Whale Wrecks Big Fish
Pond When Caught

Vineyard Haven.-The fish pond OF
Allen and Ernest Flanders Of Chill
mark in Vineyard sound is a strong
one, but it wasn't made for the pur-
pose Of impounding so big a sea going
monster as a whale
When the Flanders brothers went
out to their traps they discovered that
one of the animals of the kind that
swallowed Jonah had practically
wrecked their pond.
The flashing around Of the mammal
broke off several stakes, tore the net
ting so badly that it will take several
days for repairs, and in addition re-
leased probably hundreds Of pounds
Of fish from the pond.
The whale escaped and the brothers
came in shore to tell the story and ex-
hibit the torn netting as evidence that
the big fellow had wrought the dam
age. The whale entered the traps
through h opening which is eight feet
wide.

MOSCOW STORES OPEN UNTIL
NINE SATURDAY EVENINGS

For the convenience during the sum-
mer months of the farmer
trade which comes to Moscow, the
stores will remain open on Saturday
evenings until 8 o'clock, beginning
tomorrow evening. For the past, sew
eral months the stores have closed at
$50 on Saturdays, allowing the
clerks and managers TO get home to
a seven o'clock dinner and to have
the evening to spend as they might
wish. During the winter months this
did not seem to inconvenience any
one, but with the close approach of
when the farmers are busy
during the day, there has come a de-
mand for an opportunity to do trad
ing after work hours. The stores
will maintain the late closing hours
during the summer, but will probably
go back to the early closing next
fall.

ldaho's Taxation Problems
From IDAHO ECONOMIC BULLETIN

Perhaps no freSher &c
the Wornou subject of state taxation
can be found than the following pas
6ages from al address delivered by
MIR. James Munro, C.P.A., OF Boise,
before the Idaho Bankers %associa-
ton last June. We take our quota
ton from the speech as printed, with
marked appropriateness, in the re-
port of the Bureau of Public Accounts
mentioned in our last issue. Said Mr..
Munro: ut seems clear that the pro-
per balance between public n pri-
vate expenditures and the capital re-
CURED for industry is the proper
starting point in the investigation of
public finance.
The social development of the peo-
pie of this state, which they feel as
a matter of right should be on a par
with that of other states, has re-
suited here as elsewhere in greatly
increasing our private as we'll as pub
lie expenditures.
ITO the citizen who complains that
the government is spending and
more each year, that it is spending
100 much on '%frills,' and that the
government costs are taking too large
a portion of the income of the peo
pie, the answer is that he, as In in
aividual, is doing the very same thing.
II both public and private expendi-
lures are excessive, the amount that
can be set aside as capital for future
development is decreased and this de-
yeIopment will be impaired.
( I" Before the automobile came into
renera1 use in this state one of our
largest items of purchase was farm
implements. But these purchases re-
presented capital invested in our IN
dustries and we were benefited in the
transaction. BY analyzing our ex-
penditures for the past few years,
however. we find that enormous sums
were sent out for the purchase OF
commodities and service that do not
increase production, but to a large
extent have the opposite effect.

ARMY MASK HAS
new FEATURES
Makes 1t Possible for Officers to
Give Orders in Battle
Without Removal.

Washington. - The chemical war
fare service of the army has devel-
oped a new gas mask so constructed
as to enable the wearer to carry Oh
conversation while using it and thus
making it possible for officers to give
orders in battle without removing it.
Such a mask will be of vital impor-
lance in troop operations, and the in
vention of the speaking device in this
new type of mask is regarded by army
experts as the greatest improvement
in gas masks since the close of the
World war. They regard it as the
most nearly perfect device Of it's kind
in the world.
Wearer Can Talk.
The new mask has q sort of dfa-
phragm attachment somewhat similar
in appearance to that used on phono-
graphs. BY means of it the wearer of
h mask can carry on conversation
with about so per cent of the efficien-
cy of the average speaking voice.
American experts had beer trying to
achieve the same result through q
telephone attachment, but with the de-
velopment of the diaphragm idea the
attempt to arrange the mask so as to
provide for telephone conversation has
been abandoned. The diaphragm at
tachment is less cumbersome, not COM
pick, and experiments conducted by
the army nave demonstrated that the
human voice is reproduced efficiently
through use of the new attachment.
The perfection of the new mask has
reached the, point where orders have
been ~given/for its production on a con-
siderable scale at the Edgewood ar
senal. The new mask embodies 8
number of other recent developments.
1t contains a new canister which,
through the addition of new chemicals,
not only protects the wearer against
the ordinary gases used in chemical
warfare but also against ammonia
umes and the deadly carbon monox-
ide. It is expected that this i'm
Drovement Will make the new mask |
invaluable to fremen in great cities,
as well as to mine workers and those
who are employed in the fumigation
of vessels.
Other New Features.
There are also features embraced
in the construction of the new '.aI-
purpose" canister that lessen air re-
SIstance n reduce the distress of
breathing to practically a negligible
quantity. This improvement includes
elimination of the nose n mouth
pieces and has esuIted in consider
reduction in the amount of char
coal used in the mask. The new mask
likewise contains a device for pass
ng dry air from the chemicals over
he eyeglasses of the mask. This pre-
7ents collection of moisture and con-
'iderably improves the vision. A spe-
'ial arrangement also enables the
containing case to be car
under the arm instead of on the
hest, as in other types of masks,
nd thus provides greater reedom in
'ody movement of the wearer. 1
Experiments are also being conduct !
d with chemicals that render cloth
to burning gases, but
Thich viii at the same time permit
from the human body to es- |
ape.

Find Spectacles More
Than 125 Years Old

Piqua, O.-Three pairs OF spectacles,
over 125 years old, have been discov-

Observation-Disclosures, Mrs. Jane
Brown Patterson, who. came with her
husband, Robert Patterson, from Ire

settled on a farm.
Two pairs of the eyeglasses are of
German silver, while the third is of
brass. Unlike most modern glasses,
they serve only to magnify the object
upon which they are focused.
Mrs. Mullendorn still is occupying

upkeep and operation is costing well
over 81, 500 900 per month, or $751;
100000 per year. These estimates are
very conservative. Whether in the
end production has been helped by
this expenditure is very doubtful
"In the light of this condition it
woul not seem that the individual has
been left with but the crumbs after
the public budget has beef met. On
the contrary, it is apparent that the
private expenditures have had more
to do with conditions than public ex-
penditures. I am certainly not op-
posed TO the reduction of axe and any
other saving which must be made. But
if the people had practiced the good
judgment that they are asking the
government to use in the matter of
expenditures, had they considered
whether the expenditure was legiti-
mate and necessary and selected the
yhicle, If one was necessary, that
would give the service at the least
cost, both as to original cost and
maintenance, I believe $4,000, 900.
would ave been saved. This would
have paid all of the general state
taxes at the present rate for the
next twenty years. 1t would seem
that we are suffering more from
financial administration than from
high taxes.
The solution is not simple and it
will not be brought about by paying
large sums every two years to put
some one in or some one out of office,
as the case may be. In my opinion
it must be brought about by educa-
ton. supplemented by a system of
analysis and control"
That pretty much takes care of the
general problem. About all we can
do is to paw over the details.

FRANCIS JESSE KERR

On Thursday afternoon, April l9.
1928, at about three o'clock, while
several men were on the slack dump
at the Horace mine, a great snow
slide came down and caused the death
of we'll known and beloved citizen.
Frank Kerr. Several other men were
near and all tried to escape but Mr..
Kerr's body was found about an hour
later, being cut and bruised almost
beyond recognition. Death had been
instantaneous.
The sudden death of Mr.. Kerr has
cast gloom over our little city. He
had worked around coal mines for
the past thirty-five years and had
been a resident of Crested Butte
since 1886, coming here from Ne
braska at the age of II years.
Mr.. Kerr was born in West Vir-
ginia, on May 90, 1862, so was 5A
years of age. On August 13, 1898,
ne was married to Miss Dora v.
Smith at Alma, Nebraska.
Left to mourn the passing of this
kind husband and father are his wife
and three daughters, Mrs Ruben
Roberts, Mrs. Peter Campbell and
Miss Irene, and one son William, all
OF whom reside in Crested Butte; his
mother, Mrs. Jessie Kerr of Denver:
sister, Mrs. C. L. Ross also of Dem
yer, and three brothers, William of
this city; Adam of Palisades; and
Pete of Carthage, New Mexico.
All of his relatives were present at
the funeral, which was held on Tues
day morning, April "a, from the u.
c. church, the Rev. Barnard Geiser.
Episcopal minister from Gunnison.
officiating.
The X. of P. and Pythian Sisters
attended in a body as did the Crested
Butte High School The floral offer
ings were profuse and beautiful and
testified to the esteem in which Mr..
Kerr was held.
The many friends of the family
attended the services and paid their
last respects to him who had crossed
the divide. AN business places were
closed during the services. The body
was laid to rest beside the deceased's
father and other relatives in Fair
view cemetery.
Sincere sympathy is extended to
all the relatives in this sad hour.
