NEW TAX PROVISIONS.

The following statement is issued
by Collector uf Internal Revenue
Burns Poe, for the district of Wash
ington:
The revenue act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions
which are the subject of frequent in.
quiry The first relates to the per-
sonal exemptions allowed married
persons, and the second to the provis-
ion requiring that return be made
of gross income of $1,000 or more.
The act provides that married
person, living with husband or wife
whose net income for 1921 was $4,000
or less shall be allowed a personal
exemption of $4,000. If the net income
was over $4,000 the exemption is
$4,000. Under the revenue act of 1918
the personal exemption allowed a
married person was $4,000, regardless
of the amount of net income The
normal tax rate remains unchanged,
4 per cent on the first 81 900 of net in
come above the exemptions and 8 per
cent on the remaining net income.
In order that an income slightly in
excess of $4,000 shall not be subjected
to an Unfortunately disproportionate tax
because of the reduction of the ex-
I-efnption TO 81, 900 thereon, the law
provides that such reduction shall not
operate to increase the tax, which
would be payable if the exemption

CHEER UPsAND SMILE.

Cheer up for the best is yet to come.
Let's carry the holiday spirit with us
through this new year. Times have
been hard, conditions trying, but we do
not improve them by complaint Life
in all it's phases is always struggle,
but it is not necessarily gloomy,
hopeless struggle. There is compensa-
ton and reward for those who meet
their difficulties with smile. A smile
warns the heart and lifts up the spir-
its. 1t is a sign Of courage, and the
habit of smiling generates new cour-
age. 1t not only generates courage in
the breast of him who smiles, but it
radiates courage for those about him.
The dOwncast countenance, the dispir-
tied look, the doleful tone are all an
admission of defeat and helplessness.
This attitude also is contagious. 1t af-
fects not only him who has given in to
the blues, but it tends to chill the
heart Of all with whom he comes in
contact Do not let such fear lodge in
your soul. 1t will bring multiplying
miseries and make you unfit to grasp
opportunity when it comes to you.
Learn to smile. The world will look
will help to make it brighter for 9TH
ers. Cheer up and keep smiling, bet
ter time is coming.

Herbert Gregg, who is an artist in
pOrtraying the scenic beauties of this
country through the medium of the

wonderfully attractive post card pic

have been placed on sale at The Palm
Oasis. the Oroville Pharmacy and a,
Seasons drug store. Nothing could be
better calculated to attract people
here and residents can do no better
than to send copies of these pictures
to friends where they can help spread

INITIAL OUTFIT DFcRFAsFs.
Okanogan Mines Among Few in State
that Produce In 1921.


that Produce In 1921.
The value of the gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc production from mines
in Washington, according to the esti-
mate of C. n Gerry, OF the United
States Geological Survey Department
of the Interior, was about $356,OOO, as
compared with $1,200,932 in 1920. The
output of metals was less than that
of any year in the last decade, as the
large producers found it impossible
to operate under the peculiar market
conditions. The prices of copper, lead,
and zinc were unusually low, but
freight rates and other expenses re-
manned high. The copper plant at Ia
coma was operated at about half ca
pacity, and treatedvery little ore from
Washington. The lead plant at North
port was operated only three months
principally on ores form Idaho.
The mine production of gold in
creased from $120.S60 in 1920 to about
s14S,0O0 in 1921 Most of the gold came
from the Republic district, Ferry
county, but the shipments Of siliceous
ores were restricted by high freight
rates. The main producers were the
| San Poll, Knob Hill, and Surprise
mines Late in the year operations
were resumed at the Boundary Gold
| Mountain mine in Whatcom county,
and gold bullion was shipped to Sc
attle This mine was large producer
in 1916 and 1917.
The mine output of silver decreased
from 199,C7S ounces in 1920 to about
10000 ounces in 1921. Mines at Re-
public, Nighthawk, Chewelah, and
Colville produced most of the silver,
but the quantity of silver produced
from copper ores was small, for the
mill of the United Silver-Copper COM
pany at Chewelah was not operated
and the Sunset mine. near Index, was
idle. Rich silver ore was opened in
the old Dominion mine near COlville
and ore was milled by the Pyrargyrite
and Four Metals companies in Okla
hogan county
The mine output of copper decreaed
from l 1888 ,l34 pounds in 1920 to about
100000 pounds in 1921. Crude copper.
silver ore was shipped from the Unit
ed Silver Copper mine, at Chewelah
at the rate of about 100 tons month
instead of 800 tons of crude ore and
concentrates a month as in 1920. The
Sunset Copper company, large pro,
Queer of copper ore in 1920, was idle
in 1921.
The mine output of lead decreased
from 5,7S7,247 pounds in 1920 to about
$4,000 pounds, valued at $6,O72 in
1921. 1t was Improbable to ship lead
ore from the Electric Point and other
mines near Northport, as the average
price of lead was about 46 cents q
pound and the ore contains little or NO
| silver.
Despite the low price of zinc in 1921
the Northwest mine, near Northport
continued to produce first class car
Donate ore which was shipped to the
east.

appeared in last Sundays Portland

"At the annual meeting Of the We

located ~ miles from any railroad

erctly through it on its way to Kenne-

THE complete survey of the route
decided upon for the Wenatchee-
Southern railroad follows the west
side of the Columbia river practically
ell the way from Wenatchee to Kenne
wick. The first section of SO miles ex-
tends to Beverly. where connection
is made with the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul. This is the most difficult
portion of the road to build, involving
considerable rock work.
From Beverly to Hanford, as miles
the tracks of the Priest Rapids branch
of the Milwaukee road will be used, a
99-year lease having been entered into
with the road.
From Hanford new construction
must be made for 20 miles to a point
where the North Coast line of the o.

will be made with the systems of the
Milwaukee, the O-W. r. & ~, the
Northern Pacific and the Spokane.
