Nellie Revell, Nations Most Famous Invalid
 Passed Away Tuesday

NEW YORK, tR - Nellie Re veil, noted newspaper woman, author, and theatrical press agent who once was termed the nations most famous invalid, is dead at 85.
 Miss Revell died Tuesday at a hospital. Final rites will be held at Springfield, H., where she had her first newspaper job on the old Illinois Republican, edited and published by her father.
 In the early 192O's she was hospitalized with severe spinal illness. Bedridden for several years in St. Vincent's Hospital here, she wrote two books: Right off the chest" and Fight in Through"
 When she emerged from the hospital, confined to a wheel chair, about 1,2O0 celebrities gave her a comingNout party.
 Miss Revell was one of the first women to cover a prize fight. Jim Corbett objected to her plan to attend his fight with Bob Fitzsimmons.
 Miss Revell told Corbett: "If I don't come neither will Fitz- simmons. I don't think he has to, anyway. He could lick you by mail"
 Corbett, amused, invited her to the fight. Fitzsimmons won.
 In 1850, while recuperating from a cataract operation on her left eye, she was asked when she planned to have the same operation on her right eye.
 She replied Soon as my left eye heals up. I can't run out of eyes, honey. They've operated on me for everything except dandruff."

Vic Rivers Says No Tax Increases
 Appear Necessary

JUNEAU, - No tax increases for Alashans appear necessary for the support of a state govern ment, it was reported Thurs day by Territorial Senate Presi- dent Victor Rivers, Democratic candidate for governor of the new state of Alaska.
 Rivers conferred in the Juneau office of tax commissioner Robert Stevenson, and said the financial position of the territory is far ahead of estimate of spending made by the last legislature. The territorial fund is in good shape and under the present rate of income the new state will not be forced to carry any additional burdens"

Seattle Firm Buys Old Alaska Ferry

JUNEAU, R IT The Chilkoot, the old Southeastern Alaska auto- mobile ferry, is to be sold to Arctic Terminal, Inc, Seattle, for $37, 500.
 The Seattle firms offer was $6,840 higher than the next best bid for the converted wartime landing ship.
 Six bids were received for the old ferry, which was replaced on the Juneau-Haines Lynn Canal run last year by the new Chilkat.
 The sale was approved by the Alaska Department of Highways, which operates the 65-mile ferry run between the capitol and the Haines link to the Alaska High way.

232 Candidates
 Seek 6 Positions In State Govt

A total of s232 candidates, seek ing nomination to 65 positions in the new Alaska state government, will be on the ballots when Alas kans vote Aug. 26 in the first state primary.
 r Fourteen of the political hope fuls are bidding for places on the Nov. 25 general election ballot for state and national offices. Five of them will be elected-to fill two US. Senate seats, one in the US. House, the governors office and the position of secre- tary of state.
 There are 154 candidates in the field for 40 seats open in the first state House of Representa- lives. There are GA candidates seeking nomination to the fall election for 20 places in the first state Senate.
 One Republican already is virtually assured of election to the state Senate. He is John Coghill of Nenana, who is with out opposition from either his own or the Democratic party in Yukon-Kuskokwim Senate dis trict.
 Only the unlikely possibility that an independent candidate might enter the race and defeat him in the general election stands in Coghill's way to a two- year term in the first state Sen ate.
 In addition, the Republicans all so seem assured of winning the four-year state Senate seat from the Bristol Bay-Bethel District. And the Democrats apparently have sewed up the two-year state Senate term from the Southeastern at Large District.
 Three Republicans are the only candidates filed in the Bristol Bay-Bethel Senate District. They are Richard Jensen, King Salmon; Harry Shawback, Naknek, and Jack E. Weise, Bethel. Two Democrats - James Nolan of Wrangell and George Laiblin- are the only candidates for the Southeastern District two-year
 Also without opposition of any kind in the primary are two Re publican candidates for House seats-Denton R. Moore of Kok- honak Bay from the Bristol Bay District, and James Hoffman, Bethel, from the Bethel District.
 Two Democrats also appear as- sured of election in the House without opposition. They are Charles J. Franz, Port Moller, for the Aleutian Island District, and John Nusunginya, Barrow, for the Barrow District.
 Only on the Democratic side and then only three races-are there contests for nomination on the state and national level. Three Democrats are seeking nomination for governor, and two each seek the nomination as Democratic choice for the US. House and as secretary of state. Fine Job Prinfincr Al The Nu0uef.

|BLM Moves To Add Nine Additional
 Tracts To. Alaska Recreation Areas

Financed by a $100,000 yearly appropriation, development work is limited largely to the installa- ton of sanitation facilities, and the provision of water and camp ing sites.
 Purpose of the program in part is to provide recreational areas where picnickers and, campers will concentrate, thereby easing the problems of roadside clutter and fire protection. Areas selected for inclusion for the most part are those in which the public has tended to gather, for recreational purposes.
 F A Bureau spokesman said it is planned eventually to turn the areas over. to the, new State for maintenance and inclusion in it's recreational system.
 The nine areas now in the pro- cess of being set aside:
 Grizzly Lake, southeast shore, 25 acres; Crosswind Lake,. north- ern outlet. 5 acres; Crosswind Lake, northeast side, near Small Beaver Dam, 5 acres; Crosswind Lake, eastern peninsula, 30 acres; Cobb Lake,. northwest Smaller Jack Lake, between north shore and Nabesna Road, 15s acres; Ta- nada Lake, east side, acres; Ta- nada- Lake, along east side Ta- nada Creek, 40 acres.

Pesky Boxelder Bugs
Are Harmless Nuisance

These bugs feed on decaying or
ganic matter - such things as
compost, rotten wood, and leaf
mold. They do not bite or sting
people.
After millipedes get inside
houses, insecticides are of little
value, DR.. Buckley says. 1t is
better to apply the insecticides
outdoors before the bugs enter.
The new granulated insecti-
cides are more effective against
millipedes. The granular mate
rials can be broadcast by hand
or they can be applied with a
small fertilizer spreader, if the
ground can be cleared of debris.
One pound of 10 percent granu-
lated chlordane; 10 percent toXa.
phene or 5 percent dield in
should be applied to eacn COO

sects can be had from University
