OXEN REPLACE
HORSES IN THE
CASSIAR FIELD
OXEN IN CASSIAR USED FOR
FREIGHTING PURPOSES, SAID
BELONG WEST ALASKA.
Among the interesting things not
ed in the Cassiar district by Bruno
Agostliuo, who has just returned from
a six months’ stay in the district,
passing thru Seward the other day
on his way to Anchorage, was that
of two oxen which a'*e being used in
the district for freighting and pack
ing in supplies.
Owing to the large areas of swam
py ground, it is almost impossible,
in certain localities, for horses to
accomplish much work. Owing to
the split hoof on the ox, it appears
they are able to extract, their feet
from the marshy, land, with much
greater ease than a horse. In haul
ing in supplies, a small cart with
one shaft is attached to the oxen but
in the extremely bad places, these
ar? discarded and pack saddles put
on the c>en.
Four I eo-1 head of horses were rent
.ntc the aetne of the reput 1 gold
st'nke, early this month, 0/ the Hud
son Bay company and also a trac
tor. This company conducts four
stores or trading posts in the dis
trict, according to Mr. Agostino.
There were a number of Alaskans
from this district on Telegraph creek,
whom Mr. Agostino met, but the
most of them he did not recall by
name aside from J. J. Griffith, a
former Nevada mining man, who has
made his home along the railroad
belt for the last year; George Wil
lis, a chef who has been employed
in Seward restaurants and W. A.
Taylor, a resident of Anchorage.
(Mr. Agostino departed for Anch
orage yesterday morning and ex
pects to take over the Premier coal
mine on Moose creek. He is the
leasee of the property, sub-leasing it
to the present company, prior to
his departure for the Cassiar region,
more than six months ago.
| 12 PER CENT TAX
CUT IS POSSIBLE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22.—
(JP)—Unofficial statements by treas
ury officials indicate that a 12 per
cent reduction in income taxes may
be possible as the next step in lift
ing the federal tax burden.
This figure, while calculated with
out intention to commit Secretary
Mellon to any policy, was suggested
on the basis of an incomplete analy
sis of returns on income taxes,
under the present law as shown in
the March or first quarterly install
ment. It would bear out previous
statements that another two hundred ;
million dollar total reduction could
be made effective on taxes paid in ;
1926.
Present indications are that the
treasury will avoid making any def
inite proposal to the next congress,
when it is expected the tax question
again will be alive. While Mr. Mel
lon has made no direct statement
on the subject, most of his advisers
favor keeping the treasury out of
the fight; they are urging that the
treasury inform congress of the
state of the finances and point out
what is possible, thus leaving the
whole question of rates for the con
gressional leaders to decide.
The first indication that another
cut in income taxes was possible,
was given when the March install
ment exceeded the treasury’s esti
mate, made last summer, by about
eight million dollars. Further evi
dence that total revenue receipts will
be larger than originally calculated
is given also in receipts from im
port tariffs which just now are
about $5,000,000 above the amount
collected up to the same date in 1924.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Daris and
Harry Davis were northbound pas
seners on yesterday’s train. Harry
Davis is a brother to W. H., and
has been in Seward for some time.
They will reside in Nenana during
the summer.
The residence of P. M. Ogle is re
ceiving a handsome stucco exterior
by the firm of Gerhart Johnson, who
are making a fine looking job of it.
According to statistics, short skirts
have caused a decrease in the number
of accidents. Staticians did not say,
however, how many trees and tele',
phone posts have been damaged by
careless walking of men.
