FAMOUS HARPIsT WILL BE HERE NEXT SATURDAY TO GIVE CONCERT

Next on the Alaska Music Trail concert series will be one of the worlds greatest artists who has chosen that rare instrument, the harp, as his medium for express sion.
 Nieanor Zabaleta. native of Spain and most widely recognized in France. the country of many harpists. began his career as q child prodigy. making his first public appearance at the age of nine in San Sebastian and from this early beginning, a phenom- enal position in the world of mus ic has been attained by Nicanor Iabaleta.
 Following his brilliant Paris de but, he gave many recitals in New York. Washington, Philadel- phia, Madrid. Buenos Aires. Rio de Janeiro and throughout Central America. As soloist with the maj or symphony orchestras. he has nlaved with the New York Phil armonic Symphony in Lewisohn Stadium; the Philadelphia Sym phony; the national symphony or chestras of Venezuela, Chile and other South American countries; the Philharmonic orchestras of Madrid and Mexico.
 Many composers of Europe and America have written music es- perially for the harp and dedicat- ed their works to Mr. Zabaleta. Unlike many harpists, he is not content to perform music trans posed from piano compositions, but has researched into musical libraries containing the harp com positions of the 18th century when this instrument was heard more generally at all concert events.
 The Zabaleta concert will be on Saturday, Feb. 20, in the school auditorium and the Wrangell com mittee for this closing event of the 195354 Alaska Music Trail season is composed of the Degree of Poeahontas and the Wrangell Women's Civic Club.

ANNIE K BURNS DEF PATS CREEK

The 3S-foot purse seiner Annie K, owned by Carl Johanson, ex- lploded and burned off Pats Creek Thursday morning. She was re- ported a total loss.
 Johanson and the two men with him = Eddie Casey and his bro- ther, Richard Johanson had gone ashore and had left some clothes to dry over the stove, they reported. They believe the clothes may have ignited causing the fire and explosion.
 The men had gone to Pats Creek to find a timber for "strong-baeks used in logging op- erations. Richard Johanson and Casey had gone along the beach in one direction and Carl in an other. Carl suddenly saw smoke aboard his boat and rowed out to investigate. By the time he reach ed the boat it was in flames. He attempted to fight the fire but a moment later the explosion oe- cured knocking Johanson to the deck. He escaped in his skiff suf-' fering singed eyebrows and hair and his coat was scorched.
 The men walked from Pats Creek to the Institute where they called taxi to bring them to town.
 The Annie K was the second local boat to burn in the last few weeks near here. Irish Bennett's troller burned in the harbor on Christmas morning. The Johanson boat was partly covered by insur- ance

TAX COLLECTIONS SHOW DECREASE
 OVER TERRITORY

JUNEAU - Tax collections for the Territory of Alaska amounted to s1,132,864 during the month of January, 1854, according to a report made to Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman by Tax Commissioner Karl F. Dewey.
 The total. was s216,000 below the same month in 1853, when collections were S1,348,15S. The greatest drop by source was in fisheries taxes. Cold storages and fish processors paid only $35,757 in January this year. Fish trap licenses, which last year brought $251,700 into the Territorial trea- sury during January, produced only s54,000 in revenues for the same month this year.
 Auto Fees Drop
 Automobile registration fees al- so dropped sharply during Janu- ary of this year, producing S55,- 5l3 compared with s105,S35 last year.
 Collection decreases were also shown in the school tax, down from s26.937 to $12,257; motor fuel tax down from S103,322 to $91,5S4; liquor excise tax, down from $27,449 to $17,016, and drivers licenses down from s25,- 442 to $3,399.

COMMITTEE PROBES INTO ANCHORAGE
 HOUSING DEAL

ANCHORAGE AZ In an in quiry into Alaska housing projects the Territorial Legislative Exam ing committee received teestimony of $643,S91 profit on a $36O,- 762 investment.
 The witness was Wm. Crooks of Portland, Ore. president of Anchor Homes. Inc. and Anchor Park. Inc, which built 652 housing units in the Anchorage area in the past two construction seasons.
 Crooks was on the stand for close to six hours at the close of a two-day hearing that ran over time until 9:30 p. m. Saturday.
 Crooks was grilled by Jack Will COX, the committees S100 day investigator who formerly headed the Federal Bureau of Inyestiga- tion office at Seattle.
 Crooks testified that the ven- lures he headed had an initial in- yestment of s36O,762 as of Sept. 30, 1852, and that to date the ventures had netted a profit of s643,S91.
 Land Value
 The builder was questioned at length on why the value of land was listed at $991,SO0 in the an- nual corporate statement to the Territory at the end of 1852 when only $35,000 was paid for the land which still was unimproved.
 Crooks explained that the near ly $1 million valuation was set on the assumption that the projects would be completed and the high CT figure would be the land value after improvements.
 The housing investigation drew added interest because of the re- cent disclosure that it was among the subjects in which two inves- tigators for Sen. Joseph McCar- thy's Senate Committee were in- terested in late 1853 trip to Alaska.
