It is interesting to note how really national
this Philadelphia exhibition is, the collection
now on view representing the work OF artists
not only from Pennsylvania and nearby New
York, Baltimore and Washington, but also far
off California, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Florida, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota and Michigan. To suppose
that Boston, New York and Philadelphia are
the only producing centers of art in this
country would be to admit ones ignorance Of
the widespread development that hss taken
place not only In art appreciation but art pro-
duction throughout the United States in the
last few years.

Revenue Bureau Warns Tax
 Payers To Get Busy

The arrival of 1882 income tax blanks this week warned local taxpayers that it is once more time to get busy at the task of summing up their last years earnings in anticipation of March l, the date on which tithes must be paid to our Un- cle Samuel.
 As reported earlier, the new tax rates are much higher than we paid last year, being 4 per cent on the first $4,000 of net income, after deductions, with 8 per cent on the remain der above that figure. The old rates were 112 per cent on the first S4,000, 3 per cent for the next $4,000, and 5 per cent for the third S4,OOO.
 Exemptions allowed last year were $1,500 for single persons and S3,5O0 for heads of families. This year they are $1,O00 for single persons and $2,500 for heads of families.
 The credits for dependents remains the same as before, S400 for each individual.

WASHINGTON SENATOR
 URGES SILVER PURCHASE

Senator c. c. Dill, of Wash ing ton, introduced in the senate on January 9 a bill authorizing the treasury to purchase a quarter-billion dollars worth of silver bullion through the issu- ance of silver certificates.
 The silver would be bought at market prices up to a maxi mum of $1,25 per ounce. The bill also provides that the sil- yer certificates are to be legal tender.
 In support of the measure Dill said its enactment would raise the purchasing power of the nation by ,000,000,00O, initiate the hopes and activities of the people, and would not violate any present currency principles.

HIGHER INCOME TAX
 RATES ARE PROPOSED

Income tax rates decided on by President-elect Roosevelt and democratic leaders at a conference held last week will equal the levies assessed dur ing the war period, the highest ever imposed by the United States, according to Washing ton reports.
 They will start from a basis of 2 per cent higher than the rates now in force, which are much higher than any imposed since the 1921 revenue law was supplanted, it was said.
 Exemptions scheduled under the new plans would be S1, ,000 for unmarried persons and 3D. GOO for married earners, com pared to $1 ,000 fer unmarried persons and $2, 300 for married this year and $500 and $3,- 300 in 1882. The proposel l rate would be 6 per cent on the first $1,000 of net income and 12 per cent above that, in ad- dition to a graduated surtaX on incomes over $6,000.

ALASKA SECOND IN
 U. s. GOLD OUTPUT, 1882

California led the states in gold production lost year with a total of 566,031 ounces, val ued at $11,700,900, it was an- nounced in Washington news reports.
 Alaska was second with a production of 434,514 ounces, valued at $8,9S2,2OO.
 Utah led the states in the pro- duction of silver with an output of 7,815,956 ounces, valued at $2,204,099. The silver pro- duction of Alaska was 256,719 ounces, with a value of $71,- 415. The silver was valued at the New York average price of 28.8 cents per ounce.

INITIATION BY SILVER
 APPEARS PROBABLE

Strong prospects for imitation of the national currency by the employment of silver as a cur rency basis are indicated in late Washington reports stating that there is growing convict ion that the United States will go in for currency imitation and that the most likely way of bringing it about would be through the remonetization of silver. The method, however, is not assured, the reports say.
 Senators Borah and Hiram Johnson are advocating inflat- ion by the employment of sil- yer and various other influen- tial lawmakers have lately adopted the same view, it is said.
 Raise basic prices" is the basic theme of all arguments for recovery from the depress- ion and imitation is the only method that has so far been pointed out by which it could be done.

NEW UTAH SENATOR
 FAVORS BIMETALLISM

Ebert D. Thomas, democrat ic senator-elect from Utah, who will succeed Reed Shoot in the upper house, is an advocate of bimetallism as we'll as a believ- CT that present economic con- ditions are the result of un- sound monetary conditions.
 In a recent public statement, Senator Thomas expressed the belief that unemployment will largely disappear when a stab le monetary base has been es- tablished.
 ''I do not believe" he said, that we require any internat- ional action in order to estab- fish bimetallism. If we take action as the worlds greatest creditor nation, other nations will be benefited as we are and they will have no reason to object"
 Representative Lamneck, of Ohio, has also come to the front as an advocate of silver coinage by proposing the use of silver as a monetary re- serve, declaring use of the white metal in such manner to be a "sane, safe" way of solv- ing our economic difficulties.
 He endorsed the bill spon- sored by chairman Somers of the house coinage committee to permit the issuance of treasury notes against a silver reserve.

Typhoid Outbreak ketchikan

With a total of five cases of typhoid reported up to a few days ago, many Ketchikan resi- dents have sought immunity from the disease through the use of vaccine, according to the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 It is understood that the ex- act cause of the outbreak, in which all of the cases have de- veloped during the past month, has not been determined. In the meantime people are avoid ing unboiled vegetables and the like on the theory that something shipped in from the Outside has caused the illness. Milk and water tests have shown absence of danger from those sources.

ALASKA CLOSES YEAR
 WITH $271, 400 IN CASH

The Territory of Alaska closed the last calendar year with almost as much money in it's treasury as it had at the end of 1881 and none of it's funds we're in the red, according to statement by Territorial Treasurer w. c. Smith pub lished in the Juneau papers.
 The gross cash balance on the last day of the old year was $271,433.46, according to MT. Smith. This compares to S298,- 920.29 on December 31, 1881. Outstanding warrants totaled S31, ,4S0.06, leaving net bal ance of S239,953.4O, compared to a net balance of $261,363.84 at the close of 1881.
 It is probable that the treas ury balance will have been in creased to about $500,000 by March 1, the statement indicat- ed.

Library Board To Post
 Names Of Delinquents

A decision to post in the Pub lie Library the names of per sons taking books and failing to return them in the generous period allowed was taken at a meeting of the board of direct ,ors of the library held We'd nesday evening.
 The new board is determined to stamp out as far as possible the practice of keeping books beyond the allotted period, of- ficials said, and may even go to the length. of demanding secur- ity deposits from such delin- quents or disbarring them from receiving books, if less drastic measures will not suf- flee.

Northland and Norco To
 Carry Alaska Mails

Imroved Alaska mail service during the present year is in- dicated in reports from Juneau
 stating that the motorships Northland and Norco have been authorized by the post office department to carry let ter and newspaper mail be- tween Seattle and southeast Alaska ports whenever such vessels can advance the trans portation of first and second class mail matter. The estab- lishment of the new service is due primarily to efforts of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.

BANK MAKES THIRD
 RETURN TO DEPOSITORS

Payment of a twelve and one- half reimbursement dividend to depositors of the defunct Bank of Hyder was announced this week by E. D. Haddon, Re- ceiver.
 Under an order of the United States District Court issued on January 2, approximately $4,- 900 will be returned to deposit ors, commencing today.
 The dividend is the third to be paid since the establish ment of the receivership early in the the past summer, follow ing the voluntary closure of the bank April 12, and represents a return of 7712 per cent of all depositors claims against the bank. This means in terms of dollars that $33,OOO of the $40,000 owed by the bank to it's depositors will have been re- turned to them when the distri- button is completed, leaving only $7,000 of all depositors claims still unpaid.
 To secure the ultimate repay ment of this balance, the re- ceiver has available over $51,- 900 in assets, hence there is ev- cry prospect that claimants will ultimately receive the full amount of their claims. With any measurable improvement in local conditions, this can be done very quickly, according to MT. Haddon.
 Checks for claimants to Unit ed States funds were mailed by MT. Haddon today, but claim ants of Canadian funds will have to wait for their dividend until January 26, as the checks covering such claims must b: issued by the depository of the funds in Juneau and cannot reach here before that date. MT. Haddon was unable to in- icate just when a further divi- dend can be expected, as it will depend largely upon the time required to convert still unliq- uidated assets into cash.
