GAME TONIGHT
 AT BALL PARK,
 IF NO SHOWER

Only two obstacles stand in the way of the Moose baseballers to- night in their effort to tie Douglas for the second half honors in the local league. Perhaps it will rain at game time, if not, perhaps the Legion will beat the Moose. In the latter event Douglas will be the winner of both halves of the pen nant race and there will be nothing left but to bestow the bunting upon them. If it rains, the outcome of the second half will be still in deep doubt, as the game between the Moose and the Legion, billed for tonight at o'clock in the Ju- neau Park, will decide the final re- suits. There is one other league contest still to be played, probably tomorrow evening, between the Le- zion and the Elks, but as both teams are eliminated from any pennant chance. that game will be but an anti-climax.
 Tal Picinini will be the hurler for the Moose in tonight's all-import- ant game, with Tex Hawkins com pleting the star battery. The Le- zion pitching choice seems to lie between Bob Keaton and Grassy Lowe, with Obie Krause probably behind the bat in place of Clark, who was injured in last evenings game with Douglas. which was won by the Islanders.

could be given to the farmers, which individually none of them could afford to obtain otherwise.
 This present administration has shown itself more wild-life minded than any before" Dr. Lloyd said in relation to the present study he is making of a potentially increased fur farming industry in Alaska.
 pr. Lloyd has made two previous trips to Alaska. Tn 1930 he came to the Territory to set up the present University of Alaska, and Federal Government extension work, on the meagre $10,00O allotted at that time and appointed MT. Oldroyd as di- rector.
 Your Delegate to Congress Mir Dimond, and President Charles E. Bunnell of the University of Alaska were of great help in getting the Capper- -Ketcham act extended to Alaska. This act provides for addi- tional funds in connection with the extension service.
 Before going south pr. Lloyd will visit Fairbanks and the Matanuska Valley colony at Palmer.
 In addition to Alaska Dr. Lloyo is in charge of the extension work in eleven Western States and Ha- waii, which prevents him from mak- ing as many trips to Alaska as he would like.

ALASKA s. s. COMP ANY CITED
 ON TAX CHARGE
Information Filed in District Court Claims Firm Did
 Not Pay License Fee

Information charging the Alaska Steamship Company with failure to pay its Federal license taxes in the Territory for the year 1883, amount ing to $35,299, was filed in United States District Court here today by District Attorney William A. Holzheimer. The action is by way of test suit, the first of its kind brought in the Territory under this law.
 It is charged in the information that the company operated IS yes sels in Alaskan waters during that season with net tonnage of 35,299 tons. Under the statute the tax is one dollar per annum per net ton. It is charged further that the steamship company operated with out applying for a license, obtain ing it for paying the per ton li- cense fee. Court officers said that no license tax has been paid by the company here in any of the ensu- ing years since 1883. The company is incorporated under the laws of Nevada, it was reported.
 Section 176 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska under which the infor- nation is filed provides that ocean and coastwise vessels doing local business for hire, plying in Alaska waters, registered in Alaska or not paying license or tax elsewhere, must pay one dollar per ton per an- mum on net tonnage, customhouse measurements, of each vessel
 It is the contention of Federal officials here that the company has not paid the Federal tax under the provisions of the law elsewhere.
