WAR SUMMARY.
Again the operations along the western
front in France are being carried out
mainly by the artillery wings Of the bel
ligerents. The infantry activity. what lit
tie there is Of II, is by patrol parties In
which only small bits Of territory have been
attacked. In one Of these minor attack
the Canadians have occupied an addi-
tional trench astride the Lens-Arras road,
but in another attempt to bite further into
the Lens sector they were repulsed, ac-
cortiing to the German war office.
Reciprocal bombardments Of consider
| able intensity continue to prevail along
| the Aisne front. and in Champagne. and
| there has also been a renewal of the big
gunflre in the Avocourt sector, northwest
Of Verdun.
In the Asiago plateau sone Of the
Austro-Italian theatre the Austrian artil.
lery has hammered to pieces positions
taken recently by the Italians and re.
occupied them. The fighting was on
Monte Ortigara and the Austrians assert
that they captured more than $500 pris.

PAY BIG INHERITANCE TAX
Estate of James n. Moore Assessed
1854, 350-Biggest Part of Property
Taxable in Wisconsin.

Madison-The largest Inheritance
tax ever levied on any estate in Wis
consin was fixed when the tax commits
sion announced that the state had as
sessed the estate of James Hobart
Moore, the Chicago fnancier, S346,350.
The estate of Mr.. Moore is valued by
the commission at $12,160,000. If the
tax is paid within the year, a per
cent discount will be made, which
would leave the amount due at $780,
1873.
OF this amount the state gets 921a
per cent, or $320,173, and the county
gets the remainder, or S25.960. The
state money goes into the general
fund.
The Moore estate with the exception
of about $125,000 in real estate, con-
sists of personal property, mostly
stocks and bonds. All of this property
is taxable in Wisconsin, with the ex-
ception of railroad stock, which is tax
able in the state wherein the railroad
is incorporated.
The next largest inheritance tax
ever paid in Wisconsin was that levied
on the estate of ames S. Kennedy,
New York, and amounting to $780,
600. The estate of Lord Strathcona
paid tax of $4,000.

MUCH TRAPPING BEING DONE
Many Valuable Pelts Are Gathered by
Traders Along Shore of Lake

Fond du Lac-The muskrat and

So furious is the hunt for the furred

industry in Fond du Lac county. Re

during a trip along the east shore OF
Winnebago between here and Oshkosh.
One Oshkosh concern recently re-

skins. There is still some mink trap
ping, but the mink are becoming
scarce, and the greater number OF
these skins are taken at points farther
north. Even rabbit hides are finding
a market now. Another furred animal
that is disappearing in this section is
the raccoon.
