SITUATION ELSEWHERE CHICAGO, 1, Jan. 28.—Flood waters are reeeding in northern Mississippi, where 20 persons are reported to have lost their lives, but a new peril of floods ap- paeared, however, in the East and southern Mississippi zones as the water continued to spread and placing new towns in danger.

Mrs. Alexander will resume her vocal classes in Juneau upon her return in a month or six weeks. brook Return from Ex- tended Trip in States Wellman Holbrook, Assistant Re- gional Forester, and Mrs. Holbrook returned to Juneau on the Yukon after an extended absence in the States. Mr. Holbrook left here early in December to attend the Region- al Planning Conference held in Se- attle for several days, ending De- cember 14, and later joined Mrs. Holbrook in Minnesota for month’s leave during which they made an enjoyable motor trip through the Mississippi, Southern and Western States. Mrs. Holbrook preceded her husband south by |about a month The meeting ¢ the Planning Commission was tremendously in- teresting and open meetings held on the various divisions were at- tended by more than eight hun- dred people, according to Mr. Hol- brook. Matters taken up by the Commission come under nine di- visions, L Resources, Mineral Resources, Water Resources, Indus- try and Commerce, Economic, Transportation, Community and City, Education, Welfare and Co- lumbia Basin. Representatives at- tended from Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. “While all of the meetings were interesting, my time was mostly spent at the sessions on the sub- ject of Land Resources. Among five main projects which are now under consideration, is the taking up of submarginal land and reestablish- ing residents on other lands more suitable to cultivation,” Mr. Hol- brook said On December 15, following the last session of the Conference, Mr. Holbrook left by plane for Minne- apolis but due to stormy weather was forced to make the last part of the trip by train.

Wat- son, and others on the Governor's office staff, has been made neces- sary in order to make room for the "additional help required by FERA and PWA work. Mr. Watson, secretary to Gov. Troy, has moved into a smaller private office adjoining the Gov- ernor’s office, where Miss Lucille | Fox also has a’ desk, while the large room, formerly occupied by Mr. Watson now has desks for Miss Gladys Forrest, Deputy FERA Administrator, Miss Jane Alex- ander, and Robert Rice. The new arrangement relieves the congestion which existed in the various rooms of the suite, following the large amount of additional work due to FERA and PWA. MANY HUNTIN | | | | UNTING TRIPS PLANNED TO ALASKA DURING NEXT YEAR Interest, far greater than |is usual, is being shown in big game hunting trips in Alaska this win- ter, judging from correspondence which has been received by the Alaska Game Commission discuss- ing proposed trips, according to Frank Dufresne, Assistant Execu- ‘ive Officer of the commission. Among those who are definitely planning hunting trips next spring is Coloman Jonas, of Jonas Broth- ers, Denver, Colorado, one of the best known taxidermist firms in the country, Mr. Dufresne said. Mr. Jonas wrote that his party would include eight or nine alto- gether. Another party, which is planning on a hunt on Kodiak Island and the Alaska Peninsula, is to be headed by James S. Simp- son, former Chairman of the Wyoming Game Commission. If the party is successful, Mr. Simpson, who is now operating a dude ranch in Wyoming, expects to transfer to his letter to Mr Many other | Dufresne. of inquiry and others telling of proposed hunts, either this spring or next fall, have been received by the Game Commission in recent weeks, Mr. Dufresne said. - INFORMATION ON FORMER RESIDENT OF YAKIMA ASKED A call for the whereabouts or any information goncerning Max Wallace, 21, and a former resident. of Yakima, Wash., was asked here today by City Clerk A. W. Hen- ning. | Henning reported that Wallace's ‘ father, Cadman Wallace of Yaki- | ma, had written his office request- posals Offered in Senate by President Hess (Continued from Page One) ing tangible personal property at retail. Under the first the tax| would be paid by the wholesaler | with the retailer entitled to a deduction when turning i his gross sales report. Fish Trap Bill Another measure for a tax on fish traps was placed in the Sen- ate hopper by M. E. S. Brunelle. It provides for a tax of three dol-| lars per 1,000 fish on red, cohos,! pink and chum salmon caught in amounts from 50,000 to 100,000; seven dollars on quantities of 100 000 to 200,000; $12.50, on 200,000 to | 250,000; $30, 250,000 to 300,000, and $50 a thousand on quantities, over 300,000. On red, king and sockeye almon caught in trap, seine or net he tax would be $40 per thousand: on 50,000 to 75,000 and a graduated scale up to $300,000. Over that amount the tax would be $110 per | 1,000. “Catching fish under the present| trap system is detrimental to the enormous but fast depleting wealth of our resources,” Brunelle said in explaining his bill, “and it is only fair that until the present system | were present—that there actually | was an acute need for drugs and | medicine. Hoonah and other Indian | villages that are now fighting in- | fluenza epidemics have depleted ;lhe local supply of drugs, it was | said. | No Authority ‘ Gov. Troy satd that he had no | authority to place Federal Emerg- {ency Relief Administration workers | on the dock for longshore activities. | The Chief Executive explained that lit would not be a “public works | project.” However, he offered the protec- | tion of the United States Marshal’s | office in the event that union men | break the strike with merchants or free-lance workers. Acting Mayor ! Wallis George also offered the, services of the Juneau Police De- partment. ‘ The work this afternoon started | in orderly fashion. The dock was ! roped off. Meat was the first com- | modity to be unloaded. About 20| strikers watched the merchants| from beyond the ropes. There was | no violence or any attempt at in-| terference as the work started. Report Denied ’ In discussions early yesterday | morning, the longshoremen spokes- | man said that the local chapter of | is outlawed that the Territory| should receive some financial re- ward for this loss. Latest available figures from the United States De—i partment of Commerce, Bureau of Fisheries, show a decrease in ,selne' caught fish in the last ten years, ending 1932, of 83 per cent and an increase of trap caught fish in the same ,period of 14.3 per cent.” Drunken Driving Measure Two measures were introduzed in, the Senate by Henry Roden. One, is aimed at reckless and drunken driving. Penalty for reckless d:iv-! ing is fixed at from $25 to $500 fine and from five days to six| menths in the Federal jail. Penalty for drunken driving has the same fine range with jail sentence run- | ning to nine months, depending on the number of offenses. The pro-' posal carries an emergency clause to take effect immediately after passage. A law revision bill also was brought in by Mr. Roden which would define the amount of widow's | dower and amend the present statute. ———.— VISIT IN CALIFORNIA After an absence of six weeks, most of which was spent in Santa Barbara, California, Dr. and Mrs. H.
