For sev eral years past the Muries havi been living at Jackson Hole, Wyo- ming, where Mr. Murie is connect- ed with the Survey. If readers of Alaska newspapers see more news concerning the Ter- ritory from this city, is due H. ter, who came here from the Assoc- iated Press staff ad Seattle, covers capital news for the Pacific North- west and Alaska and, judging from the way he is handling the Alaska news, is going a most competent job of it. Mr. and Mrs, Harvey K. Carlisle, of Fairbanks, who are touring the States on a vacation trip, reached Washington yesterday. Mr. Carlisle |- is special agent for the office of investigations, department of In- terior. He and Mrs. Carlisle will remain here several days before | continuing their journey. Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Shonbeck of Anchorage have gone on to Ncw York City, but expect to pass through Washington again next week enroute south. U. M. (Bert) Dickey, whose as- sociation with Alaska has dated back to the early days, was a re- cent caller. Mr. Dickey was one of | the owners of the old Dominion Commercial Company, which was one of the big mercantile concerns of Fairbanks in the heyday of that company. He is still largely in- terested in the Northern Commer- cial Co. and in Alaska fisheries, and in addition is connected with dairy interests in the state of ‘Washington. Vilhjalmur Steiansson, Iamous Arctic explorer, and Delegate Di- mond had a long talk about Alaska a few days back. Mr. Stefansson, |who now makes his home in New | York City, maintains a keen inter- est. in the Territory and is always ready to afly himself with every move for its development. | Two members of the House in addition to the Delegate are en- titled to call themselves sourdoughs. They are Representative John H. ‘Hoeppel ‘of California and Repre- sentative Finley Hamilton of Ken- tucky. The former was once with the Signal Corps and at one time was ‘stationed at Sitka. His secre- taky, Tke Blade, also served with the Signal Corps in Alaska. Repre- sentative Finley Hamilton of Ken- tucky was in Nome in the days of |the gold rush. Preparing to serve his last year on the Navy boxing team, Midship- man- Henry L. Miller of Alaska, was | stricken shortly after the Ghristmas holidays with influenza phich: turned into bronchial pneu- monia; He is rapidly recovering now in the naval academy hospital at Annapolis- but his doctor 1as told him he must not box again this year.

Persons whose net income for 1933 was de- rived chiefly from salary or wages and was nof in excess of $5000 should make their returns on form 1040A, @ single sheet. P whose net income was in exc $5,000, or, regardless of amount, was derived from a business, pro- fession, rents or sale of property are required to use a larger form, 1040. Failure to use the proper form presents difficulties to both the taxpayer and the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Therefore, it is emphasized that a taxpayer en- gaged in business of profession from which he derived a net in- come of less than $5000 is re- quired to use the larger form. The return must be filed with tne collector of intermal revenue for the district in which the tax- payer has his legal residence or principal place of business on or before midnight of March 15, 1934. The tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the return or in four equal instaliments, due on or before March 15, June 15, Septem- ber 15, and December 15.

He has visited most of these districts during the past three four months and everywhere he found | signs of increasing activity. Mining, he declared, has a par- ticularly bright future. The current higher price of gold, which he be- lieves will prevail for a long time, has stimulated mining and pros- pecting. The ntire interior will Yenefit largely and in the im-| mediate future. At Healy River, where he op- erates one of the largest coal mines in the Territory, Capt. Lathrop last year produced the largest ton- nage since the mine was opened. It is furnishing all of fhe coal now used between Fairbanks and Cordova. In the latter city, Capt. Lathrop recently completed the erection of a central heating plant serving the business district. Fuel for its operation is mined at Healy. e or MR, AND MRS. H. L. STULL #ON ALASKA SOUTHBOUND ! H. L.
