Reply to HOmesteader.

Ed. Journal: In late issue of The
Journal homesteader gives his views
Of taxation 1t depends on how you
look at things, and as one Of the tax
payers in Lincoln county, and having
the same taxes to pay as the home
steader, would like to say a word
from another standpoint. First, as to
hardships and privations and danger
GUS risks, presume there is not much
odds between us. We each one choose
our lots, and most of us had some idea
of what was involved before we under
took them, and also whether or not we
wanted to do what we are doing, and
whether 1t would pay US.
Holding a government claim for
three years that will sell for from
ten to twenty thousand dollars when
patented is a matter OF business, and
not of sentiment, We have some men
here at the lifesaving station who take
real risks and endure real prlvations
for little more than bare living, but
they are not bidding for sympathy or
begging for pity. According to the
"Homesteader's" tax statement, he has
claim valued by the assessor at six
thousand dollars for his three years
work, and It is now more than likely
II could be sold at any time at the rate
Of one dollar per thousand stumpage,
and propably would bring more than
fifteen thousand dollars at that AS to
the taxes which he tabulates; Newport
school tax, mills; Toledo road tax, 4
mills Toledo port tax, 2h mills;
state and county, 2h mills, will say
the school tax is not excessive, five
mills for maintenance and two mills
for building There is no school with
in 20 miles Of Newport on the north or
16 miles on the south, and the Newport
school has always taken care Of all
the school children in that territory.
They are in the Newport school dis
trict, and live more than two miles
from the school house Their board
lis paid by the district This is the only
arrangement that can be made under
the circumstances whereby the chill
dren in that territory can be Insured
an opportunity to get an education.
The two mill tax on building this year
IA necessltated by the increase In the
school population, Of so pupils, requir.
ling two more school rooms, and two
more teachers. This may not occur
again for long time, but II II should
occur again next year there would
have to be more room and more teach
ers again. I think ! am safe in saying
that. with a like condition, no other
ldIstrict would make any better show
ling and at the same time have first
class school, as Newport has, and pay
.lboard for all outside pupils As to

SCIENTIFIC WRINKLE
REMOVER EASILY MADE

(From Ladies' Favorlte Magazine }
A few dermatologists have long
held the secret that a certain pro-
duct, known to the drug trade as
saxolite, had the proeprty when used
in solution, of instantly reducing
wrinkles. Any one can readily make
this same solution by dissolving an
ounce Of powdered saxollte in half
pint Of witch hazel. Battle the face
in this-and note the immediate
transformation The skin tlghteas,
becomes tirmer-deepest wrinkles at
once begin TO smooth out. This ac-
ton will of course also reduce hang
ing cheeks or double chin
When the hands show signs of ag-
ing, the skin becoming coarse,
creased or abnby, bathe them in the
solution. Since the recent publica-
tIon Of this formula, men and women
all over the country have taken ad-
vantage Of the information, accord
ing to reports, with most satisfactory
results.

Mann WOULD DISREGARD
HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY
Favors Free Passage of
American Ships Through
Panama Canal.

Disregard Of the HayPauncefote treaty
was openly advocated today by Minority
Leader Mann when the House resumed
consideration of the Panama canal ad-
ministration bill. Mr.. Mann admitted
that failure to carry out the exact
terms Of the international pact with
Great Britain might force the matter
into some tribunal, but he commended
that no nation would fail to uphold the
United States in it's decision to permit
its warships' and its merchant marine to
pass through the canal without the i'm
position of toll charges.
Mr.. Mann reviewed what. he termed
the "absurdity' of American war vessels
paying tolls which would be turned into
the United States Treasury. and in turn
repaid to the warshps. This, he said
was mere rigamarole." The same prac-
tice, he declared, held good with the
American merchant marine.
Former Speaker Cannon expressed the
same views.

WANT FRANCHISE Defeated
War Department Engineers Com
municate With Senator Gal
linger on Subject.
WANT FRANCHISE DEFEATED

Fearful for the safety Of the auueduc,
that supplies the National CAPITAL with
water. of1cials of the War Department,
are opposed to giving the Georgetown
Gas Light Company a franchise to lay q
gas main along the Conduit road from
the Foxhall road to the District line, as
proposed in a bill introduced by Senate,
Overman Of North Carolina.
In a letter to Senator GaIlinger. chair
man of the Senate District committee,
they declare that they do not want the
pavement Of the road torn up. as it would
have to be IL a gas main were to be laid
along it. and that they fear it might en-
danger the safety of the aqueduct.
The gas company applied to the War
Department for permission to lay a main
along the Conduit road from FoxhaIl road
to Chain bridge road last August.
Application Denied.
This application was denied by the
department" Lieut.. Col. w. C. Langfitt
engineer officer in charge of the local en-
gineer Office, has written Senator Calm
ger. because there was no authority Al
law for granting such permit, and also
because of the destructive effect which
the laying of gas pipe would have upon
the road, together with many cross con-
nections to the various houses, and for
the further reason that it was possible
that such excavations and the operations
of the Gas Light Company might prove
inimical to the safety of the aqueduct.
There is no doubt that the Conduit
road is the most direct and economical
route for the gas company, but 1t is pos
sible for 1t to lay mains on other existing
or proposed streets and so carry its mains
and distributing pipes so as to reach the
property along such portions of the Con-
duit road at which there will likely be
to come without crossing the Conduit
road reservation.
Though such course will involve
more expense to the gas company, 1t
will avoid all the objections which
arise when a gas main in the Conduit
eddy also save the government in the
cost of road maintenance.
The reasons for denying the 'applica-
tion are as potent as they were last
cumstances of the case it is recon-
mended that the bill be not passed"
Would Protect Water Supply.
w. H. Bixby. chief of engineers, sees
the chief reason against the passage
of the bill in the protection of the
water supply of the city of Washing
ton.
I'm the view of the chief of engineers"
he says, 1.-The water supply of Washing
ton should on no account be exposed to
the hazards which would attend the
construction and maintenance of gas
mains in the Conduit road
The War Department officials also ask
that in the future they be asked for
recommendations in connection with any
proposed legislation affecting the Wash
fngton aqueduct.
