 Their mission was to conduct a tree cline to determine susceptibil- ity to tuberculosis of children and adults in the community. Through the cooperation of pr. J. H. Clem ents three clinics were held at his office in which AT were tested as a part of the survey being made to establish data on which to base a request for an adequate tubercular sanitorium in Alaska.

 Mrs. Cauthorne and Miss Shriyer left Friday night for Ketchikan, leaving Miss Moran and Miss An derson to organize a public health council. A meeting to this end was called by F. G. Hanford, president of the Red Cross. Officers elected to the council were F. c. Hanford, chairman, Dr. J. IF. Clements, vice chairman, Arnold Krone. secretary Mrs. M. o. Johnson, nursing chair man. The officers constitute auI executive board to act for the mem bers of the council
 Miss Moran stated that in the near future a public health nurse would be located in Wrangell and asked that a suitable office be found for her. The room adjoining Dr. Clements offices in the city hall, was decided upon as being the most desirable. It is now used as a Red Cross storeroom.

Sitka Cannery Battles With Fed. Tax Officer

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Pyr- amid Packing Company, Inc, sitk |, Alaska. is fighting the commission CT of internal revenue over an al- legged income tax deficiency fo 1888 because it thinks it should be allowed greated deduction for de preciation On it's property.
 According to the commissioner, the company's property will last longer than it thinks, and therefore he cannot allow the full SIP, ,459 . 21 depreciation deduction asked by the concern.
 The packing company, filing a petition with the board of tai ap- peal said the commissioner was wrong that it could not expect such a long useful life on it's property as the commissioner thought correct and should be allowed sufficient deduction now to make up for the cost of the property while it still mad some value.
 Of the amount in controversy, the commissioner would allow a depre- citation deduction of only $2,929.- 91. instead of the full $12,485.21 demanded by the Alaska firm.
 In taking the matter before the board of tax appeals, the Pyramid Packing Company charged it could prove it should be allowed the full deduction asked, and that with the deduction allowed there would be no question of a deficiency for tha year in question.
 The commissioner asserted tho company owed the government a deficiency of $1,341.35 and that the burden of proving no deficiency would be up to the company.

COYOTES INCREASING ON
 SHAKES CREEK SAYS LARSON

Mike Larson, oldtimer of the North who was retired in 1883 af- ter 25 years in the Hudson's Bay service, returned Tuesday morning from a trip south for medical att tention for his little daughter, and took passage on the Hazel B No. ? that afternoon for his home on upper Shakes creek.
 Mr. Larson went into the Cas- siar in '9S and prospected in that country for ten years. He then en- tered the employ of the Hudson s Bay Company and was stationed at various times at the McDames, Liard and Dease posts.
 In 1914 Larson. in company with Chris Harding, went to Vancouver to outfit for opening a post at Bailey Bay in the Arctic ocean 500 miles east of Point Barrow.
 Two vessels, the Fort McPherson and the schooner Ruby of Seattle set out from Vancouver They were stopped by an early ice barrier at Point Barrow The Ruby went back to Seattle but the Fort Me Phorson wintered at Teller north of Nome.
 The next year the men made the Arctic trip successfully and estab- lished the post which Is still main tained. Mir Larson then returned to the Cassiar.
 Following his retirement e bought the holdings of Red Latimer at Shakes Creek, four miles from Glenora. Here he hunts and traps in the winter. He reports that a great change has taken place in the Cassiar since early days. There are now only a small number of In- dians in the country compared to the number in '9S They have died off and have scattered even farther north and east because of the growing scarcity of game and fur.
 He notes at his place. on the upper Shakes that coyotes are tn- creasing rapidly. There are some wolves but not many. While the coyotes will kill anything, they are particularly destructive Il h e depredations of moose calves.

Ketchikan at the Waterfall can nery this summer.
 When Miss Willoughby came north a few years ago, she was very much interested in the rom ance of salmon fishing and pack ing, Friele said. "She spent a good deal of time in Ketchikan and around the cannery, and became very well acquainted with the peo- pie of the town and the salmon industry. Dennis Ryan, superintend- ent of the Hidden Inlet cannery, furnished Miss Willoughby with a great deal of local color and in- formation, and enabled her to meet number of prominent Alaska res idents who later appeared in the pages of her book.

MOOSE STOPS FAIRBANKS
 MOTORISTS AT SHAW CREEK

Two moose were seen recently on the road at Shaw Creek flats by 6 motoring party of five Fairbank- sans. The first moose was in the middle of the road when the auto m b le approached. The driver stopped the car about fifty feet from the animal The moose stood watching the automobile three oI four minutes making no effort to move when the horn of the car was sounded. Finally the driver started the car and chased the animal down the road. When the moose ran off the road he stopped and looked back at the automobile, appearing very angry,
 The motorists had not gone more than half a mile when a second moose which had been lying at the side of the road jumped up and scurried a few feet into the brush to watch the automobile and it's occupants very curiously. He seemed to be more timid than the first moose because he showed some fright from the honking of the horn. At Jarvis Creek where the party stopped for lunch the ladies experienced another thrill. For the first time they heard the bowling of a pack of wolves which were near by.
