conservation Corps workers for the Territory. The Ketchikan petition reads "even if it necessitates the importation of men from the states"
 It was pointed out in the mes-
The Wrangell sentinel., 1935-04-26

sage from the Ketchikan organiza- tion that this would be an oppor- tunity for Alaska to get road and trail construction.
 The Petersburg Press in report ing the discussion of the matter before the chamber of commerce in that city said that 'in the discus sion certain facts were revealed.
 Ut was reported. for example, that if outside labor was brought in under the CCC the government would pay travelling expenses from the point of enrolment. The trans portation costs would also be paid for return trips out of Alaska but only, however, in case the workers served their period of enrolment. In this connection it was indicated that CCC administration could not compel a man to finish his period of enlistment.
 It followed from this that any CCC worker could quit and get em- ployment in some one of the yari- ous phases of fishing. In this event they would not receive return fare to the States and might easily be- come a burden on the community, especially following the fishing sea- son.
 "A further expression of opinion revealed that CCC undertakings in the Petersburg vicinity would very likely provide work for all local residents who wished it.
 ''The point was also made that if the CCC procedure was similar to that in the States, the workers would turn twenty-five dollars a month over to their parents, keep ing only five dollars for them selves. This situation would lead them to find some sort of gainful employment wherein their personal compensation was higher.
 Following this analysis it was moved to wire c. H. Flory, regional forester, United States Forest Ser vice, who is now in Washington, that the Petersburg chamber old not favor the importation of cut side labor unless adequate provi- sion was made to get such labor back to the point of enrolment. The motion was carried"
 The Alaska Press reported that Wellman Holbrook, assistant re- Juneau Chamber of Commerce the reasons for not joining in the Ket- chikan petition.
 Tn explaining the working of this particular type of relief" ac- cording to the Press, MT. Holbrook pointed out that it would be better that the Forest Service receive all 1 lotments to carry out contemplated projects rather than to fill camps with single men who would pro- bably send their $25 monthly check | to dependents outside, instead of keeping the money in circulation in the Territory.
 ''To date never more than so 1 men have been enrolled in these camps, so it would seem illogical to ask for a quota of 600 men, he said.
 Believing that relief money could be kept in circulation in Alaska if the Forest Service re- ceived money to carry on their work relief projects, and that an increased allotment of CCC camps would be inadvisable, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce went on re- cord as approving the action taken in a previous executive board meeting to reject the proposition offered by Ketchikan.
 Tn e Cordova Times reported | merely that "the Cordova chamber | aligned itself with the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce in having | the CCC camps in Alaska doubled"
