The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-10-31

There has been discovered in China
a curious picture, evidently of, great
antiquity, which is supposed to repre-
sent Noah's Ark resting on the top
of Mount Ararat. AS is well known,
the religious literature of almost
every nation and race contains an &C.
count of a deluge, and a Chinese man
uscript recently unearthed follows
very closely the story recorded in the
Bible.

An old oma died in a squalid at

deceased had hidden $1,000 in gold,
as well as title deeds which were
worth G400 a year.

The History Of Hunting.

The recent newly awakened interest
in the life and times of King Alfred,
due to the celebration of the thous-
andth anniversary of his death and the
placing of a statue at his birthplace,
has resulted in some interesting infor-
nation on the evolution of the sports
man. One may see, by reviewing the
customs and conditions of Alfred's
time, how it was that hunting came
to be regarded as the nOblest OF all
amusements. 1t was absolutely neces'
sary to the safety and welfare Of the
people that the wolves, bears, wild
bears, and other dangerous animals
which then roamed over England,
should be exterminated; and, of
course, the King and his knights, as
the bravest and best armed of the
fighting population, were setting a
good example and doing good service
ia their hunting parties These con-
ditions continued for some hundreds
of years and the nobility of the sport
of hunting became firmly established
and hedged about with many tradi-
tions as to the proper method of kill
ing the game. The persistence of ira
ditions in England is proverbial; and
hence, after the whole country became
as safe as barnyard, people continued
to suppose that there was something
essentially courageous and fine in
deer-stalking and grouse shooting.
The question now confronted by the
intelligent American citizen is this !:
whether it is necessary for a new
country to take over the ideas and
conventions OF its parent on this sub.
ject. Are We to consider a man .
sportsman because he kills rabbits and
pigeons, as his father killed bears and
panthers? Is tho man who takes his
sport with rod and gun any more
manly or brave than the one who arms
himself with camera or micro
scope? The Englishman would prob
ably say yes, because lie was brought
up to believe 80.
The fact seems to be, however, that
mere ability to 60 popping about with
a gun does not constitute sportsman
ship. The old time huntsman, en-
countering stag at bay with the
primitive weapons of his day certainly
did need to be brave; his modern pro.
totype, armed with repeating rifle,
is generally sale; the animal is the
one who needs courage. The idea
that there is some peculiar manliness
in shooting harmless animals il, let US
hope, vanishing illusion.

UNEQUAL TAXATION.
The Sage Of yeIm Again Hits the Nail on the
Head.

The Sage OF felm Again Hits the Nail on the
Head.
YELM, WASH, Nov. 10, 1901.
ED. STANDARD:
1t is encouraging to note the fact
that there is at last one honest Re-
publican official in Thurston county.
There may be more, but this much 1
know. When the demands OF the
corporation bosses become so mani
testify unjust and their refusal to pay
even a moiety of their share of the
taxes becomes SO glaring as to merit
the disapproval of Republican of.
fetal, its about time for the people to
investigate the schemes by which they
are plundered. 1t is evident that if
certain class evade their taxes, the
burden falls more heavily on those
who pay, so that honesty is made the
scape-gOat of dishonesty. When Mr..
Funk refused to sign the 60 per cent.
compromise Of the Commissioners with
the N. P. he raised himself at least 40
per cent. in my estimation, and l al
ways did have pretty good opinion
OF him. There is no more reason why
the Commissioners should compro-
mise with the Northern Pacific than
that they should compromise with any
individual in the county, and yet, if a
private citizen should 60 before the
board and ask for 40 per cent. reduc.
ton, or any other, they'd laugh at
him. 1t strikes me that it is about
time this bulldozing was stopped and
the corporations made to pay their
full share of the county's expense.
They never have done it, and they
never will, until the Commissioners
eat little lime and iron to stiffen
their vertebr@. l may be laboring
under a delusion, but / can't under
stand why they haven't as much right
to attach the property OF corporation
for non-payment OF taxes as they have
to attach the property of an individ-
ual. They certainly can't claim I'M
just taxation, for their property is not
assessed at more than one-seventh of
its value, while the basis of taxable
values is about GO per cent. There
isn't q corporation in the State that
pays anything like tax on fair val
uation of their holdings. Let me cite
you an instance: In King county,
one of the richest counties in the
State, the national banks recently re-
ported to the Comptroller about $l0,-
100000 of deposites, but the Assessors
report shows only beggarly 81 600 40
the grand total of assessable deposites.
l might give you dozens of similar in.
stances, but space forbids. The fact
is, our present system of taxation is q
complete farce. II every one paid
taxes in proportion to the benefits he
receives from the government, our
taxes would be nominal, but do theyf
Not on your life. Don't you think it's
about time to try the single tax?
There would be no way of evading
that, and the landlord couldn't mo-
nopolize the earth, which all must ad-
nit is the storehouse of Nature.

Probable Effect Of the Schley Inquiry

1t is hardly probable that Secretary
Long will retain his place in the cabi-
net after the Schley verdict is rem
dered. Sufficient is known to the
public, from the developments made
by the late court of inquiry, to show
that there was conspiracy that could
not have existed without his knowl-
edge and consent, to humiliate and
despoil Of his well-earned honors, one
of the foremost officers OF the navy.
Had it not been that he was, at least,
a willing witness OF the Infamous plot
OF his subordinates, for discrediting the
work OF the actual commandant when
Cervera's fleet was destroyed, his at
tempt to force on the Board OF In
quiry, in Admiral Howison, a man
known to be not only unfriendly to
Schley, but who had expressed his hos.
tility on several occasions and with
such emphasis as to provoke protest
from impartial witnesses of the breach
of good manners and gentle-breeding.
Mr.. Long cannot shirk the RESPONSE
bility, or excuse it by the pretense that
details of office management are en-
trusted to subordinates. The high
rank of the officer assailed and his
brilliant achievements, as we'll as the
unusual and unexpected churlishness
of one whose superiority consisted in
his being in nominal command, but
who was ten miles away with his PROV
turned frem the scene OF one of the
most decisive naval battles ever fought,
just when he was needed, if ever,
were matters Of too much moment and
were too generally discussed to have
escaped the attention of tho august
Secretary of the Navy. The promo
ton of Crowinshield, to get rid OF him
in the naval Office, was a cowardly way
OF meeting an issue forced by popular
sentiment. If he was one of the con.
spirators, as seems to have been ad.
mitted by his transfer to command of
q foreign station, he should have been
punished instead of being rewarded for
his turpitude. The removal of Assist.
ant Secretary Hackett will not satisfy
the clamor, and one thing seems sure,
and that is that none of the naval
clique will find much comfort in the
attitude Of the President in this mat
ter.

ments of the Court Of Inquiry, and

Austin Again Abuses Poetic License

While it is astounding that the Poet
Laureate of England can palm off any
old thing in the form of rhyme on the
English nobility and still hold down
his job, one would naturally suppose
that his onslaughts on the Kings Eng
lish would be considered little less
than high treason, even when consid-
cred in the light of the immunity
very generally accorded so poets.
He was lately prompted to write
doubtless by the divine afflatus) in
commemoration of the Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall and York's visit
to Canada. Mr.. Austin wrote a dozen
stanzas Of drivel, among which appears
this:
You went and came as swallows homeward
Now it hath winged its way to winters green,
But never swallow or wandering sea bird saw
What you have seen.
The idea, doubtless suggested by
Abt's " When the Swallows Homeward
Fly" is we'll enough, even if prigged,
but to make nit" singular, agree with
" swallows" plural, should set Johnny
Bulls teeth on edge, and impel him to
"swat" Gas Oily would say that pre-
sumptuous rhymer who seems so de-
termined upon earning his salary.
