Frank Mcnamara and F. L. Gross
hart, two prominent. young farmers
of Mingo, were pleasant callers at The
Times Sanctum while in Butler last
week. The former renewed for his
father, j. NJ. S. Mcnamara, and VIII
lis |. Yeates, both pioneer settlers of
this county, and Mr.. Grosshart had
his dates boosted ahead.
Elmer Haynes, 10 year old grand
son of Col. Elijah Haynes, of this
city, met with painful accident Fri
day, which resulted in the fracture of
two ribs, besides a number of bruises.
He was riding in two-horse wagon,
driven by Walter Henry, leading a
team; when the team he was leading
pulled back, dragging him out of the
wagon, iniuring him as above.
We call attention to the consolidat-
ed statement Of the Missouri State
Bank and Walton Trust Company,
showing total resources of $780,
546.87, with cash and exchange Of
about three hundred thousand dollars.
A million dollars in resources for a
financial institution in a town the size
of Butler is something very excep-
tional, and yet Mr.. Walton, figuring
on his rate of increase for the past
few years and his business outlook,
confidently predicts they will reach
those figure in short time.
The Nevada Post reports that the
Daily Mail and Weekly Southwest
Mail will change hands on April LIST,
j. H. Bean and w. l.. carp having

the city editor of the Mail for many
years and is a splendid newspaper
man. Mr.. carp is county treasurer
of Vernon and is reported to be a
good business man. This has been
regarded one of the best newspaper
properties in the south west, and un-
der its new management will no
doubt keep up its reputation.
w. o. jackson, prominent attor-
ney of Butler, was in this place last
Friday, and while here made this Of
flee pleasant call. Mr.. Jackson is
candidate for circuit Judge on the
Democratic ticket in the 18th judicial
district. By reason of ability, tenn
permanent, leagal attainments and his

CORPORATE TAX
RETURNS SECRET
NO PROVISION FOR PUBLIC
INSPECTION
Under Present Law Secretary of the
Treasury Is Enloined from Using
Part of 100000 for Help
or Accommodations
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Returns
made by corporations under the law
imposing a tax of per cent on their
net incomes are not to be open to pub
lie inspection unless congress makes an
appropriation specifically providing for
accommodations and clerical help.
Somebody has discovered that an act
passed in 1882 expressly prohibits the
secretary of the treasury from using
any part of the appropriation of $780,
900 made by congress 'for the expenses
of collecting the corporation tax" in
the employment of persons within the
District of Columbia.
President Taft thinks that congress
intended that the returns, original and
corrected, should be open to inspection,
and in letter to the secretary of the
treasury he has suggested that if the
construction which seems to him to be
the right one Is to be carried into exc
cution there must be an appropriation
of $4,000 for the specific purpose.
Following the presidents suggestion,
Charles D. Norton, acting secretary of
the treasury, has submitted to the
speaker of the house an estimate for an
of the amount stated.
Strong opposition has developed to
the publicity feature of the corporation
tax. The issue is now squarely before
congress and much interest is mani
tested as to whether that body will re-
enact the existing publicity provision
by granting the appropriation asked.

lists. The old canyon road, which has for
years been the route, is in a very dangerous

SOUR MILK CURE PUTS
HER LADYSHIP IN BED
Wife of Sir Squire Bancroft Rendered
More Seriously Ill by Newest
European Medical Fad

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Lady Bancroft
was taken i'll suddenly last week after
her return from Folkestone with Sir
Squire Bancroft. She had been taking
what is known as the 'sour milk
cure" with the result that she deVel-
oped what Sir Squire Bancroft said
might be described as "milk poison
ing" Sir Squire added that "the sour
milk cure" was one of those new rem
edies with which he himself was un-
acquainted.
Lady Bancroft's throat was seriously
affected and she is still confined to
her room. When the symptoms first
developed, a well-known specialist was
summoned and prompt measures We're
taken.
The "sour milk cure" or Tactic acid
cure, as it Is also called, is becoming
highly popular, although medical men
agree that there is some risk attend
ing it. 1t was first advocated by Prof.
Ellie Metchnikoff OF the Pasteur in
stitute of Paris, and has since been
developed on scientific lines by other
melical men. One of its chief dangers
seems to lie in the fact that the milk
NAV become contaminated in the
process of being "soured," and the cure
should never be taken excepting under
medical instructions. Lady Bancroft
took it under medical advice, and the
milk was scientifically "soured." Her
Iadyship experienced no i'll effects
until she had partaken of the last milk
supplied to her.

Doesn't it feel good to live in South
ern California and the land of sun
shine While old Boreas is cutting shines
and capers in the east and north?
Robert Eastwood, a travelling man
now a guest at the Hotel Alexandria,
says he not only knows it but that
he's got the proof and he made good
with a vengeance yesterday.
Mr.. Eastwood travels for a large
Chicago wholesale house and his road
trips are necessarily long, but he has
blocked them out so that he can gain
as much comfort as possible, according
to climate. He covers his northern
territory in the summer and the south
in. the winter But he keeps in close
touch with his wife and babies at
home and Monday afternoon he walked
out in the warm sunshine and, think
ing of the loved ones at home after
reading the stories of frigid weather in
the newspapers, he wired his wife as
follows:
picking oranges here, enjoying de-
ligthful sunshine. taking auto rides,
and at night it's so warm that with
comforter it's too hot to sleep. What
are you all doing?"
He didn't have long to wait for an
answer. While waiting until he had
gained a comfortable appetite for din
ner, the call boy at the hotel brought
him the following answer from his
wife at Chicago:
"ShoveIing coal, wearing ear-muffs,
feeding hungry kids, beef is still go
ing up. You have snap. Better send
for the bunch"
That told the story of why Los An
geles is growing bigger every day.

STUBBS UPHOLDS
RAILWAY MERGER
SAYS S. p. AND u. P. LINES DID
NOT COMPETE
WITNESS ATTACKS BASIS FOR
DISSOLUTION SUIT
Traffic Manager Contends TWO Roads
Can Serve Same Terminals
and Not Battle for
Business
rAssociated Pressl

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-J. c. Stubbs,
general traffic director, and E. J..
Spencer, eastern general freight man
ager for the Hartman lines, testified
today that there was no real competi-
ton between the Southern and Union
Pacific railroads prior to their ANAL
gamation in 1901 by the late r. H.
Hartman.
The United States government is su-
ing for a dissolution of the Hartman
merger on grounds that the roads are
competing lines, barred by federal
statute from uniting to eliminate COM
petition.
In support of his contention that two
lines could serve the same terminals
and not compete for bushes, Mr..
Stubs cited the traffic over the
Shasta route (Southern Pacific) and
the Oregon Transportation company, d
water route between San Francisco
and Portland.
The steamship service, he said, was
better than the railroad service, except
that 1t was not daily, and the railroad,
in its growth, took nothing from the
steamship line, but originated new
business. Therefore, the two lines did
not compete, he said.
Gave Up Efforts
I'VE made an effort to get some of
this business" said Mr.. Stubbs, but
we gave it up and quit, and that was
before the merger
Mr.. Spencer testified that the South
ern Pacific never had been a serious
factor in coast to coast trade. 1t was
the volume of business originating in
the south and southeast, he said, that
made the Sunset route" (Southern Pa
cific) factor in California.
The business of the Southern Pacific
between the Atlantic seaboard and
Portland, Ore, for 1900, he said, was
only 16-100ths of / per cent of the
company's total, the Colorado Utah
business Of the company over the same
route only 5-100ths of 1 per cent.

offered a formal objection to these
dgures when he got the witness to ad-
NIT that they were supplied to him by
an auditor, and that he could not swear
personally TO their accuracy.

TENT MYSTERY
JURY AT SANTA ROSA WILL IN
VESTIGATE BURKE
FRIENDS OF DOCTOR HINT AT AN
ULTERloR MOTIVE
Dispositions Taken from Employees of
Sanitarium Keeper Declaring
He Got Dynamite
at Mines
Associated Press1

SANTA ROSA, Feb. 16.-The grand
jury will convene here next Wednes-
day to consider the evidence in the case
Of DR.. w. p. Burke, who was arrested
several days ago in connection with
the dynamiting of the tent house of
Miss Luella Smith on the grounds of
the Burke sanitarium, in which the
woman and her 11-months-old baby
narrowly escaped serious injury or
death. About twenty witnesses, in
Guiding Thomas Riley, a miner en-
ployed by DR.. Burkes mines at Kanaka
peak until a few days ago and who
made a deposition that Burke obtained
six sticks Of dynamite at the mine,
have been subpoenaed.
Following the return today of Dis
trict Attorney Clarence F. Lea and
Sheriff ]. K. Smith with dispositions
obtained from some of the employees in
DR.. Burke's mines, the district attor-
ney announced that the grand Jury
would convene Wednesday instead of
Friday, as had previously been given
out.
This, it is said, would enable all the
witnesses wanted to be on hand to
testify.

criminal law for several years,
Lawyers Engaged
1t is said here that Hiram johnson
of San Francisco and L. r. Leppo of
Santa Rosa have been retained by Dr.
Burke. This, however, could not be
confirmed.
DIR. Burke still maintains his attitude
of silence. He has from the first de-
clined to discuss the charges and still
refuses to make any statement.
He seldom leaves the sanitarium
grounds, where he is surrounded by
his friends and patients who still APP
pear to have the utmost faith and con-
fidence in him and who politely, but
firmly, keep the newspaper men away.
Additional interest has been given
the case and considerable speculation
aroused by the repart that Luella
Smith was about to bring suit against
DR.. Burke for a settlement on behalf
of her child, of which, she asserts, he
is the father.
1t is pointed out that DR.. Burke Is
estimated to be worth about $3.50, 600
and it is declared by his friends that
motives other than those attributed
by Dr. Burke to the prosecution may
be behind the entire matter.
