The military governor assures the

DOUBLE TUT
IN THE FUST
The income tax assessment, which
in the two previous years that it
has been in force has carried a rate
of one per cent, has been raised this
year to double that rate, or two per
cent. This, of course, means that
the total amount of taxes on incomes
paid by the people of this district
will be double that of the former
years.
This rate only applies on incomes
of from $3,000 to $20,000. Incomes
of over that amount up to $40,000
are subject to an additional tax of
one per cent on the amount in ex
cess of $20,000. On incomes of over
$40,000 the assessment rate increases
in proportion to the above.
Reports must be made by every
one whose income exceeds $3,000 per
year, but only unmarried men are
liable to pay on an income of $3,000,
married men having an exemption up
to $4,000, but their report must be
made if they possess a $3,000 income.
The tax is due on January 1, and
must be sent to David J. Williams,
collector, at Tacoma, Wash., as there
is no one authorized to receive this
tax in Alaska.
DAN DRISCOLL AND WIFE
TAKE UP HOME IN OREGON
FAIRBANKS.—Dan Driscoll, one
of the most widely known oldtimers
of the district, yesterday disposed of
his establishment, the Tanana bakery,
and real estate in connection with it,
to Otto Lieman and E. C. Clausen.
The new proprietors are well known
in Fairbanks, Mr. Lieman having
been baker for Mr. Driscoll for several
years. Mr. Clausen is also an experi
enced man in the restaurant and bak
ery business.
While the deal has been made, Mr.
Driscoll will remain in charge of
the business until after the opening
of navigation, when he and Mrs.
Driscoll will leave for Oregon, where
they own a fine farm, and expect
to make their future home. Mr.
Driscoll has been in Fairbanks since
the early days and has always been
prominent in all the affairs of the
town, and a member of the Alaska
legislature for one term.
COL. SQUIER IS PROMOTED.
VALDEZ—Advices received today
by Capt. Robert M. Nolan, officer in
charge of this division of the Alaska
military cable and telegraph system,
states that Brigadier General George
P. Scriven, chief signal officer of the
U. S. army, has been retired, after a
service of 42 years in the army, at
the age of 63 years, the order effect
ing the retirement becoming effective
today. He is succeeded by Col. Geo.
0. Squier, the ranking colonel of the
signal corps. While holding the rank
of captain he commanded the cable
ship Burnside when that vessel laid
the Philippine cable, in 1900 to 1902.
He was appointed military attache at
the United States embassy at London
in 1912, from which place he was re
cently recalled. Col. Squier is of a
very inventive turn of mind, and has
devoted much time to electrical re
search. He is now engaged in perfect
ing an apparatus permitting the use
of the Morse code and sound instru
ments on cable lines instead of the
present tape recording instruments.

CLAIMS ALASKA WILL BE
A GREAT OIL PRODUCER
WASHINGTON — “Nobody has
thought of Alaska as a producer of
oil, yet the time will come, in my
opinion, when Alaska will be supply
ing a large part of the'oil used in this
country,” remarked James Larkin, a
mining man of Valdez, who is here.
“In the popular mind Alaska is a
gold country first, and after that
fisheries, but coal, oil and agricul
ture will become important industries
in Alaska before many years, not to
speak of copper, which has already
gone ahead of gold in the value of
production. Alaska produces a finer
grade of anthracite coal than any part
of this country, not excepting Penn
sylvania, and the quality of its crude
petroleum is better than any on the
continent, I believe. When oil was
selling in California two or three years
ago for 30 cents a barrel, the Alaska
oil was bringing $2.60. It is the fin
est grade of parafine base oil, and
some of the crude oil is almost pure
gasoline. For lubricant it is perhaps
superior to any produced in the world.
“The agricultural possibilities of
Alaska are unlimited. It is not too
cold to raise almost any sort of crop
in the growing season. As fine a
quality of wheat as I ever saw has
been grown there. Fruits of all kinds
flourish. I do not think I ever tasted
finer strawberries than those raised in
Alaska. The most delicate flowers
will grow and all sorts of vegetables
thrive.
“Prohibition, which was carried in
the recent election, I believe will
prove a good thing for the territory.
I am opposed to prohibition on gen
eral principles, but in Alaska under
present conditions of labor I think
it will materially improve the situa
tion. Labor is scarce enough and we
can ill afford to lose any part of it at
any time."
PEARY WOULD SEIZE
VAST POLAR LANDS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.—
The attention of government officials
has been called to a recent suggestion
by Rear Admiral Peary that the
United States should send an expe
dition into the Antarctic for the pur
pose of acquiring large areas of un
charted lands south of Cape Horn. It
is understood several departments of
the government are giving the sug
gestion their earnest consideration.
“Send the Roosevelt II. to the Ant
arctic,” Peary said, “and those
thousands of miles of frozen waste
may bring forth untold wealth.”
Peary said he would not attempt
the expedititon himself, but he recom
mended thaat Capt. Bartlett, his lieu
tenant on the history-making dash
into the Arctic, be placed in command
of the government’s polar exploration
ship for charting and seizing in the
name of the United States the vast
stretches of no-man’s land under the
south polar icecap.
