SIGNALS CALL PLANE
TO 1 SICK IN
Signal fires which were observed
recently at the point, across Knik
Arm from Anchorage, were an
swered by Pilot S. E. Robbins, of the
Alaskan Airways. He found a mes
senger there from Susitna station,
requesting aid for Jim Austin, and
he proceeded to that point as fast
as the plane could take him. Aus
tin, who was found to be very ill,
was loaded aboard the plane at Su
sitna station and brought to the!
Anchorage hospital.
When the signal fires were ob
served, the street lights of Anchor
age were turned off and on as a
means of letting it be known that
the signals had been seen. It was
not possible to send a boat across \
the arm because of ice conditions
and it was too dark for a plane to
make the flight. j

SHOW GREAT DEGREASE
SINGE MKT CRASH
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14,
(JP)—There are 23,496 fewer mil
lionaires in the United States now
than there were before the stock
market crash, according to the In
ternal Revenue Bureau’s statistics
on incomes for 1930, which paint
the telling picture of the effect of
depression.
Defining the millionaire as a
person with not less than $1,000,000
worth of property, from which in
come is $50,000 or more, statistics
show there were 43,184 millionaires
in 1928 when the boom was at its
height.
The stock market decline of 1929
left 38,650 millionaires, but in 1930,
the number shrunk to 19,688. Sim
ilarly the number of persons en
joying a $1,000,000 income per year,
decreased from 511 in 1928 to 149 in
1930.
^Another interesting fact dis
closed by the Revenue Bureau’s
figures were that two married wo
men and six men with incomes of
more than $5,000,000 per year, paid
more taxes than 2,613,165 persons
who earned less than $5,000 per
year. The names of these eight per
sons were not made known, how
ever.
It was also shown that New York
State in 1929 had 276 persons re
porting incomes of $1,000,000 or
more which was a larger number
than all other States combined.
COATES PROMOTED
William L. Coates, Juneau agent J
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, i
which operates the Princess steam- |
ers between Vancouver, B. C., and i
Skagway, has been promoted to i
the agency of the company at
Prince Rupert, B. C., one of the
most important of all of the com
pany’s agencies, says the Juneau
Empire.
CAMPS ARE ALRIGHT
Mining camps of the Willow
Creek district, concerning which
some anxiety was felt because of
the heavy snow-slides reported
from that locality, apparently were
not in the path of the moving snow,
according to Pilot Joe Crosson,
chief of operations of the Alaskan
Airways, who made a flight to the
Interior, with a detour over the
mining belt to make a general sur
vey of conditions there, says the
Anchorage Times.
Now is the time to Iook over old
packs and have new bottoms put
on for winter.
