THE BANK OF COLvILLE'S
GREETING FOR NEW YEAR

Every good citizen has at heart
the welfare of the community in
which he lives. He wants it to
grow and prosper and become bet
ter place in which to live and do
business. And in bringing about
these conditions, every citizen has a
duty to perform. Some may have
larger opportunities than others, but
we all have distinct part.
That no community has a place for
the crouch, the chronic kicker or
the knocker is commonly admitted.
The pessimist is never the town build
er. The man who has faith in his
town and its future, who caryies
about with him cheerful spirit, and
who encourages his weak hearted
neighbor, Tho lends his support to
every movement for the up-building
of his town along every worthy line,
who will not admit there is a better
place on Gods green footstool in

GLADSTONE MINING. PROPERTY
SHOWS EXCELLENT PROSPECTS

The following from the Northport
News tells of the progress of de-
velopment on the Gladstone, which is
near the Electric point:
Much work of permanent charac-
ter has been performed on the Glad
stone Mountain mine, Northport dis
trict, in the last month or longer,
according to Dan D. Dodd, superin-
tendent. A thirty-foot gallows
frame has been erected, hoist in
stalled and a shaft house and black
smith shop erected ne said yester-
day. An excavation 40 feet long
was made to permit the installation
of the gallows frame and equip
ment. A cribbing to retain ore
brought to the surface has been
built and trestle is being built to
the Electric Point wagon road to
facilitate ore handling. The shaft
follows the course of the ore on a
dip of about 80 degrees and has a
depth of Sc feet 1t will be widened
to about by feet. The work of
widening is proceeding. "Much of
the sulphide ore occurs in the form
of boulders, some of which weigh
six to seven tons and one of which
weighed MORE" he said. "This
ore is clear, and while no returns
have been received on samples sent
out for assay, smelterman who in
spected the property estimated the
lead content at 80 per cent. The
boulders are broken to a size that
the men can handle. We have at
least 100 tons of clean ore on the
dump. Shipments will be started
as soon as snow falls, and will be
continued as long as snow lasts,
after which development will be re-
sumed. The rail point is Boundary,
Id miles from the mine. Mr..
Dodd said but five men were employ
ed and the number had been but
four until recently. Fifty tons of
ore were removed in less than two
weeks at the beginning of operations.
The first so tons were obtained in
sinking the remainder around the
collar of the shaft. Jesse Hall, sec
retary-treasurer of the company, es-
timated recently that net smelter
return in excess of $53 to the ton
could be expected from the sulphide
ore. He contrasted this with the
small crew engaged in it's removal.

formation and render service in pre-
paration of industrial reports, acct
dent claims, payrolls and medical aid
days, and it is expected that the new
office will be of invaluable assistance
to the large companies with large
payrolls where at present the work
of compiling the state reports is a
burdensome one. Mr.. Richardson
himself is a skilled accountant, and
having had the technical experience
with the state insurance department,
should be able to give real service to
clients.
w. C. Jones of Marcus has brought
a Maxwell from Geo. R. jesse,
Maxwell dealer.
Efforts are being made by the
residents of lone to secure bridge
across the Pend Oreille river at that
place, and a permanent committee
has been named to handle the mat
ter. Through a community effort
bridge will be built at Usk, at
cost of about $4,000 to the county,
and a strong effort will be made to
secure another bridge at lone, thus
making possible road on the east
side of the river.

which to live, who will take time
from his personal business to give
to the towns development, and who
recognizes the fact that his individ-
ual prosperity links up with that of
the town-builder, is a community
asset.
The business or professional man
who shuts himself within the four
walls of office or store and gives no
thought to the general business in
terests of the community, is liabil-
ity, not an asset to the community.
Colville, fortunately, is not encum-
bered that way. Our people are
loyal, our business men unselfshly
devoted to the irtorcstE- Of our town
Co1ville is destined to be bigger
and better town, but no town or
community can rise above its citi-
zenship. So let every citizen rise
above immediate personal interests
and unite whole heartedly in bigger
and better Colville movement.-G. W..

NOW is A GOOD TINE
TO FILE INCOME RETURN

All persons who must make re-
turns will have to file their income
between January and March 10.
The 1919 rates are much lower
than the 1918 rates. The returns
must be made for the income and ex-
cess profits derived during the cal
endar year 1919.
The tax on net income of $4,000
or less, after deducting personal ex-
emption, is per cent. In the net
income over $4,000 it is per cent. l
1918 the tax rates on these two
forms was respectively 6 per cent
and IL per cent.
In addition to the normal tax there
is a surtax which is imposed at grad
uated rates upon the entire net in
come in excess of $4,000, the rate be-
ing 1 per cent on net income OF
from $4,000 to $4,000; 2 per cent on a
net income between $4,000 and $4,000;
per cent on a net income of from
$4,000 to $4,000; a per cent between
$4,000 and $4,000, and s per cent
on a net income between $4,000
and $4,000. The surtax increases /
per cent for each $4,000 up to 500, 900.
For example, the surtax rate on a
net income between $4,000 and
100000 is AZ per cent.
Every single person whose net in
come for the year was $1,000 or more
must make a return. A married per-
son whose net income for the year
was $4,000 or more must make re-
turn and a husband and wife living
together, where the net income of
both is included in one report, must
make a return.

1874, 900 acres above that of 1916,
the year before the United States
entered the war. The 1919 acre
age, therefore, was 20,536,000 acres
above the acreage of the last prewar
year. The whole gain of 1919, how
ever, is to be credited to winter
wheat, sown mostly before the sign
ing of the armistice. This crop alone
gained 12,229,000 acres over 1918.
The 1919 acreage in crops other than
winter wheat, therefore, was about
10,5OO,000 acres less than in 1918,
according to statistics gathered by
the crop-reporting specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
The peak of acreage effort there
fore, was reached in 1918, the last
year of the war, when farmers cul-
tivated 1S,764,000 acres more of
principal crops than they did the
year before the United States en-
tered the war. In the meantime army,
navy and war industry took a large
fraction of the former farm labor,
so that there could have been no
annual increase of acreage under for
mer conditions. The loss of labor,
unless new methods had been adopt
ed, would have reduced the cultivated
area greatly. Notwithstanding this
great handicap, farmers in the two
war years increased their area under
principal crops seven and a half
times the average yearly increase
of the preceding five years, and the
increase in acreage was greater in
the second year than in the first.

PEAK OF ACREAGE EFFORT
REACHED IN u. s. IN 1911

The farmers of the United States,
in 1919, had 1,772,000 acres more
under cultivation than they had in
1918, and the 191 acreage was
