WAR TAX REDUCTION
SENATOR ALDRICH'S OPINION OF
THE HOUSE BILL.
Thinks It Will Probably Pass-Mr.
Hanna Holds Different
View.

Senator Aldrich, chairman Of finance COM
mittee, is inclined to view the House war
tax reduction bill in its present form and
provisions with favor With no unfavora-
BILE turn In government receipts and pros
pect Of the appropriation bills not exceed
ing the present estimates, Senator Aldrich
sees no reason why the full amount of the
reduction proposed by the House should
not be acquiesced in by the Senate.
In this opinion several republican sem
ators of prominence share. One reason
that influences their attitude Is the desira-
biity of getting rid of the war tax ques-
ton entirely; putting an end to further i'm
portunity and worry upon that point.

A DEMONSTRATED FACT.

There is no business that
cannot be benefited by ju-
dicious advertising, and
there is none that may not
waste money by poor uee of
space or the use of poor
space.
Evening star., 1902-02-18
Senator Hanna Disagrees.

Senator Hanna does not agree with those
who hold that view. He thinks the public
needs require the maintenance of a large
surplus, and to that end the taxation should
be continued.
There will be no haste in acting upon the
war tax bin in the Senate, it is said. Sen
ator Aldrich thinks it wiser to withhold
action for the present until more definite
approximation of the appropriations and
the probable surplus can be made. The
reductions would not take effect until July
/, and within the next sixty days the pros
poets for the succeeding fiscal year can
better be estimated.

Revival Down on the Illinois River

For twenty years ghosts of canal
boats haunted the banks of the Illinois
river along more than 200 miles of its
course. The old Illinois and NIichi-
gan canal was n veritable cemetery.
for craft of this description and giant
skeletons were strewn all along its
coy walls. Grass grew on the tow
path and the sound of the horn for
the opening of locks and bridges van
ished from the valley. Now a change
has come upon the scene. At the foot
of Main street, in Peoria. are a dozen
barges of the old-time design. but
bearing evidence of careful cooper
ing, while ever and anon fiotilla of
new creations constitute an ample
tow. The river is waking to a new life
and the ghosts and skeletons of two
or three years ago have been effectu-
ally laid or have been given some
show of resurrection. The Hudnuts
of Pe<in are doing great work in re-
storing the river to its Importance
as a freight highway. and having ac'
quired number of elevators up and
down the stream are building a new
one at Spring Bay. which, years ago.
was one of the most important of riv-
er ports.
More money was spent for the i'm.
provement of its harbor than at any
other place along the river. 1t had
long pier. and excellent dock and was
an important grain entreport in a
territory with a radius of forty miles.
Then it sank into partial decay, but
is now being restored to something
of its former activity. The time is
not far distant When the old wooden
canal boats, with their high heads
and sternposts, their eapaciOus rud
ders and general picturesque appear
ance will have vanished to give place
to the steel barge, which will be the
river cargo boat of the future. AL
ready these craft are in business on
the lower river and the canal at the
upper end, and it will not be many
years before they will become active
factors in the transportation affairs
of the port of Peoria

Naughty Mescalero Indians.

A dispatch from A~lamogordo, to the
Denver News, says:
The proclamation of President Roose-
welt setting aside a vast forest reserve
of about $4,000 acres of timber land
came as a distinct surprise to the peo-
pie of New Mexico. This vast tract,
which will be known as Lincoln forest
reserve, joins the Mescalero Apache
reservation on the north and east, and
lies about o%ne-fourth in Otero county
and the remainder in Lincoln county.
1t is well timbered and covered with
grass. During the past several years
considerable effort has been put forth
to set aside for homestead entry and
mining locations portions of the great
Mescalero Apache Indian reservation,
containing 4S0, 900 acres, over which
the small remnant of a once blood
thirsty tribe now wander. The Mes
caleros are a pastoral and agricul-
tural tribe, but have no earthly use
for such a vast tract. But since the
president has seen fit to set aside a
vast tract adjoining this reservation it
is considered futile to try and get any
of the Mescalero reservation opened
for settlers.

SHOOTING.
A Deputy's Bullet Strikes a Railroad
Machinist.

Mike Corrigan, a macLinist in the
logging camp at T~oboggan. was shot
through the lungs Sunday afternoon by
a deputy sheriff named Poe in a bar
room near the Cloudcroft reservation.
A brakeman on the logging railroad
named King with some of his friends
made a trough house" in the saloon
and Poe tried to put them under ar
rest. King turned on Poe, threw him
to the ground, and was beating him up
pretty badly when the deputy sheriff
pulled his gun. A ball grazed Kings
forehead cutting the brim of his cap
and Corrigan, who was an innocent by
stander, was pierced through the lungs
by another shot. Corrigan was taken
to Cloudcroft and the doctors say that
though badly wounded there is SOM
hope of his recovery.
Poe proceeded Immediately to Ala
mogordo and gave himself up.
He is now in Jail awaiting the result
of Corrigan's injuries.
He made the ride from Cloudcroft to
Alamogordo in forty-five minutes.
