Equities Must Pay Tax.

Olympia-Governor Hay, in letter
to the state board of tax commission
ers, calls attention to the fact that
when landowners give deeds to land
they have sold and reserve mineral de-
posits, as well as rights Of way across
the land, such reservations should be
placed on the tax rolls and assessed
for the purposes of taxation. Cover
nor Hays says in his communication !:
"My attention has been called to
the fact that many of the larger real
estate dealers and corporations, in
giving deeds to lands they have sold,
have reserved all coal, mineral, coal
oil, fossil and other valuable deposits
that may hereafter be found in or up
on the lands; also reserving right Of
way across the property. l under
stand these equities reserved by them
have been escaping taxation. These
equities are of no small value. and you
are hereby directed to notify the coun-
ty assessors throughout the state to
list and assess them the same as any
other things of value. You will kind
ly see to it that these equities are as
sessed and placed on the tax rolls.

SURPLUS ABOVE GUESS.
y. S. Treasury Ends Fiscal Yeal
With $23. 100000.

Washington, D. C. - The Federal
government closed the fiscal year with
a surplus of 100000 according to
estimates based on incomplete returns
from the various sources of revenue
the country over. This amount far
exceeded the expectations of Secretary
MacVeagh, who months ago estimated
that the surplus would be $40, $50. 900.
The surplus at the close of the fiscal
year 1911 was $45, 682, 900.
The failure of congress to pass gen.
eral deficiency and other appropriation
bills which would have called for large
disbursements during the closing days
Of the fiscal year helped the govern
ment to pile up it's surplus.
Another big element in the figures
was the corporation tax, which, it is
calculated, brought in $27, OO0, 900,
against $33, 600, 900 last year.
Custom receipts yielded about $780,
600, 000 this fiscal year, against $314,-
600, 000a last year, while internal reve-
nue. taxes amounted to 1922, 600, 600,
as against $3.50, 600, 900.
The taxation on beer indicates that
American people consumed sc, 900, 900
barrels during the year. The govern
ment realized $149, 600, 900 on distilled
spirits, 500, 600, 900 on beer and $780,
600, cocoon tobacco.

Track From Underwood to Be Laid

Husum = Rumors are current that
active construction work will begin
next week on a railroad from the
North Bank at Underwood to the sites
of the power plant and dam of the
Northwestern Electric company. a
distance of three miles from the
mouth of the White Salmon. It is
stated on good authority that Porter
Brothers and promoters of the pro-
posed line met in Portland this week,
when final arrangements were made to
build the road.
There will be several thousand tons
of material to be hauled to the dam
site and power plant, and as the
Northwestern company has withdrawn
all bids for transporting the bulk of
material for constructing the dam, the
building Of short line railroad up the
river comes as no surprise to those
who have been following the move

HAT PLUSH DUTY LOWER.
Women's Rights to Be Protected BY
Assistant-Secretary Curtis.

Washington, D. C.-"The rights of
women are secure in the Treasury
department." So said Assistant Sec
rotary Curtis in wiping out big dis
elimination against women's hats in
the Interpretation of the tariff acts.
Hatters' plush, used exclusively for
the manufacture of mems silk hats,
has been admitted to the United
States at 10 per cent duty. Other
such plush has paid 45 per cent. OF
late hundreds of thousands of women 3
hats, by fashions decree, have been
made out Of matters plush. Because
of the peculiar wording of the tariff
act, some collectors of customs, in
cases where the plush was used for
women's hats, have assessed 45 per
cent, while that plush used for the
dress hat of an American gentleman
paid only 10 per cent.
''The cost of women's hats is high
enough" said Curtis, deciding that
the quality of the plush should be
made the basis of assessment, whether
it went to man or woman.

of his rich mine, but take it from me
that the stuff is there, she continued.
"He's been a wild Death Valley

runs low he always knows where to

Mrs. Scott declares that she has
herself been at the mine, has seen the

condition that he tell where the fam.
GUS jewels stolen from Mrs. Eugene dc
Saba the night Of the Mardi Gras ball
IN San Francisco are hidden. The
offer to REESE was made through Chief
OF Police Wilson and Chief of Detec.

Jewels are insured for $50, 900 and
That reward Of $4,000 is offered for
their recovery.
They offered to divide with REESE if

had no hand in the De Saba robbery.
Officers know that REESE, Paul Sobie
and Margaret Ward Manners were in
San Francisco at the time of the rob-
berry at the st. Francis hotel. Thew
claim they have knowledge that Riese
knows where the jewels are hidden.
There is nothing to be gained by
keeping anything back, :" said Riese to
the officers. 81 have come through

diamonds or of the crime would tell
it. Ten thousand dollars is lot of
money, but l cannot get it because I
don't know about the De Saba affair. !"
Riese would make no further state
ment. Paul Sobie, his accomplice in
the other robberies, is held for trial
on a charge of grand larceny. The
woman was released, but is under sur
