In addition to the gold which was
consigned to American bankers, the
Laurentic was laden with almost So

been using divining spear with dial
attached that shows whether the spear

such as iron.
The clockllke dial Is kept aboard the
salvaging ship and Is connected with Il

had recovered COS bars, but since the
galvanometer was brought into use
more than 2,100 have been brought to

$1,000 to $4,000, depending upon the

DIGGING THE DOVER TUNNEL
Work Is to Be Pushed From Eight
Shafts Sunk in the British
Channel.

Our old ideas regarding tunnels are
to be turned topsy turvy, il appears.
by the methods to be adopted in dig

once begun, underground and under
sea line of communication between
England and France. A tunnel, and
more particularly a subaqueous tun.
mel, has been human burrow, begun
mt one end or both.
II has been virtually decided that
instead of cutting in from the two
shores this tunnel is to be dug from
the middle outward, says the New
Orleans Times-Picayune. Plunging
down into the chilly waters of the
English channel with the greatest
caiSso!s ever constructed, the engi-
neers will exclude the sea waters by
modern processes that have been de-
veloped, and sinking a shaft into the
sea bottom will work fore and aft.
But even that single shaft is not
enough according to Mr.. Tempest,
chief engineer of the project, and ii is
proposed that no less than eight sea
shafts shall be used.
If this is done it is the engineers
idea that the dirt and rock dug from
the tunnel cutting instead of being
carried many miles to a land dump,
can simply be blown by compressed
air out upon the sea bottom. The
whole thing sounds wonderful and it
looks us though the tunnel might be-
come an engineering marvel surpass-

dam, the Tay bridge and other gems

A PROGRESSIVE FRUIT FARM

Charles E. Harris lives east OF
town at what is known as Morning
side, and Is operating a fruit and
poultry farm. Mr.. Harris does not
look after these things as side line
but as a main line He has special
customers for his eggs, people who
are willing to pay better than the
market price for eggs that can be
relied upan as to freshness when de-
livered.
Mr.. Harris has taken considerable
interest in getting some specially
good fruits acclimated and into good
production here. The black rasp-
berries have been so generally pro-
nounced too tender for this climate,
but Mr.. Harris has propagated some
that are especially rich and hardy
and are bearing heavily. The demand
for them is just parallel to an &C
quaintance with them, those know
ing of their quality insisting on hav-
ing share of what there is for mar
ket.
Anyone who visits Morningside
and sees what can be produced from
a small tract by giving nature a
chance will be impressed with the
truth of the saying that there is lit
tie excuse for anyone being without
food and going to the county treas
ury for aid and pensions.

Refund on Income Tax
Sent Out by Collector

Announcement was made the FIRST
of August by Evan Evans, collector
of internal revenue for the district
of Idaho that his Office had begun
to issue and mail out the checks
for the refund of the twenty-five per
cent reduction of federal income
taxes paid in full for the year 1928,
as provided by the Act Of 1924. This
bill was signed by the president and
became a law on June 2.
1t was necessary to list over $500
accounts, showing the names and
addresses, serial number of returns,
total amount Of tax paid and the one
fourth due to be refunded. AS these
forms are approved and returned to
this office, payments will be made.
The first payment was made July 81.
In keeping with the desire of the
treasury department to make this
refund promptly, the force worked
overtime.
In order to avoid congestion the
Washington department checked and
returned to each of the sixty-five
districts a certain number of forms,
and the first checks were issued in
an eastern district July IA.

AUTO ACCIDENT.

On Wednesday evening Eskel Esk-
elson and family were driving north
past the Anderson Lumber company
on North Main, and as he turned
west towards the city park car
travelling south collided with his and
then struck a telephone pole. Both
cars were badly damaged and the
passengers shook up but no serious
injuries sustained.
1t seemed that both drivers vio-
lated the traffic rules, Mr.. Eskelson
did not signal his intention to turn,
and he bore too close to the left,
not keeping the right of the center
at the crossing. On thing that kept
him from signaling and from observ-
ing the other car was that he met
car and had his eye on 1t just be-
fore he reached the place where he
planned to turn. The other car was
said to have been running at high
speed, and the distance the driver
slid his wheels in trying to stop sus-
tanned that view of it. The drivers
talked it over together and agreed
that 1t was bad job.
