Liquor Industry Ranks Third As
 Tax Producer

The Alaska liquor industry Is asI important to the livelihood of each community as it is to the Terri. forial tax structure. according to a factual study made by the Alaska Planning Council for the Governor This study will be submitted to the 1941 session Of the Legislature. Per- tinent facts from the study have just been released for publication by. Governor Ernest Gruening.
 The liquor industry ranks among the leaders in employment, wages paid and other expenditures. all Of. which figure in community reye-. nues. h taxation it ranks third. fisheries and mining only exceeding it.
 Based upon figures assembled from the larger communities. the trade pays out in wages. rent, light. heat. water, drayage, phone service. advertising and minor miscellaneous. items approximately sS50,000.00 an nually. It supports some 1900 per sons IL pays union wages and works union hours. It is closely regulated by officers of the Treasury Depart ment as well as Federal income tax officials.
 Ketchikan. with a wage scale comparable to that paid in Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks. is typi- cal of the larger communities of the Territory. In a survey made by H- censed. certified public accountant, labor alone in 1889 was paid in the First City the sum of $95033.00.
 Rentals was the next most i'm portant item. Package stores and cocktail lounges ranked as the sec ond in importance with a total of $24.100.00. Third was light, water and phone service with s11,331 co. Newspaper advertising in Ketehikan newspapers was third. aggregatiug S5,46700 Miscellaneous m n or items totalled $3,5S9.00.
 Local transfer companies shared to an appreciable extent. For dray- age alone, Ketehikan liquor dealers paid last year the sum of $3,361.00 AoI uldydSe. AO figures were OD- tainable for costs of wharfage and longshoring in any of the communi- ties, as it was not possible to segre- gate these from the other items on the general cargo list.
 Throughout the Territory nearly three hundred premises are occupied in whole or in part by licensed deal CTS While a substantial proportion of these are owned by licensees.

May Not Have Club for Inter
Mural Competition, Coach
Grevich States.

The Memorial high school girls may
not have a swimming team for inter-
mural competition, according to Miss
Madelyne Grevich, coach. Reason is
that four of the best prospects will
not be out because of doctors orders,
and lack of interest on the part of
other prospective candidates.
In place of inter school meets, broad
program of intra- mural sports within
the school itself will be carried on,
Miss Grevich said, if enough candidates
cannot be obtained for a representa-
tive club.
Six other range schools will not have
teams, insofar as is known. They are
Mountain Iron, Aurora, Biwablk, Gill
bert, Bull, and Eveleth. Eveleth drop
ped out year ago. Virginia ano
Chisholm are the only schools who are
certain about the sport.
Among the lettermen who cannot
compete are Captain Peggy Lambert
star diver; Angela Poljanec, breast
stroker, and Emily Debeltz, crawl, al
members of last seasons aggregation
Another letter winner two years ago
who was expected out this season, Ruth
Erickson, back stroke swimmer, ma!

Here are few tips to follow before
you leave on a trip:
/. Before you start out, check tires,
brakes, lights, mirror, horn, and wind
shield wiper.
2. If there is a defect in any OF
these parts, have it repaired imme-
diately at your garage. Don't drive
with makeshift repairs.
8. Keep to the right-stay in your
lane.
4. Never pass another vehicle on a
curve. near the crest of a hill, or al
road intersection.
5. At night and in foggy or stormy
weather, which we are likely to en-
counter at this time of the year, re-
duce your speed and increase your
caution.
6. If you must stop on the high
way or if you are forced to park, do sc
off the highway proper.
These are simple rules, and common
sense tells us that their application
will help us not only on trips, but il
our daily driving as well.

PRICES liked
ON TRUST LAND
State Gets 10 Per Cent More
Than Appraisal Figure at
Land Sales.

The highest average price per acre
in years was paid this year for state
trust fund land, according to tabula-
tons by the division of lands and min
erals.
The average price was 1896 per
acre. In Roseau county one tract was
sold for $33 an acre. This was burned
over land, easily cleared and particu-
larry adapted for producing clover
seed.
A total of 14,06346 acres were sold
for $129, 22875. Many tracts leased by
the state from year to year were sold
and will be restored to the tax roll.
The highest county average was in
Wilkin where price of $12.56 an acre
was paid. other county sales included
Clay, with an average of $3.50 per
acre; Kittson at $3.50 per acre and
Norman county where $12.56 per acre
was paid.
MIST of the land brought 10 per
cent increase over appraisals made by
the state. The results of the sale
show an increased demand for state
lands.
