In Memoriam.

The following eulogy, taken from the
Shreveport Times of November 10Th,
dedicated to Mr.. Paul Fl. Allen, Of
Grand Cane, DeSoto Parish, came to
hand last Saturday morning, when the
reporter first learned Of Mr.. Aliens
demise. The deceased is survived by
the following near relatives of this
place: Mr.. G. G. Allen and Mrs. S. a.
Cochran, the former brother, the
latter a sister. Also, there are others
living elsewhere.
Grand Cane and the surrounding
country for miles around has lost one
Of Its best citizens, in the death OF
r. e. Allen, who depared this life
November 25th.
s. Mr. Allen, who was born March 8,
1857, was reared in Bossier Parish.
He was united In marriage to Mrs. DR..
Herring, of Claiborne Parish. He is
survived by the widow and a step
daughter. Miss Marie Herring, his
mother and seven brothers and sisters.
The taper of life is extinquished.
Never more viii we greet that honest
face. He has solved the riddle Of death
and gone to that undiscovered country,
from whose bourne no traveller re-
turns His loss IN his home Is ire
parable. His family leaned OH him
with confidence and love. His religion
was creedless. While not a member of
any church or lodge, he contributed to
all churches and good causes. His life
consisted OF good deeds, strict honesty
and truthfulness, open and frank in his
transactions, faithful to duty, conscien-
tious to a trust reposed in him, SYM
pathetic In nature, and appreciatiye Of
all kindness
Mr.. Allen was an 0mnfvOrOuS
reader, and gifted with a remarkably
fine memory, well posted in history,
science and other lines of literature
and kept up with the political situa-
ton Of the world.
1 For nearly forty years he was a
| druggist, and his work was most con-
scientously attended from its begin
ming to the point where he was forced
/ to retire from Ill health. He was prom
inent. and influential in his home sec
tion, was president of the bank, and
had filed other responsible positions in
Grand Cane, ever abiding strictly by
state and municipal laws.
OF fine physique, pleasing person
1 ality, modest in demeanOr, of strong
forceful character. but conservative, he
firmly stood by what he thought was
right. His friends were legion. A
1 prominent Shreveport man remarked,
: 1t was an advantage to any man to
have known Paul Allen" While in
great physical agony, his stoicism and
patience were most remarkable. He
never made the least complaint.
Friends from Shreveport, Mansfield
and other places brought a profusion
Of floral offerings.
May his ashes rest In peace"
-A FRIEND.

now 1900 feet from the shaft, and it will be pushed to Gratoit ground. Connection will be made between the shafts when Gratoit is sunk to a cor responding depth. The 9th level drift, 800 feet in length, and the 4th level slope continue to develop good values.
 While it will take the mines now idle considerable time to get started once operations are resumed, owing to the fact that it will be necessary to build up new organizations and labor may not be plentiful if revival in industry is general, this will not be true of the Calumet & Hecla rec lamation plant. That plant will be able almost immediately to produce at a maximum rate. Just previous to the shutdown it had attained the record output of 1,S96,00O pounds. Labor will be the governing factor in bringing the production of the mines up to desired total. There is some fear that labor will be scarce after the available local supply is taken on in- asmuch as it is believed that an in- crease in the demand for copper will be simultaneous with a nation wide industrial recovery.
 Mayflower-Old Colony still has cop per in it's south drift at the 1700-foot level. This vein is now in about 200 feet with copper showing for more than 50 feet. The east crosscut is still in trap. Apparently the hope of Mayflower lies to the south where values now appear more persistent It is possible that work in the cross cut may be suspended shortly and all attention directed, toward the south.
 Quincy is one mine that will be in splendid shape to respond to a sub stantial improvement in the copper metal market. With the improve ments that have been made in the mills and smelters, underground con ditions were never better.
 Quincy's new furnace, having a capacity of 15O,OO0 pounds of copper daily. will be completely equipped within a months time. It has been partially in use but its casting equip- ment has not yet been wholly install ed. The furnace is of type similar to those in use at the Michigan and Calumet & Hecla smelters.
 In the milling plant alf but one ot the five units have been equipped with reprind sections, which resulted last wear in a 1O9o savings, increasing the copper yield just that much.

Houghton, Mich, July 9.-Progress is being made with the Calumet & Hecla geological survey. A corps, of eminent geologists and mineralogists are engaged in this research, which is primarily to determine, if possible, the origin of the Lake Superior copper deposits and the form in which they were laid down. Much data is being collected not only in the mines of Calumet & Hecla but in other prop critics of this district. The findings

will not be kept secret but will be available to all and will benefit the entire district. It is the hope of Cal umet & Hecla to establish certain fun damental facts that will greatly aid in the uncovering of new copper de- posits, thereby doing away to a large extent with the present hit or miss methods of exploration and develop ment which have proved so costly in the past. The survey has been under way for two years and it may take that much longer to complete. "-.

SALES OR TURNOVER TAX
CALLED GRAND LARCENY
President of Union Says People
With Small Incomes Would
Suffer.

The sales or turnover tax would
be the worst kind Of grand larceny
in taxation and would be daily rob-
berry on cruel scale of those who
haven't sufficient income to maintain
an American standard of living" said
William II. Johnston. president of
the international Association of Ma
chinists. in his capacity of vice presi-
dent of the Peoples Reconstruction
League. in A statement issued today
The statement said. in part:
For Il family with an income of
5000 the average tax payment under
the sales tax would be As per cent
of the tota! family income; for fam
lily with an income of $500 it would
be 81 per cent and for family with
an income of $1,000. assuming ap-
proXimately the same purchase of
necessities. it would be Sc per cent.
Because of the pyramiding of
such tax. however. since the payer
adds a profit the real cost of a sales
tax to an average family with an in
come of about $4,000 would be about
Sc per cent of the family income
for a family with an income of S1,50O.
11.4 per cent; for family with an
income of Sl,000, over II per cent.
These figures are approximate.
''One of the bankers advocating the
sales tax before the House committee

had the alternative of merely re-
framing from consuming"
