WELL KNOWN STOCKMAN
CROSSES DIVIDE

The San Francisco Examiner con-
tains an account OF the death of Jas.
Cotton. one of the best known beef
buyers in the west. Mr.. Cotton was
for number of years connected with
the Western Meat company of San
Francisco, and every year he used to
spend couple OF months in this sec
ton. He was good natured, whole
souled fellow and made many friends
wherever he went.
He had been ill for several months
and his death while sudden was not
unexpected. His body was found in
his bed at the Stanford Hotel. He had
passed away during the night.
Mr.. Cotton was Britisher and he
often joked about his nationality. In
speaking he always dropped the III
and this seemed to emphasize his
ever-ready wit and good nature. 1t
is told of him that last spring his
physician told him he would give him
until the Fourth of July to live. Cot
ton replied: ':Bloomin' ell doctor,
that's bloody mean of you. It's a
ard thing for Britisher to die in
American on the Fourth of July"
Another time when Mr.. Cotton was
complaining about bad stomach to a
friend he said that he believed it was
principally caused by drinking whisky,
but that he had found il hard to cut.
out his toddies. The friend told him
that if he would just eat an apple
whenever he felt like taking a drink
that it would relieve the desire. Cot
tons prompt reply was: Yes, but
who the bloomin' ell wants 10 eat
Il -undred apples day"
Jim will be missed by his many
friends. He was jolly companion,
honest as the day. and charitable to
a fault. On the other side may he
find life happiness.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-The ad-
ministration is wrestling with prob
lens. as 1t is facing a deficit OF fifty
millions. and is attempting to put
through a preparedness program that
will cost billion dollars. Methods
favored for filling the empty purse
are tax on war profits, a national
inheritance tax, an increased income
tax. tax on luXuries and the issuance
of bonds. In the meantime despite the
increasing prosperity, nationwide
bankers issue warnings against the
danger of imitation because of the
temptation TO speculate on account of
cheap money.
II is believed that the government
will secure most of the money needed
by taxing war profits but there is a
difficulty in finding way.

Tsau-son recently printed a letter in
all the Chinese papers saying that the
fund was started with a good object
which has been defeated by the recent
upheavaI in politics and that the
money given to the fund must be re-
turned to the donors. He also says
that he will take legal steps, if neces-

Yu Ya-ching, the chairman of the
committee which is handling the fund
and Ma Tsau-sOn have had much cor

subscribers who save their money to
help to strengthen the republic and
have no sympathy with the movement
