HAS FAlTF IN MAYO
Silver Strike Looks Good, Says Hotel man-Merchant Here on Way
 to the South ss-

J. E.. Binet, merchant of Mayo on the Stewart river south of Daw' son, who has been spending a few days in Juneau, believes the silver strike made this fall in his district portends new period of heavy de velopment in that section.
 This strike promises to be one of the largest and richest silver strikes which have been made in this country Mir. Binet told friends at Skagway, according to the Alas kan "The Yukon Gold Company is one of the corporations which is ac- lively interested in this section, and has about fifteen men doing work on their property this winter It is confidently expected that this cor poration will put on a good sized force of men to work in that district this summer. The Yukon people are not giving out very much inforimaa ton with reference to this field, but the assays at the government office in Whitehorse show the silver as- saved to run from one hundred fifty to fifteen hundred dollars per ton"
 It is felt by MT. Binet that after the ground has been fully surveyed and prospected that it is more than probable that the Yukon Gold people will put in a shelter at Mayo as the cost of transporting the ore to the outside would be very heavy.
 The outlook for this district for the coming summer is very bright. This place with other mines which will be opened and operated along the White Pass will provide con siderable pay roll and bring in a good many miners
 Mir Binet left Juneau this morning for Seattle to purchase supplies for his store. He runs a combined store and hotel at Mayo.

longer Three new tables are now in the lunch room and one more will soon be added. Every day they have two or three dishes that the pupils can \choose from. Friday they served tomato and corn soup, buns, chocolate and loganberry gel atine pudding. The serving of these hot lunches is much extra work for the teacher, Mrs. Breakey' and her pupils, but everybody is willing to do his or her share for the benefit Of the children. Any of those pupils who can go home for lunch should do so and we desire to have the mothers cooperate with us to see that this is done because if they stay, it just makes a lot of extra work for the cooks and waitresses".

termed the enormous increase in their

stated that he had just settled with
the sheriff and that he paid more
than ever before. something like dou-
BILE the sum paid four or five years
ago and that he owned the very same
property, that is the same land, no
more nor less, except he had maybe,
increased the amount of his personal
belongings in cattle, horses, farm
ing implements and such things a few
hundred dollars. We ventured to ask
the man what he had paid for his
property and upon receiving the in
formation we then inquired as to the
probable sale value of it at the pres
ent date, when he replied that he had
refused an offer of more than double
its original cost to him. This, too,
was brought about for the most part
by simply increasing in value along
with other farm land and was not due
to any particular Improvements plac-
ed upon the land by the owner. Was
he hurt by the increase in taxes? Be-

LODGE AND PENROSE
CONFER FOR HOUR

Philadelphia, Nov. %. Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, who had a
speaking engagement here tonight,
called on Senator Penrose at the lat
ter's home today, being one of the few
visitors that have seen the Pensyl-
vania senator in some weeks. The SEN
ators were together for an hour. Sen
ator Lodge said he found Senator
Penrose in good condition, but advis-
ed him against taking chances of go
ing to Washington for the coming
short session of Congress in view of
the fact that only appropriation bills
are expected to be taken up.
Senator Penrose also received
newspaper men for the first time in
six weeks on condition that state and
national politics would not be dis
cussed. II am feeling fine" said the
senator, better now than at any time
during the past few months. Next
week l expect to be attending to my
usual business" 1t is just a year
since Senator Penrose was taken i'll

The payment OF taxes is one duty
the greater number of us would ap,
parently, like very much to shirk.
Somehow. we imagine that we pay
entirely too much and get too little
in return. That may be true in many
cases, doubtless it is frequently the
fact, although those who have to do
with the spending of money collect
ed in taxes almost invariably do the
best they can, according to the cir
cumstances under which they labor
and with which they are beset. If it
is really fault, it is not due to per-
Sonal graft, or a desire to misapply,
but almost entirely to long years Of
custom. A channel, like a habit is
exceedingly hard to get away from,
the beaten path is most often travel
ed. We have a habit of grumbling
when we pay our taxes and the
grumbling habit is continued into the
expanding of the funds, somehow it
just naturally comes Since our
earliest recollection it has been the
fashion and we dare say it is to re-
main with us for long years to come.
We do not stop to consider and to
mediate upon the subject, or else
some of us might perhaps cease our
grumblings and do our utmost to
lend helping hand-boost where we
invariably knock. Without the
fruits of taxation we could have
nothing in the way of public advan-
tages. The road system, tho poor
it may appear, could not exist schools
could not be thought of, nor churches,
none would exist within our land,
not because the collection of funds
is enforced for religious advance
ment and maintenance, but simply
because the contributions are vol
untary, 1t is taxation nevertheless,
self-imposed, and, II being a matter
left practically with each individual
ii not infrequently happens that
those who are financially best able to
bear the burden, pay the least or
merely nothing. In the payment of /
taxes for general purposes it is /
god-send that those who are able |
can be made to bear their share-the !

most cases, who is reaping the bene-
fits. II any are to be. derived and

"GONE UP SALT RIVER"

1t is frequently said of defeated
candidate that ''he has gone up Salt
river" Salt river is small shallow
stream in Kentucky. Years ago a
man ran for office in that locality
and was badly beaten. He had been
very confident of his election and he
was so angered and dazed by the out
come that he jumped into an old boat
and rowed away and was never seen
again. When anyone inquired where
he was, the answer was that he had
gone up Salt River, and this saying
was finally adopted into the language
of politics.

VOLTA TO GET HONORS
Man After Whom the Electricity Volt Was Named Will Get
 Monument

ROME, Feb. 23.-Allesandro Volta the father of experimental electricity the inventor of the voltaic pile and the man after whom the electric volt was named, is to be honored with a monument in Rome which will probably be unveiled in 1927 the hundredth anniversary of his death
 The movement for the recognition of the services of this pioneer Ital ian electrician to humanity was laun ched at a recent dinner of the Italian Alpine club by Luigi Spada, secre tary of the Rome branch of the club
 Volta was a native of Como and won fame as a professor or physics both at Como and Padau. Although he made many discoveries and invent ions in electricity his voltaic pile chiefly.
 Napoleon l, the Emperor of Aus tria and the British Royal Society awarded him medals and invited him to demonstrate the pile, which was a series of discs of dissimilar metal such as copper and zinc, laid up with discs of cloth or paper between them moistened with acid water, for the production of electricity. Upon this discovery, the telephone, telegraph, el ectric lighting, heating and electric power development of all sorts are based.
 "A small marble tablet is the only memorial which Volta has in Rome On the monument to be erected to his memory it is proposed to engrave the names of Galvani, Pacinotti Meucci, G. Ferraris and Marcon, al illustrious Italians who have contrib uted notably to the development oi principles discovered by Volta.
 Antonio Meucci was from Florence and lived in America with Genera Garibaldi, on Staten Island, whert they sopported themselves in poverty by making candles. In discussino Meucci's service to the world, Signol Spada said: ''Meucci invented the telepHOne.
 Accounting the other important electrical discoveries of Italians, ho continued: Antonio Pacinotti, of Pisa in 1864 discovered the electrical rinp which is the principle of the dynamo developed by Gramme, the Belgian who appropriated Pacinottfs dis covery.
 He declared that Italians invented the barometer, the pendulum, the lens the telescope, and that the submarine airplane and asphyxiating gas were 1T embryo set forth in the writings O. Leonardo. Signor Spada urged that Italians arouse themselves and devel op the discoveries of their own sci entists in a broad commercial way
