DEPUTY MARSHAL DREAMER
 HAS INTERESTING JOURNEY

In an interview with Deputy Mar shal w. E. H. Creamer. who return ed recently from an official trip in charge of two prisoners. represen- tatiye of the Nugget relates the fol- lowing story. as told by MT. Cream CT:
 "On July 1st left Nome with warrant for the arrest of Max Gottt- schalk and Perry Warner. They were last heard from at Nelson Is- land. The gas boat Agnes of the N C. Company, was chartered at St. Michael for the trip. On the South fork of the Yukon the vessel proved unseaworthy and the schoon- CT Goodhope was chartered instead.
 Information gathered along the line of the river changed my plans. so course was laid for Nunivak Island. It was there that Max Gottschalk was served.
 A native guide was hired and the vessel proceeded on to Bethel. on the kuskokwim river. These waters were navigatad without great deal of trouble. sitAough there are many sand bars 20 miles out to sea.
 "The s. s. Tupper went to Bethel this season, drawing + feet of wat CT. At many places the lead line showed 40 feet O water.
 There was an exc ptionally good catch of fur in the valley this sea- son and the native population is prosperous some of them even had Johnson motors sent in by air mail. paying S1 per pound fir igh'. Some fine garden truck is grown by the Moravian Mission at Bethel, such as large cucumbers, tomaties. f beans. squash, turnips. lettuce. etc. "On the outside of the variou dwellings some beautiful pansies are grown. Jim Grown, trader. is experimenting with several kinds of grains and fertilizers. w. also visited the large fox ranch of Alec Hatley. manager and port owner. with several prominent citizens, who are interested in the venture. The pens are 25 25 feet and are located on high, dry ground. The wiring. alone. landed. cost S5.000. There are about 12o fox on this ranch-blues and whites. The young blues were very cute. Tn ad- tlition there are about 100 mink.

 "Mr Hatley ilas an observation tower 40 feet high where. in his leisure moments. he studies the foxes
 Many old timers were met and the stay in Bethel was very enjoy able.
 "u. s. Deputy Marshal Frank Wiseman delivered the person of Perry Warner, whom he had ar restted several days previously. and the Goodhope proceeded to get un- der way for Nome.
 "On starting the engine it was found that the propeller was lost. A search of the town was made. but 1t was hard to Ind a suitable one. The Goodhope left on the tide but the new propeller was too small and little headway was made. So the Captain beached the vessel and spliced few inches onto each blade. From then on. better time was made. During a s. E. blow. 20 miles from Nunivak Island, the key worked loose and the propeller

The Goodhope has only one mast, and therefore is not adapted for sailing, except with a fair wind. Hera is wher the pilot earned his money. but being raised on the is land he knew all the small coves.
 By this time real southeaster was on and the visibility was poor. After few hours land was sighted and small cove near Cape Corwin gave the vessel shelter from the sea. The vessel was warped into shal low water by dropping an anchor 300 yards ahead and pulling it in with rope. The vessel was pull ed in about 5000 yards. and when the tide went out We were high and dry. Here repairs were made but we were compelled to r~maiu in shelter for several days. A few days later the pilot was delivered to the village and the wind and tide threw the GooN' ome rocks. but fortuL.s~.. laga was done.
 From Nunivak Island the Good hope left for Nelson -Sf'a.a and anchored in feel. 5s wateft The wind increased and it became nec- stream back of the native village There is about foot tide. and 1t left us high and dry.

 The village owns all the dogs in common. The first man hitches up as many dogs as he can get. and the last man takes what is left. A sight of interest to many of us was the Cashim. or Civic Center. It is large underground igloo 40 X 40 feet. with rough hewn log floor. double deck benches all around the sides. In the center. sunk in the floor, is the fireplace. A few of us went stunning On entering the Cashim it was found to be occupied by about 30 natives taking a sweat bath By some mystic power we were again back in the days of Adam and Eve. Every now ana then the women would enter and give some man bowl of fish. un- til all had dined.

And, tho rich while living,
You're a pauper when you die.

As thru life they weary plod,
Place your bank account in heaven
And grow rich toward your God.
Use it carefully, use it freely,
Do not hoard it to be proud;

THIS AMENDMENT

A proposed amendment to the
state constitution is being publish
ed in the Courier-Reporter tn $
week. It wouldn't be sueh . bad
plan for everyone in Benton county
to read it, tho it is doubtful in
deed, if the average person viii
understand what the significance
of the amendment is.
The amendment has to do with
the classification of property by
the state legislature for taxation
purposes. That, If adopted, it viii
operate to reduce taxes by spread
ing the load justly, as is the os-
tensfble purpose of the amend
ment, is doubted by many students
Of taxation.
Taxes, like the poor, as the Bible
says, we shall always have with us.
Money must be raised to carry on
county, state and national govern
ments. No one really wants to re-
duce taxes; one wants werely to
shift them to the other fellow. We

zens; we urge it to spend money
lavishly, but we kick when we are

tax statement.
The cry continually goes up
from the demagogues Gas well as
from persons who have the well
fare of the public earnestly at
hearty that 'fbig" business does
not pay its share Of the tax bur
den, that intangible assets such as
stocks. bonds, mortgages and other
invested money regularly escape
assessment. This is true to a more
or less extent, and probably al
ways will be true. A Kennewick
farm that is worth $1,000 un-
doubtedly pays more taxes in pro-
office building or factory in a city.

Much intangible property that en-
Much Intangible property that en-
joys all the benefits of the state
does not pay at all.
Nearly everyone will agree that
there is need for readjustment
in the valuations of the va
rious classes of property, but some
of the best informed men in the
state are not willing to admit that
the wording of the proposed change
in the constitution is just what is
wanted. The present proposition
seems to open the doors for a sit
uation in the tax muddle which will
be far worse than our present plan.
At any rate, it is a proposition
which merits some attention and
should not be blindly voted for.
AS an argument in favor OF an
early registration, we might add
that those whose names are on the
registration books before August 6
will have the proposed bill in its
entirety, mailed to them by the
secretary Of state, and the argu-
ments for both sides will be print
ed in pamphlet form. Get your
names on the registration books
at once, get the pamphlet and read
the arguments for and against the
proposition, so that you may be
able to vote intelligently on the
proposed amendment.

GREEfS MEETING

A message from the Union Pa

Nicaraguan conference Of the All
America Anti-Imperialist League at
the Labor Temple, 84th st. and Third
Ave., Sunday.
The Union Patriotique is recognized
as the outstanding nationalist organ

tary of the League, said last night,
having widespread support among
the Haitian people.
"Its delegation to the Pan American
Conference at Havana, led by Pierre
Hudicourt, was arrested by the Wall
Street-owned Cuban government and
sent home, without being allowed to
60 near the conference hail." Gomez
continued. "The delegation had gone
to Havana to protest against the con-
tinued United States military rule
over the republic of Haiti"
The conference Sunday will mark
an important stage in the campaign
which the All-America Anti-Imper-

PLUNKETT GIVEN
PRAISE BY Green
Says Labor Favors "De-
fense" Program

Personally representing William
Green, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, Hugh Frayne, A.
F. of L. organizer in New York, read
long letter from Green praising Ad-
miral Plunkett, and boosting the pres
ent war preparations at the testimon-
ial dinner given in his honor at the
Waldorf Hotel last night.
The letter paid respect and trib-
ute" to Admiral Plunkett after pro-
fuse apologies by Green for not being
able to attend in person. President
Green stated in his letter that the
"war admiral" was known as true
friend of labor.
Green went so far in his letter to
state that labor twill always hold
Plunkett in high esteem," and to laud
his relationship with the workers at
the Brooklyn Navy Yards, which does
not even approach being a closed shop
at the present time. The letter ended
with the statement that labor believed
peace could best be maintained thru
development of all the means of de-
fense, taken as big boost both for
the present navy building program
and the movement for a big merchant
marine which was the keynote pur-
pose of this meeting.
