DEATH TAkES OLD RESIDENT.
4. {. Warner Dies Suddenly at Home
in l'acjlic (.rOyp. taiii

A. &. Warner, many years ago a resi-
dent of Loomis and since leaving there
a resident of Pacific Grave, California
died suddenly in his home in that city
recently according to word received
saturday by Heroert Gregg.
Mr.. Warner will be remembered by
early residents of Loomis as the en-
gineer at the Palmer Mountain tunnel
during the management of that prop
erty by John Boyd. While there he
took up photography and developed
into an exceptional artist in that line,
producing many splendid pictures of
the Loomis country during the time
when Loomis was the livliest town in
Okanogan county. Upon establishing
his home in Pacific Grove, Mr.. Warner
devoted himself to photography, open
ing studio in that place.
The following account of his death
Is given in Pacific Grove paper:
Anson G. Warner, an old resident
of this city, was found dead in bed this
afternoon at his home, Sixteenth and
Union streets. He was about as usual
yesterday, but was not feeling well,
and physician informed Mr.. Warner
that he was suffering from high blood
pressure and heart disease.
Death evidently occurred during
the night as the body was cold when
neighbors discovered the remains
after becoming suspicious by his alb
sence from the street. He had lived
alone since the death Of his wife a
gosl'se q Years ;ssos4ss ..s.s...ssSs-.sss..s4
For many years, he conducted the
Beach" photo studio and was well
known To thousands of Pacific Grove
residents and visitors. He was ma
tive of Michigan and a veteran of the
Civil war.
"A niece residing at Watsonville has
been summoned to the Grove to ar
range for the funeral"
Mr.. Warner was nearly so years of
age

died down for short time. The south
wall of the Palace hotel was the last

fact that it stood SO long made it pos

PLANS MADE TO
BRING SETTLERS
Real Estate Firms OF OrOyille, Tomas.
ket and Wenatchee Discuss
Selling Campaign.

f. J. Ferguson and Jack Seaman OF
Suson company, insurance and real
estate agents, spent Tuesday IN OrO-
vile wnere they attended a meeting
| called by the directors of the West
Okanogan Valley irrigation district TO
discnss some means OF bringing new
settlers into this valley. Local real
estate dealers and Tonasket firms
were represented at this meeting.
Last fall suggestion was made that
the district obtain lstings of lands UNI
der the sditch that were for sale at
reasonable prices for the purpose of
putting on an extensive advertising
campaign to attract investors. Some
OF the lands were later listed but the
advertising arrangements were never
perfected. At that time the advisability
OF having the lands handled by a
single firm which would also do the
advertising was considered but this
did not prove practicable.
1t is understood that as q result of
Tuesdays meeting, the several real
estate firms will act independently of
the district and through mutual con-
nections that they may make, endeavOr
to interest investors in the Yakima
and Wenatchee valleys. 1t was an
nounced that at least two firms will
put on extensive advertising cam
paigns and follow this up by endeav-
oring to bring all those thus interest
ed directly to this project and give
them an opportunity to select from
among the numerous buys that will be
offered
The fame of the West Okanogan Dis
trict has spread throughout the We
natchee valley, it is reported. and al
ready number of experienced orch
ardists are considering the proposition
OF locating here or establishing their
sons IN this part Of the valley. as they
lass - sss-sttss st.s.s a Z 4 '
natchee in its possibilities. 1t is ex-
pected that many transfers will result
from the proposed campaign and that
many new settlers who understand
irrigation will locate here.

EAGER FOR TIMBER LAND.

The greatest rush ever known by
the state land office in several years
has compelled Commissioner c. V.
Savidge to add three extra cruisers to
investigate and report on timber lands
that buyers are eager to purchase at
the April sale All the lands involved
are in western Washington but in
qniries indicate that as soon as the
SHOWS get off the ground on the east
side of the range there will be big
demand for timber in that part of the
state. This rush to buy state timber
emphasizes early reports of the re-
awaking of the lumber industry.

terprise Is dulled when the greater the
effort the heavier the tax penalty. Today
the country is in sore straits in many
departments Of it's life. Its burdens have
been increased by the drastic decline in
the statue OF its various products, by
disorganization Of foreign commerce and
by q large measure of unemployment.
Taxation today is more Of weight than
ever before in five decades.
DUT will the soldier bonus" bill be-
ID come law2 The signs are that it
will pass both Houses of Congress. Presi-
dent Harding has declared he will not
approve any bonus" legislation that
does not include a measure for raising
the revenue.
The Administration is committed to re
duction Of taxation. 1t is committed
also to soldier compensation.
It is possible to do one Of these, but
not the two at this time.

WARSHIPS HOLD
PRACTICE OFF
COAST OF CUBA
Admiral Jones Finds Tars
Take to Fighting With
Avidity.

GUANTANAMO, Cuba, Feb. 10.-The
entire Atlantic fleet, United States Navy,
as now organized is at anchor today in
the spacious bay that stretches out from
the naval station on the southeastern
end Of Cuba. Since early in January the
battleship force, with it's auxiliaries, has
been at Guacanayabo Gulf, $50 miles to
the west Of here, in active practice.
Arriving on the [. s. S. Columbia,
flagship Of the fleet Admiral Hilary P.
Jones, Z. s. n, found the personnel of
the force far into the preparatory work
with q display of eagerness for training
and a spirit of re4l effort that points a
way to a fine efficiency,
Admiral Jones believes sailors should
be trained on ships and ships at sea and
that is exactly the essence of the pro-
gram here.
BIG SHIPS
ARE ACTIVE.
The ships now present on the south
ern coast of Cuba are the Columbia, the
feet flagship, which is commanded by
Capt J. K. Taussig; the Wyoming, with
the flag Of Vice Admiral J. D. Mcdonald,
commanding the battleship force; Arkan-
sas, flagship Of division five, with Rear
Admiral A II Scales; Delaware, North
Dakota. Florida, flagship of the central
force, with Rear Admiral Newton A. Nc
Gully; destroyer operative squadrons,
Capt. t. T. Craven, commander. the
Black Hawk tender; submarine squad
rons in command Of Capt. Chester Wells,
and the ships Of the train and train
tugs, in command Of Capt. L. r. de
Steiguer on the flagship Olympia.
NAVAL STATION
LEASED FROM CUBA.
This naval station was leased from
Cuba IN 1908 and since then has been
the scene Of the annual assembling of
the ships of the Atlantic feet. It con.
tains about fifty square miles and at
the head Of an expansive bay, with
plenty Of deep water, it lies in the pic
turesque Guantanamo Valley, at the back
of which are the hills from which much
Of the Cuban ore is mined The station
has the largest smaIl-arm target range
on the island and every facility for out
door sports.
It is no uncommon sight during the
hours Of shore liberty to see half Il
dozen spirited baseball games going on
at once. Athletic events make up the
shore liberty time Of the men, and there
is a great rivalry also IN the cutter races,
which attract widespread attention
through the fleet
MARINES ALSO
HAVE PART.
The Marine attachments with the feet
also are carrying out an active schedule
including landing parties, the taking
ashore Of field pieces and always the
work at the rife range.
1t is this continuous training on ships
and with the things that belong to ships
with the side play of athletics that soon
builds the men UP and brings them to
toe the Navy mark. During the stay
of the ships here there viii be battle
practice, day and night spotting. work
in the turrets, and big gun firing at the
targets as well as maneuvers.
A detachment of aircraft Of the F-5
type will operate with the fleet. The
ships will remain in Southern waters
until April and then return to home
yards for overhaul

There are four sources through which
additional revenue might be raised.
They are ~ increasing postage to 3
cents, which would add $2oo,0000Oo in
revenue; ~ a national tax on nutomo-
biles; (3l heavier tax on tobacco. and a.
2-cent tax on bank checks, irrespective
Of size.
Even with these the sum obtained prob
ably would fall short Of requirements.
In the judgment of one Of the national
" known tax experts it would be neces-
sary also to
Increase the normal tax rate to Il per
cent instead Of 8,
Increase the corporation tax to 70 per
cent instead Of 1913,
Extend the sales tax to large number
of articles now exempt.
7 INEVITABLY the distribution Of two
billions Of dollars to the ex-service
men would bring about a considerable
amount Of reckless spending, with a rise
in prices Of many kinds and classes OF
goods. Those who got money through
the bonus would have money to spend,
but those assessed, and they make up
the bulk of the population, would have
less.
Inevitably Liberty bonds would be de-
pressed considerably in market value for
there would have to be a Government
bond issue to meet the immediate re-
quirement for ready money to pay the
bonus.
There is other criticism of the soldier
bonus" bill. To many persons its pro-
visions appear unjust. There is general
agreement that the Nation cannot do
enough for the gallant boys who suffered
dreadfully in the war through being
gassed, wounded or disabled. But why,
1t is asked, should those who never got
TO France, who never knew the horrors
of war, be rewarded as fully as the SUI
ferers7 1t is pointed out, too, that hum
dreds Of thousands of those who never
got across got something In their war
training which they never could have oo-
tanned. They got education, physical
development and broadening OF their
mental horizon that should be Of meal
culable value
It is pointed out, also, that millions Of
persons in civil life made sacrifices in
money and service in war work fully as
great as those who never get beyond
training camps. They do not ask for
pensions or compensation. They served
no less than did those whot went to the
training camps.
TT may as well be appreciated now as
l later that heavier taxation will delay
readjustment not only in America, but
in other countries, for upon readjustment
In this country recovery in other lands
depends to a degree.
Increased taxation means added diff
culties in the conduct Of business En-

Princess.

In his initial feature length starring
vehicle, Burn En- Up Barnes" an
exciting automobile racing story at the
Princess for the last time today, Johnny
(Torchy) Hines drove one of the most
famous racing cars in the East.
The automobile, which was built es.
pecially for Ray Howard. The famous
speedster. began its career on the East
ern tracks and won several grand prizes
Later it was entered in the famous
Sheepshead Bay race, where in the
course of a trial spin the gas tank
caught fire and the entire body Of the
machine ruined, the driver and his
mechanician having narrow escapes.
The automobile was overhauled and re-
built and entered the big race at In
dianapolis, during which it overturned
on a curve, breaking Mr.. Howard's legs
and killing the mechanician.
Howard again rebuilt it and entered
it at the Allentown dirt track race,
which he won, and later repeated the
performance at several other meets.
Johnny Hines says that it is the best
car in the world, except his. and he
ought to know since he drove it at
70.mile-an-hour clip for a goodly part
of day during the filming Of the rae
ing scenes.
