GENERAL INTEREST
WASHINGTON, 0. C
: (By E. L. Bartlett)
| WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20. —
j It is not likely that owners of min
' i ing claims will have to perform
I assessment work this year. The
I Senate passed the Borah bill pro
i viding for a moratorium and the
House Committee on Mines sub
sequently voted to report the bill
favorably. Decision was made only
after spirited debate on whether
the Hayden proviso to the Borah
bill would be included. This pro
! viso makes it mandatory that
claimants who paid income taxes
for the year 1932 shall not be ex
empted from performance of as
sessment work for the year begin
ning July 1, 1932. and ending July
J 1, 1933. Representative from min
ing states sought to have this pro
viso seems to be rather vague in
that it says, “That the provisions
of this Act shall not apply in the
case of any claimant not entitled
of this exemption from the pay
I ment of a federal ncome tax for!
the taxable year 1932 ” The point \
was naturally brought up that con
fusion migh result where two per
sons owned a claim and one paid
an income tax and one did not.
The committee finally decided to
report the entire bill without a
mendment of any sort. A vote
by the House is expected in a brief
time.
* * * o
“Artie Village” is the literary I
sensation of the day. Written by
Robert Marshall as a result of a 15
months’ stay in the Koyukuk, it |
is hailed by critics as an out-1
standing contribution to the soci
ological literature of America. Of
course everyone in the Koyukuk
knows the author and many other
Alaskans will remember him. A
forester by training he first went
to the Arctic to study tree growth
and returned to study people. His
second trip to Wiseman was made
in 1930 and he remained until the
fall of 1931, weaving what promises
to be the best seller out of his ob
servations of the small group of
residents of that isolated camp.
His book is entirely sympathetic
and he describes the Koyukukers
as the happiest people he has ever
known. Marshall served in the U.
S. Forest Service and then took his
Ph. D. degree in plant physiology
at John Hopkins. He has pre
viously written for scientific pub
lications but this is his first pop
ular work.

Herald learned exclusively last
night.
“The contract was negotiated
by Frank T. Bell, newly appointed
Commissioner of Fisheries. The
contract, with the Fouke Fur Com
pany, of St. Louis, guarantees the
