Tax-hungry Congressmen are now eyeing the race tracks and are proposing an excise tax on the sale of pari-mutuel tickets, a withholding tax on winnings and even a $150 head tax on each of the 22,554 participating nags. This seems a fair enough pro- posal, especially in view of the excise taxes on transportation and telegrams and a great many kinds of merchandise that are not al- ways luxury items.

Alaska’s first U. S. Marshal, M. |C. Hillyer, served for just over a year, back in 1884 and 1885. And the first. Marshal for the Second Division, Cornelius L. Vawter, held gthe office for only nine {months. Down in the First Div- lision, Dan A. Sutherland was | Marshal for tcn\r_ngn_t}lsmback in 1905 and” TUT0. Barr_has now pushed the rec- jord down to something like three Imonths. What integests us at the imument. however, is what becomes lof Bam's term as a Territorial Senator. He presumably resigned when he was named Marshal, but |does he now unresign and again become the Senator from the Fourth Division? The question is of no great mo- ment, of course, unless a special sion of the Legislature should be called, since the term ends with the opening of the next regular session The lower Yukon village of An- vik, after having had only two postmasters during its first 51 years as a postoffice, is now get- ting its second postmaster within three years. Anvik, which is described as having one of the prettiest sites along the lower. Yukon, is one the older settlements of that re- gion. It was “discovered” by white men in 1834 when Baron von ‘Wrangell, governor of Russian America, sent an expedition head- ed by Andrei Glazanof to explore eastward from Norton Sound.

STOPPING HERE ENROUTE KETCHIKAN Victor Fisher, of Anchorage, is in Juneau a few days enroute to Ket- chikan. Fisher is a townsite planner with | the Bureau of Land Management and will be in Ketchikan about a week on business for his agency. at Nulato, a couple “of hundred miles upriver from Anvik which became one of the regular stop- iping places for the traders. Anvik got a trading post of its own soon after the American oc- cupation. John Parrott and Com- pany of San Francisco, which soon afterward became a part of the Alaska Commercial Company, built a little river steamer and sent it north on the deck of the brig Commodore. Launched at St. Michael, she was named the Yukon ahd became the first of a number of vessels that have carricd the name on the big river. In charge of Captain Benjamin Hall and with Michael Lebarge as chief trader, she steamed upriver in July of 1869, stopping two or three times a day to take on wood. Lebarge, who had been with the Western Union Telegraph Expedi- tion in earlier years and was al- ready familiar with much of the Yukon country, established trad- ng posts at Anvik, Nulato and Fort Adams, near the mouth of the Tanaua, and teok over the Hudson’s Bay post at Fort Yukon. The next big ‘event at Anvik was in 1887 when the Episcopal Church established Christ Church Mission there. This was the first Episcopal mission in Alaska if you distipguish. between . the. Episcopal Church and the Church of Eng- land which had carried on mission work at Fort Yukon while Russid still owned Alaska. The Rev. Octavius Parker and ‘he Rev. John W. Chapman arriv- >d at Anvik on July 27, 1887, to vegin the work. Mr. Parker re- signed a couple of years later, but Mr. Chapman stayed—for some- thing more than 40 years. When the Yukon River became one of the main highways to the Klondike, a postoffice was opened at Anvik on June 12, 1897, and Mr. Chapman was named postmaster. He combined the duties of the of- fice with his missionary work for 33 years, until 1930, then turned ooth over.to his son, the Rev. Henry H. Chapman. The younger Mr. Chapman con- tinued the work at Anvik until the summer of 1948 when he moved to Sitka as rector of St. Peter's by the Sea. His place at Anvik, in both the mission and the postof- fice, was filled by the Rev. Ben- jamin Franklin Peterson. And now, so soon, Anvik is to have aother postmaster, its fourth.
