Aluminium Co. Is Considering Plant Ln Alaska
PULP PROJECT IS OUTLINED BY TuR(0TTE.

The president of firm plan ming at $32,OO0,000 pulp plant ir Ketchikan told the Senate Taxa tion Committee here yesterday ht believed a proposed one per cent property tax on full value woulo put any proposed project right out the window"
 The statement was made by Law son Turcotte of Bellingham, Wash. president of the Ketchikan Pulr and Paper Co.,, in discussion with the committee on plans for the big industrial project and the pos sible effects of the tax bill which passed the House last week.
 He told the Senators the cost of building an Alaska plant and get ting an adequate water supply would compare to $20,000,000 lay out in the southeastern states.
 And if taxed on one per cent of full value, no one would come into Alaska on that basis" he de- 
 clared.
 "It's a question we have to settle before we go ahead"
 He said such a tax would add $3.2O per ton to extra Alaska costs which he described as already formidable"
 Cost SIS Per Ton Extra
 He estimated the total extra costs of financing, shipping and Canadian rail transportation via Prince Rupert, B. C., would make the cost about SIS per ton above similar Mississippi production.
 ITO offset this partially we hope we can put bigger logs into the mill cheaper than in the states or British Columbia
 Mississippi, he said, offers sites tax free for 10 to 15 years.
 George Sundborg, Alaska Devel- opment Board Consultant, said the President of an Alaska industria corporation considering Sitka pulp project had wired that the new Territorial taxes would "alto- gether jeopardize our financial schemes"
 The wire added that in solicit ing financing it had been stress ed that there would be no income or property taxes.
 Sundborg proposed to the Sena- tors an amendment of the bill to exempt pulp and other major new industries from the property tax for their first ten years ot operation.
 Turcotte estimated the proposed mill at Ketchikan would employ 400 men, with at least $50 more in the woods. Stevedoring, tow ing and other work, he said, would bring the total to 1000 or more with all employed the year around
 Want Industries
 Senator Rivers, committee chair man, assured the hearing that the legislators were anxious for new industries and would try to evolve satisfactory solution.

Montana Farm Income
StabIest i'm District

THE MONTANA CASH farm in
come for the nine months, January
through September, 1949, was $193,-
846,000, according to a federal re-
serve bank report. This income
compared with 1922, 800, 900 for the
same period in 1913 and the 1859
average of $50, 857, OO0.
While the 1949 income was IS
percent smaller than that of 1948,
this reduction for Montana was less
than that of any other state in the
ninth federal district, the report
showed. Farm income was off Is
percent in Minnesota, 10 percent in
South Dakota and % percent in
North Dakota.

You Can File Final
Return Jan. 81

YOU MAY TAKE advantage this
year of an extra Is days time to file
your final income tax returns.
Farmers and ranchers now
have until Jan. Is, 1850. 10 file
their final income tax returns
for 1s49. and if the tax is paid
IN full by that lime. they will
not need TO file a declaration of
estimated tax.
Thomas M. Robinson, collector Of
internal revenue, Helena, points out
that public law No. 1873, 81st con-
gress, approved Oct. 25, 1949,
amends section so (a) of the in
ternal revenue code and extends the
time for filing final income tax
returns for farmers from Jan. Is to
Jan. 81.
Now, if you have been filing a
estimate of your income tax on Jan.
Is and then have filed a final re-
port by March Is, the change does
not affect you. You can still follow
that procedure.
But If you have been avoiding
filing an estimate by making a
final report and payment on
Jan. Is. the new ruling gives
you another Is days. or until
JAN. 81 to file that report.
1t IS important to remember that
if you let Jan. Is. go by without fill
ing a report, then you must file your
final report and make payment by
Jan. 81. You cannot wait until
March Is.

Farm Income Nav Be
Lower i'm 1850

FARMERS CAN EXPECT lower
incomes in 1850.
There may not be a depression or
price break, but all factors indicate
farm product prices will continue
to decline during 1850, asserts A. VI.
Willis, economist of the Wyoming
agricultural extension service.
AT least 10 percent below 194e
prices is the forecast for prices re-
ceIved by farmers. Prices paid for
Items used in production are ex-
pected to decline between 2 and 8
percent. Thus, the decrease in net
farm income will be even more than
10 percent below 1949, Willis be-
leves.
All indications point to a ratio OF
prices received to prices paid below
l00 percent. This means the buvine
power of 1850 farm production will
be less than in 1904.

MINE FUND ACCOUNTING
 DEMANDED
Charges Made that Well fare Money Has Been lm-
 properly "Dissipated"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28-R- Ezra Van Horn, employer trustee for the coal miners pension fund, told a federal court today that John L. Lewis and Senators Bridg- es tR.-NH), his fellow trustees improperly "dissipated' the wei fare money.
 Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, represents the miners on the board. Bridges is the neutral trustee of the funds built up by a royalty on coal.
 Van Horns accusation was made in his answer to a suit for &C., counting of the fund filed by a miner.
 He said that his fellow board members refused to give him in- formation on how the multi-mil- lion dollar fund was being dis bursed.
 The acts of dissipation, he told the court, are the acts solely of Lewis and Bridges.
 Van Horn joined the original plaintiff, examiner George Liven- good of Pennsylvania, in asking the U. s. district court to require an accounting.

FI5HWHEEL EPISODE. UNFORTUNATE MINE. COMMISSIONER SAYS

Grave concern over the unjusu- fled excitement that is being man. ifested in Alaska as well as in the States as a result of recent dra- nlAtically expressed newspaper re- ports of the discovery of a very small amount of placer-gold on the shore of an island in the Yu- kon River in the vicinity of Fort Yukon and over the growing pro- portions of the influx into that remote locality at this time oI year of inexperienced, poorly equipped and poorly advised gold seekers is expressed by B. D. Stew art, Territorial Commissioner of Mines in Juneau.
 Stewart declared the physical hazards of encountering the ex- treme subzero temperatures which are almost certain to obtain during the remainder of the season in the remote and unpopulated Fort Yu- kon region are very great an should not be risked by the stran- ger to the country.
 The futility of attempting to sink by hand prospect holes in the deep water-filled alluvium adla- cent to the channel of a river the size of the Yukon was also stressed by Stewart.
 The discovery by the owner of fish-wheel of nugget of gold the size of a pea imbedded in mud at tached to the wheel when it was being dismantled for the winter and the subsequent discovery on the surface of a very small amount of additional grains or flakes oi gold in the vicinity may be &C., cepted as authentic as reported py newspaper correspondents an d others. but the natural occurrence of gold in the form of even small nuggets or grains of appreclaole size at or very near the surface of a stream channel that flows, as do the numerous channels of the 4u- kon at the locality in question, over a bed of very deep alluvium, re- niires to be established and ex- plained before the discovery may te reasonably accepted as vsliu indication that a gold deposit ol any importance has teen founo'
 In such a setting, rlacer-gold even in small grains is to be found at or near bedrock beneath the overburden of muck, silt and graVel and not at the surface, Stewart pointed out.
 ! The vast flat-lying alluvial basin known as the Yukon flats, about 7.5oo square miles in area, near the center of which the mushroom camp that has been dubbed Fish wheel is situated, is filled With alluvium in the form of vegetai muck. silt and gravel to depth as great as 237 feet as has been b
 f3royen by a drill hole sunk at Fort Yukon.
 The potential occurrence of a natural placer-gold deposit of any extent at or near the surface III such a setting is regarded as ian tastic by experienced placer mining men, who regard the presence oi the small amount of gold that has been reported found adjacent to the river channel at Fishwhee- and vicinity as a freak occurrence possibly best explained by the ac- tion of floating ice in transport ing the gold from some unloenu- fled source.

Catholic Mission
 We'll Attended

The Mission series of sermons and instructions continue each evening at St. Joseph's Catholic Church. Tn spite of wind and snow a large crowd has welcomed the lectures of the missionary. When questioned concerning the topic for tonigh.'S discussion, Father Toner made the following state nent:
 The Vocation of Marriage -.
 Perhaps it seems strange that a Catholic priest, should attempt to speak to you on the subject of matrimony. The fact that l have never been married does not elim- mate me as one who knows the trails and hardships, joys and hap pineSS of married life. If you break your arm, you take yourself to a doctor, not to one who has for merly had broken arm. The doc tor, because of his training and experience is an authority on broken bones, even though no bone in his body was ever broken. So also, the priest, because of his training and experience, is an au- thority on the causes of unhappi- ness in home life, though he has never experienced the happiness and satisfaction of establishing his own home.
 Marriage is a very definite voca- ton in life. and like every other vocation, marriage requires prep aration. If person enters the le- gal profession, he spends years preparing for his vocation and then does not expect success unless he eXpends constant effort in the pursuit of that vocation. Another chooses the medical profession, spends years in preparation mad then adds more years of work and study in his chosen field before he
 astes the sweet victory of success. Every vocation in life requires like preparation and diligence if success is ever to be found. Then, are we not unreasonable if we eX- pect. without preparation and without constant effort to find success in matrimony?
 Preparation for success in mar r;age begins in childhood. If par entS do not root SelfiShneSs from the hearts of their children, those ch'ld"en will grow to be selfish adol2scentS, and selfish young men and women. And selfish young man or woman will never De a good partner in a home. Happy home life is the fruit of true love, and love never asks, What am I going to get out of
 his?," but rather, What more can l give to the one that l love-" The preparation for marriage re- quires a character training which is Self-imposed and heart that is as free from self interest as it is tuned to love.
