LOOKING UP CORPORATIONS
UNCLE SAM PROPOSES TO coll
LECT NEW EXCISE TAX.
Has Had an Agent Here Getting In

County Corporations.

Has Had an Agent Here Getting In
formation About the Terrell
County Corporations.
Uncle sam is always looking out
for his interest, and in the case of
the new corporation tax he is losing
no time. Already the federal gov
eminent is on the trail of everything
that has the faintest resemblance of
a corporation in Terrell county
The internal revenue officers all
over the country are after the corpo-
ratlons, and in a short while there
VIII be a census taken of them ev-
erywhere. In fact, a representa-
tive OF the government has already
been in Dawson twice on business
connected with this work.
The deputies are instructed to go
back over the records in the office
of the Clerk of the Superior Court
and secure a list of all corporations
ever chartered. They then go to the
Ordinary's office and compare the old
list with the books to ascertain which
are now non-eXistent. The com
pleted lists are compiled and are
placed in the hands of the collector
OF revenue. The deputies are also
to list the capital stock of each and
the principal place of business.
Will Call ON Corporations.
Each of the corporations will then
be called upon to give returns, and
this is expected to cause the real
stir. Uncle Sam will be insistent
and Will require the returns. The ex-
else tax upon corporations provided
for by the last congress will be i'm
posed in accordance with the returns
finally accepted. The tax is upon the
net incomes over and above $4,000.
The corporations subject to the tax
include banks, trust companies, build
ing associations, insurance COMMA
MES, public service corporations such
as railroads, electric light companies,
express, transportation and stor-
age companies and telephone and
telegraph companies; industrial and
manufacturing companies, mercantile
firms, and all other companies and
associations.
The institution of the new tax will
not be greeted with much pleasure
here, and the result may be that the
putting of the law into effect will
result in the FORGETTING of their char
tiers by some of the smaller corpora-
tiOns.

NEW EMPIRES FOR PIONEERS.
Millions Of Acres of Indian Lands to Be Thrown Oper For
~Settlemept--Offer Homes and Wealth---Include Rich
Farming, Timber and Mineral Tracts in
Idaho, Montana and Washington.

Washington, D. c. Millions of
acres of fertile Western lands will be
made available by President Taft for
homeseekers during the next nine
months If he follows the policy which
has been laid down by the Depart
ment of the Interior. The settler
may make his selection in any one of
the three States of Idaho, Montana
and Washington.
1t is proposed to throw open g.
872,600 acres, comprising part of
five different allotments to Indians.
mineral lands, sufficient not only to
provide homes but wealth to the sue
cessful applicants.
The sections under consideration
include 100000 acres at Occur
d'Alene, Idaho; $4,000 acres at Lem
nj, Idaho: 100000 acres near Flat
head, Mont; $4,000 acres near Spo-
kane, Wash, and Las, 900 acres in
the vicinity of Yakima, Wash.
Long ago it was decided that the
Indian reservation must go, the In
dian be absorbed into the civilization
of the American continent and the
districts set aside for him made avail
able for homes for sturdy Americans.
1t has been decided that the present
year is the time to do this.
The readiness of the people of the
United States to gamble has led the
Government to surround its land
openings with restrictions. Even
with these the proportion Of those
who applied for lands at last years
openings to those who obtained them
was ifty-seven to one. There were
114,769 in the first class, and it Is
estimated that only about 1000 were
rewarded with good farms. 1t cost
the applicants on an average of $40

each to go to the sections where the
openings took place, which is one of
the requirements.
Almost all the applicants for the
new lands come from east of the
States in which the new lands are To-
Gated, but very few leave the Atlantic
slope to try their fortunes in the
West. Twenty States furnished the
greater part Of the applicants last
year. Nebraska headed the list with
3T,26S applicants. This is accounted
for at the Land Office by the fact that
the settlers in Nebraska we're pio-
neers, and while they have been sue
cessful they have in many cases in
sufficient wealth to establish their
sons in the high priced lands of that
State. This is true, perhaps in a less
degree, of the fertile State of Iowa,
which Is credited with 32,413 appli-
cants. South Dakota furnished IT,
1874; Illinois, 1888; Indiana, 918;
Kansas, 5371; Kentucky, 1873; Mich
igan, 1875; Minnesota, 1920; Mis-
souri,, 6058; New York, 1911; North
Dakota, 554; Ohio, 344; Oklahoma,
1854; Pennsylvania, 100; Texas. 1874;
Washington, 10; West Virginia, 10;
Wisconsin, 1878, and Wyoming, 3S.
Lands were offered last year in the
town of Gregory, S. D., at not less
than 81 an acre, after having been
subject to entry at the rate of $3.50
an acre for four years previous. These
were suitable for grazing, but in
many cases could be made to yield
good crops. There is the word of the
Government for the statement that
lands in that locality entered four
years before have not only produced
good crops, but were selling at the
time the opening was advertised at
$40 to $50 an acre.

Of local hospitals and other charities,
and cutting off her brother, George l..

the will, alleging that his sister was
not competent to make a will at the
time, and that he, as her only heir,
should inherit the entire estate. Nc
Donough testified that his sister kept
seven or eight cats, which she cared
for as tenderly as though they were
children. Vice-Chancellor Walker, in
his opinion, takes the view that While
Miss McDonough was insane, yet he
reaches the conclusion that she had
never lost her reason with reference
to matters of business, and that the
will was made during a lucid interval

four years at the expense of the Gov
