WILL BRING GAMES TO NEVADA
Lake TahOe's Monte Carlo Will Cross
the California Line.

1t is said that next year the manage.
ment of Tallac, the fashionable resort
on the California side of Lake Tahoe,
will not attempt to run the gambling
games at the Casino as it did this
season. because the exposures made
Tallac unpopular with many people.
The resort will not be without games,
however. for piece of land few
miles from Tallac, just across the lake
in Nevada, has been purchased. 1t is
planned 10 build new Monte Carlo on
this Nevada land, where the games can
flourish without molestation, as Nevada
is wide.open State. A new boat is
being built i'll the East for the resort,
which will make quick trips from
Tallac to the gambling house. The
distancs from Tallac to the site of the
proposed Monte Carlo is about eight
miles by water.

Democrats who hold policies in the
New York Life Insurance Company
were deeply Interested in the testimony
of George W. Perkins. First Vice Presi-
dent of the company. to the effect that
they had indirectly contributed to the
Republican campaign fund in 1896. 1900
and 1904. The amount paid over to the
Republican National Committee was
about $4S, 900 in each instance. Thus
money supp led, in part at least, by
Democrats. was used to bring about the
defeat of the Democratic nominee for
the highest office in the gift of the
people. In explanation of his remark
able action, Mr.. Perkins said on the
stand, referring to a contribution of
$4S, 702 in 1904:
"This payment was made after very
careful deliberations. 1t must not be
considered an ordinary contribution to
the Campaign fund. 1t was paid be-
cause we felt that the assets of the New
York Life Insurance Company would
be jeopardized by Democratic sue
cess"
We, says the Salt Lake Herald, agree
with Mr.. Perkins that this "'must not
be considered an ordinary contribution
to the campaign fund" 1t is a most
extraordinary contribution. Indeed,
we cannot consider it otherwise than as
a distinctly criminal contribution. Mr..
Perkins had no more right to give the
money of the New York Life policy
holders to a campaign committee than
he had to give it to himself. 1t was
not his own money that he gave away.
and if there is any justice in New York
law he will be indicted on his own con.
fessiou for misappropriating a trust
fund.
The fact that he gave it to the Re-
publican Committee is entirely irrele.
want and immaterial. His offense
would have been just as grave if he had
given it to the Democratic, the Populist
or the Socialiss Committee. The cold
truth is that he had no right to give it
TO any committee whatever, and the
very least thing he and his associates
can do is to return the money, with
interest. TO the treasury of the New
York Life Insurance Company.
A more unwarranted, highhanded
proceeding was never engaged in by a
supposedly reputable judiciary agent.
The assets of the company were con.
tributed alike by Republicans aud
Democrats, Populists and Socialists.
1t was not for Mr.. Perkins to say that
those assets would be "jeopardized" by
the success of any party. The policy.
holders were not asked for an expression
of their views. Their money was taken
from them without any warrant what
ever. And Mr.. Perkins should be re-
quired to make it good.

SUBJECT TO THE SPECIAL TAX
Takes Swipe at Patent Medicines
Containing "Red-Eye."

The Comm ssioner of Internal Reve.
nue. at Washington, ID. O., has reversed
a ruling of his department made many
years ago aud now decides that the
manufacturers of patent medicines com.
posed largely of distilled liquors must
take out licenses as rectifiers and liquor
dealers aud that druggists and others
handling them will have to pay the
usual re tail liquor dealers license.
The Commissioner has instructed the
Revenue Collectors to impose the spe-
cial tax on m ,nufacturers of every COM
pound composed of distilled spirits.
even though drugs have been declared
to have been added hereto, "when their
presence is not dlscoverable by chemi-
cal analysis or it is founi that the
quantity of drug i'll the preparation is
so small as 10 hive no appreciable effect

The same ruling applies to every al
coholic compound labeled as remedy

to distilled spirits only substances or
ingredients which, however. large their
quantity, are not of a character to i'm
part any medicinal qualities to the COM
pound. The ruling will go into effect

TO KILL OFF RANGE PESTS
Young Coyotes Inoculated With

The first experiment in ridding Mon
tina ranges of coyotes by means of an
infection will be made in Teton and

recrion the experiments are being made.

pose of making an experiment in killing
coyotes and wolves on the ranges by
inoculatiDg them with the mango.
Several months ago DIR. Knowles Sc.
cured seven young coyotes. During
their confinement two died. but the
others are husky. They have all been
inoculated with mango, the two that
have been sent to Teton and Chouteau
Counties showing the disease in pro-
nounced form.
Two or three that are still in confine-
ment show the disease in a marked way.
but the third. while inoculated, appear.
to be immune SO far. Under the law
the animals are to be turned loose in
different parts of the State.
"The matter is an experiment., says
DIR. Knowles. "and / have hope it will
prove successful one. My only fear
is that the infected coyotes turn out
may get hold of poison before they get
the chance to spread the disease.
Il have been feeding them meat and
they will not be so sharp about letting
poisoned meat on the range alone as are
the wild ones. Still, 1 have hope, as
this is the breeding season, that my
diseased animals will get around some
before they meet death by the poison
route. If they live four weeks they
will spread the disease"

A gasoline Atlantic cruiser Is COM

feet long and with $40 horse power
develops speed of 90 miles per hour.
There are three screws. of which the
two outer are actuated by gas engines
of $50 horse power each and drive
the boat at the maximum speed. The
central screw is operated by an en-
CINE of 40 horse power and is used
mainly for cruising at low speeds.
though 1t may also be used as an aux
Hilary to the others when the maxi
mum power is required. This central
screw also is much used in maneuver-
ing the boat. Accommodations arc
provided for six passengers and a
crew of two men. One provision of
the contract requires that the boat
shall cross the Atlantic under its own
power, which it is expected will be &C
complished in about seven days. Fuel
accommodation is provided. for ra-
