A story of fabulously rich gold
mines, Of fortunes written In six
figures, and Of finance worthy OF 2
WallinRford will be unfolded In the
federal court at Topeka this fali,
when N. o. Hultberg Of Turlock,
California, on behalf Of the Swedish
Mission Covenant OF America, at
tempts to enforce the collection OF
a s264 900 judgment against Peter
II. Anderson, granted In the Dick
inson county court in 1907.
Peter H. Anderson went to Alaska
in 1897, from North Park College,
Chicago, in the employ OF the Mis-
sion Covenant, to spread knowledge
and christianity among the benighted
Eskimos at the mission OF ChiniK'
near Nome, the capital OF the terri
tory. Hultberg, the defendant In the
suit now in the courts was In charge
of the mission. He left for America
and Sweden.
In 1898, while he was absent
gold was discovered in the valley
of a creek near Nome. Anderson
was in charge of the mission. A party
staked out number of claims, one
in the name of Anderson, and two
IN the names OF Constantine ana
Gabriel. Eskimos in care of the mis-
sion, who had piloted the party to
the spot where the gold was hidden.
Here is where the Wallingford
finance comes in. A man by the
name of Price, claiming % years
experience as a placer miner In Cal
ifornia, advised the party that had
staked out the claims that those
taken in the name Of Constantine
and Gabriel we're not valid, because
the Eskimos we're not citizens o.
the United States. Then the mel
suggested changing the titles to TN
church, a corporation. This, too
said the placer miner from Califor
MIA, is not legal. So claim numbe
eight, one of the two belonging Y
the Eskimos. for. the interest Of th
church, was transferred TO Price \
payment for his advice. He tool
million dollars worth of gold ou
OF the twenty acres, and his advic
was all wrong.
The other Eskimo claim was takel
out by Anderson for the mission
and from this fact grew up the hti

Because she was disobedient ano
refused to stay at home, Mrs. Bertha
Patton of TaImage caused her fif-
teen-year-old daughter, Winnie to

What a Potlatch Button Means

The sale of 10000 potlatch buttons
Ycould be the means of sending $1,000
TO the flood sufferers in this and other
states! Is not this a result worth con-
tending for? Every humane citizen
will certainly answer, yes.
And the fact, too, that the revival
of the Indian festival of the original
inhabitants, the Creeks and Cherokees,
will 90 on side by side with charity,
should help some-prosperity for the
home town and charity for the victims
of the surging waters.
Let us then take hold as COM
munity of the proposition to consum-
mate the sale of $4,000 potlatch but
tons. Certainly in population OF a
quarter of a million a market can be
found for $4,000 buttons that spell
both Prosperity and Charity. Ii one
person in 10 buys button the task
will be accomplished, and Birmingham
will hold its festival and it will send
away $4,000 to aid the people in the
stricken districts. Let us all to the
last citizen agree that we will do 1t.

Lobby interview in The Age-Herald a

the month of April got its name" said
young resident of East Lake.
Il have often wondered why it is that
on April l most of my acquaintances
seem to think they have carte blanche SO
far as familiarity with me personally is
concerned. The party referred to above
failed to state why April is a day upon
which innocent, and otherwise, practical
jokes are played. While glancing through
Rand, McNally & Co.'S encyclopedias |
found that the custom of sending one
upon a bootless errand on the first day
of April has been supposed to be trav-
esty on the sending hither and thther Of
the Savior from Annas to Caiaphas, and
from PLATE to Berod, because during the
middle ages this scene in Christs life
was made the subject of miracle play
at Easter, which usually occurs in April.

more advocates an income tax but 1t
is silent as to choice between a flat
rate on all incomes and tax graded
according to the size of the income.
The fair presumption is that a
graded tax will be reported, because
about s1OO, ,0O0,O must be raised an
nually by direct taxation if the price
of living is to be cut down and the
robberies in the Payne-Aldrich sched-
ules weeded out. The democratic plat
form demands a lower cost of living
and lower tariff rates. Should sugar
be put on the free list-and it surely
should be-a graded income tax would
become almost assured.
But speculation is useless. The sew
enth of April is near at hand, and an
income tax will soon be reported. The
best skill in the democratic party will
be applied to it from that of President
Wilson and Majority Leader Under
wood down to the rank and file of the
party. A graduated income tax is not
at this writing a certainty, but it is
probability. Mr.. Burke will have to
await the extra session, as all the
rest of us will have to do.
