1t is significant that the obituaries

case If the Red Sultan had departed

is not that the issues of the war have
swamped interest in the decease of a

shoot to the Skeena. I don't think it's
more than fifty or sixty miles to where
we can take to the water
They made better time on the west
ern slope, but the journey became a
matter of sheer endurance. Food was
scanty-four and salt and tea; with
meat and fish got by the way. And
the black flies and mosquitoes
swarmed about them maddeningly day
and night.
So they came at last to the Skeena,
and Hazers heart mfsgave her when
she took note OF its swirling reaches,
the sfnuous eddieS-a deep, swift,
treacherous stream. But Bill rested
overnight, and in the morning sought
and felled sizable cedar, and began
to hew. Slowly the thick trunk
shaped itself to the form of a boat
under the steady swing of his ak.
In week it was finished. They
loaded the sack of gold, the bundle of
furs, their meager camp outfit amid
ships. and swung off into the stream.
The Skeena drops fifteen hundred
feet in hundred miles. Wherefore
there are rapids, boiling stretches of
white water in which many a good
canoe has come to grief. Some Of
these they ran at imminent peril. Over
the worst they lined the canoe from
the bank. And in the second week
of July they brought up at the head
of Kspiox Canon. Hazelton lay a few
miles below. But the Kispiox stayed
them, a sluice box cut through old
stone, in which the waters ragged with
a deafening roar. No man ventured
into that wild gorge. They abandoned
the dugout. Bill slung the sack of
gold and the bale of furs on his back.
Its the last lap, Hazel" said he.
'Well leave the rest of it for the first
Siwash that happens along"
So they set out bravely to trudge
the remaining distance And as the
fortunes of the trail sometimes be-
fall, they raised an Indian camp on
the bank Of the river at the mouth of
the canon. A ten-dollar bill made
them possessors of another canoe, and
an hour later the roofs of Hazelton
cropped up above the bank.
''Oh, BILL" Hazel called from the
bow. "Looki There's the same old
steamer tied to the same old bank.

The propo- sition is for each team that secures 5000 worth of subscriptions to be awarded a scholarship for the full four-year term. Chairman White has devoted the entire week so far to his plans to go over the ton next week. and he states that he ia very much encouraged each day over the prospects for success, which get brighter and brighter each day.

THE A-B-C OF THE INCOME TAX
Second Lesson THIRD LESSON

You promised to tell me about the law
 Of 1917.
 A. The act of October 3. 1917. materially
 Increased the income and revenue taxes.
 It made a new low exemption for single
 men at 5000 and married people, living together. at 5000 These figures hold up to and after the time when you begin to
 pay income tax under the 1916 law. Illustrate that please.
 A. Well, suppose you have s1000 income after you have taken off all the de-
 auctions Uncle Sam allows you; you would not be called upon to pay tax,
 but would, as before stated, have to make return of it. Then on any excess of
 this s10t0 you would have to pay cents
 on each dollar. If you had s75 in excess you would have to pay S1.50 tax; if you had S1oo0 over the s1o0O exemption, you
 would have to pay SEQ; if you had s20oO
 over the exemption, you would have to
 pay $40; if 5000 over the exemption, you would pay $60; then, on all excess over
 tha. amount you would apply the rates of l 1916 in addition to the rates of 917. | How's that?
 l A. Suppose you had s4o0o net income after all deductions. Under the law of | 1917 you would have an exemption of but
 s10O0, so you would pay per cent on
 the excess or 5000. which would equal s6o.
 Now, the law of 1916 allowed you 5000 exemption. Subtract this from $4000 and you will find you have S100O on which you would be expected to pay per cent l or $20 which added to the $40 would
 make your total tax on s4000 net income
 $s0.
 That seems simple; does it continue? {? A Yes. It follows all net income. On
 net incomes in excess of s20000 the act of 191e fixes a graded scale of surtax. What about oyer $4Ooo net income-say,
 5000 net?
 l A. You, being single, should first de- duct $1oO0 under the 1917 act, which will show you that you have per cent, or $S0, to pay on s400; then deduct the s3000 ex- emption under the act of 1916 and you will have 5000, on which you must pay $40. ! and the two added make your tax $120. l Could you put that into little table | A. Oh, yes. And I'll fix it up so you will understand 1t when you marry. 1 One of the simplest ways of recog- nizing the two laws in force and to

 BOLSHEVIKI IS DREAMER "All this agitation for freedom in Rus sa was carried on under the dread of something worse than death--Siberia." He then drew vivid word picture of the honors of Siberian prison camps and told the story of Mother Catherine, who is now 72 years old and who has spent the greater part of her life working for a Russian freedom. Her motto, he ex- plained, is "One for all. all for one.'' Have no fear of the terrible bolsheviki He is just Predetermined old dreamer perfectly honest with an idea that the whole social structure of the world should be revolutionized.

 How about larger net incomes?
 A. Now you are getting in the high
 class. I thought you were one of the lit
 tie fellows.
 Well am, but I am of an inquiring
 nature, and seek information.
 A. All right Under the act of 1916
 the ? per cent, as I stated before, covers
 every dollar of profit, gain. wage, etc,
 in excess of the deductions and exemp-
 tions, which you. if you have read, your
 lessons, must thoroughly understand.
 This continues throughout your income. ] And then?
 A. Then after your income exceecs 20,000, on the excess you will De eN- pected to pay one per cent additlonai until S40,000 is reached; then on the excess of $40,000 and under $60,OO0, two per cent on the excess of S4o,Voo, three per cent on the excess Of Soo,vou until it gets to sS0,000; but before We go any further, If yo uhave an income of anything like these figures, you would better go and hire lawyer. Is there any increase under the act of October 3, 1917?
 A. My, but you remember dates fine No increase in the normal tax: that continues just the same on all income, but there is scale of added taxes that starts on the excess of $5o00. Can you show that and the whole matter in table?
 A. Yes, in your next lesson; but first let me show you how to compute your normal tax on s50,000 net income. un- l.der one act you deduct 5000 examp- tion, which will leave you $49,000, on which you will pay two per cent. On this you pay $sSo. Under the act of 1916 you take off s3000 exemption for single person. and you will have 1 $47,000 left, on which you pay two per cent: that will be s940 Add the
 two items and you will find your nor | nal tax to be s2020.
