RIVER DIVISION OF ALASKA RAIL'
ROAD ON PAYING BASIS,
DECLARES STEESE
Steamers on the river division oi
the Alaska Railroad will show a small
net operating profit for the season
when it ends this month, said Colonel
James G. Steese, head of the railroad,
who recently passed through on his
way to Seattle.
Up to the present time, said Colonel
Steese, the two steamers operated on
the Tauana and Lower Yukon Rivers
in conjunction with the railroad have
handled 3.300 tons of freight out of
Nenana. In addition they have car
ried six hundred paying passengers.
The total revenue for the season will
be approximately 560,000 which will
slightly more than cover the expenses
of operation.
The operation expenses of the rail- ■
road's hotel venture at Curr\, a new
departure for the enterprise have also
been covered by the revenues it has 1
received, said Col. Steese.
FORE
FU
FOP LIST YEAR
Alaska’s share of the receipts from i
the National Forests in the Territory j
for the fiscal year ending June 30th, |
amounted to $15,778.37. representing
25 per cent of the total receipts. A
check for the Territory’s snare has
been received at the Territorial ot
fiee of the treasurer.
This is the largest sum received j
from this source since 1920, it. was
pointed out at local Forest Service
headquarters. Last year it totaled
$11,433 and in 1921, $ll..i<>6. Indica
tions point to a heavy increase ot ie
ceipts during the present fiscal >eai
it was said. The heaviest portion of
the receipts are derived from sale,
of timber from Tongass National For
est, the Territory’s share from this
forest during the past fiscal year br
ing $13,709.60, and from the Chugach
TYirest. S2.06S.77.
Under the provisions of Federal
acts, the states’ share of National
Forest receipts are divided propor-j
tionately between the states, or the
counties in which the forests from
which sums derived are located. Dur
ing the early days of Territorial gov
ernment here a controversy arose in j
the division, and the comptroller rul-,
ed that Alaska’s proportion of re-j
ceipts from National forests here be-j
longed to the Territory as a whole.
Congress in 1908 enacted a law J
covering the devision of the receipts
which contains the following provi- j
sion:
“That hereafter 25 per centum of
all moneys received from each forest
reserve during any fiscal year, shall
be paid al the end thereof by the
Secretary of Treasury to the State or
Territory in which said reserve is
situated, to be expended as the state
or territorial legislature shall pre
scribe, for the benefit of the public
schools and public roads of the coun
ty or counties in which the forest re
serve is situated; Provided, that when
any forest reserve is in more than
any one state or territory or county
the distributive share to each from
the proceeds of said reserve shall be
- laced proportional to its area there
in.”
