We are led to believe that the school E X Il i bit on given by the Unalakleet School Friday evening and at night also was equal to any eyer rendered in Alaska. It would be quite difficult for pupils ill any school to do ere lit to the enselves and their teachers i.l more mecitorious inater. The lnale quartet of small boys singing all parts perfectly was the first ever given kerc It isl ceGiess to say it was appreciated. The original dia- logue, "Humbug" took the ho;ise.

NEARBY NOTES OF INTEREST

A male and female, instructors in
the tango and other modern dances,
held two sessions at u county seat
last week. 1t is reported that the wo-
man appeared in what is known as the
X-Ray dress, that is a thin lace skirt
through which her shapely limbs
shown clad in tights. And, as the
story goes, she vas required to stop
her instruction and put on a gown
made of a less transparent material.
Had the pair advertised themselves to
appear in an ~acrobatic stunt, the tights
with no covering whatever would
have been accepted as a matter OF
fact. And so it's the suggestion that
speaks the loudest, after all.-Tracy
Herald.

and a good rest will be just what he
needs. Mr.. Gordon came down Sun
day evening to Worthington and was
there over night, and was at the depot
waiting for his train to leave Monday
morning when the relief train came in
from the wrecked passenger about
seven miles south of Worthington
early that morning, and he helped to
carry some of the injured out. Said
it was a sight he will never forget, but
never wanted to repeat, and thought
a fellow passenger expressed it very
aptly when he said he would not have
missed the sight for $ 1000. and
wouldn't view another like it for So,
coo. The train was very lightly loaded
and ali steel coaches, or the loss of
life must have been large-Dell Rapids

determining what is net income. In
brief it is better to seek information
from this office than to run the risk
of violating the law. Any individual
will be instructed as to his or her
rights, and should seek instruction
either in person of by letter.
Corporations Too
Corporations must also have their
reports for the calendar year begin
ming January l, 1913, and ending De-
cember 81, 1913, in the hands of the
collector on or before March /, 1914.
Under the new law corporations are
allowed to designate the end of any
month in the year as the end of their
fiscal year for which to make reports,
by giving the collector notice thirty
days prior to the end of the month
they wish to designate as the end of
their fiscal year, but for 1913 corpora
ton reports must be made for the cal
endar year beginning January / and
ending December 81, 1913.
1t is hoped that a thorough canvas
of this district after the 1st of March
will fail to disclose any who have not
complied with the requirements Of the
law.
Respectfully,

District of No. and So. Kak.,

NOTICE IN REGARD TO INCOME
TAX
To All Concerned:

To All concerned:
l desire to call the attention of every
person liable to the Federal Income
Tax to the necessity of making a
sworn statement of his or her income
to the Collector of Internal Revenue
on or before the list day of March,
1914. This is a liability that attaches
to every person, man or woman, citi-
zens of the United States or alien
residents of the country, with a net
income of $4,000 or more for the last
ten months of the year ended Decem,
Der 81, 1913; and what is more, it is a
liability that attaches under sever
penalties for refusal to comply with
the law by making such a report. No
person is required to make this report
unless their net income for the last
ten months of the year, 1913, was ST.
500 or more.
Must Not Wait
The forms for return are now avail
able for distribution and will be sent
to all who apply for them. A supply
of these blanks will also be sent to
banks for distribution to their patrons
on request. 1t will not do for a per-
son with a taxable income to wait
until an invitation is extended by this
office before taking steps to obey the
law by obtaining blank form and pre-
pairing the required report. These per-
sons with taxable incomes who neglect
this responsibility will subject them,
selves to the penalties of the law, and
it will not be in order for them subse.
quently to plead that they were not
asked to file return.
Duty and Liability
My deputies will carefully canvas
the districts under my jurisdiction.
They will keep up the caRvas even
after the 1st of March, 1914, and they
will have ample authority to get the
information they seek. These taxable
persons located after that date will
have failed to obey the law, and will
be liable to its penalties. Let me men
ton these penalties for the informa-
ton of the public. The penalty for
failure to file a return of income with
in the time specified by law is from
500 to 81, 200. In the case of refusal
or neglect to render the return within
the required time, so per cent will be
added to the amount of the AK assess
ed. In the case of a false or fraudulent
return 100 per cen will be added to
the tax, and any person found guilty of
such with intent to defraud or evade
the law will be liable to a fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000, or Imprisonment not
exceeding one year, or may be both
fined and imprisoned. / request the
cooperation of the public, and have
called attention to the penalties pro-
vided by the law, not because l expect
attempt to evade the statute, but that
all may understand their duty and
liability.
Ask for Information
Let me emphasize that neglect or
refusal to file a return will be pen
allied. In other words, the law puts
the responsibility up to the individual,
and the government will hold the in
dividual to account. While no return
will be required of a person with net
income of less than $4,000 from March
1, 1913 to December 81. 1913, inclusive
still that person should be sure Of this
right Of exemption and deduction in

News is opposed to anything and
everything that tends toward popular
izing the saloon-hence we do not
favor a municipal saloon. The very
fact that money could be made from
the operating of a saloon is evidence
that with a certain class it would be-
come popular, because it would be a
means of raising money for public use
and consequently reduce their taxes.
But do you realize that that popular
ity would result in fastening a saloon
upon us for years to come? We are
not ready to concede that a majority
of De Smet people want the saloon in
our midst, regardless of the fact that a
majority of the voters so declared last
spring-may again do SO. But we
now have a fighting show to vote them
out, and with a municipal saloon the
thing would be a practical impossible
ity. No, If we are to have saloons let
the responsibility for evils they pro-
duce rest on the shoulders of the sa-
loonkeepers, and if there is any profit
to be derived from conducting such a
business they are welcome to it as far
as News Is concerned.-De Smet

The Blunt Advocate which recently
contained an account of the finding
of a skeleton in the hills east of Can
ming, where 1t had evidently been
buried several years ago. has this week
a report of Mr.. Wright, one of the
finders, receiving a letter from L. M.
Hovesson of Brandon, regarding it.
1t seems that Mr.. Hovesson had a
brother who took a claim in that vicin-
ity about thirty years ago. and worked
for a man named Canning, who after
a time wrote him that his brother had
been taken i'll and died very suddenly
ard was buried there. Hoversson now
believes that the brother probably met
with foul play and that the skeleton
found is probably his. He intends to

Henning Halvorson returned Mon
day afternoon from his two and a half
months visit with friends in the
Hcmet Valley in California, and he
has been almost "froze stiff since his
return as during the past week we
have been having some real winter,
while he has been accustomed to see
ing green grass, roses and other flow
ers and picking oranges from the trees
for a number of weeks past. There
is nothing too good for him to say of
the western state and he heartily en-
joyed every minute of his visit. He
brings home greetings from all old
Toronto residents, including the Uti-
CARDS, Eggens, Parishes, Stevensons,
Mrs. NJ. Quickstad and daughters, and
tells us hat all are living happy and
enjoying life. While enjoying Califor-
MAS wonderful climate he got the
fever and partially ~bargained for a
ranch" and we presume that it will
be impossible to keep him here much
longer.-Toronto Herald.

One of the most interesting cases
ever tried in this state, both from a
legal and personal standpoint, took
place at Granite Falls last week. Harry
Otos, of Wilmar, wha was injured in
September, 1912, while switching in
the yards at that place, having his leg
taken off and being otherwise serious
ly injured, was plaintiff and the Great
Northern Railway Company defend
ant. This case has attracted atten-
ton throughout the state and was
tried by Davis & Mitchell in the Fed
verdict of $50, 600. 90 for plaintiff. At
the time the verdict was rendered it
ttracted attention and was the sub
ject of comment in daily papers
throughout the entire west. Owing
not only to the size of the verdict but
to the fact that it was brought under
the provisions of a new United States
law, the case was a notable one. This
law provides that the cars of railroad
companies shall be equipped with au-
tomato couplers, which can be un-
coupled or coupled without the neces-
sity of men going between the ends of
the cars. In this case the pin-lifter on
one car was missing and Otos attempt
ed to uncouple the cars by going be,
tween them, when he was run over
and his leg taken off and he has been
a helpless cripple since.-Marshall
Reporter.
