Cedar Creek, in eastern Montana,
had no production but marketed
IAN barrels of oil in storage at
the beginning of 1899.
Production in Montana increased
by an average of 2,794 barrels
per day over 1888, the report shows
Every major field excepting Cat
Greek showed an increase. Cat
Creek showed a decline OF AZ bar
rels per day average.
Canadian shipments decreased
1O3.745 barrels from the 1888 fig
ure, a loss OF 2S3 barrels over 1888,
an average Of 1871 barrels more
than in the previous year. Exports

flowed wildly at the rate of AZ barrels per hour

flows with surge of pressure, with very low
gas-oil ratio.
Big West officials state that they do not ex-
peet to acidize this well but will allow it to
flow as long as it will flow naturally, there
after placing it on the pump. When production
drops off, it will be treated with hydrochloric
acid, they say.

JUNEAU SHOUTS HAPPY NEW YEAR IN NOISY STYLE
Whistles, Bells, Crackers, Cannon Hedrd-Night
 Clear and Warm

r. Young 1940 was accorded noisy reception by Juneau last night. Al the stroke of midnight, whistles bells, fire crackers, automobile horns and even a cannon joined in symphony of celebration for the coming of the new year and the passing of the old.
 The cannon fired a salco from Gastineau Avenue as the old fire bell and crocker bombs furnished the accompaniment. Boats in the harbor-including the Haida, Ton gass, Princess Norah and many gas boa a5s-sounded their whistles at 12, the Canadian boat departing from the time-honored custom to recog- niize midnight at the same time as the rest of Juneau.
 The Alaska Juneau mill whistle joined in the general ell nor as householders interrupted watch par ties to look outdoors on the clear warm night and New Years Eve merrymakers thronged the down. town streets.

 FILIPINO HERO
Crowd Dimes in Parish Hall to Do Honor 10
 Island Patriot

| Over one hundred Filipinos of Ju- neau, heir families and theil friends, joined in banquet Saturday night in Parish Hall to do annual honor to Rizal Day and the memory of that world famed patriot of the Philippines for whom the day was named upon his death.
 ! The turkey dinner, cooked by Fili- pinos, was a huge success, and fol- lowing the dinner, speeches, enter tainment and the playing of the Star Spangled Banner and the Philippine national anthem, dance was enjoyed.
 Guest of honor wsa. E. l.. Bartlett Secretary of Alaska, speaking in behalf of Gov. Ernest Gruening who, absent on a trip to Skagway sent warm letter of praise to Fiji pinos and their historic martyr for independence, Rizal, who died in prison at Manila for his attempts in early times to free his country men.
 While white and brown sat side by side and broke bread in friend ship, Secretary Bartlett, comment ing on the nearing independence of the Philippines, said: "Let us hope that by the time the independence act becomes operative, the world will have recovered sanity and it will be possible for a nation to live peace ably with its neighbors, with no thought of conquering or being con- quered."
 Tributes to Dr. Rizal, solos by Lil- lian Uggen, and music by the Fili- pino string orchestra, brought heavy applause, but hit of the evening was the singing of dark-eyed little Juan ita Diaz, whose mother, dressed in native Filipino costume at the ban quet, is one of the only two full blood Filipino women of the com munity, and called the Queen" of Juneau Filipinos.
 After the banquet, toastmaster Max Rayela, nephew of Emil Galao, kingpin of Juneau Filipinos, pro- nounced the occasion a complete success"

Revenue Was Chief Reason
For ~ Excess Profits Taxes
Pending Legislation Directed at Preventing
"a. War MiIIionuires, Will Yield Less

fore, recommend to the Congress the
enactment of q steeply graduated
excess profits tax, to be applied to
all individuals, and all corporate
organizations without discrimina-
ton"
Though the bill reported by the
House committee, and approved last
week by the House, provides for q
heavy excess profits tax on corpora
lions, it does not incorporate the
Presidents recommendation that the
levy apply to individuals. The COM
mittee, in its report, pointed out
that individual and partnership in
comes are already subject to heavy
surtaxes upon net income. whether
or not these incomes are left in
the business.
On August l the subcommittee
on Internal Revenue Taxation be-
gan consideration of the proposed
excess profits levy, and tax arlorti.
zation. About a week later it pre-
sented its recommendations, which
formed the basis for the public
hearings, held jointly by the Ways
and Means Committee and the SEN
ate Finance Committee.
AS reported to the House, the bill
departed at several important points
from the recommendation OF the
subcommittee, headed by Represent
alive Cooper Of Tennessee. These
changes, covering rates and other
provisions of the bill, were approved
by the full committee, after an ex-
tended debate.
Like other revenue measures, the
excess profits bill is a lengthy docu-
ment. The House report, which
summarizes the measure, covers IS
printed pages. 1--WE do not say that
we have produced a short, simple
statute that any one can read and
understand" Chairman Doughton of
the Ways and Means Committee
frankly admitted in explaining the
bill to the House last week.

1910 Farm Income Put
Near Nine Billions
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics estimated yesterday that
farm income for 1910 would total
$500, 000, 900, or $3.50, 600, 900 more
than last year.
The figure includes products solo
and Government payments.
In monthly summary of the
prospective farm situation, the bu-
reau also said:
That agricultural employment
would increase in September; farm
prices were higher this year than
last; about the same acreage would
be sowed to wheat In 194l as 1910;
the outlook continued favorable for
domestic cotton consumption and
continued exceptionally unfavor-
able for exports; fewer cattle would
be fed this fall and winter than
last, and the number of sows far
rowing this fall would be at least
II per cent smaller than 1899.
