In the Days of the Deadwood
Treasure Coach.

A chapter from the persona
recollections Of w. H. Taylor:
There were particular gang.
under leaders answering to the
cognomens: Charley Price, Frank
Toll, Doug Goodale, Big Nosed
George, Bill Bivens, Mclaughlin,
and McDonald-the latter. was
probably Frank James. Addition
al to these were the Wall and
Blackburn gangs. This list i'm
plies no dlsparagement to others
who were operating in such a man
ner as to be less we'll known.
Along the three hundred miles
of stage line there were numerous
scenes OF violence, and it is said
that over a hundred lives were
lost on this trail in one season.
The Sioux Indians were also in
the field more or less, and played
their part with their usual skill;
albeit there were placed to their
credit numerous dastardly acts ol
which they were not guilty.
On the Cut-OR Trail that led to
the mines through Custer City was
what was known as Red Canyon.
This was fatal place to many an
unfortunate gold-seeker. Any
small party stood about an equal
chance of being attacked in pass.
ing through there and in many
places along this canyon were
raised mounds, with headboards
or without, that indicated the last
resting places of ambitious mortals
who there had met an untimely
end. One fellow of a classical
turn of mind had placed up at the
entrance a sign on which he had
written:
| ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER

Will be Furnished There.


]. W. Witter, who has been ap
pointed by the Washington, D. c.,
land department to act as superin'
tendent of the Flathead, Occur d..
Alene and Spokane reservation open
ings, has advised the Missoula United
States land Office that he will arrive
10 Missoula June to make prelimin.
ary arrangements for the establish
ment Of a registration office for the
Flathead opening there and to select
Judges and a clerical force to take
charge Of the work when the rush
begins.
The Missoula land Office is 10 re-
ceipt Of advice from Washington to
the effect that all inquiries relating
to the opening of any of the reserva-
tions should be addressed direct to
the Washington department, not to
the local registration clerks or judges.
The department further advises
that literature will be mailed from
Washington on application. Much
interest Is being manifested in the
reservation openings and the land
office Is being besieged with inquiries
relating to the distribution of the
Indian lands.

ERRONEOUS TARIFF Table
Said to Give Wrong Figures.
Not Official.
TWO PER CENT DIVIDENDS
Offered as Substitute for the
Income Tax. M

Washington, d. e., May 29.-The
officials of the Treasury Department
greatly regret the erroneous and mis-.
leading statements concerning the
tariff aud the effect of the duties
that have found their way into circu-
lation recently, and particularly a
table. Just published by couple Of
eastern papers aud purporting to
show the amount Of duty collected on
various necessities, approximately
forty In number, which it is alleged
was computed by officials Of the
Treasury for the use OF the President.
This table was in fact prepared for
the Presidents use, but on compile
tiO0 II was found to be SO misleading
that 1t was rejected and was never
submitted to him. For instance, the
table represents the duty paid Don
mems suits retailing at SIS TO be
$lO.76 each under the Dlngley law,
and the Payne and Senate bills;
while the fact Is that the duty on
suits Of that quality is $4.76. Mems
overcoats retailing at the same price
are cited as paying duty Of $llS6,
whereas the actual duty is $5.64.
Mems 81 hats are cited as paying
duty Of 90 l.3 cents under the Ding.
ley law and the Payne bill, aud IS 5 8
cents under the Senate bill, whereas
the duty is IS cents under all three
measures. Mems shoes selling at re.
tail for $3.50, the table represents as
paying a duty of 81 l-2 cents under
the Dingley law is 36 cents, and un-
der the pending bill % cents. These
are merely sample, and similar
inaccuracies are to be found through
out the table.
The most interesting situation In
connection with the tariff bill Is that
which attends the income tax propo-
sition. 1t Is believed that many
republicans, as well as number of
democrats, who are favorably dis.
posed to the income tax proposition
would prefer to vote for the tax OH
corporations, which would be general
~ popular throughout the country;
and unless the confidential poll uf
the republican organization 10 the
senate shows that there is sufficient
strength on the republican side OF
the chamber to send both the Cum.
minis and Bailey income tax amend.
ments to the committee on judiciary,
an amendment embodying the Presi-
dents proposition for two per cent
tax on the dividends of corporations
will be offered as a substitute. Such
tax would yield aD annual revenue
of probably not to exceed 500, 600, 900,
whereas the income tax would yield
approximately $70,000,000 and its
adoption would require a review of
practically the entire tariff bill and a
scaling down Of the duties all. along
the line In order that the federal
government should not take too large
sum out Of circulation and accumu.
late surplus too rapidly.
