There is going to be a rally of ath-

walkers reach there. The rally means
more than giving the public an oppor-

while the United States has altogether

and more than 1000 miles OF canals,
these totals are broken up into a large

of different depths and dfferens condi.

Death Followed Slap In Face.

LEw1sTowN, July 12.-Upon a re-
port that Thomas Gear, a we'll known
resident of Stanford, had been killed
under circumstances indicating mur-
der, the county attorney, sheriff and
coroner today went out to Windham
to make an investig alton.
The man suspected of having caused
Gears death, Thomas Wilson, has
disappeared. It seems that Gear, who
was drunk, was abusing his small
son, when Wilson interfered and Gear
became abusive. Wilson slapped his
face with his open hand and went on.
In half an hour Gear suddenly col.
lapsed and died. An autopsy revealed
the fact that death was wholly due to
acute alcoholism and Wilson was
fully e%xonerated from any response
bility.

Enormous Wooden Pipe Lines.

The water pipes of centuries ago
were made Of wood and during recent
years modern methods have caused a
revival OF the industry. In earlier
years wood pipes were made from logs
by the slow and rather uncertain pro.
cess of boring. Such pipes we're only
used for low pressure service. To.
day, wooden pipes r made of Sc
lected slaves, manufactured with
mathematical accuracy, each stave
being q perfect segment of the whole
circle.
Douglas or Oregon fir, obtained in
Oregon and Washington, is the wood
best adapted for the manufacture Of
such pipe, this timber. when saturated
with water and protected from outside
influences, being practically everlast-
ing. Popular mechanics describes the
methods used in handling the slaves
into pipe, and says:
NEARLY 1900 feet Of this type Of
stave pipe, St feet in diameter, has
also been placed in opera alton to furn.
ish water for the turbines of the elec-
trio plant that furnishes the power to
draw the trains Of the Great Northern
railroad through its tunnel in the
Cascades. The plant develops 16, 600
horsepower. The maximum head car.
ried by the pipe 10 l6S feet.
1.-THE wooden pipe for this line was
delivered on special railroad trucks,
and consisted Of IS cars of slaves o.
l, 500, 900 feet board measure. The
steel bands, weighing nearly 1900, 0O(
pounds were carried by 81 cars. Ths
malleable cast iron shoes required fol
anchoring this enormous continuous
pipe line required five large cars"

TAX LARGE INCOMES,
Proposed Law Meets With Favor
Among Statesmen.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-At q con.
ference at the white house tod y it was
decided that the rate to be levied I'm.
der the new corporation tax shall be
reduced from 2 per cent to l per cent
and that in redrafting the measure
now in conference along with the
tariff bill to meet the various ob1ec-
ttons tibet have been raised, consider.
alton shall be given the demands of
the mutual life insurance companies.
President Taft was the central fig.
ure In q number of conferences today.
He told several of his callers today
that he Is finding the conferees concil.
iatory and that he 10 hopeful that q
satisfactory measure will be presented
to him for his signature. The confer.
ence report should be available, &C.
cordtng to the presidents informa.
ton, by the end Of next week.
BY the decisive vote of 3l7 to IA,
more than the ces ary two.thirds,
the house today passed the senate
joint resolution which provides for
the submission of the income tax ques.
ton to the states. The negative votes
were all cast by republicans. The
resolution now goes to the president
for his sign AZURE.
The debate lasted about four hours.
Chairman Payne Of the ways and
means committee voiced the sentiment
that such q tax would make "a ma.
ton Of liars." The burden of the
democratic speeches was that it was
simply q case of stealing democratic
thunder. although some of the remarks
on that side incidentally touched upon
the tariff and corporation tax with no
little amount of castig alton of the re-
publicans for failing, as was alleged,
to keep party pledges.
