TAOS, N. M., UP> — Octaviano
Lucero, who drives the one taxi
in this art colony town, is receiv
ing reams of mail from cab driv
ers throughout the country and
he doesn’t like it.
Lucero was the subject of an
Associated Press story some time
ago. It told of his easy-going life
and his enjoyments in running er
rands for people and taking them
on odd little trips in the area.
The letters from cabbies across
the country say the taxi drivers
are thinking of coming to Taos
because it sounds like quite a life.
Lucero has requested the paper
which originally printed the story
to insert the following: “Defi
nitely no — Do not come to Taos.
Business is very bad, weather is
terrible, people are ill-tempered,
■women are homelier than sin, tips
are nil, bars close early, hack li
censes are hard and expensive
to come by, mountains and hills
eat up gas and oil, dogs are un
friendly, and anyway, Taos is
considering seceding from the
union.”
He suggests trying Hawaii or
Alaska instead, and hastens to ex
plain to the Chamber of Com
merce that “sometimes one must
enlarge slightly to make a point
— if one is to eat.”

October 18 Proclaimed as
Alaska Day by Gov. Egan
JUNEAU — Governor William i
Egan has proclaimed October 18
as Alaska Day, to mark the 92nd
aniversary of the formal transfer
of Alaska from Russia to the
United States.
“This will be the first time that
the occasion will be observed with
Alaska an equal partner in the
Union of States,” the Governor i
noted, “thereby adding to the
historical significance of the
occasion.
“Inasmuch as Alaska Day falls
on a Sundy this year, the Gover
nor’s proclamation also desig
nated Monday, October 19, as a
legal holiday. This is in keeping
with legislative action designating
Monday as a holiday in such
cases.
Governor Egan plans to spend
Alaska Day in Sitka, where the
formal transfer took place in 1867.

Bounty Claims Are Again
A Problem to Legislators
JUNEAU — The 1960 Legisla
ture will be called on again to
make a deficiency appropriation
for the payment of bounty claims.
The perennial problem is as
sured on the basis of unpaid claims
already on file with state agencies
here.
C. L. Anderson, Commissioner
of Fish and Game, says hair seal
bounty claims for kills made be
fore July 1 of this year amount
to $11,295, and additional claims
have been filed by hunters for
kills of wolves, coyotes and wol
verines.
The 1959 Legislature appro
priated $65,000 for hair seal boun
ty pa^Tnents for the current fiscal
year, and another $60,000 for
bounty payments op other pre
dators.
However, an Attorney General’s
opinion has held the new funds
cannot be used to pay claims for
kills before last July. It will take
a special appropriation to take
care of those, the opinion said.
The first State Legislature
earlier this year made deficiency
appropriations of more than $3,000
to cover previous unpaid claims,
but the funds were not sufficient
to take care of later kills.
