100000 LIQUOR TAX
WILL BE COLLECTED FROM wYo
MING WAREHOUSES;.
State Will Probably Contribute Larger
Federal War Tax Than Any Other
Western State.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cheyenne.-More than 81, OOO, 900 in
war tax will be collected by the Unit
ed States government on whisky now
stored in liquor houses and ware.
houses of Wyoming, according to Har-
vey H. Slusslers, federal revenue
agent in Denver. A tax of s2.1O a
gallon will be levied on SOC, 900 gallons
of whisky in Wyoming, which is
owned by persons in that state, Colo
RADIO and Utah.
A corps of federal internal revenue
agents have been in Wyoming for
weeks hunting out the storehouses
where whisky is kept. They have
discovered thousands of gallons of it
in Western Wyoming, shipped there
from Utah when that state went dry
by persons who believe that the sale
of whisky will again be permitted in
the Mormon state.
Wyoming, with 100000 gallons OF
whisky in storage, probably will con
tribute a federal war tax larger than
any other Western state In proportion
to population.

Past the poor 'dobe houses, through
the doors of which you get glimpses
of family life ~unpleasantly intimate,
we go into the Via Diabolo, called by
Jack London the wickedest slum in

Gaming houses are the staple Sun

men and women rim the tables, the lot.
terry booths, the wheels of fortune
and, to judge by most of the patrons,
of misfortune-that fill the barnlike
shacks.
One man In five is some sort of sol.
der, wearing some sort of fragmentary
uniform.
Poverty and squalor.
Notice the rakish cartridge belts
some worn straight around in rows,
some over one shoulder, some over
both crossed back and front. Ammu.
milton is debited to the men, and they
have to take care of It'll The begrimed
fellows, with the bits of leather
thonged about their bare feet, with
dirty serapes on their shoulders, are
of the piteous peon class.
You have seen poverty and squaloi
at home, but never such as thisl The
poor at home at least work in the hope
of overcoming their wretchedness
Here all is sodden. No opportunity,
no ambition, no hope at all.
There are a few prosperous gamblers
In the gaming dens who serve to set Oh
the sinister raggedness of the rest
Sinister, because everyone totes q
gun, sometimes a rifle, and appears
to appraise thirstily the modest jewel

pocketflap.

Oil Money in Liberty Bonds.

Cheyenne.-With the cooperation
of the oil operators affected, Secre-
tary Lane arranged for the investment
in Liberty bonds of more than $780,
900 deposited in escrow in national
banks Of Denver, Cheyenne and Cas-
per. The money was deposited pur-
suant to government contract with op-
orators in the Salt Creek and Grass
Creek oil fields in Wyoming whereby
a proportion Of the proceeds for sales
of oil were impounded pending a de-
termination OF the title to the lands
involved.

That wooden tumble over there to
the left is the market. Note the Mexi-
can women on the ground, shawls to
the eyes (they believe all illness comes
from something in-breathed hence the
covered mouths) selling stuff.
The fiapjacks they claw from a buck
ct and stuff into the palm Of the pas
serby are tortillas, Mex bread. They
are not considered shopworn because
the customer finds them wanting in
quality, but are casually slapped back
again into their receptacle.
Apparently the wearing qualities of
tortillas are excellent. You have seen
a limp stack of them examined and
rejected by half a dozen prospective
purchasers, yet they look scarcely
frayed, and are still quite salable.
Hear the music? Guitars, tambour-
ines and voices. A group of greaser
lads are playing, half for sheer love

There is a government bathhouse by
the river bank, where certain cere-
monies must be performed by the
rebellious citizens of Juarez before
they can commute regularly into Ell

whipped cream was usede so as to
cause the kitten to eat the "soap'

ed it was overlooked that certain
duties which everywhere and I'M
mistakably belong to that office had
been assigned to some other state
officials. The State Treasurer is
now saddled with administrative
computations and details in the
matter of ordering textbooks, in
the computation of apportionment
of the shares of the state dividend,
and in the matter of computing
payments due school districts for
the attendance of nonresident
pupils. These duties were assign
ed to the State Treasurer when
there was no Commissioner of Ed
ucation. The assignment was
proper and wise when made, of
course. Having such an official as
Commissioner of Education, how
ever, the unifcation and harmon
ization of the school system will
demand that these duties be as
signed where they logically and
necessarily belong, to the Commits
sioner of Education.
Again: in the general act of
1898 it is required that School
Districts in New Castle and Kent
Counties shall raise by taxation
the sum of one hundred (S100)
dollars for white schools and fifty
$500 dollars for colored schools
and in Sussex County the sum 0.
sixty $500 dollars for white
schools and thirty $500 dollar
for colored schools. In the act o
1901 prescribing the method o
apportioning the State Dividen,
among the schools these require
ments are stated: "In order to en-
title any school district to receiv
a share of said money so appor
toned such district shall hav
raised by taxation, or subscriptio
for school purposes during tn
previous year, if white distric
at least one hundred dollars fo
each teacher employed, and, if
colored school district, at leas

ment is obeyed; then Intelligent

conception and misunderstanding

Language builds up mighty business enter

language is used by the devout when they lift up
