A SHOCKING WAY TO
Catch brook trout
BOISE, Ida., (/P)—Several scores
I of trout were knocked out with
1 electricity in Richfield Canal re
cently but it was all for their own
good.
James C. Simpson, state fish cul
i turist, said that many trout had
: wandered into the canal from 1
I Wood river and were in danger of
being stranded there when it be
came neces-ary to lower water lev
; els.
So crews using electrical shock
i ing machines, powered by port
able generators, worked in the pot
holes where rocks and snags made
seining impossible. The current
stunned the fish so they floated to
the top, but most of them were re
ported to have come to with no
apparent ill effects when placed in
other water.
Some 300 fish ranging from one
to eight pounds were captured.

Alaska Leads In
Profits Tax Rise j
—
Alaska led the entire nation in
the increase in excess profits taxes|
paid to the federal government in (
fiscal 1948 over the previous year,
according to information received !
by the Alaska Development Board
from the treasury department n i
Washington.
Although the excels profits ax
rat§ was reduced very substantial
ly by the 80th Congress, Alaska;
showed an increase in collections 1
of miscellaneous internal revenue 1
including excess profits taxes. The
total of such collections in the
Terri.ory in 1948 was $1,837,669.-;
66. This represented an 8.1% in- i
crease over the previous year.
Only three states showed an in
crease in this class of taxes. They
were South Dakota, Iowa and
Michigan, and in none of them
was the increase nearly so great ■
percentagewise as it was in Alas
ka. For the nation as a whole col- !
lec.ions in this category declined
26.1% in fiscal 1948 from the 1947
total.
Federal corporation taxes paid
in Alaska in 1948 increased 65.6%
over the previous year. Individual
income taxes increased 4.8%. Em
ployment taxes to the federal gov
ernment were up 42.7%. Total in
Fleet To Train
In Caribbean
WASHINGTON, <4>l—Tht *at
tieship Missouri heads an -rnpres
sive fleet that will put to sea next
January on a Caribbean training
cruise.
Two carriers, four cruisers;
eight destroyers and four mine
layers will complete the flotilla.
This will be the first assign
ment for the 45,000-ton batt.ewag
nn since Prsei'dent Truman last
week vigorously denied reports
hat the navy was sending her to
join the “mothball” fleet.
The navy announced yesterday
it is taking 5,160 reservists trom
the eastern half of the United
States on three cruises to the
Caribbean, the bulk of them in the
Missouri group. The cruises are
all oil two-weeks duration .
ternal revenue collections snowed
an increase of 19.3%. In every one
of these classifications the increase
in Alaska was far above tr ? na
tional average.
The large increase in federal
tax payments by Alaskans no the
face of lower tax rates is inter
preted by the Alaska Development
Board as evidence of a substantial
increase in the volume of industri
al, commercial and business activ
ity in the Territory.
