This is good thing for Mr. Gilks.
Fans are easily spoiled these days,

WAR TAX UNNECESSARY.
That Is the Opinion Of Senator Brady
and He Tells Why.

There is absolutely no reason why
congress should levy war tax upon
the people of the United States at this
time, when the United States is not al
war. but enjoys peaceful relations with
every nation on EARTH" declared Sen
ator j. H. Brady of Idaho, in comment
ing upon the Underwood emergency
bill, now pending. But for the fact
that the democratic party has shown
itself incapable of managing the af-
fairs of government in business-l like
manner, there would be no excuse for
the war tax. If, in revising the tariff
last year, the democratic congress had
left a reasonable duty on the products
Of the farm, instead of placing them
on the free list, we would today have
revenue enough in the treasury to con-
duct the government, and there would
have been no deficit But in addition
to reducing the customs revenues to
an unsafe point, the democratic con.
gress has been extravagant in its APP
preparations. 1t has created new bur-
eaus and new offices on every hand
The records plainly show that we are
going behind at the rate of millions
and millions of dollars every month,
and there would have been deficit of
one hundred million dollars by Janu-
airy /. even If there had been no war
in Europe. The appropriations made
at the present session of congress ex-
ceeded those Of the last session of a
congress by $100,000,000
which, of ITSELF explains the treasury
deficit now charged up against the war
in Europe. The tax about to be lev
led is not in reality war tax, but a
democratic deficiency tax"

ARTHUR STEWART VISITS WAL.
LAcE-HoW HE WON FOR.
TUNE IN FAR NORTH.

Some 1S or 20 years ago wher
Kingston was at the height Of it,
glory az the center Of the timber In
dustry, Arthur Stewart was one Of
the best known and most successful
men engaged In the business. This
same Arthur Stewart. after spending
q couple OF days In Kingston, dropped
into wallace last Monday looking no,
much older than he did 20 years ago
and certainly having lost nothing OF
his genial temperament. Old ac-
Quaintances were not very numerous,
but he received most cordial well
come from the few. He now resides
in Seattle.
As early as 1895 the reports of gold
on the Yukon attracted him and lie
went to Circle City. Alaska. He was
there in 1895 when the gold was dis
covered on the Klondike He lost no
time In getting to the new Eldorado
and secured some very valuable
ground. He knew that when the Won
derful richness Of the diggings be-
came known to the outside world there
would be a stampede of gold hunters
such as had not been seen in many
years, and with sagacity born of ex-
perience In the Occur d'Alenes he laid
his plans to profit by It, Having Sc
cured good ground in the new diggings
he hiked over tho White Horse trail
to the coast and took the first steamer
for Seattle. There the news Of the
wonderful discovery had preceded him
and the coming Of early spring was
awaited with feverish excitement by
a motley throng that was rapidly In
creasing. with the assistance Of his
brother he worked out his plans, and
the first boat to leave Seattle for the
north in the early spring of 1897 had
Arthur Stewart aboard with cargo
of about everything in the way of sup
plies that would be needed by miners
In the far north. 1t was no job for
faint hearted man to get these goods
packed over White Pass, shoot them
down White Horse rapids and finally
land them in the far away camp, but
Mr. Stewart was equal to the task No
body kicked on the high cost Of living
up there, and Mr.. Stewart cleaned up
his stock at prices that netted better
than some Of the bonanza claims At
the same time he was thawing the
gravel and taking out gold from his
placer ground, and when he had work
ed It out few seasons later he was
able to retire to more congenial
cline with a comfortable fortune
