i.i the collector of internal revenue
ai Tacoma. Wn., by A. F. Stowe, who
has l»ci i« out on the line collecting
tin' tax.
It is estimated that thirty persons

; ili'il 10 make returns. In his report
'o tiie collector Mr. Stowe says that
■ eat many instances entire camps

>»f tin- support of relatives in a for
• i : i country. Mr. Stowe says that
while in some cases he is conviuced
in t'n: genuineness of these exemp
tions ho has reason to believe that
ia some cases they are not lawfully
entitled. j
I'nder the law a false return con
st! lutes perjury.

The largest individual return was
c"!.93 and the lowest $1.17.
The above figures do not include
uiividual returns made without the
assistance of Mr. Stowe. and it is-be
1 i'• v. d the total income tax will quad
ruple the sum stated above.
The work of preparing income tax
numbers along with census returns
in point of volume and difficulties,
and this reason Mr. Stowe has been
compelled to make an affidavit ex
plaining to the income tax depart
ment the cause of tardiness in get
ting returns in from Alaska.
Hail Strenuous Jul).
Owing to the absence of duly ap
pointed-notaries or commissioners it
was necessary that Mr. Stowe take
the facilities for compiling returns
to those coming within income tax
provisions. This entailed traveling by
train, horse team, dog team and of
tentimes afoot to reach the various j
camps. Last year the collector of in
ternal revenue at Tacoma became
caustic in his strictures upon tardi
ness of returns, so this season Mr.
Stowe includes in his affidavit' the
following:
Mr. Stowe Explains.
" * * * The primafy reason
why the returns accompanying this
iflidavit were not sent into the office
iif collector of internal revenue at
rarcma, Wn.,.on or before the time
prescribed by law, is that the blank j
forms did not come into my posses- i
ion and I was not able to obtain J
ilie same until it was too late to ac- i
:omplish the work mapped out. In
as well attended as it should hdve
been and there was a laclt of enthusi
asm on the part of those who were
present.

the course of my labors I ran out of
blank forms on 3 different occasions
and had to return lo my oflieiul
residence and wait for an addition

On one occasion, not to be outdone
Mr. Stowe used blanks for 191S
which he discovered in a prospec
tors cabi.n
It is estimated that the commis
sion employes will average approxi
mately $30 each in income tax and
the average number employed dur
ing the year is 2.500. This
would make the income tax returns
from the commission approximately

ALASKAN IIASKUALI. PLAYER
SIGNS OV COAST LEAGl'E
Alaskans will have an opportunity
to cheer an Alaskan baseball player
during the 1921 Pacific Coast league
baseball season. Tom Granville has
been signed by tlie Seattle team as
a member of the pitching staff, and
lias reported to the California train
ing camp, at Pomona.
Tom Granville was formerly em
ployed at Thane and pictlier for
Thane and Juneau teams for two
seasons several years ago. Going
from there to Wliitehorse, he pitch
ed for that team one season while
employed in the copper mine there.
He was one of the best pitchers seen
ou Gastineau channel in years and
was almost unbeatable. He is a big j
fellow, over six feet in height and
weighing about 200 pounds.
OIMECTM TO nlllTC
AKY BEFORE DEATH
The people of Nome are up in
arms against certain newspaper
writers who have written obituary
notices of that once thriving com
munity, and have served notice that
the camp is very much alive and will
not die just to accomodate a few
newspaper men. Tlie very vigor with
which people register their kick
against these premature announce
ments of the camp's demise should
be ample evidence that much life re
mains in the northern camp. As a
matter of fact Nome has probably
decreased no more in population
than many other parts of Alaska,
and like the other towns. It expects
to increase in population under the
more favorable conditions now exist
ing. There are a great many genu
ine Pioneers in the Nome country,
men and women who will not give
up at the first slight reversr. They ;
have faith in the future of the coun
try, and this faith is justified by the ;
great resources awaiting develop-!
ment there. In the reindeer Indus- |
try alone the Nome country lias poss-1
ibilties greater than many a mining
section can show, and its needs are
far from being exhausted.—Path
