The divorce machine in the city and

releasing three young couples from the
bonds OF matrimonial infelicity.
Earl w. Hentz was freed from Meta

To do the hon-s in sharing his happy
home with him, so lie claimed. They were
married on Nov. ?. 1907, in Salt Lake and
Mr.. HentZ went to Kimberly soon after
in search OF labor. AS the mines closed
down there when he made his appearance.
he passed on TO Richfield and landed
employment. He sent money to Meta to
join him, but Meta accepted the coin
and spurned his invitation, consequently
they agreed to disagree.

departing for parts unknown. They were
married in Evanston. Wyo in 1902 and
Mr.. Granville left her in 1904 to seek

Lena f. Swick in Lockport. Pa. told the
old. old tale of finding his home locked
up ukht one day and he was not able 10
get in or find the hot, steaming meal

work. His wife had made her exit and
he says that she has since been among
the missing. They have lived in Salt

The CovingtOn tie is made from the fol-

lime, which makes them indestructibie-
Part of the stalks are made into a pulp
which makes the wall. or casing, of the

The Covington tie is made in steel

draulic pressure into a solid block and
can be hewn and chopped the same as

which are used in the construction of the
tie are either burned or plowed under

ORPORATION TAX
CASE SUBMITTED
Action to Test Constitutionality
of Law Argued in Su-
preme Court.

The case Of the Black Mining & MILL
ing company against c. s. Tingey, secre-
tary of state, was argued and submitted
in the supreme court yesterday. Ii in
wolves the constitutionality Of the cor
poration tax law.
The Black Rock company sued. on
Sept. a. 1887, TO recover So. as annual tax
on the corporation. The contention of the
company is that the state cannot levy
a tax on the capital stock. but only upon
its assessed valuation. maintaining that
all property shall be taxed in proportion
to its material value.
The state, on the other hand, claims
that all property. credits. bonds, stocks,
franchises and the like subject to private
ownership are included as taxable prop
erty. and that there is nothing in the con-
stitutiOn which can be construed to pre-
vent the legislature from levying a stamp
tax based on income, franchises and kim
dred assets.

by railroad builders and thousands Of
dollars have been furnished them in their

ties of rather difficult technical process all the
naivete and sweetness OF the South in its most
spontaneous mood The development of engrav
ing alone makes long story but M. Hind has
traversed it, and has done justice to the sister
art Of etching, with clearness and with first rate
system.
His boob is fairly exhaustive. In an ntroduc-
tory chapter a full account is given Of processes
and materials. Following the main narrative. in
which the subject is brought down to the present
time. are some useful appendices These en-
brace a classified list Of engravers. good bib
biography. and an index Of engravers with in
dividual photographers. There are more than
hundred Illustrations. and while these have not
always been chosen with tho best possible judy
rnent they are at least reproduced in clear half

handicap II weighs four pounds, To read it
without q desk is obviously next TO Impossible.
The use of a heavy calendered paper was doubt
less dictated by the authors desire 10 give his
t7aIftones their full value. but this difficulty
might have been got over by the simple process
of printing each Illustration on a separate Leaf.

to grow shrill over the date of the first engrav
ing. Very judicious. too is Mr. Kinds survey
Of the earliest masters among them those mys-
FERROUS craftsmen who are known only by
initial some symbol He appraises their
merits with adequacy; he does not lose his head
over them
Neither, for that matter, does he depart from
a tone of dispassionate scholarship when lie
comes to treat OF the true heroes of his tale,
Italians like Poauolo and Mantegna, n Ger
man like Durer. or DuIchmen like Rembrandt
and Lucas van Leyden. His accounts of these
artists are models of lucidity and balance.
Where he is weak in his treatment of individ
uals is in his notes the men who rank just
below the highest or those who are of distinctly
minor significance. 1t is true that he has to be
brief in this part Of his work. but brevity would
still have permitted more vivid touches of char
acterization than appear to be within his pow
