ALAsKA'S
INCOME CONTRIBUTOR

The eight to ten million dollars which resident and non resident Al askans = individuals and com- panies - pay into the federal treas ury annually through income taxes and other forms Of federal revenue. come into bold relief when eompar- ed with what is contributed by the far greater population Of continent al America.
 With only 30,000 whites Alaska far more than pays her share, and therefore is entitled to a far great return in proportion to population than any other American possession. Compare the magnificent cOntribu- ton by Alaska's little army Of in dustrious people as entrusted with the 130,000.000 or so in eOntinen- tai America, and it is easy to see why this Territory is entitled to generous federal allowances.
 Assuming that the revenue of the federal government for the year. from income and other sources Is S9,0O0,000, the Territory is en- titled to a credit of $500 per capita for every white person-man, wom- an and child in the Territory.
 If all continental America paid in like proportion it's total contribu- ton would reach the enormous sum of thirty-nine billion. Actual fig ures show that the total last year was but a fraction of that sum, or S5,685, ,000, 1000 - and that included not only income taxes but also ex- cess profits taxes, social security taxes, railroad retirement and all other internal revenue taxes. Income taxes accounted for less than half the total.
 Alaska stands out as a little giant of production and in revenue paid t0 Uncle Sam. No other American pos session gives more per average in diYiduaL It is worth noting that fewer than three million persons in the entire United States paid in come taxes in 1936, and fewer than six million individuals earned as high as S1.000 for the year.
 Uncle Sam has good reason to keep this northern treasure vault produeing-to see that it is eneour- aged with every possible facility and modern project. Where has he a better investment or gets more for the money he allows to keep the dollars rolling in to replenish the great lending and spending of the nation.-Fairbanks News-Miner.

ALATEA NATIVE AND BEAR
 BATTLE ON K0YUKUK

Leonard Kobuk and another na- tive and companion arrived at Ko- yukuk station a couple of weeks ago in skin boat. which after month on the river. had carried them from Alatna. And with their arrival the following story was related:
 They saw a bear across the river one day and decided 10 take a shot at it: Leonard's partner banged away at least I2 times, one shot crippling the animal
 The young men then made for shore. climbed the bank in haste each tak- ing different route thru the brush Leonard ran smack into the bear in the thick underhrush; practically ran into the huge embrace of the bear and the first tnIng the young man knew he was down on the ground, under the bear, and fight ing for his life!
 Again and again the snarling jaws were held off from crushing bites and great hairy paws with long, sharp claws thrust aside. but only H4kA kAAg sAAA DA 44GUud4 n H DIE IEEL and strong legs. But even so. in the wild melee, Leonard's face and body were badly laeerated. Leonard's skill and knowledge of wrestling stood him in good stead, for with his feet and one arm he gained a half-nel- son and with the free arm, drew his Luger and pistol-Bhipped the bruin about the skull with such ter rife force that the bear fell over unconscious.
 Leonard staggered to his feet, scanned the horizon ana saw his pal approaching at a run. And it was just about that moment when the bear snapped out of it. However, instead of again attacking Leonard, the bear apparently figured the lad was too tough a hombre, so with a lightning leap. vanished into the thick and leafy underbrush; ma ture's protection to primitive crea- lures.
 Aside from a scared face and a sore leg, Leonard shows no signs of his thrilling encounter with an AL aska bear, but he wants no more of it. He figures one such story is sufficient to tell his grandchildren.

sTKINE ANn CAssIAR HOTsH0Is
 (By Ken NaYills)

Mrs. VIII Thorman who has been visiting friends and relatives in Scotland, returned last week to Wrangell where she took passage on the river boat for the last leg Of her long journey. The principle ob- ject of her trip was to visit, perhaps Tor the last time her aged father whose failing health has caused her great concern.
 Her biggest thrill came on the Hazel B When we struck a sand bar at half speed. Mrs. Thorman, who was sitting down at the time, left her chair with great eelerity and with a complete disregard to dig nity. Bouncing along the deck in no uncertain manner. she managed to regain her feet and composure with no harm done. Since the incident had somewhat of a humorous twist it was just a good joke to Mrs. Thorman. She is the wife of the missionary at Telegraph Creek.
 
 The Hudson's Bay Co. is sending on a young man and his wife to re- place MT. Mcbride who is in charge of an outpost at Dease Lake. Mr. Mcbride, planning on being married next week to a young lady visiting him from Vancouver. is blithely un- aware of his immediate transfer to some other part of the Dominion. We hope that this unexpected in cident will in no way interfere with his matrimonial plans.
 
 Mrs. Zaida Holland of Ketchikan was a passenger last week, and al- though she has been up the Stikine several times in the past, she says that each trip gains in interest.
 
 Joe Walsh, partner of s. c. Bar rington, came down last week from Boulder creek where he is still test ing the ground. MT. Walsh intends to remain in the country until Christmas and oversee the transfer of Captain Barrington's mining equipment to Boulder. It is believed that .parts of the road will have to De HIu6uEU CouSAuEIdul9 lO dNCOlu~ modate parts Of the dragline.
 Mir. Walsh said that conditions so far have been extremely favor able for the new mining develop ment The Stikine being unusually high for this time of year, has per mitted the use of the Hezel B No. 2 in transporting the heavy equip ment from Clearwater to Telegraph creek. In ordinary years this boat would have been off the river two trips ago.
 Add to this the fact that the Can adian government has authorized the construction of a road from Dease Lake to Boulder Creek there by saving Messrs. Walsh and Bar rington precious time and expense.
 
 Earl Fisher came down the river this trip after a fOur-months stay at Alice Creek, where he has spent very successful season working a lay on the Shea property. MT. Fish CT whose home is in Seattle, has been in the Cassiar for two seasons and will return again next year.

CORONER ACTS TO WIPE
 OUT GAMBLING PLACES

Madison County, H., of which EdwardsYille is the county seat. has been infested with gambling dens for years. Much of the patronage of these places came from St. Louis and .he employees of the oil refin- cries, steel mills and other heavy industries of Madison County itself. Aside from a number of pretentious gambling houses and big halls, where as many as 2,500 persons played bingo or lotto at one time, there were many dives" licensed as taVerns and saloons where crap games were played and the slot ma chimes were operated.
 Apparently, it was impossible to get either the sheriff or the states attorney to take action against the dive" operators or the high-toned places. But ". ". Billings, the six foot-three coroner and former col lege football tackle, became tired of seeing the debauehery from gam bling and the poor mulcted. Accord ingly he assumed the responsibility granted the office of coroner under the Illinois Statutes to act in such matters when the sheriff is partial or prejudiced" and served notice to the gambling fraternity that by Au- gust 1st all gambling must stop in Madison County. Just to show that he meant what he announced he led his own deputies on two raids. This was enough. It brought assurances from other gamblers that their places would immediately close.
 In commenting on the results of
The Wrangell sentinel., 1938-09-16

his announcement, Coroner Billings said, There are a few loose nails still around. I am going to knock them on the head and pretty soon the lid will be down tight and it will stay down as long as am cor oner. It's a nasty business, and l wanted to duck it Somebody had to do something about it, and nobody else would No gambling house can exist under the Illinois law" he added, "unless the man who runs it has the nod from the right officials
 Now that every coroner in Illinois has been put Ion the spot as an officer whose duties and powers ex- tend beyond holding inquests, by the action of Coroner Billings, the gambling cliques fear that they will have another officer to fix in each county Or else run the chance of being put out of business.

to conflne the investigation to the

He thought such an inquiry would
