SEATTLE—At a special meeting oi
the directors of the Alaska Steamship
company it was decided to call a meet
ing of stockholders of the company
November 16 to vote on the proposi
tion to increase the capitalization ..of
the company from $3,000,000 to $4,
500,000. The change, which is said
to be certain to go through, means the
declaration of a stock dividend of 50
per cent.
The pending action is significant, as
it makes plain, in tangible form, the
increasing business being done by
the company with Alaska and the
proportionate increase in the value of
the company itself.
The contemplated change in the cap
italization is the direct result of the
tremendous increase in the value of
'he business done by the company be
tween Seattle and Southeastern and
♦Southwestern Alaska, and also is the
Vesult of the increase in value of lilt
Company’s fleet of carriers, due to tiic
world shortage of ocean tonnage an<
profitable bottoms.
Alaska’s export business to the
United States has shown a great in
crease in value from month to month
through increased demand and highei
Cprices for metals, principally copper
,nd its food products, salmoh, halibut
cod and herring. The increase in th(
value of exports for October alone ha:
been more than $3,000,000 over the fig
ures for September, according to ;
statement issued by John F. Pugh a
Juneau, collector of customs for th<
territory of Alaska. During Octobei
Alaska sent to the United States pro
ducts valued at more than $13,000,000
1917 LICENSE FEE NOTICE.
Gentlemen:
You are hereby notified that on or
before January 1, 1917, the annual li
cense fee for the year 1917 will be due
from your company under Chapter 11,
Alaska Session Laws, 1913. The
, amount of this tax is fifteen dollars,
with a penalty of $2.50 if it is not
paid on or before .said .January .1,
1917. This tax is due from all corpor
ations doing business in Alaska, both
domestic and foreign.
' Under said act, no corporation can
maintain any action in the courts
! without proof that it has paid said li
cense fee; and provides further:
“Failure upon the part of any cor
poration to pay its annual license fee
for a period of one year from and af
ter the date when such payment first
became due, should be prima facie
evidence of the insolvency of such cor
poration, and the fact of such insolv
ency may be shown by the territory
! or by any private person or corpora
tion. * * * * It shall be the duty of
the secretary of Alaska to strike from
the records of his office the names of
all corporations which have neglected
for a period of two years to pay their
annual license fees.”
| Six months after the striking of the
corporation from the records of the
secretary’s office, or on July 1st fol
lowing, the corporation is dissolved.
Remittances should be by certified
check, cashier’s- draft or postoffice
money order. Canadian money noi
accepted.
Kindly give this matter your earl\
atention. Yours very truly,
CHARLES E. DAVIDSON,
Secretary of Alaska

(Nome Nugget)
E»ic Johnson, the well known mail
contractor, was an arrival in Nome
from the Yukon Sunday, after an ex
tended visit to the outside which in
cluded a sojourn at the Curtis school
of aviation at San Diego, Cal., where
he investigated the possibilities of
transmitting mails by aeroplane with
a view to operating an aerial mail
service in this section in the event that
satisfactory arrangements can be!
made with the government.
Mr. Johnson spent considerable j
time learning the method of handling j
the swift air machines and speaks in
interesting manner of his flights at
the Curtis school fields and also at ]
the government aviation field in the j
! same locality.
He says it is a wnoie lot uinerent
from mushing dogs as the aeroplane is
decidedly more temperamental than
are canines but he found it compara
tively easy when the idea was once
grasped. His flights were made with
an experienced aviator, although John
son frequently guided the machine
himself after he had become ac- ;
quainted with the system of control, j
He states that pupils receive their
tutelage in machines provided with a ;
double system of controls by means of i
which the instructor can rectify any
I mistakes of the student by means of
his own control thus relieving prac
tically all danger of disaster overtak- j
ing the neophyte. Mr. Johnson says
I the only time one realizes the terrific
speed of the machines is when leav
ing the ground. Once in the air all
sense of rapid motion is lost and the
| machine apears to be floating smooth
! ly along at a leisurely pace. Flying
j in a planes is hardly a novel experi
: ence any more, he avers, and all kinds
of people, both male and female, in
dulge in skitters through the air at
1 the training schools. Mr. Johnson
i mentions an old lady of 74 years who
made a flight while he was at the
Curtis school and who thoroughly en
. joyed her experience.
ivir. jonnson investigated parucu
larly the adaptability of the aeroplane
to the conditions obtaining in this
! country and announces that he is per
! fectly satisfied with the possibilities
' of transmitting the mails during the
summer season in all parts of the
country but further improvements are
essential to successful operation in
the winter. He says that the extreme
cold of this latitude makes it procai
cally impossible for a human being to
sit long in a machine without protec
! tion from the cold air.
Housing of some character, and al
so warmth, must be provided before
an aviator can make the long flights
entailed in Alaska mail transporta
tion. For a summer service Johnson
favors the hydroplane as he says that
the numerous lakes and rivers offer
ideal landing and starting places
whereas the general surface of the
I country presents poor facilities foi
starting or landing.
So well satisfied is he with the pos
sibilities in this direction that he has
already communicated with the post
office department with a view to mak
ing experimental flights with mail
during the summer season. He says,
however, that the department does
not seem disposed to take an active
j interest at present, owing, doubtless,
j to the uncertainties of the election pe
riod. Mr. Johnson looks well after his
: journey and intimates that the out
\ side agreed with him exceedingly well
—in proof of which he says that he is
30 pounds heavier than when he de
parted last spring. Throughout the
day yesterday he was exceedingly
busy shaking hands with his numerous
friends and relating his experiences in
the air.

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to re paper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
