^Biis provision is most drastic, pro
l^Bjling the territory from imposing
aH license fee or tax upon the busi
ness or upon the property, real or per
sHal used in the fishing business, and
rBuking all acts passed by territorial
Iwslaturcs previously.
Hhe license fee provided is, for each |
owning, mild curing, salting, smoking,
freezing, whaling or other fish
•filing establishment, $5 per year.
IV1 each pound net $50, for each fish
'■■eel $25, except small wheels on the

$ 10; .100 foot beach seine, $2.00; for
111 additional 5flo feet, $5.00; each

d fish or sip'll fish, $1.00.
'he tax on output is red salmon,
Bnts per case; medium red salmon,

ts per ton; salt eod, 50 rents per
; pickled lierring, 10 cents per bar
rel; salt herring, 25 cents per ton;
all other fish products, 25 cents per
ton.
The money thus collec ted is to be
distributed as follows: Two-thirds of
the tax to go to the territory in the
manndr provided by the act creating
the Alaskan fund, except that such
fees collected within incorporated
towns are to be turned over to the
towns. The other one-third to be
placed in an Alaska fisheries fund and
held subject to appropriation by con
gress for development, preservation,
conservation and administration of
Alaska fisheries and the maintenance
of hatcheries.
Congressman Alexander, who intro
duced the bill, is from Missouri, and
has probably merely acted on request
of the secretary of commerce, the bill
coinciding with claims made by that
official.

There Is as much difference In Ranges as there Is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can't judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to understand why one is cheap at the
price, and another is dear at any p rice. See the MAJESTIC display
