a. p. Smith. member of the ler,s-
lature from Baker county, has an
nounced that he will make an effort
to repeal the Eddy corporation tax
law. at the coming session of the leg
isiature. In an interview with the
Blue Mountain American, Mr.. Smith
says:
MY principal work at the coming
session of the legislature shall be to
have the Eddy law repealed. failing in
this l shall try to have It amended so
ms to exclude mining corporations"
said a. p. Smith, representatives, elect
to representative of the American
during his visit here this week.
Continuing, Mr.. Smith said: 1.-TWO
years experience with the law has
proven II a failure and during this
time the mineral industry of the state
has suffered untold injury. II Ore
gon alone possessed mineral resources
II might be possible to tax capital and
make II pay tribute for the privilege of
developing its resources, but where
natural that capital will go where it
does mot have to take the state on
its payroll.
During the coming year the Lewis
and Clark fair will be held, the main
cntect of which Gas l understand III
is To exhibit the wonderful resources
of the state and invite capital for
their development, Surely the legis-
lators of this state must see the incon-
sistency of extending this invitation
and expecting capital to be taxed for
it's cooperation in making Oregon one
Of the greatest states i'm the Union.
While other industries have also
from the law, mining has suf-
fered the most and the state to a large
extent has suffered by the incorpora-
lion of companies in other states and
'ransacting business just the same.
1T is claimed by the west side Iegis-
ators that the law has been benefi-
'ial. but from my own experiences l
know 1t has been Injurious and the
mining industry will suffer as long as
[ is enforced and hope to be success I
'ul in its repeal"
When asked II he had any other
bills pertaining to the mining indus
ry he would introduce. Mr.. Smith .
tated that he had enrolled one rela-

MRS. C. BoIES ELY DEAD.
A Woman of Interesting Personality
Who Had Met Famous Men.

dispatch from New York last night
SAYS: Caroline Boies Ely. widow OF Col.
George B. Ely. died at the residence of her
daughters, the Misses Ely, on Riverside
drive. yesterday, at the age of seventy
nine years. She was woman OF interest
ing personality, and her vigorous mind and
remarkable memory made her reminis-
cences of the last sixty years exceedingly
interesting She remembered Jackson.
Clay, Calhoun and Van Buren,, and on her
sick bed In June when too i'll to attend the
quarter millennial celebration in her old
home in Northampton, Mass, she wrote
"reminiscences of Choate and Webster and
of receptions given in their honor in 1S47.
In the thirties she went to Cincinnati to
visit an uncle in the Lane Theological
Seminary, where she met the Beechers and
Mrs. Stowe, and had interesting stories IL
Illustrating their characteristic traits. She
went out by stage coach on the famous old
post road on the line of which the Balu-
more and Ohio railroad was afterward
built and remembered the coaches stopping
so that passengers could visit the scene or
Braddock's defeat. When the news OF the
firing on Fort Sumter came her husband
was arguing a case in the court mouse az
Madison Wis. The lawyers there present
pledged themselves to raise and officer a
regiment Mr. Ely's commission as cap
tain was dated April IL, 1861, two days
after Iincoln's call to arms, and his regi-
ment was a part OF the famous Iron Bril-
gade that suffered so severely in the second
battle of Bull Run. Mrs. Ely entertained
afterward in her house In Washington the
fourteen men left unwounded and able
bodied of her husbands company. Like
other warm-hearted women, she visited the
wounded in the Washington hospitals, and
in late life had a store of pathetic stories
of homesick, wounded and dying boys in
blue. and of Stanton Chase and Lincoln.
At the outbreak of the Spanish war she
wrote an article protesting against II and
recalling the horrors of the war she had
lived through. She also wrote upon the
frisrs' land controversy In the Philippines,
in which she was keenly interested. and
when she was taken Ill in June she had
just finished wide range of reading pre-
paratory to a pro-Russian article on the
present war.
