Thousands of people will be called
upon to pay income taxes in 1918
who have heretofore been entirely
exempt in this class of taxation.
October 3, 1917, Congress passed
law reducing the exemption of sin
gle persons to $1,000. and to married
persons, $4,000, while still permit
ting the income tax laws of Septem-
ber 8, 1916, to remain on the stat
ute books.
Many of the people who will pay
their income tax for the first time on
or before June Is, 1918, are at pres
ent in doubt as to the workings of
the two laws, while others do not un-
derstand the full details Of the
measures.
The government insists, however
that all, unless coming within the
list of those who are exempt, shall
obtain proper forms from the rev.
enue collectors of their district upon
which shall be prepared a true and
correct statement of gross incomes,
less allowable deductions, and the
proper amount of the tax made, and
that returns be made to the internal
revenue collectors on or before the
first day of March, A91S.
Return Schedules Early
AS a matter of fact, it will be well
to return schedules before the time
limit. In the event of there being

Successful Winter Trip
to the Seal Islands

The Government steamship Roose-
welt is on her way to Seattle with a
full cargo of sealskins, seal meat, and
other products from the Seal Islands
having successfully carried out the
novel and dangerous task of carry
ing coal and other supplies to the
islands in the midle of the winter.
Commissioner ii. NJ. Smith of the
Bureau of Fisheries, Department OF
Commerce, reports that as a result OF
the trip the natives are well fortified
against the severe weather that has
already set in and will be much
more comfortable and contented in
consequence. Great difficulty was en-
perienced in unloading supplies and
taking on the island products, as the
Bearing Sea was constantly swept by
tempeStuous winds.
The return cargo consists OF 4,25S
Sealskins, and various casks of corned
seal meat and other products, as well
as $500 sacks of bones which will
weigh between 100000 and 100000

NAVAL ESTABLISHMENTS.

Washington, Jan. 2. - For many
years there have been few additions
to the number of Navy Yards and
stations in the United States, but the
war has made necessary a consider
able increase in our facilities for con-
Quoting naval operations.
The naval aircraft factory at Phil
adelphia, Pa, and the naval operat-
ing base at Hampton Roads, Va,
have recently completed and are now
in full commission. In course of pre-
paration are a naval training sta
ton at Gulfport, Miss, and submarine
bases at New London, Conn, and
San Pedro. Cal. 1t will be noted that
these two submarine bases are so
situated as to add to- the defense of
both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Located close to supplies of steel and
coal is the projectile plant at hairless
ton, w. Va, which is expected to be
in operation soon after January /
The buildings erected for the expo
sition at San Diego, al, are serving
a further use as a training station
for the Navy, and thousands of Uncle
Sans recruits are being made into
sea fighters with these artistic struct-
ures as a base.

| This normal tax continues on all in
, come, and Is frequently referred tc
as war tax.
On reaching a net income of S.
| 600, all excess then becomes subject
to additional war taxes, while both
normal taxes, now reaching pei
cent, continue through all income.
Deductions on the normal tax oi
dividends received is deductable for
residents and citizens of the United
States, but surtaXes and war taxes
must be paid on dividends.
The tax on $1,000 of net income
after exemption at per cent would
be $50 for a single person, on $4,000
net income, $40; on $4,000 net in
come, $50, and on $4,000 net income
$50, after which the normal tax be-
comes per cent, so that on $4,000
single person would pay Sd2O nor
NAL tax.
A married person, living with wife
or husband, with an income of $2,-
600 does not have to pay an income
tax, but must file a schedule, set
ting forth the sources of income and
deductions.

At this point the normal tax of
per cent, under the act of October
8, becomes effective throughout the
rest OF income, with a series of wal
taxes, on a graduated scale, which
Will be explained later.
A person with an income OF $1,000,
If single, is not subject to the in
come tax but is obligated to prepare
and file n schedule of income.
The penalties for neglect to file
schedules and pay taxes under the
income tax laws are very heavy, the
more so if any intent to defraud the
Government is indicated.
The Government does not except
excuses based on ignorance of the
law.
So important is the matter con-
sidered that agents of the internal
revenue bureau will be sent into
country towns and other places TO
eXpound the doctrine of the income
tax law and to furnish voluminous
primers covering various phases OF
the law.
How to Determine Tax
One of the simplest ways of rec
ognizing the two laws in force and
to find the tax of a person with a
$1,000 income follows:

Person. Tax. Person. Tax.

ENLIST COOKS.

Cooks proverbially reign supreme
in times of peace, but their import
ant status in an army going to war
was revealed the other day when the
soldiers suddenly. found themselves
without adequate support in the regi-
sent to the U. S. Public Service Re
serves of the department of Labor.
In four days the Reserve had made
the boys happy again with three
hundred talented cooks recruited
from the best city hotels and restau-
rants. A thousand hotel managers
and nine hundred cooks had been
personally, appraised of the army's
shortage by J. l.. Raffetto and other
special agents of the Reserve. The
response was immediate. The cooks
showed themselves ready to do their
bit, and the thorough patriotism of
the hotel managers was demonstrat-
ed by their offers to give up their
entire kitchen staffs, IL the army
wanted, and replace them with wo-

MISS o'RoURKE RESIGNS.
II Came as a Real Surprise to the
Public Generally.

Shoshone county lost its most pop
ular official in the resignation of Miss
Kathryn O'Rourke. county treasurer,
which was announced last Monday.
The announcement came as a real
surprise for her services had proved
most acceptable to the public and
from a political standpoint she was
regarded by the opposition at least as
being about the most valuable asset
claimed by the democratic party Of
Shoshone county. No public reason
has been given for her unexpected ac-
ton, but it is believed 1t was due to
the refusal of the commissioners to
make fair allowance for clerical help
in the treasurer's office. Byron Defen-
bach & Sons, public accountants Of
Boise, Idaho, who are now making an
examination of the books of all the
county officers, had just completed an
examination of the treasurer's Office
They found all books in excellent con
dition and highly complimented Miss
O'Rourke on the splendid showing.

Stockholders to Receive First Pay

representing the first payment for the
respective properties under the bond

development is now being carried out.
The old Carbonate Hill tunnel is be-
ing enlarged and constructed on new
grade, and when this work is COM

ground preparatory to sinking 1000
feet. Hosting and other machinery
is now on the ground. The old Snow

LARGE FUNERAL.
Hosts Of Friends Follow Remains Of
Joseph Murphy to Final Rest.

Not in many years has there been a
funeral in this city that attracted such
large attendance as that which as
sembled in this city last Tuesday to
pay the last tribute of respect to JOS
eph Murphy, of Burke. The deceased
was a pioneer Of the district, although
since his first arrival his adventur-
Gus spirit had carried him to distant
climes which gave him a varied eX-
perience quite uncommon even among
miners who are ever risking all in
quest of mineral wealth in the remote
corners of the earth. Mr.. Murphy
had for many years made his home in
Burke, and the esteem in which he was
held in that community was attested
by the great number from there and
other points in the canyon who at
tended his funeral. The Burke school
was dismissed and business generally
was suspended. The floral tributes
were numerous and most beautiful,
The funeral services were conducted
by Father Purcell. Mr.. Murphy was
a brother of John f. Murphy, county
commissioner, and James j. Murphy,
superintendent of the Hercules mine.

International.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. c. McAndrews were
Wallace visitors the first of the week.
Mr.. McAndrews is giving his personal
attention to the management Of the
International, situated on the west
fork Of Pine creek. A thorough ex-
animation Of the property was recent
ly made by Fred Merriam, mining en-
gineer Of this city, and acting upon
his recommendation Mr.. McAndrews
has started on plan of development
that promises to make a mine of the
International at no very distant date.
Considerable ore has already been en-
countered on the property. and all in
dications point to the existence of a
large ore body particularly at the in
tersecton of two veins which make a
most favorable showing on the sur
face.

Canvass OF District.
During the last days of the third
Liberty bond drive the Boy Scouts
paign by making a house to house
canvass in order to secure all sub
scriptions which might have been
overlooked by the general soliciting
committees and to accommodate those
who may feel disposed to increase
their subscriptions. This work is be-
ing undertaken by the scouts upon the
personal request of President Wilson,
who has repeatedly shown his high
appreciation Of the war work of the
scouts. In the first and second bond
drives the Boy Scouts secured sub
scriptions amounting to over $125,000,-
900 from over 100000 individual sub
scribers. The Importance Of their
work has been recognized by Secre-
tary McAdoo who has issued letter
commencing the Boy Scouts and call
ing upon them for special service at
this time. In the former drives scouts
securing 10 subscriptions, without re-
gard to amounts. were given bronze
medals. These will be awarded un-
der the same conditions in the present
drive. Those who have already Sc
cured medals and who win the award
this time will be given an additional
bar for their medals in recognition OF
their service

BULLION.
Company Expects to Begin Work on
Property This Week.

James H. Taylor. manager Of the
Bullion Mining company, and John
Ferguson, bookkeeper for the COM
pany, went over to the property last
Friday, returning Saturday. Work
was suspended late last summer on
account of water shortage. All sup
plies were stored in the tunnel for safe
keeping, the roof being shot down to
ranging to begin operations and this
trip was made to see what supplies
were on hand and the buildings in
shape for the accommodation of the
men. 1t was found that nothing had
been molested. There is sufficient
powder and provisions on hand for
present requirements and it is expect
ed that force of men will be at work
within the next few days. The Bull
lion Is situated on the Idaho side of
the Idaho Montana divide, but to
reach the property one goes to Borax,
Mont, from which there is a trail
back into Idaho over the divide.
Messrs. Taylor and Ferguson found it
necessary to make part of the trip on
snowshoes. On the summit the snow
is about 8 feet deep, although at the
pass where the railroad crosses there
is no snow. Returning they came by
way of Taft. but for what deponent
saith not.

Officers Of Company Inspect Property
on Beaver Creek.

on Beaver Creek.
M. c. Flannery, president of the
Dreadnaught Mining company, and j.
F.. Codd, vice president, both of Spo-
kane, arrived in Wallace last Satur-
day and on Sunday visited the prop
erty Of the company on Beaver creek
in company with William J. j. Smith,
manager. They We're evidently well
pleased with the progress of develop
ment and the outlook for soon encoun-
tering an ore body. The present work
Is the extension of drift to get un-
der surface showing of ore upon
which shaft has been sunk about II
feet and which shows about a foot of
ore in the bottom. The face of the
drift is now getting under the out
crop in which there is more or less
lead and zinc. for a distance of about
800 feet. The face of the drift has
strong indications of approaching an
ore body and Mr.. Smith says he is eX-
pecting to strike it any day. This tun-
mel will give a depth of at least $50
feet. The company is well equipped
for development and rapid progress is
being made, Last month the drift
was advanced 300 feet.
