IcHIPpERFTELD COMPLYING WITH LAND LAW BUT
 SAYS IT MAY BE CHANGED

Notices of So penalties as re- quired by law will soon be mailed to land owners who filed their statement of ownership after Dec embcr 31. 1858. Land Commission CT W. A. Chipperfield. who has spent the past two weeks in Jun eau conferring with members of the Governors office and the Att torney General, states that if the penalty is not paid before July l., 1851 the name of the owner with description of the property will De included in the list that he must send to the Clerk of the Courts for further action on July l. Therea- after. the Courts allow 50 days for the owner to make settlement. If settlement is not made within that period. the foreclosure action fol- lows.
 Ghipperfield said that although insufficient funds were appropriat- ed to administer the land registra- ton law, he will endeayor to give all property owners who filed the required statement of ownership after December 31, 1853, ample time and instructions for preventing any foreclosures. He estimates that 2,0O0 statements of ownership were filled after the required filing date expired. Most of these are from the Third Division
 Until additional funds are appro- priated. the office of the Depart ment of Lands will be unable tc
 compile a list of all land whose ownership has not been filed. How ever. such land is subject to the S5 penalty and lien. Chipperfield said that it is unlikely that clear ab-
 straet of title or title guarantee
 can be given for land in Alaska unless ownership statements are filed according to law. He said that the law may be amended or repeal ed during the next session of tht . legislature, but owners who plan ! to sell their land during the per iod the law is in effect should
 make sure that the required owner. ship statement has been filed and , that there are no penalties or lien: against the land.
 Chipperfield states thht the pen alties should be paid through hi. office, Box 3S6, Anchorage, Alaska and that the notices of penalty dut will contain instructions for mak, ing payment. Ownership statement: should continue to be filed in the
 office of the Recorder of the pre-
 cinct where the land is located

Dear Friends:
We left Topeka early Saturday
morning, hating to leave our good
neighbors once again. At Clay Cen
ter, Kansas, we had some car
trouble and looked in our AAA
book for a garage nearby and saw
Skinner Chevrolet Co. recommend
ed. The owner had son in the
I Air Force and in the Army and
was very. very friendly to us and
our two little girls. Courtesy is
greatly appreciated by travellers
and especially appreciated by serv-
ice people who are away from
home so much of the time. Two
mechanics worked on our car and
one had been stationed in Aber-
deem, Md, last war and the other
at New Castle Air Base, so we felt
quite at home in this garage.
We went through Western Kan
sas right during harvest time and
Hayes and l regretted we hadn't
counted the wheat combines; IT
was way up in the hundreds. There
are regular teams that go through
the state combining the farmers
crop. We saw as many as six in a
field at once. At a service station
the attendant remarked on the
heat and we told him it was much
too hot. We were not the least bit
surprised when he said it was 1OS
degrees and that it had been that
temperature for the past three days.
which was very good for the wheat
harvesting. He said it was a very
good year for the farmers and that
they were getting $4,000 per acre
for their wheat this summer. The
fields were certainly gorgeous.
AS soon as we crossed the line
into Colorado we ran INTO a rain
storm, which was badly needed in
this section of the country KANSAS
has had a lot Of rain lately and
their streams are no longer drv
beds of dust). We weren't too sure
just what kind of storm we were
running into since the west can
nave some wicked ones. In the
fields We could notice little swirls
OF dust rising high in the air and
we were rather relieved when we
ran out of the storm.
