JEBEL HAROUN.

Jebel Haroun, Mountain of Aaron,
is one of those doubtfully famous
places which may or may not de-
serve the attention they receive.
That the Mount of Aaron in south
ern Palestine, is not the Mount
Hor of bible history is contended by
some scholars who climb the peak,
while others aver that this is sure
ly Mount Hor, the scene OF the
patriarch Aaron's death and bur
ial.
The case for the Mount of Aaron
is strengthened by the fact that
it has long been so called by the
Arabs of the country, and also be-
cause the Mohammedans have
erected a mosque over what they
regard as the true tomb of the
patriarch.
So sacred do they hold this
shrine that It is with difficulty that
persons not of their faith can OBJ
tain guides or even correct infor-
nation as to the ascent of the
mountain. Now that Great Britain
is in control of Palestine, the Jews,
SO long forbidden even to draw
near the Moslem shrine, may again
come into possession of the sacred
mount, though so far Great Britain
has left such places in the posses
sion of those already holding them.
The little white Mohammedan
shrine on the summit of Jebel Har-
Gun is landmark for miles around.
Below the dome the leader Of Is
rael is supposed to lie, though only
the faithful can enter the chapel,
and they are reticent as to the con-
tents. 1t is regarded as likely that
the present tomb replaced a much
more imposing monument erected
il the middle ages by the Crusad-
ers.
From the lonely tomb Of Aaron a
remarkable view of southern Pales-
tine can be obtained. Jebel Haroun
is the tallest mountain in this re-
gion Of mountains. All about it is q
stretch of tumbled peaks and val
Ieys bare and rocky. with the Dead
Sea lying on to the north. Mount
Hor of the bible is supposed to
have commanded en- impressive out
look, and here again Jebel Haroun
scores heavily against the lesser
peaks that have been set up as its
rivals.

from last weeks total which was
approximately 1900. Colonel Jor
dan said that the amount of en-
ployment at the arsenal during the
coming months is not known now.
1t will depend, he said, on whether
or not the plant can be used in

which has fallen off in the manu-

ROCK ISLAND TO
OBTAIN SERVICE
REVENUE OFFICE
Peoria District viii Be ReOrgan-
lied and Stations Located Near
er the Taxpayers
Especial to The Argus.l

Peoria, Ill, July 16.-Commis-
sioner Roper's plan to reorganize
the United tSates internal revenue
districts appeared before the hori-
Zon when the Peoria district Offices
received instructions to inform the
internal revenue department as to
the most suitable places in the dis
trict for establishing service sta
tons"
It is part of the plan of the rev
enue commissioner to establish
such service stations throughout
each revenue district so as to
bring the revenue Offices into clos
er touch with the federal tax pay
ers.
Towns Mentioned.
Official gossip at the federal
building points to Princeton, Gales
burg, Rock Island, Monmouth and
Kewanee as the probable locations
for such service stations. where
revenue stamps will be distributed
and competent revenue officials sta
toned to furnish information to tax
payers, especially in regard to in
come and excess profit taxes. 1t is
expected also that division depu-
ties will be stationed in other
towns throughout the Peoria dis
trict.
The greatest annoyance to in
come tax payers" Collector Nc
Cabe of the Peoria district said
has been to gain proper informa-
ton so as to be able to make out
proper schedules for their returns.
AS a rule they have been willing to
pay the tax due, even the heavy war
taxes, but they have had much wor-
~ and difficulty to understand the
law and make proper schedules of
their incomes.
Offers Accommodations.
1.-THE present revenue commits
sioner at Washington has been
working industriously to serve the
tax payers in this respect, and to
get the service of the department
within their reach. The proposed
establishment of service stations is
expected also to do away with much
of the investigation that has been
necessary upon some returns
months and even years after they
have been made and sent to Wash
ington.
These Investigations have some
times been considered as ques-
tioning of the integrity of the tax
payer. In fact. many of the returns
have been faulty upon their face,
in many cases showing the tax pay

er to have set his return at too
great figure. Many Investigations
have resulted in refunds to the in
come tax payer, ranging from a
few pennies to thousands of dol
lars"
