week by the Blackfeet Tribal
Council from Felix Cohen, Wash

From Indian Service
(Toppenish Herald)

Toppenish, Wash. -Thirty-five
years of selfless service to the In

close for Melvin D. (Jim) Strang,
a man who never gave his gov
ernment less than IL hours for
an 8-hour day and often worked
increasingly for 18 hours and
more at a stretch.
This is the analysis of Wallace
S. Murdoch, agency extension Of

for over 18 years. the last II
years of that time at the Yakima
agency, and before that with the
Blackfeet agency at Browning,

He began with the Indian SER

It was there, IS years ago, that

Levi Contends Things

Levi Burd, who is spending
the winter at Great Falls, arrived

Levi said he has been doing
considerable travelling about this

of cattle and sheep. At present
he is operating with just a few
head of both cattle and sheep at
his ranch on the reservation.
He believes he sees the writ

1850 License Plates

background. The plates are a
little larger than last years in
order to make room for t h e
words, The Treasure State"
along the top edge of the plate.
County assessors throughout
the state will use the used car
guide, compiled by the National
Automobile Dealers Association
to base valuations for figuring
tax to be charged to each car.
Because the guide reflects ac-
tual sale values in this trade area
and because motor vehicle values
have dropped materially during
the past year, it is expected that
property tax will be lower on
most models.
There is. however, the addition
of the state highway use tax to
the regular charge of property
taxes and license fees to each We
hicle registered. This tax is ad-
ministered by the state highway
department and all monies COL

state and credited to the highway

of five percent which is allowed

amount equivalent to the license

Tax Collections
AreLarger Than
Previous Year

According to Mrs. Jessie Ali.
son, county treasurer, tax collec.
tions have been good this year,
and compare favorably with last
years figures. In personal taxes,
a total of $3.50, 528. AZ has b e e n
collected from a total assessment
of $541, 418,07 or more than SO
per cent. Last year 1898, 1892 of
$4O2, 96l.02, or 81 per cent, had
been collected at this time. In
real taxes $3O8, 1858 of a total
of $473, ,25s.67 or 65 per cent has
been collected. Last year II per
cent or $27O, 17O.74 of a total of
1884, ,477.57 had been collected on
real estate.
It was explained that this year
levies are a large percentage
higher than last year, which ac-
counts Tor some OF the dlfterenceS.
However, since only half of the
total tax is actually due in No.
vember, collection of 65 per
cent indicates that many property
owners have paid in full.

Halfway Mark Reached For e. Fund

w. w. Sipprell, president of the Chamber of Commerce, re- ports for the University Fund that to date it stands at $585.00 cash, and $22O,00 in pledges. The goal is $500, leaving $695 still to be collected.
 The collectinon work is being done entirely by volunteers who are anxious to do everything possible to present Seward as the best and most logical loca- tion for the college site. The committee asks that if anyone feels sighted because he has not been approached, he will vol unteer his contribution, no mat ter how small, to some member of the committee. Either to MT. Sipprell, w. c. Erwin, or at the office of this newspaper.
 Checks should be made pay able to The University Fund.
 The date of the final decision by the Board of Education is April IT, in Cleveland, Ohio.. Rev. Paul Irwin, as our repre- sentative, should leave town by April 10 as the very latest date possible, in order to get in some preliminary discussion before the general meeting.
 If having a college in town for the benefit of Seward chil- dren means anything to the toWnspeople at all, it should be worth few dollars to try for it, is the concensus of opinion among persons approached so far. i- f

Republicans Urge Registration For April Election

The Seward Republican Club appointed a committee to urge the registration of all local vot- CTS regardless of party affilia- tions, at the regular March meet ing held in the Lutheran hall Wednesday night.
 "The vote is the thing" said President Marvin Viale. Even census figures do not mean much to Washington, or to the Terri torial offices, if we cannot prove that Seward has a sizeable list of voters we will never get any where on appropriations or i'm provements for the town. We must get out the vote.'
 There is no permanent regis tration in Alaska. Every voter must register every year. Pri- mary election is to be held April 25, for the selection of the Ter ritorial Legislature.
 Every man and woman who has lived in the Territory for a period of one year, who $ a citizen of the United States, and who has lived in Seward or the voting precinct for a period of 90 days is eligible to vote.
 To vote, you must register. The books are open at the City Hall Register, before you forget!
 The Club voted to send a check for $500 as contribution to the University Fund. This is to be in addition to individual contributions.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT READY FOR DISTRIBUTION

Copies of the Report on Ex- ploratory Investigations of Agri- cultural Problems of Alaska, Miscellaneous Publication No. 700 of the Agricultural Research Administration, United States Department of Agriculture, are now ready for distribution from Agricultural Extension Offices in Fairbanks, College, Palmer and Anchorage.
 The 1947 Department of Agri- culture Appropriation Act pro- vided an appropriation to the ARA for special exploratory in- vistigations of Alaska to deter mine the basic problems under lying potential agricultural de- velopment in appropriate areas of Alaska as a guide to the de- velopment of future agricultur- al research in the region.
 Many Alaskan farmers will remember the task force of De- partment of Agriculture techni- clans who, in the summer of 1946, conducted the exploratory investigations for the ARA and who prepared this report.
 Miscellaneous Publication Mo- 700 of the Agricultural Research Administration is the 1855 page report of this group. Its findings, outlined in five chapters: Prob lems and recommendations for research - General statement, Soils of Alaska, General forage and range problems and possi- bilities in Alaska, Horticulture in Alaska, and Livestock Prob lems in Alaska, should be of vital interest to all Alaskans.

AR R Assures Fast Handling or Freight

Assurance that all freight for Alaska Railroad points can be expeditiously handled, came from top railroad officials Thurs day following the heaviest Jan- uary and February civilian freight movements on record.
 An appeal for shippers to take advantage of the normally slack January and February months, in view of an anticipated spring shipping boom, evidently met with success, according to rail- road spokesman.
 The Alaska Railroad moved 29,099 tons of civilian freight in January and 27,776 tons in February for total of 56,875 tons during the two months. These figures represent 25 per cent increase over the previous high January and February of 1948 when 45.307 tons of freight were handled for civilian enter prises.
 "The cooperation of Alaskan shippers has considerably alle- viated the pressure in shipping circles expected as the result of large scale construction pro- grams in the territory" the spokesman said.
 At present there is no back log of freight on the Seward dock. The addition of a half dozen diesel engines, and other rolling stock, during the winter assures railroad shippers of speedy service in the spring and summer months.
 While figures are incomplete for March. indications are that another sizeable shipping month IS in the making, according to the railroad

Sterling hiway Closed For Spring Thaw

Highway patrolman George Puckett announced March 23 that the Road Commission has closed the Kenai road from Hentons Lodge to kenai and Homer to all traffic between the hours of 1000 am. until 12 midnight.
 Travelling through the day time hours causes great damage to a new road during the spring breakup. Anyone found using this road will be arrested. Kasilof-Homer
 The uncompleted section of the Sterling Highway between Kasilof and Homer is in very bad condition owing to the spring thaw. MT. Puckett warns all residents that only trucks and jeeps can get through, and that in no case should a passen- ger car attempt the road without the assistance of a truck or jeep. Danger to the undercarriage of an automobile is definite cer- tainty.
 A public announcement will be made when the road again becomes passable, and the open ing of the Henton-Kenai section will also be announced. Until that time there will be no travel over this highway under pain of arrest.
