SAYS DISTRICT WILL PRODUCE MORE GOLD
 THAN CALIFORNIA

That the Portland Canal min eral area will produce more gold in the twentieth century than California produced in the nineteenth, is the splendid boost given to this district by B. A. O'Farrell in a recent is- sue of Unbiased Opinions, well known Spokane publicat- ion.
 MT. O'Farrell, who in addit- ion to being a noted traveller and journalist, is also recog- : nized authority on mining mat ters, ventures this unqualified prophecy in connection with an article on the Canadian in- come tax policy, in which he also asserts that the Premier mine has sufficient ore re- 5erves to insure dividend pay ments for 20 years or longer and but for the excessive in- come tax payments eXacted by the Dominion and British Columbia governments, would be operated on a scale so vast as to make the present scope of it's activities almost insig- nificant.
 Excluding comments which do not refer directly to the Premier or Portland Canal dis trict, the article says:
 In the Portland Canal area alone more gold will be pro- duced in the twentieth cen tury than California produced in the nineteenth. Only one mine in this district has so far been properly equipped. This is the Premier. It has an aerial tramway, a 400-ton mill and in six years it has made net profits of more than $10,0O0,- 900. In addition to this sum the Dominion and British Col umbia have received several millions in income tax.
 Were it not for the exorbitant income tax policy of the do- minion and the Provice the Premier would now be milling 12,O00 tons of ore daily and earning net profits of $5,000,- poo a year.
 The Premier is now paying $1,600,000 a year in dividends, and competent engineers who have recently examined it's ore reserves assure me that out of it's own mines the Pre- mier can keep on paying divi- dends for the next twenty years and most probably for much longer period. Its high grade ore runs $200 to the ton. Its milling ore averages in gold and 10 oz. in silver to the ton and the concentrates pay taxes and dividends.
 But in British Columbia the government grabs 10 per cent of the net smelter returns and the Dominion filches another 10 per cent. Income tax extort- ions explains why the Premier does not enlarge it's mill to four or five times it's present capaci- ty."

Device That Combines
Field Glass and Gun

A field-glass gun has been devised
which serves the purpose of both .
light gun and a powerful glass "A
short barrel is rugged between paiI
of telescopes, and bar with a re
coil pad extends to the forehead tc
take the kick" from the discharge
If a heavy caliber is used, shoulder
stock can also be provided so that the
shooter will not suffer too great @
shock.
The telescope gun does better work
than the ordinary rife telescope be
cause 1t gives the advantage Of pair
Of binoculars and is much lighter and
more convenient to handle. The old
rifle telescope, which has become fair,
ly common, does not allow enough
light to reach the eye, so that Its best
use is confined to target shooting. A
deer hunter in the woods is hardly
able to distinguish an animal he has
seen when he sights through the tele-
scope. Two well-constructed tele-
scopes, mounted as part of the gun
as in this device, should prove OF
great value, and may replace the old
type, just as binoculars have replaced
the telescope in a great many uses OF
the latter instrument.

Use of Rifle Dates
From Border Warfare

The use Of the rife in America has
been general since the war of 1754-63,
known to us as the French and Indian
war, in which Braddock was defeated.
From what can learn, the flint
lock rifle, as we generally understand
the weapon, dates from about the be-
ginning Of the Eighteenth century. My
reasons for believing this are the
statements that Captain Dillon has a
good specimen with a date of 1719, II
I recall correctly, stamped in the
metal of the barrel The photo Of this
rifle shows 1t to have been the con-
ventional long-barreled, short-stOcked,
single triggered model made and used
so widely in the border wars and the
Revolution.
have read in very old books that
King Philip, the Indian chieftain Of
New England, in his great war with
the Colonists in 1875 or some such
date, had a rifled weapon. 1t may
have been true, but l believe the rifle
dates to the early part of the Eight
eenth century as far as general use
Is concerned. / believe the first max
ers were the German settlers Of Penn
sylvania.-Mr. Virgins, In Adventure
Magazine.

Wasp L0rUd Feeds on
Carcass Of T0r0ntuE0

The common tarantula which Ia 20
dreaded by man has as one OF its most
deadly enemies a mere wasp, nowhere
near its size. DIR. Alexander Petrunke-
witch, professor Of zoology OF Yale
university, has made a detailed STUDY
Of the habits Of this digger-wasp and
its victim. This species Of wasp feeds
her offspring on an exclusive diet OF
tarantula. AS soon as the wasp Ia
ready to lay her egg, she goes In
search of prey. She is guided Dy
sight Of the burrow Of the tarantula,
which supinely submits while the
wasp grasps one Of her legs between
her mandibles and inserts the poison
sting into her side. With the taran'
tula thus l,aralyzed, the wasp cleans
herself carefully, ticks the oozing
blood neatly from the wound, and
drags the unconscious victim over to
grave which she has already dug in
advance, Borgiallke, for the occasion.
The tarantula is stuffed into the grave
and the wasp lays her egg on the
corpse" She covers the opening
with earth and goes away. The paraly-
sis affects the entire body and stops
the heart. Nevertheless a gradual
recovery takes place, but the taran-
tula cannot escape because the earth
has been packed too tightly over her.
When the larva energies from the
wasp egg it feeds on its paralyzed
provision until it is old enough to
leave SITS underground birthplace.

PugnGcity at Bottom
of All Birds Songs

In an illustrated lecture on "The
Language Of Birds" at the Royal in
stitute in London, Prof ]. @. Patten
said the language Of birds was of
three different types; alarm notes. call
notes, and song proper. The alarm
notes, associated with combat, did not
carry as far as the song, but were
often very piercing.
The song was built up Of notes rap
idly put together, and the call notes
were the call Of the helpless young
asking for their parents or Of birds
when mating. The song Of bird
was not a sympathetic or thanksgiv-
ing outburst; 1t was essentially asser-
tive, declaring "Tm here with an
mdercurrent of rivalry or pugnacity.
Two robins would sing at each other
before fighting, and sing again after
coming to grips.
No bird sang so well as the black
bird from the point of view of time
and rhythm and the fact that he had
motif in his song. The thrush was
always in the imelight and could sing
16 hours out Of the "a at a stretch.
The blackcap had short, hubby note.
The gray linnet has the most beau
tiful voice. A bird was never shy
when singing, and he would sing under
the most adverse circumstances.
The department Of a bird when
singing offered an object lesson to hui
man singers; the head was held well
up and the voice came right out of
its throat The best singers all had
somber plumage.

The island Of Formosa CTaiwan)
has been a Japanese possession since
1895. For ten years the home govern
ment was forced TO pour funds into
the island treasury in order to main
tain it's administration. Since 1905,
however, the island has been more
than self-supporting, and since 1909
has contributed to the revenues Of ia
pan proper. The revenues and expen-
ditures Of Taiwan have grown enor-
mously under Japanese rule and at
the present time amount to around
100000 yen annually. The budget
has never shown a deficit

Origin OF a Style

During the time of Louis XIV two
Englishwomen had come to be pre-

caught on Immediately" writes Eileen
Bourne in Liberty, explaining the
Eighteenth-century vogue Of pow

Hairs on Human Head

Instruments recently invented are
capable Of counting the hairs on the
head and giving other data of interest
to hairdressers. 1t has been shown
that the number of hairs growing on
the average head is from 100000 to
100000, varying with the texture Of
the hair. Human hair grows at the
rate Of half an inch a month";

"Hapertas" occurs in a very old

that the cloth was named after the
haberdasher who sold it, and not the
haberdaSher after the cloth.

Applicant For Judiciary
Says Roosevelt Was Not
Good American Citizen"
(By D1spatcn A. P. Wire,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 The
Americanism of Theodore Roosevelt
was brought into question today
before the senate judiciary commit
tee by Wallace McCamant of Ore
gon, whose nomination as a federal
circuit judge is under fire.
Judge McCamant, who is serving
on the bench in the ninth circuit
under a recess appointment by
President Coolidge, declared Roose-
velt was not ga good American" be-
cause, as the Bull Moose candidate
for president in 1912 he had advo
Gated " the recall of judicial de-
cisions."
This declaration aroused the ire
of Senator Johnson, republican, Cali
fornia, running mate with Roose-
welt, and who is opposing Judge Nc
Camant's confirmation on the ground
that he violated pledge to the
voters of Oregon to support the re-
publican presidential nomination in
1920 the candidate who won out in
the oregon primaries.
Declaring that any man who held
such views regarding Roosevelt was
unfit to sit on the bench of the
highest American court save the SUI
preme court, Senator Johnson said:
'If any man who says Theodore
Roosevelt was not a good American
can, be confirmed by the senate of
the United States as a judge of the
courts of the United States, I want
to know it,
