now SOou be limited to n few opec
spaces near prominent h~eadlands.
The scene of the real hunt changed
from the sen to the land. We bad as
yet no caribou meat. The little auks
gathered in nets during the summe
and elder duck bageed later disap-
peared fast when used as steady diet.
We nus procur" hare, ptarmigan and
reindeer, fer we had not yet learned
to eat with :; relish the fishy. Hver-lik"
substance which is characteristic of
all marine mammals.
Guns and ammunition were diStrib-
uted. and when the winds were easy
enough to allow II to venture out
every man sought the neighborinG
hills. Francke also took his exercise
with q gun on his shoulder.
The combined results ave a long
line Of ptarmigan. two reindeer and
sixteen hares. AS snow covered the
down near the sea. where we could
still hope to hunt in the feeble light Of
the early part of the night.
No Anxiety For Winter.
With a larder fairly stocked and
good prospects for other tasty meats
we were spared the usual anxiety OF
q winter without winter supplies. and
Francke was just the man to use this
game to good effect, for he had a
way Of preparing u primitive pro-
visions that made our dinners seem
equal to a Holland House spread.
In the middle Of October foxskins
were prime, and then new steel traps
were distributed and set near the
many caches. By this time the Eski-
mos had all abandoned their sealskin
tents and were snugly settled in their
winter igloos. The ground was COW
cred with snow, and the sea was near
ly frozen over everywhere.
Everybody was busy preparing for
the coming cold and night. The tenn
perature was about 20 degrees below
zero. Severe storms were becoming
less frequent, and the air. though
colder, was less humid and less disa-
greeable. An ice fort was formed. and
the winter sledging was begun by
short excursions to bait the fox traps
and gather the foxes.
All these pursuits, with the work of
building and repairing sleds, making
dog harness and shaping new winter
clothing, kept up a lively interest
while the great crust which was to
hold down the unruly deep for so
MANY months thickened and closed.
Last Glimpse Of the Dying Day.
During, the last days Of brief sun
shine the weather cleared, and at
noon on Oct. "a everybody sought the
freedom of the open for a last glimpse
Of the dying day. There was q charm
Of color and glitter. but no one seem
ed quite happy as the sun sank under
the southern ice, for it was not to rise
again for 11S days.
The Eskimos took this as a signal to
enter a trance Of sadness, in which
the bereavement of each family and
the discomforts Of the year are enact
ed in dramatic chants or dances.
But to US the sunset of 1907 al in

There was one member of the
Tempest and Sunshine" Company
named Kline that needs sandpaper
treatment. He don't know much or
thinks he is somebody. At the hotel
he wanted to be waited on first and
denied being called in the morning
after answering the call. He is what
might be termed a dub with a swell
head. If he could see himself as
others see him he would need an
emetic.

Depending on Eskimo Food.

In this respect, as in others, I was
helped very much by the people who
were to line up my forces. The Eski-
mo is ever hungry, but his taste Is
normal. Things of doubtful value in
nutrition form no part in his dietary.
Animal food, meat and fat, is entirely
satisfactory as a steady diet without
other adjuncts. His food requires nei-
Their salt nor sugar. nor is cooking a
matter of necessity.
Quantity is important. but quality
applies only to the relative proportion
Of fat. With this key to the CASTRO
nomics of our lockers, pemmican was
selected as the staple food, which also
served equally we'll for the dogs.
We had an ample supply of penn
mican. made by Armour, of pounded
dried beef. %sprinkled with a few
~raisins, some currants and a small
quantity Of sugar. This mixture was

HAUL BAGGAGE FREE
ON THE STREET CARS.
Such Is Order of the Com
mission-Traile Cars
May Come Soon.

The Railroad Commission has decided
that the street car company must haul
the baggage of its passengers
Heretofore passengers have been re-
CURED to send their trunks by the
suburban express and pay extra.
The street car company is operating
under regular railroad charter, but
has not been giving railroad accommo-
dations.
The people of Marietta and along the
line have been trying for several wears
to get an improvement in che accom-
modations, but have been turned down
every time. They recited in their petit
tions to the Railroad Commission that
il the street car company was to charge
railroad fare it should transport bag.

toilets, ice water, etc.
The people also prayed to be deliv-
cred from the intolerable jam in the
cars every morning and during the rush
hours Of the evening.
The Commission has decided against
the people on every point except that
there is to be an extra car leave Mari.
etts at seven O'Clock and Atlanta at six.
This will relieve the pressure little
bit.
The Commission ordered the road tn
haul baggage free, and that ia where
there will be row. The baggage will
be hauled on the express cars, and there
are no depot agents along the route and
no tickets are sold. Marietta will he

The company claims that it cannot

from an alternating electric current to
direct current, which it is preparing

DR.. PattOn's MuStache
Has Been Shaved Off

DR.. Patton has shaved off his mus
tache. His best friends had to take a
second look at him Tuesday before
they were sure of his identity.
"Who did it?" he was asked.
"Sam Grogan," he answered.
"How was it, and why ?" was the
next question.
"Well," said the doctor, MRS. Pat
ton and Brother Nesbet, who was at
my house, got after me to cut 'em off
and they crowded me pretty hard with
persuasion. Yesterday | was passing
Grogan's and | said, 'Nesbet, if you
will go in with me and stand by me
throughout the ordeal, I'll let 'em go.
He went with me and you see the re-
suit"
DR.. Patton was a handsome man be-
fore he shaved and his looks have not
been hurt. If.anything, he has an air
that is, if possible, just tritie more
intellectual. So the mustache is prob
ably gone for good.

JUDGE MORRIS AFTER
THE TAX DODGERS.
In Charge to Grand Jury
He Presents Some AS
tonishing Figures.

When the November term of the Su-
perlor Court convened Monday. Judge
Morris charged the Grand Jury, and in
the course of his charge went for the
tax dodgers vigorously, presenting
some very astonishing instances in that
line. He said very emphatically that
II such gross discrepancies were per-
sisted in next year, he would insist on
indictments against the offenders The
charge created sensation, and many
expressions of approval were heard.
What Judge Morris said in regard to
tax dodgers was as follows:
Gentlemen, it is my duty under the
law at the fall term of court in each
year to specially charge the grand ia.
ries concerning the following sections
eff the Code, to-wit:
Sec. 935. Grand jury shall inspect
receivers books. The tax receiver in
each county of this State, in each and
every year, at the fall term of the supe-
rior court in his county, shall lay before
the grand jury his returns for that year,
OF the taxable property in his said coun-
ty, and the grand jury shall overlook the
same, and whenever they find an under
valuation, to correctly assess the same
according to the market valuation of the
property, and return to the receiver his
returns with the corrections which they
have made.
Sec. 93o. Corrected returns the guide
tor next year. When the receiver shall
receive his returns for the next succeed |
ing year, and corrected returns made bv
the grand jury, it shall be his guide for
that year, and if the tax payer shall re-
turn his property below the valuation
made by the grand jury, the receiver
and tax payer each shall select an arbi- |
traitor, and these two shall select an UNI |
pire to whom the question of valuation
shall be referred, and their award shall
be returned to the receiver, and shall be
entered by him as the valuation of said |
tax payers property.
Il have given this subject consider
able investigation recently by going to
the tax digest and examining the re-
turns of various parties of their prop-
erty that am familiar with, both in
the towns and the country of our
county J have also compared the re-
turns made Of the property in the |
towns given in for state and county |
taxes with the assessments made on
the same property by the town authori-
ties for city taxes, and regret to state
to you that | was shocked beyond ex-
preston over the results of this investi. |

years that the property owner must
swear to his tax returns, but until re-
Gently there has been no penalty for
a failue to swear to them do not re-
member that / ever swore to mine until
this year. Recently the General AS
sembly passed law providing thai in
every instance where your tax Receiver
failed to actually swear the property
owner to his tax returns he violates the
law and shall be indicted and punished
as for msdemeanor. Early this year
/ called our Tax Receivers attention
to this law. / stated to him that if he
did not live up to the letter of il, I
would charge the grand juries that it
was their duty to indjct HIM He re-
Gently stated to me that he made each
and every taxpayer swear to his re-
turns, but many Of them were very
mad about it, s 8s |
Gentlemen, if these people will stop
and think for a moment they will readi-
ly see that they cannot afford to nut
| themselves in the attitude of criticizinp
or falling out with public official who
discharges a duty that the law directs
aud that he himself has solemnly sworn
to follow. Al any rate the tax returns
of Cobb County for this year were in.
creased over $500 900.
CITY RETURNS AND CITY ASSESSMENTS.
Gentlemen, I said the result OF INV
investigation was shocking Let me
give you few facts and figures that
you can verify by going to the tax
books, and let us see how it appeals to
you.
Take for example Marietta. The
total assessed value OF the entire prop
erty within the incorporate limits of
the City Of Marietta for this rear a.
appears fom the city tax digest is
SO 09l $50. This does not include rail
road, telegraph, telephone, express
companies or public service corpora.

There are many good rocomnenda-
tlons in the Message OF Governor spry'

biguity in the law defining this au-
thority. II should Doe unequIvocal ana

means best known 10 willy politicians,
I'm the interest Of grafters. immense
injury can be done 20 the community
with the aid Of ambiguous laws We
hope the Legislators VIII carry out this
suggestion Of the Governor
There are many recommendations IN

The educational standards OF the state.
But the total appropriations Tor an pur-
poses should not grow any faster than

result Of the natural expansion OF the
assessable values. The addition TO the
Income by means Of new taxes or by
an artificial raise Ia the value OF pro-
periy should not be resorted 20 except
at times when extraordinary conun-
eencies call for extraordinary meas
ures. There are no such contingencies
now one OF the most important du-
ties OF the Legislators just now is 70
study economy In public expenditures.
The question Of creating a public ser
vice commission Is one Of the most
important treated on in the message.
II demands the most careful considera-
ton. And that consideration should be
given Il in a conservative spirit as the
Governor suggests. Until the proposed
measure reaches the Legislature, news
paper discussion Of the subject IS pre-
mature, but this much can be said now,
in perfect harmony with the Message,
that tho people Of Utah, are not In
favor OF radical experiments. They de-
mand fairness and justice In an things.
As we have said before, we regret
that the Prohibition question did not
find consideration I'm the first Message

be- made the subject Of a special mes
sage later on. II found desirable and
the cause win not suffer from the delay.
