of salmon and for not opening the heart walls of its trap located in 

 Prince of Wales Passage on Sunday, August 15, 1920, on which 

 indictments were returned at the Valdez term of the district court 

 in October, 1920, were again continued with the consent of the 

 bureau's representative and probably will be brought to trial at the 

 February, 1923, term of court at Valdez. 



TERRITORIAL LICENSE TAX. 



Fisheries license taxes were collected by the Territory under the 

 revenue laws of Alaska as revised in 1921. A statement from 

 the treasurer, under date of May 9, 1923, gives the collections made 

 to that date for the fiscal year 1922. It was stated that only a 

 comparatively small amount remained uncollected on that date. 

 The total for the calendar j-ear is apparently about $134,000 greater 

 than in the preceding year.

It is of interest to compare the Alaska territorial revenue from 

 all sources with that derived from the fishery industry. The fol- 

 lowing tabulation covering the last four years for which complete 

 returns are at present available shows that in this period the fishery 

 industry paid an annual average of 48.7 per cent of all territorial 

 revenue :
