IN THE SHADOWS OF HARRIFER-
 GUS WALL STREET

Because it had the longest purse, New York-center of all that is poli- tically vicious, in the opinion of such stalwart champions of the people as William J. Bryan has won the 1924 democratic national convention. The convention was placed on the auction block and the eastern city was the highest bidder Certainly victory for mammon and a blow at those del icately adjusted democratic conscien- ces which cannot think of Gotham without erupting over the sins of the rich.
 But even the democratic national committee cannot live on air. Money shouts. The national committee faces a deficit of $1S0000 from the 1920 dis aster The San Francisco boosters had a check for $200,000 and in addi- tion promised $125,O00 worth of enter tainment New York raised the ante to $205,000 and won. The committee will be able to lift it's debt and have $25,O0O as a nest egg for 1924. It may be, indeed, that the convention will be held in the shadow of Wall Street-at least near enough to that famous district to be contaminated but little contamination can be with stood for $25 000 Besides, New York which has not had a national cOnven tion of q major party since 1868 throws in such concessions as Corey island, special shopping attractions for the ladies, wonderful theatrica district. and a touch of high life foi such delegates as may care to joir 1 in.
 The selection of New York may be regarded in some quarters as some thing of a jolt to McAdoo, who ~once was a New Yorker but who reformed l and went to California-even if he diC settle down rather close to Holly wood. McAdoo is a sort of Californi; candidate, therefore. He realizes tha New York is not altogether enthusi astic for his theories, and besides Nev York is not favorable to the McAdo' brand of dryness. Yet he will possi ply derive some comfort from the a
 surance of the New York booster
 that if the convention is held at tn
 metropolis the democratic nominee
 whoever he may be, will have bel ter chance of carrying the state.
 Mr. Bryan, who is counted upon t
 lambaste the plutocrats-even thoug he has practically put himself in tha
 class-has not emitted a protest sine

MABEL NGRMAND AND
 HER COMPANION SPLIT

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 3O.-
 Mrs. Edith Burns, companion for many years to Mabel Normand mo- tion picture actress, admitted tonight that the shooting of Courtland s. Dimes, Denver oil operator, by Miss Normand's chauffeur here New Years night, has resulted in her dismissal by the screen star, but added that despite thefact that this little affair has temporarily separated us, I love her with all my heart"
 Of Horace A. Greer, the chauffeur who shot and seriously wounded the oil operator Mrs. Burns declared, "if there ever was fine boy, it was that driver. A better man never lived and certainly hope he gets out of this trouble"
 I was discharged or rather let out " Mrs. Burns explained, because allowed the police to enter Mabel's home and told them the truth about what I knew of the events leading up to the shooting."
 Mrs. Burns had much to say of the temptations thrown in Miss Nor. mand's way by gay companions and admitted that she had endeavored to keep the motion picture actress away from Dimes and Edna Purvi ance, screen actress wso was ir Dimes apartment when the shooting occurred, as much as possible.

 T want you to understand tha my efforts to keep Mabel away iron Dimes and Edna were not on accoun of any personal malice against them, hse added, but, they did not exercise a good influence over her."

WlSCONSlN'S STATE INCOME
 TAX

Frank NJ. Dallam, Jr., prominent writer of this state and former secre- tarv to Governor Marion E. Hay, of this state, has been making an inves- tigation of the operation of the state income tax in Wisconsin, where the law has been on the statute books for many years In view of the adopt ion of the principle in Oregon and the biennial proposal for it's adoption ln this state, Mr Dallam's findings are interesting.
 In Portland Oregonian, which as signed Mr. Dallam to study the effects of the tax in Wisconsin, it is shown that the attempts of the state to du- nlicate the federal governments ap- plication of the state are not all that might be desired.
 Whatever else may be said for the state income tax, the article says 'he record has exploded the argument that the income tax would reduce the burden imposed on real property The additional revenues nave gwen impetus to the activities of the tax snenders and the cost of government in Wisconsin has far outstripped the increase in returns from the income tax with the result that the general nroperty tax has mounted with every growing momentum" In lsl9' 'he income tax, with the result
 income tax yielded $1 631,4l3 ana 'he total general property tax s37,99S'ooo' In 1922. the receipts from the norman income tax were s7,06S,S2O and rom surtaxes s3,O13,369, or a total of slo' os21SO. while the general property totaled $106,2O0 900.
 Tn not a single year since the state income tax became effective mas the general property tax ln Wlscon sin been reduced,' writes MT. Dallah "On the contrary every year has shown increases in the property tax sharply rising between 1915 ana lSl4 gradually from 1914 to 1918 and falrl! n,u,tinlving from 1918 to 1922.
 The state commission sought t' show in a report that the lscome 'a1 largely exempted the farmers, where as ii fell more heavily on merchants manufacturers and others enjoying large income"
 Such arguments have had the effec of convincing the legislature that WIS consin has available source of rev enue that can finance "any proJec that catches the fancy of the liberal minded and generous-hearted publl spenders," Mr. Dallam says, and 1T stead of tapping this reservoir 0 wealth to relieve the general proper ty holder it has been utilized to SUI ply the funds for several newly devl: ed outlays, while still many othe schemes narrowly missed being laul ched at the last session"
 This is another instance then, wher a perfect theory has failed to worl The argument for the state incom tax is that it will relieve real prope ty, which is carrying considerabl more than three-fourths of the ta burden. So far as Wisconsin is col cerned-and probably the examp

FORCES WIN
 SkIRMISH IN HOUSE BUT
 BATTLE IS NOT YET OVER

WASHINGTON D. C., Jan. 3O-De- cision of the republican caucus to in struct the house ways and means com mittee to report a tax bill before con- sidering a soldier bonus measure does not mean that the bonus has been de feated.
 The victory of the tax reduction forces who want to give right-of-way to a tax bill is, of course, significant and never would have occurred but for the unprecedented flow of letters and telegrams to congress urging that taxes be made paramount.
 But the fight is by no means over. The republican members of the house were the only ones voting at the eau GUS. The vote of 100 to S7 on one re solution and 109 to S7 on another giv- ing the tax bill priority over the bon us. does not represent the strength of the bonus in the house. More than half of the democratic membership is said to be pledged to a bonus. In deed, if the bonus advocates wish to obtain a real test of their strength they could move to discharge the ways and means committee and have it instructed by a vote of the house itself to take up the bonus. If the de mocrats voted on that measure as so many republicans did in their caucus the ways and means committee would have to take up the bonus first.
 The chances are, however, that the bonus advocates will not precipitate a controversy in the house at this time on the question of priority, but will reserve their energies for the greater fight which will come when the tax bill has been reported about February II, and the ways and means committee brings out bonus bill for action by the house.
 Little time is needed by the com mittee to consider the bonus measure as it has gone through congress be fore and virtually the same measure is ready for presentation at this ses sion.

is not far from typical-it has result ed merely in increasing expenditures.
 The experience there is likely to be repeated in Oregon unless the tax spenders are vigorously curbed! and, if it is, Washington will have an ob- feet lesson that cannot fail to be con- vincing when the issue is raised a gain in this state.

of gold from the same ledge in the
gulch but had never penetrated the
rocky hillside for a continuance of
the deposit. From this ledge, the
dredge in its first day of operation
there, took $4,000 in gold.
These four dredges continued OPP
Grafton until they had worked all
of the gravel in the valley and the
gulch and had recovered all that was
possible of the gold which had not
been removed in the more shallow
workings of the placer miners of the
early period, adding nearly $1,000
900 to the fabulous sums recovered
in the early days of Alder gulch and
Virginia City.
In the approximately 20 years of
the operations of the dredges up
wards of 1000 acres were mined and
reduced to gravel heaps such as are
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton.
In the early days of these opera
lions, power was obtained by steam
in the development of which cord
wood was used. Each Of the dredg-
es consumed about Is cords of wood

scarce and coal was resorted to as
the most economical fuel. Coal, how
ever, was a fuel requiring a long
wagon haul, and in 1901 a branch of
the Northern Pacific railway was
constructed up the Ruby valley to
Alder, a point a mile or two below
the Conrey ranch, and this afforded
an ample supply of fuel. Electricity
was largely used in later years and at
night the dredges were brilliantly
illuminated. Two or three years ago
the last of the dredges ceased oper-
ations and now nothing but the i'm
mense stretches of gravel piles, and
decaying hulks of one or more of the
dredges and a few heaps of iron and
worn out machinery remain as mon
uments to the industry of man and to
mark the sites of some of the
worlds greatest gold deposits.
Long before these deposits had
been worked out, however, Gordon
Mckay, head Of the company, died,
and the control of the company
passed to Harvard University, which,
for a number of years, received a
large income from its holdings in
this Montana industry.

GOVERNOR ERICKSON is

Whether or not Judge Erickson,
governor-elect of Montana, is
aware of it, he is a full Pledged
member of the tribe of Blackfeet
Indians. AT an Indian pow-wow
before election, he with other can
didates was admitted, although he
was not at the meeting. Previous
to the meeting, Judge Erickson
was known throughout the reser-
walton by the nickname of 'Bushy
HAIR" but this was changed at the
time of his adoption and he was
given the title of "Bear Cat"
named after Chief White Calf, now
dead. The governor-elect is the
only white man to have this honor
bestowed on him. The son of White

of land in the valley and gulch had
been acquired by the company and
the work was pushed as far up the
gulch as it was physically able to og
and obtain colors. In places in the
valley and gulch the bed rock was
found to be from 10 to rs feet below
the surface and it required immense
and powerful c~ontrivances to bring
up the rock, gravel and dirt from
that depth and properly handle it so
as to save the precious yellow metal.
At some points the larger dredge
is known to have burrowed to a
depth of 40 feet and was able to
handle gravel at a profit carrying as
low as eight cents in gold to the cubic
yard of material.
In working we'll up Alder gulch,
where the gulch became narro and
twisty, a rocky point jutted into the
valley opposite what is known as
Water gulch. To go around this
point involved engineering difficult
ties which were though to be too diff
ficult and it was decided to cut
through the point. Finding that the
character of the material handled
was preventing the saving of con-

~ LANDING in a little rural park

of the automobile highway winding
I'D the beautiful Bitter Root valley,
is a bronze tableted pedestal of con-
crete dedicated to the soldiers of the
United States who have given the1r
lives to the cause of liberty in the
wars in which this nation has par
ticipated.
Occupying a position in a little
grove set apart to that purpose and
situated at a considerable distance
from my community, its nearest
neighbor being a farm house down
the road where is maintained the
post office serving that portion OF
the valley, the monument is unique
and in its loneliness draws to it the
attention of the passerby.
The pedestal is of concrete, from
eight to ten feet in height, and is
surmounted by a metal Flagstaff,
from which on patriotic occasions is
floated the Stars and Stripes.
Five bronze plates are set in the
upper portion of the pedestal, one
in each of the five faces OF that por-
ton, bearing the names of five OF
the leading nations which part1c1-
pated in the recent World war on the
side of democracy and liberty. These
read gu. S. A., England, France"
Italy, and Japan"
Lower down on the main portion
of the pillar of concrete are set 9TH
er bronze tablets, the larger of which
bears this inscription:
ssTo those citizens of the United
States who at the call of humanity
laid aside their vocations to become
soldiers in the grand army of liberty
this memorial is dedicated, 1922"
Beneath a bronze plate inscribed
est. Mihie1" is another, as a memorial
to a soldier from the Bitter Root
who gave up his life in the battle by
that name, which reads:
John Edmund Mcconnell, Died in
France, Sep. II, 1913"
Another plate carries the inscrip-
ton s"Tuscania'', and beneath that is
a tablet to one who lost his life In
that disaster, Marcus Barrett
Cook. Born at Como. Died In Scot
land" While below a plate dedicated
10 Lu9 ". IA. II. 10 obii
let to a veteran of the Civil War,

ton, April 81, 1913"
This memorial shaft was erected IN
this little Como park, on the Park to
Park highway, by a veteran of the
Civil wal residing in the Bitter Root
valley, Lieutenant Hiram Platt, who
served in the LIST Pennsylvania cav
airy through that conflict, and who
is a member of the John G. Fremont
Post, No. 81, Grand Army of the
Republic.
1t was donated by Lieut.. Platt as
a memorial in honor of the heroes
who have upheld the honor and ira
ditions of the United States in times
Of war.
The memorial was erected early in
the summer of 1922 and was fittingly
dedicated on the Sunday afternoon
of June II, 1922, in the presence Of
