Get THRILLS
OF WILD WEST
Police Called TO Break Up
Gang of Boys.

Residents In the vicinity Of the
Chesebrough Vaseline Works have
been enjoying all the thrills of life
in the west for the past few days
and SO intense has the excitement
grown at times that 1t was thought
best to report conditions to the
police.
A particular feature of the situa-
ton seems to be the firing of revolt
vers by a number of the boys who
compose the gang of would-be
scouts Daily they gather around
the improvised camp fire and with
loud whoops and the firing of revol-
vers rush to attack an imaginary
enemy.
While interesting at first, this
condition of AFFAIRS has grown mon,
otonous to those living near the
scene of the rendezvous and the
chances of being hit by some stray
bullet are being calculated with
more than ordinary interest,
Sergeant Durham detailed Mount
ed Patroiman Hartmann to the
scene Saturday and the camp was
broken up, perhaps only to be pitch
ed again at another DOint

PROSPECT GOOD
Democrats Likely to lncor-
porate 1t in Tariff.
BY ARTHUR W. DUNN

Washington, Feb. 6.-[Special.J-If a
sufficient number of states act favor
ably upon the constitutional amend
that an income tax provision win be
Incorporated In the first tariff bill the
Democratic house passes In the Sixty
second congress-, whether 1t is q sched-
ule revision or an entire tariff bill.
Whatever else may be done, 1t is an
assured fact that as long as the Demo
Gratis control and have the power they
will make the income tax a part OF
any venue measure. 1t Is known
that insurgent Republicans will help
put an income tax through the senate.
Tariff Purely Local.
Nothing has illustrated the fact that
local conditions govern tariff sentiment
better than the Canadian reciprocity
agreement. Two states widely sep
arated are a sufficient example. In
Massachusetts, all but one or two mem
bers of the house are for the agree
ment, while those who oppose 1t are
most bitterly aggressive. Congress
man Gardner, representing Gloucester
and the fishing interests, viii use every
endeavor to defeat the treaty on the
fish issue. Representatives of other
sections of Massachusetts, believing
their constituents will be benefited, are
for the new arrangement.
In Minnesota the representatives
have divided. The men from the COM
mereial eenters, Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Duluth, are for reciprocity. 1t
means n great commerce with western
Canada for those cities and will aid
their manufacturing Industries. The
men representing the country districts
are vigorously opposing the agreement
because wheat, barley and other grains
and agricultural products are to be
admitted free of duty and will COM
pete with the products OF the farm.
Other sections and other states will
show the same divisions. The repre-
sentatives of districts which are not
affected by Canadian competition and
which may benefit by reason Of cheap
err foods on account of the Canadian
supply are for reciprocity, while rep
resentatives of sections where Cana
dian products win compete with their
Industries are fighting the agreement.
Senators who have constituents of
both kinds are@in a uuanday.

Only those bills which are satisfac-

days. Time after time the senate
takes up the many bills on the calen-
dar, aud most of them go over on OBJ
lection.
There are quite a number Of meas
ures which different senator's want to
have passed, but there are always 9TH
err senators who make it their business
to see that they do not go through,
with half a dozen important measures
pending and many senators bullying
with speeches the time Of the senate
