TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every par
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
net blacken the teeth, cause head

the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprises before my daugh-

How Ghe New Corporation Tax Law
Works.

The result of the operation of the corpora
ton tax law passed at the last session of the
Legislature proves somewhat disappointing
The law wen, into effect on the first of Janu-
airy last, and the limit of time for the pay
ment of the first semi-annual taxes assessed
by the law expired August 3lst. The law
provides for tax of five per cent on the gross
earnings of each railroad per mile, when such
earnings exceed four thousand dollars per
mile four per cent on less than four thous
and and more than three thousand, three per
cent on less than three thousand and more
than two thousand and two per cent on two
thousand or less. All insurance companies
doing business in this State are taxed two
per cent on the gross amount of premiums
and assessments collected in their business in
Vermont and every life insurance company
incorporated by this State is additionally taxed
one-half of one per cent on all surplus over
and above the necessary reserve computed at
four per cent on all existing policies Savings
banks and savings institutions a re taxed one
half of one per cent upon the average amount
of their deposits and accommodations and
trust companies and savings banks are taxed
one per cent on the average amount of their
deposits. Express, telegraph and telephone
companies are taxed three per cent on the
gross receipts of their business transacted
in this State and finally, steamboat, car and
transportation companies are taxed two per
cent on their gross receipts. All these taxes
are payable semi-annually, in February and
August except the tax on insurance eompa-
MES, which is payable annually in February
The execution of the law is confded to the
Commissioner of State taxes and failure on
the part of the corporations 10 make their re.
turns to him or to pay the taxes assessed upon
them is punishable By a fine of one hundred
dollars for each days delay. Governor Bar
stow appointed as such commissioner Hon.
w. P. Dillingham; Of Waterbury, and the ap-
pointment was universally recognized as an
excellent one In case the amount realized
from this source prove insufficient for the
payment OF State expenses, per capita tax is
to be levied on the people of the State Some
of the corporations whose taxes were due in
August have not complied with the law, and
the whole amount realized is only SG4, 7O2. o.;
on which basis the tax for the entire year
would yield only ABOUT 1929, 900, instead Of
$3.50, 600 as estimated by the Legislative com
mittee, of which Col. George W. Hooker was
chairman. The law imposes a penalty Of
500 per day on corporations failing to make
returns to the Commissioner Of State taxes
within the time required by the act Nearly
all of the corporations making returns filed
protests against the payment OF the taxes as
IA =.
tons failing to make any return as required

How the Northern Pacific was Com
pleted.

nleNeu
We are indebted to Mr.. Eben +. Wells Of
the engineers corps of the Northern Pacific
railroad, for copy Of the Muscular, mis-.
soula, Montana telling how the two ends of
that great enterprise were tied together" on
Wednesday, 22d ult.
"She was tied together last Wednesday at
fifteen minutes past two. On Tuesday night
there was vacancy Of little over nine
miles leaving four and half miles for each
force Of workmeu to finish. A red flag was
placed at the halfway point on the gap, and
each force Of workmeu determined to be
there first, if such thing lay in their power.
At an early hour they were al work aud the
force from the western end had completed
two miles before eight o'clock At l. 30 they
reached the goal, at Independence Greek,
and after laying about POO feet beyond their
stint, they ceased work and waited for the
boys from the other way The eastern end
arrived at 2.1j and the last rail was laid and
the last spike driven amid the waving OF
handkerchiefs from the ladies, and vociferous
cheering from the 800 or more men present
to see the completion. Among the guests on
hand to enjoy the final triumph was Major
Maginnls, and IN response to an invitation he
came forward and delivered short but elo.
quent address, saying that Just twenty wears
ago that day, representatives OF the Northern
Pacific had met to compare notes in a cabin
on Gold creek, but few miles from the spot
where the final triumph was now being cele-
brated. He dwelt at some length upon the
benefits which the road would confer upon
Montana, and eulogized the engineers and
contractors who had so willingly and efficient
ly pushed the work to the final completion OF
to-day, connecting both eastern and western
Montana with the civilization of the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts He was enthusiastically
cheered at the close OF his remarks. A large
number of visitors from Helena Deer Lodge.
Pioneer and Missoula were present, aud
shook hands in joyous greeting over the hap
py event The Deer Lodge and Pioneer PEG
pie generally came IN carriages, and their
dashing turn-outs, fitting hither and thither
over the freshly mOwn green sward, added
much TO the gaiety Of the scene.
