PENALTY NOTICES TO BE SENT
-LAND OWNERS WHO FAILED TO REGISTER
Notices of five dollar penalties
as required by law will soon be
mailed to land owners who filed
their statement of ownership after
December 31, 1953. Land Commis
sioner W. A. Chipperfield an
nounced this week.
Chipperfield, who spent two
weeks in Juneau conferring with
members of the Governor’s office
and the Attorney General, states
that if the penalty is not paid be
fore July 1, 1954, the name of
the owner with a description of
the property will be included ip
—4he list that he must send to the
Clerk of Courts for further ac
tion on July 1. Thereafter, the
“Courts allow 60 days for the
owner to make settlement. If set
'-tlement is not made within that
■period, the foreclosure action
follows.
Although insufficient funds
■were appropriated to administer
the land registration law, Chip
perfield said he will endeavor
to give all property owners who
filed the required statement of
-ownership after December 31,
1953 ample time and instructions
for preventing any foreclosures.
He estimates that 2,000 state
ments of ownership were filed
after the required filing date ex
pired. Most of these are from the
Third Division.
Until additional funds are ap
propriated, the office of the De
partment of Lands will be un
able to compile a list of all land
whose ownership has not been
filed. However, such land is sub
ject to $5.00 penalty and lien.
Chipperfield said that it is un
likely that a clear abstract of title
or title guarantee can be given
for land in Alaska unless owner
ship statements are filed ac
cording to the law. He said that
the law may be amended or re
pealed during the next session of
the legislature, but owners who
plan to sell their land during the
-jperiod the law is in effect should
-make sure that the required
ownership statement has been fil
ed and that there are no penal
ties or liens against the land.
Chipperfield states that the
penalties should be paid through
his office, Box 368, Anchorage,
and that the notices of penalty
--due will contain instructions for
making payment. Ownership
statements should continue to be
filed in the office of the Record
er of the Precinct where the land
is located.
To many the leaps of impulse
- are considerably greater than
the bounds of reason.

Notes
By Maxylou Rideout
No doubt you thought once, like
many others, that the art of cook
ing, or the incentive for meal pre
paration would be lost if you
bought and used prepared foods,
particularly mixes. One takes
pride in building things, and one
is proud to say “yes” when asked,
“Did you make that?” But now,
with a bit of reluctance when
asked, “Did you make that cake”?
you answer, “yes”, since all you
did was to open p box, empty
contents, add an ingredient or
two, and mix. You feel all com
pliment should go to the manu
facturer. But mixes do have a
place. There are time when they
come in quite handy. As one
homemaker expressed it, “When
I see company turn in our lane,
1 have brownies in the oven by
the time they rap on the door.”
The Extension Service has a
supply of pamplets which give a
recipe for "Master Mix” for mak
ing baking powder biscuits, waf
fles, cookies, muffins, and cakes.
We also have recipes for mixes
for pudding, pie, and ginger
bread.

EXPERIMENT STATION SEEKS LEASE ON
15 - 25 ACRES
The University of Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station
will solicit bids for a 15- to 20-year rental lease on a 15- to
25- acre plot of land. This area will be used principally for
experimental work on forage and cereal crops.
A location south of Palmer is desired, but other locations
will be considered if reasonably close to Palmer and they
possess similar soil, topographic, and climatic characteristics.
Direct entrance from a road is necessary. Fields that can be
reached only through a farmstead or other difficult access
will not be considered. The field must have been cropped
for several years. It must be reasonably uniform in topo
graphy, drainage, and other soil chacteristics.
The Experiment Station will fence the plot and maintain
it in a high state of productivity. Recommended weed control
practices will be used.
An option to purchase the plot at any time during the
term of the lease period will be considered.
The Experiment Station reserves the right to reject any
or all bids.
Interested persons may obtain more information from H. J.
Hodgson at the Experiment Station office in Palmer where
bid forms and specifications may be obtained. Bids
wilt be accepted up to April 15, ISM.
