ESTATE MAY BE 40 MILLION.

NEW YORK.-The will of Isaac
Guggenheim, eldest of the seven
sons of the late Meyer Guggenheim,
whose names long have been ~associat-
ed with the development Of copper
mining and smelling, was admitted
to probate the other day by Surro-
gate Howell in Mineola. Mr.. Guggen-
helm died suddenly in southampton,
England, October 10.
The document reveals only a small
part of an estate, which may amount
to 40 million dollars, All but about
2 million dollars of this is left in
trust as the residuary estate, Of
which Mrs. Carrie Guggenheim, the
widow, and her three daughters, Mrs.
Beulah v. Spiegelberg, Mrs. Edyth
B. Josephthal and Mrs. Helen G.
Glorney of London, are the principal
benefciaries.
The size of the estate seems as
yet unknown. The petition filed with
the will contained a formal state
| ment that the estate comprised more
than / million dollars in personal pro-
perty and " million dollars in real
estate. One of the persons mentioned
in the will was asked for an estimate
He said:
"We really don't know how large
the estate is. 1t may be 25 million
dollars or possibly 40 million dollars
Most of this-however large it may
be is left in trust. With the excep'
ton Of requests to two friends, a
mounting to $4,000, the estate viii
be distributed among members o.
Mr.. Guggenheim's family.

TAX
DODGERS IN
OMITTED STATES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The gov
eminent revenue agents and auditors
just now catching up with their after
the-war work, have made the start
ling discovery that more than 1 mil
lion persons liable for taxes on in
comes above $4,000 have lodged pay
ment, either through not making re-
turns OF ~coneealing assets.
This was learned at the treasury
department today, simultaneously
with the inauguration of a campaign
on the part of the internal revenue
bureau to catch the evaders.
Revenue experts estimate that the
treasury can be enriched to the extent
of 500 million dollars in collection
from individuals who have failed to
make any returns for four years.
In cataloguing taxpayers through
out the country, agents have found
that the number of persons who should
have made returns and did not will
total nearly / million. In addition,
there also is shown in the reports a
large class of tax evaders who have
put themselves in the $4,000 class,
whereas their earnings r consider
ably larger than that amount.
Orders have gone out to internal
collectors to make around-up
of small business concerns in large
cities. These cities will be centers
of a whirlwind smash at the evaders
in the next few weeks. New York
Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati, Gle
veland, Detroit, St. Louis, San Fran
cisco and Pittsburgh. The campaign
will be extended to other cities upon
an equally vigorous scale, it was said
by treasury officials.

GiUeS Interesting account of
Walking Trip Through Park

looked and looked andlooked at doz-
ems Of snow capped peaks, all to the
west i found a rock shaped like an
Indian tomahawk; scratching MEX

it at the 7156 feet, altitude, sign
board. I'm sure it wont blow away.
Have seen peaks-glaciers-lakes
water falls-flowers-aspen groves
big tall ~pines-ruffed grouse-ptar-
migan-eagles mountain goats, sheep
and bear tracks-the maker of some
very fresh tracks, one morning, must
have seer me first and disappeaded off
the trial when 1 came along, well-I
hold nothing against him for that.
Here in the widest of the wild, | don't
care to get off the trails more than
q few feet.
To see Two Medicine Lake and sur
~roundings again, we hiked IL miles
on the highway, stopping at Trick
Falls. It's unique-a regular tor
rent comes thru an odd shaped hole,
in the solid rock of a high bluff, drop
ping to a little stream which flows
merrily down to Two Medicine River.
We dropped our pack at the Chalets
and liked along side the lake to Twin
Falls. In sight above these falls is
Pumpelly Pillar, a sheer, straight up
1000 foot rock. Back to the Chalets,
S miles, making 20 miles for the day.
Next day We hiked IL miles to Gla-
cier Park Hotel at the eastern en-
trance, got back into civilized toys
and visited with folks that, like us,
'had been thru the park" We met
Mr.. j. w. Shultz, a we'll known wri-

ed interesting experiences of his life

John Muir says:-"Fear not to try
the mountain passes. They kill care,
save you from deadly apathy, set you

think better, act better, and be bet

last week at his home on Longs
Peak, Colo, with whom l have en-
ioyed some fine walks and talks, Enos
A. Mills, friend of the bear the bea-
yer, the trees and hills-taught me
not to fear the wild life out doors in
the mountains near as much as the
wild life in cities and towns; and the
! trees-the birds-the animals, the
hills-to enjoy them forever.
We walked 1861 miles, took doz-
ems of pictures, had a thousand ex-
p~eriences, saw 4,623,213 sights, and
nothing looked 50 good to me as the
streets and good friends of Mexico

FROM CONVICT TO MISSIONARY.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. o.
Many men are discharged from the
state p~enitentiary here better men
spiritually than when they were COM
mitted to the institution, in the opin-
ion of the Rev. l. P. Langley, prison
chaplain.
This is attributed by Mr.. Langley
to the religious training they receive
while in confinement, where the aim
Of the religious workers is to teach
the convicts the principles of right
living so they will become useful,
citizens when their sentences have ex-
pired.
Interest in religious subjects is keen
in the prison, it has been noted by
Mr.. Langley. Five prisoners already
are studying to be evangelists when
they are released in order that they
may "warm their friends to a better
life and tell them there is nothing in
the kind of lives they have led" Mr..
Langley said. Each of the five is in
earnest, the chaplain added, and dc
considerable collateral reading.
So interested are the convicts in
religion that group of negro prison
ers has organized a church of its
own, known as the Pilgrim Rest Mis-
sionary Baptist church.
