PALMER RESERVOIR NEARING COMPLETION

Contractors at the Palmer reser- voir started final testing on the second water tank November 19, Ray Mathews, APW engineer an- nounced today. Water was pump ed from the north tank that had been tested November 14 into the south tank. No repairs were found necessary following the north tank test and contractors, North ern Construction Co.,, anticipate no trouble from the second one.
 The 60 foot by 281a foot tanks are II feet deep at the equipment gallery and tapering down to eight feet in the far end. These inside measurements are cased by 12 inch walls, ceiling and floor. Averaging no gallons of water a minute from the six inch well, pumping to fill the north tank .tarted at 10 pm. November 13 and was completed at 4:30 pm. November IA, Mathews said.
 Contractors are expected to fin fsh their work within a short time, Mathews said. When final tests are completed on the tanks, the water will be entirely pumped out and the tanks, piping and wells will be sterilized with a consen- trated chlorine solution before be- ing put in use.
 A 15- KVA generator will be in- stalled in the plant for emergency use in the event of power failure. The water chlorinator will be set between the north and south tanks with water line running di- rectly from the pump through the clorinator, into the tanks and then out into the IA inch supply lines. The large supply line was so con- Structed as to handle capacity fire hydrant requirements, Math- ews explained.
 The Palmer deep-well water system is being watched with in- terest by several other cities whose water supply is problemati- cal, Mathews said. When the con- tractor has completed his work, it is expected extensive studies and tests will be made. There is no danger of a lack of water, Mathews emphasized. This is the first time in Alaska that two deep

SCHOOL TAX DUE BEFORE DEC. 1

U. S. Commissioner Dorothy B. Saxton, this week issued a reminder that the Territorial school tax must be paid before December 1. The tax is payable after the first of January in each year. If payment is not made prior to the first of December a penalty of $2.5O attaches and both the tax of $500 and the penalty are collectible.
 All male and female persons over 21 and under 55 years of age must pay the school tax; a female person who is unemploy- ed and who depends for her sup port entirely on her husband is not required to pay the tax; per sons in the active military or naval service of the United States, paupers, insane persons and those cared for by the Territory or who are permanently injured, infirm, maimed or crippled so as to be disabled from earning a liveli- hood are also exempt.
 The tax is payable by non-resi- dents as well as residents. If the nonresident comes to the Terri tory for the purpose of engaging in bushes or employment and actually does so, though not a resident, he or she becomes liable for the payment of the tax.
 The tax is collected to assist in the education of the children of the Territory of Alaska. Any who have not yet paid their 1852 school tax should make payment to Mrs. Saxton before December 1. 1852.

Up to now, cortisone which is valuable in many diseases in ad- dition to arthritis, has had to be made by about 20 very complex ::teps from scarce OK bile acid.

'DF. Ferris Moore
 To Head New Project

The resignation of Ferris Moore as president of the University of Alaska has brought to light an unprecedented project to which Dr. Moore plans to devote him. self.
 It will be the establishment of an observatory near the summit of Mt. Wrange1l in the Wrangell Range. Primary purpose of the laboratory will be cosrnic ray re- search, but other observations are likely to follow.
 Mt. Wrangell was selected for
 irious reasons. One, its summit has the proper altitude for the cosmic ray research (14,000 feet) and at the same time it's altitude is not so great as to precede req sonable living conditions which would be difficult at the top of Mt Mckinley and several other high peaks in the territory.
 No danger is anticipated in re- gard to volcanic activities. The volcanic vent, near the northwest end will furnish heat and greatly contribute to the ease and com fort of the personnel situated there. Wrangells flat top makes it an excellent landing place for planes on skis.
 The observatory project will be chiefly financed by the Officer of Naval Research and New York University, with the University of Alaska also aiding. Construction is planned to start early next sea- son. Materials will probably be dropped by U. S. Air Force planes.
 Dr. Moore's resignation is ef- fective July l. He will retain a professorial status with the Uni versity of Alaska. He has climbed 20,300 foot Mt. Mckinley and sev- eral high peaks in the Himalayas and flies his own plane.

NO LONG HOLIDAYS IN FEDERAL JOBS THIS CHRISTMAS

There wll be no Hong week ends" for government employees this Christmas and New Year. This decision, made in Washing ton, D. C., resulted from a situa- tion in which overtime pay would be required for the makeup days. Numerous Federal employees in Juneau are affected by the order, and one of them Walter Pinkus of the Alaska Road Commission, found this explanation in a Wash ington newspaper:
 Last year Christmas (and New Year) fell on Tuesday. Mon day also was taken off, providing a four-day holiday. Saturday of the same week was work day in exchange for Monday.
 This year the holidays fall on Thursday. Friday would be the key day in a long holiday. But Che makeup day would have to be worked in another week, bring ing that week to six days and re- sulting in overtime pay.

HYDRO-PLANT TUNNEL OPENED IN CQRDOXA

Five Cordovians recently spent a good part of Sunday digging out the entrance to an old tun- nel started several years ago in that city.
 The tunnel was started by an engineer by the name of Ohman and was driven an estimated 100 to 120 feet into the face of a hill which is believed to have been a rock side moved into place by a glacier. It nearly blocks the end of the canyon and the water trav- cling around the hill forms a large waterfall known as Ohman Falls.
 It is the hope of the Bureau of Reclamation that the creek can be diverted through a pipe and the flow used to run a hydro-electric plant which will supply an econ omical supply of electricity for the Cordova area.
