DURANT Is

A lot of people in this community expect one continual
stream Of cars to come through Durant on highway 81 coming
from Memphis south to Jackson, New Orleans ana points on
the Mississippi Gulf coast, when 81 is completed within the
next six or enigh months.
One thing certain. We're ready for them.
Durant now has eleven service stations. Another is un-
der construction. Looks like we have enough now to handle
the traffic.
Maybe if we can rig up a mammoth cave or a waterman
or some kind of tour we can inveigle some OF the travelling
public to stop long enough to take a look OF our FAR little
city.
Not that we are mercenary, but maybe we can get them
to stop and spend a few dollars.
1t may not be a good one. But it's an idea.

A city is made up of a group of people who live together,

US. Writes Finish To Attempt 1919

 WASHINGTON, June l4, The State Department today wrote finis, insofar as The United Stat es is concerned, to the disastrous attempts by Allied governments in 1919 to intervene in Russia and by armed force overthrow the Soviet government
 The Department opened the fil- es containing it's hitherto secret documents relating to the fiasco conducted by the American, Brit ish, Japanese, French and Italian government in Archangel and Si- beria.
 The record reveals Japan pro- baby lost the greatest number of men. The United States and Great Britain the largest amount of money and supplies. All shar- ed in the loss of prestige.
 Perhaps the most important of all, the record contains a detail ed account of the diplomatic in- trigue and machlnations which went on, particularly in Siberia, to involve the United States dir ectly in a war against the Bol- sheviks and to commit this coun- try 10 a long and costly campaign to make Russia safe for Demo- cracy.'

OFFICE OF A. ]. DIMOND Delegate from Alaska
 (By J. J. ECKLES)

Washington, D. C., May g, 1937
 The House Committee on the Territories, May 18th, considered at length the bill introduced by Representative Magnuson of Wash ington, to repeal the Federal tax of Sl.00 per ton on ships and ship ping and freight and passenger transportation lines operating in Alaska, as provided by Section 176 of the Compiled Laws of AL aska, 1883. The bill is identical with a bill introduced in the Sen ate by Senator Murray of Mon- tana, Representative Magnuson, the author of the bill; former Sen ator Dill, representing transpor- tation interests; J. J. Underwood, representive of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce; and Claude E. Wakefield, attorney for the Alas ka Steamship Company and the Northland Transportation Com pany, made statements in support of the bill.
 The law imposes the tax on ships which are registered in AL aska or not paying license or tax elsewhere" and doing local busi- ness for hire in Alaska waters. The word elsewhere" was in one Case construed by the United Sta tes Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the case of Northern Commercial Company vs. U S., reported in PIT Federal Reporter at page. 33, to mean in some other Judicial Division of the Territory of Alaska. Senator Dill proved to the satisfaction of the Committee that that decision was contrary 10 the intent of Con gress as expressed in the debate when the tax law was originally enacted. Hence 1t may be con- cIuded that the word elsewhere" means at some other place in the United States and not some other Judicial Division of the Territory of Alaska
 The view of the Department of Justice is that the tax may be collected only if and when ships in Alaska do an interport busi- ness and that the tax provisions of the law do not apply to con- merce carried on between Seattle, CT any other point in the States, and Alaska. Since the interport business in Alaska IS relatively small il is said that many ships which now do such business wdll withdraw from interport business in the Territory if the tax provisions of the law are not repealed, thus depriving the citi- zens of Alaska of steamship trans portation service they are now receiving,
 Delegate Dimond stated that while he was of the opinion that the steamship companies should register in Alaska and thus be subject to and pay the tax with out question, the owners could not be compelled to register their ships in Alaska and, therefore, the only effect of the operation of the law would be to put a pro- hibitive tax on interport business carried on in Alaska, and since shipping facilities in Alaska were now insufficient and therefore everything possible should be done to increase, rather than di- minish, these facilities. The dele gate insisted, however, that if the I.I1 ,r,n~z x- dhtc
