An exception Is made in tho case of those national banking assocl- ations designated as regular deposit orios in which government funds are placed strictly for use for the govern ment's own expenses. There arc out standing about S27,o0000O of govern mcnt funds on which interest must he paid by banks, and by an odd Colncid- ence, a similar amount rests in dopos- itores not subject to the tax. It was stated at the treasury department yes terday that not only would tho tax bo charged on all deposits of government money made in tho future, but that 1t would be payable on funds already de- posted in banks from tho time the new law became effective.
 The rate of interest Chargeahe Is to bo not less than 1 per cent. and as ''''ii ''''' h' 'I' N'NI'ltlN VI iIlt treasury may deem proper, For tho present however, inc probable rate of

method Of catching wolf pups In dens
and OF trapping the old ones.
Wolf killing. as Mr.. Bailey proposes
that 1t shall b. carried on in the upper
peninsula. Ia anything but dangerous
operation. All that the hunters need
do is to find the wolf dens and go In
and help themselves. They win not
find the old wolves on hand TO protect
their young. All they will find Is
litter Of from eigth to thirteen fuzzy
little pups which are incapable OF do
ing more harm than cat. Mr. Bailey
says that the unvarying rule Of the old
wolves is to make their getaway when
ever humans approach their dens's
Commonly the male wolf stands on
guard on prominent point at some
distance from the den. When hunter
approaches he bowls and tries to lead
the stranger off In pursuit Of him. His
howl also warns the mother wolf. who
sneaks away from the den as secretly
as she can
Mr.. Bailey says that this is no evid-
ence of cowardice, but of intelligence.
He gives the wolves credit for knowing
that they cannot successfully fight, but
that they may be able to conceal the
whereabouts OF their offspring. He
says that wolves do not attack men,
and in his judgement most of the
stories about persons being pursued by
packs of wolves belong to tne fiction
class
In the upper peninsula the wolves
begin to breed about April 10, and the
present plan is that the campaign will
be inaugurated at about that date. The
trapping side Of the campaign is not
so easy. Because of their great intel
ligence the old wolves tight shy OF traps,
and experienced fox trappers cannot
make the least Roadway against them.
Mr. Bailey has found peculiar scent
which attracts them. He left some
Of this in the upper peninsula last
spring, and it is said here that it was
used with some success Another re-
quisite is that exceedingly heavy traps
be used with unusually strong chains.
A wolf will chew an ordinary traI
chain until il parts. Even with the
greatest care the oldest and wisesI
wolves cannot be caught in traps. &C
cording TO the experience Of Mr..
Bailey.
The success that has followed scien
tific wolf killing in other parts of the
country is indicated by reports form

vey has worked with the forest servic,
in an effort to clear the national forests
OF timber wolves and coyotes and re-

that between 1, 400 and 1900 timber
wolves were killed last year in and
