Keokuk lumber dealers are inter-
ested In the operations which have
begun on the upper Mississippi river
to ship large quantities of shingles
and other lumber products of north
ern Minnesota and Wisconsin and the
Pacific coast, from . dock, off Eagle
street, st. Paul, to points in this
vicinity of the river. Keokuk dealers
are of the opinion that in the future
al. shingles and lumber products re-
ceived here will come by barges, the
first of which has already taken ten
carloads of shingles to the Burling-
ton Lumber Company.
Contracts already made by down
river milling concerns with north
western lumber mills will make st.
Paul within the year one Of the larg-
est shipping ports on the Mississippi.
The shingles and lumber will be
brought from the mills to st. Paul by
rail and from there transhipped to
barges, and tow boats. Terminal
buildings and machinery for handling
the loads are being built near the Bur.
|lington Lumber Company's mill and
will be begun at other points soon.

Makes Nice Saving

The Burlington Lumber Company
claims that as a result Of its expert
ment, imperfectly carried out, It made
a saving of 8 cents a 100 pounds on
the 13-cent rate from st. Paul to Bur
lington, which is charged by the rail-
roads.
The down river lumber merchants
and milling concerns, according to es-
innate, consume about 600 cars of
shingles and crude lumber products
a year. They believe that their needs
will increase when they have fully
utilized the 9 cents advantage afford
ed by river shipment.

It's Your Kidneys.

Shows how to cure Them

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness;
when uinar trouble sets in they
think it will soon correct itself.
And so it is with all the other sym
tons of kidney disorders, That is
just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they
may lead to diabetes or Bright s
decease. The best remedy to use is
Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures all
which are caused by weak or d.
seased kidneys. Washburn people
testify to permanent cures.
Margaret Sands, Third St.. Wash
burn, Wis. says: II have only
words of praise for Doan's Kidney
Pills. For some time I have suffered
from weak kidneys and my whole
system seemed to be filled with uric
poison. was subject to dizzy
spells and often 1 had difficulty in
breathing. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and | felt mis- cradle

Notes From Washington
From our Regular Correspondence.


At the conference at the White
House on Tuesday evening, COM
posed of the President, Secretary
Knox, the Attorney General,
Senator Root, Speaker Cannon,
Representative Dwight, the Re
publican whip, and the Republi-
can members of the Finance
Committee Of the Senate, was
considered the draft of the pro-
posed amendment to the tariff
bill, now popularity known as the
corporation tax. and it met with
the cordial and UNANIMOUS ap-
proval of all present at the con-
ference. The principal features
of the amendment has been de-
cided on at the conference held
on Monday night, and only a few
slight changes are needed to per-
feet the draft, In brief, it pro-
vides that the tax of two per
cent on the net earnings applies
to all corporations, each of which
is required to submit a complete
statement of it's gross and net
earnings, interest due on bonds,
ETC., except that the first $4,000
of such net earnings shall be ex-
empt from taxation. Corpora
tions will be allowed to deduct
from their net earnings funds
sufficient to pay the interest on
bonds not in excess of their capital
stock, except that this does not
apply to debenture or income
bonds, or to bonds into which
the capital stock OBVIOUSLY has
been converted. National and
State banks are subject to the
tax, except that in the case OF
national banks there shall be de-
Quoted from the income tax they
are required to pay such amount
as they have paid already as
taxes on their circulation. The
secretary of the Treasury is EN-.
powered to order an investigation
into the affairs of any corpora
ton which is suspected of any
attempt to evade the tax. All
returns made by corporations
must show of course the gross
and net earnings of the corpora
tion, and any interest due on
bonds. and must be sworn to.
The corporation tax will become
effective Immediately and there
will be no time limitation
as was proposed some time ago.
