WlLlAPA HARBOR
CLAIMS DISCRIMINATION
Cities on WiIIipa Harbor Fight Law
Prohibiting Salmon Fishing
During August.

RAYMOND, July 26.-Attorney John
the fishermen of the Willapa Harbor,
filed an action in the superior court
this week asking the courts to re-
strain the county attorney and sheriff
from enforcing the law passed by the
last legislature which forbids the fish
ing for salmon in this harbor during
the month of August.
This bill was fathered by Senator
Espy of this county and was intro
duced, it is said, after meeting be-
tween the senator and Columbia river
fishermen at llwaco.
The month of August is considered
the best fishing month of the entire
season and the loss of this month
business, it is alleged, will mean a loss
OF 100000 to the fishermen on this
harbor.
Tests Constitutionality.
The injunction asked for by Attorn-
ey Homer attacks the constitutional
ity of the law and cites as basis for
the claim the fact that Grays Harbor,
with conditions identical with those
obtaining on Willapa Harbor, is per-
mitted to fish during the month of
August. Also that in other localities
in the state where the conditions are
the same there is no law prohibiting
the taking of fish during this month.
The plaintiffs in the action are H.
P. Olson and c. S. Smith, but the
fishermen as a unit are aiding them
financially and in other ways.

LONG DISTANCE PHONE
ROMANCE TO HAVE ITS
CLIMAX IN A WEDDING

HOQUIAM, July ga romance to
suit the most sentimental eliminated
yesterday morning when Miss Gladys
Fitch, formerly telephone operator
at Ephrata, left Hoquiam for Great
Falls, Mont, to become the bride of
James E. Estes of Sand Point, Idaho.
Estes won his bride-to-be over the
long distance telephone.
Last year, while working as an OPP
orator, Miss Fitch was introduced to
Estes while the latter was working
on the line miles away, through the
agency of a friend connected with the
Spokane central office. Thereafter,
the two talked over the wire every
evening, until finally they decided
that conversation over wire with
miles intervening was unsatisfactory,
and that union for life was the bet
ter plan.

CANADIAN
IMPRESSIONS
Some Comments on Taxation
System Of Alberta.
BY ASA B. WILSON
Aberdeen Man Compares Tax
alton Plans of America
and Alberta
BY ASA B. WILSON

Calgary, Alberta. July 25.-If you
dications that Alberta is under con-
troll of the mother country you will
find that you have the wrong impress
sion. The province is democratic
both in form and in fact. AS to Can
ada's indirect taxation it is plain that
their tariff system is as weak and
unjust as that of the United States.
Partly reprisal because of our duties
laid upon their goods. There can be
no just reason for having a heavy
tax on such goods as leather and cot
ton, or on perishable goods, as fruits.
And it is to be expected that unprin.
cipled politicians who are benefited
thereby will work upon the preju-
dlces of the people in reference to
reciprocity alike on both sides of the
boundary line.
There is no direct Government tax,
either Federal of Provincial, in AL
berta. The Provincial revenue is de.
rived from subsidies from the FEEDER.
al treasury and from various fees
and licenses.
In Alberta there is no tax on per.
sonal property.
There are no taxes except such as
settlers impose upon themselves for
school and road purposes. For the
latter purpose local Improvement Dis.
tricts are organized and rate levied
on all taxable lands within the district
The tax for school purposes is limited
to SIG per year on each quarter sec
ton; for road purposes not more
than s. per quarter section. The Pro.
vincial Department of Public Works
undertakes all large expenditures.
such as the building of bridges and
main roads. This is a land tax and
not real estate tax, as improvements
are not considered for this purpose.

ager, but at the conclusion OF the
case said that he did not know wheth-
err he would appeal to the superior
court or not. He declared that the
law was unconstitutional, as a stem
ographer was a stenographer any
where, and that if one employed in
the offices of street railway com
pany came under the act, and another
employed in a law office or in some
mercantile establishment did not, then
there was class discrimination, and
it should be pronounced unconstitll-
tional for that reason.

phone system covering the whole
province.
The Albertans are modern and pro-
gressive in their municipal system of
government and taxation. For the
most part the cities own and operate
their own street railways, lights and
telephones.
The city of Calgary levies a tax
rate of 141s mills on real estate Gland
and improvements assessed at near
it's cash value.
Edmonton assesses land and floor
space; land at about it's cash value,
and floor space assessed at from 20
cents per square foot to S. per square
foot for banks. The levy is II mills
for 1911. The writer called the as
SCISSORS attention to the fact that a
square foot on Jasper Ave-, was per-
haps worth more than a square foot
used for the same purpose on side
street. He acknowledged at once
that the present system was not en-
tlrely just but that next year they ex-
pected to adopt the pure land tax sys-
tenn. He seemed to take as a matter of
course that any one who took an in
terest in the subject would under
stand that it was the only just and
equitable system. 1t does seem self-eyi-
dent that any one who does not favor
the land tax, or single tax, either for
lack of study or for some other reas-
on, does not understand the question,
or else for some reason or other he
does not desire a just and equitable
taxation.
The Calgarians also, are agitating
the single tax question, but will not
be able to adopt it for some time.
perhaps.
The most progressive real estate
dealers of Alberta favor the land tax
system.
The citizens of Washington should
at least give the land tax plan con.
sideration, for our present system
should be materially altered.
The Torrens title system in use in
Alberta is a great Improvement over
our way also, and is deserving notice

WAR AND PEACE.

There was a time when an in
suit by one man to another in
the same Soria! class could only
be wiped out by the blood Of the
other in mortal duel. and in
those days it took more moral
courage to avoid duel than to
fight one. We have made great
progress almost within our own
memory in such ideals. If that
be true Of men. why may it not
be true in the near future Of ma
tons? Why will it not show
more patriotism and more love
Of country to refuse to go to war
for an insult and to submit 1t to
the arbitrament of peaceful
tribunal than to subject a whole
people to the misery and cruelty
and suffering and burden of
heavy cost Of national war.

Every Parent of a Grow.

There must be no guesswork oho,,&
the treatment Of pale, anaernic girls r.
your daughter has a pale yaIiox-
greenish complexion, is short Of breath

ment may result in such serious i'm
pairment of her health that she viii ha

life. 80
In this disease there is loss of rich
ness in the blood and an entire inability
OF the system to make good this loss
without careful treatment. The disease
occurs in poorly nourished, over-worked
girls and in those who are under ner-
yous strain. A tendency to it may also
be inherited from the mother.
The treatment must give to the blood
the clements which it lacks The most
satisfactory way to do this is to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
A thorough, persistent use of the pills
will restore the blood to its normal rich.
ness and health.
The following statement of Mrs. A. L.
Luclsie, of No. $40 Adam street, st.
Charles, No, deserves the careful at
tention of every mother:

medicines that tried until l took DR..

They seemed to give me new blood
right away and my cheeks became rosy,
