1T ALL DEPENDS

From day to day Congress may
be reported to be interested in
various legislative matters. Con-
troversy over each item quickly
passes, however.
There, is one subject which oc-
cupieS each mind around the
Capitol from the Speaker of the
House and the Vice President
to the lowliest messenger.
That subject is the adjourn
ment of Congress.
Betting has already begun with
wagerS placed on the day when
the doors will close for the sum-
mer.
Some contend it will be April
IS. Others say that Congress will
remain until the first Of May
while there are some who predict
it will be in session until the
middle Of the flower month.
ALI agree that it depends on

CONFUSED

II the AAA legislation caused
trouble in Congress the Admins
tration's new farm bill created far
more CONSERVATION in the minds
of legislators.
Many men who were doubtful
as to che conStitutionality Of the
AAA bill are firmly convinced that
the new legislation fails to come
within the constitutional scope as
set forth by the Supreme Court
in its Triple A ruling.
Men who stood by the President
on the vast majority of recon-
mended legislation refused to go
along with him on the farm bill
because of their convictions that
it will eventually be overruled by
the court.
Many others who apparently "a
Vored the bill whispered in the
cloakrooms that they knew they
were wrong.
They said that the new legisla-
tion was illegal but that they must
vote for 1t because Of political pur.
poses.
When the AAA legislation was
voted these men had some reason
to believe that the Triple A might
be upheld. But with the ruling Of
the court to guide them, they have
no faith in the present bill.
Consequently, no vote can be
considered a correct Interpretation
OF the actual views Of Congress.

Conditions in Washington and
 Alaska Improve
Increased Earnings Shown by Income Tax
 Collections

TACOMA, March II. - Another proof of the improved economic condition of the citizens of the State of Washington and the Territory of Alaska, as shown by their increased earnings during 1885 as against 1884 is being recorded daily by the 1885 income tax collections which are be- ing received with returns filed, Alex McK. Vierhus, Collector of Internal Revenue, stated today.
 Collections for January. 1886 were seventy-one per cent over Jan uary. 1885, and for February, 1886 sixty-five per cent over Februs ry 1895, or a gross gain for the first two months of approximately sixty seven per cent.
 Collections of current income tax for the first two months total S657, 475.42, a gain of s269, ,25S.43 over the collections for the first two months of 1935. The Collector believes this increase is even more notable for the reason that the income tax col- lections for the year 1885 were ap-

ALASKA PRINCE PLANS RETURN
 TO TERRITORY
Son of Last Russian Gov ernor Now Ships Cap
 tain for Grace Line

Alaska's last prince is. no longer Prince" but MT, and is ready to return to Alaska, the land over which his father was the last Gov ernor for Russia.
 This was revealed today in a let ter received by the Rev. A. P. Rash evaroff, from Prince Dmitri Petro- vich Maksoutoff, now a ships cap- tain in New York, in which the roy al navigator stated: u
 My late father was the last governor of the possessions, and during his administration on the 18th of October, 1867. the trans fer took place of the Russian pos sessions to the United States on the Island of Sitka in New Archangel," i" writes Capt. Maksoutoff. From the large family of my father those remaining alive are only myself, and my youngster sister, Baroness Maria Dnlitrovra Flitingoff, w..ose whereabouts I do not know
 Once Fleet Captain
 MT Maksoutoff at ona. time was a captain of the first rank in the Black Sea Fleet, lived through the revolution, and in 1920 managed to leave Russia on the ship Vladimar, thus saving his young son Constah- tine and some valuable documents. The documents, many of them at least, were passed down by his father, and concern Alaska and Sitka. The young son. Constantine MakSoutoff, is now a chemical en- gineer with the Atlantic Refining Company in Philadelphia, and it was through a letter from him to his father that Prince" Maksoutoff learned of Father Kashevaroff.
 T have gone through terrible times" his letter says, but remem- bering that I by birth am sea- faring man, returned to work on the blue sea. I sailed in 1925 as a fireman. It was my good fortune to get aboard an American freighter in 1927 as an ablebodied seaman. Gradually, arose to the rank of quartermaster, and was employed on the largest steamer, the 59,OOO- ten Leviathan. Studying without stop, at last in January of 1883, I received my American citizenship. and in February of that same year, passed examination and received my masters license. Now I am in the service of the Grace Line, which has just sold two steamers to the Alaska Steamship Company
 Citizenship Papers
 T have received ,, citizenship papers, not as Prince, but as MT. Maksoutoff -.
 of course you must remember, how having lost my fatherland. family, and all-all; something yet draws me to the place where my father lived. where the grave of my stepfather, the first wife of my father lies. I am the son of his second wife, Princess Maria Vladi- marovna, and I was born in Peters burg in 1870 :"
 Capt. Maksoutoff is willing to give up what he has accomplished, and start again at almost anything in the beginning, so that he may return once more to Alaska, where Maksoutoff Castle once stood. and the graves of the family are now almost forgotten in the tall grass on little knoll in Sitka.

LEGISLATURES !. iSPEcIAI'T
 PLAN DROPPED
Delegate Informs Governor No Extra Session
 to Be Asked

The possibility of a special session of the Territorial Legislature this spring faded today. when Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond ir1- formed Gov John w. Troy that the matter has been laid at rest.
 Delegate Dimond originally sug- gested the special term in order to secure passage of enabling legisla- tion to place Alaska under the bene- fits of the Social Security Act. However. due to the nearness of the primary elections, and the neces- sity of holding special balloting in order to hold the spring session, territorial officials proposed that the security legislation be deferred un- til the regular term next fall.
 The Territorial Administrative Board informed the. delegate of its stand after a special meeting early this month.

 It is interesting to note that the greater part of the increase for the first two months of this year has been on 104OA income tax returns which are filed by the small salary and kage earning class. The rec ords so far indicate substantial gain, however, for all classes of tax payers.

their wares hot. They carried them
in large wicker baskets, such as we
still use on wash days here. The
buns were placed in layers of flannel
to keep them warm, and then covered
over with an outer cloth Of white or
green. It is related that the bun
vendors of old were also extremely
cautious in the manner in which they
handed out the buns to customers,
permitting only one hand to slide GIN
gerly beneath the covers in drawing
out their wares, thus allowing only the
smallest possible breath of air to pene-
trate inside.
The hot cross buns of yesteryears
were much more crisp and crunchy
than our softer modern ones. They
also were more highly favored with
spices, and had sticky coating of
Drowned sugar. So favorite dainty
did these old pastries become with the
English, that more than two hundred
years ago in Chelsea, two royal bun
houses sprang up, waging the bitterest
of bun feuds" over the all-important
question of which baked the best
buns?
Each contended that the English
kings and queens, themselves, patron
lied its house. One took the name
of Chelsea Bun House, and the other
that of the Real Old Original Chelsea
Bun House. Popular taste seemed to
shift, at intervals, from one to the
other.
Both occupied large, frame build
ings with covered counters, stretching
along their fronts. People used to travel
miles on foot and horseback, getting
up at the first flush of dawn on Good
Friday morning, to eat fresh hot cross
buns there, or to buy them in square,
black boxes to take back home.
Although the Christian sign of the
cross has been imprinted upon these
hot cross buns for many centuries

a man named Ben Boldt of trip he
and another young man took to Ber-
muda. The ship was to sail at mid
night, and after an evening of pleas
ant dissipation in New York they
went on board. Before turning in
they had several rounds of drinks in
the ships bar. An accident of some
kind delayed the sailing and the next
morning when Mr.. Boldt's companion
awoke he looked out the portfolio
and saw the New York docks. He
swore a mighty oath and clapped his
hand to his brow.

w THY is it that there are usually
w some sinister associations about
the word Easter when we find
1t on the map? 1t doesn't seem quite
in keeping, states a writer in London
Answers Magazine.
The classic example is Easter Is
land, in the Pacific. 1t got its name
in quite straightforward fashion, when
a Dutch admiral discovered 1t one Eas-
ter Sunday, over 200 years ago.
But the place itself has forbidding,
desolate air. There are few trees, and
even birds, usually plentiful in these
islands, seem strangely scarce. But
there are great volcanic rocks and
craters, and strange relics of van
ished civillzation-huge platforms and
mysterious statues, with features
that are grim masks Of cruelty and
defiance, staring eerily into nothing
ness.
Not a pleasant place, Easter island.
apart from its famous statues, but they
give it the final touch that makes it
