Deer Hunters Safe
After Days In Woods
Albert Bjorge And Tacoma Man
Found; One Death
This Year

Two deer hunters, lost in the wild
hill country in the northwestern
section of the county, ended inten-
sive searches that had been carried
on for several days when they
emerged from the woods this week.
One of them, Albert Bjorge, Yak
ina, wandered 40 miles from his
hunting camp on Long Swamp, 81
miles west of LOOMS, coming out at
Winthrop, the sheriff's office at
Okanogan was notified yesterday.
Last week H. F. Engoe, Tacoma,
disappeared in the upper Methow
valley while hunting and searchers
secured the country in which he
was lost several days, without sue
cess. Early this week he returned
to his camp safe and sound, accord
ing to report received at the sher-
ifs office yesterday.
Fear that one or both of the lost
hunters were victims of climbing or
shooting tragedies was held by
searchers who combed the areas in
which the two men were lost.
Bjorge's three companions, all Of
Yakima, notified the sheriff's office
Wednesday evening that the missing
man had failed to show up at their
hunting camp Tuesday evening, af-
ter leaving early in the morning.
Becoming alarmed, they made a
hurried search but could find no
trace of their companion.
Sheriff Boyd Hilderbrand and
James Wells, state highway patrol
man, left Immediately for the area,
after notifying r. Grantham OF
Conconully to go to the camp and
keep a lookout for Bjorge on his
way in. Thursday the report came
to the sheriff's office that Bjorge
had crossed a high ridge, and gone
down Twenty mile creek to the
Chewack river, which he followed
into Winthrop.
One Death This Year
The rough, mountainous hunting
country in that section of the coun-
ty already has claimed one hunters
life this season. Monday afternoon,
October 81, the crushed body OF
Albert Sund, Tonasket, was found
on the floor of a canyon 600 feet
from where Sund had slipped on
the edge of a steep cliff while hunt
ing near Blue Lake, in the Upper
Pine creek country.
His hunting companions became
alarmed when he failed to return to
their automobile at an hour speci
fled before they started to hunt.
The body was found after a day
long search by several parties has.

Manslaughter Law
Urged By McCauley
Unlawful Hunting Cause Q
Deaths, Former County
Sheriff Claims

Stating frankly that most Of the
states hunting fatalities have been
due only to carelessness and disre-
gard of the law, Bernard T. Nc
Cauley, acting state director Of
game, has recommended a man
slaughter charge in every case where
q hunter is mistaken for a deer and
shot, according to Seattle news
dispatch.
He blamed several of the Pacific
Northwest's l3 hunting season fatal
tiles to unlawful hunting.
Deer hunters may bag only bucks
with branched antlers," NGcCauley, a
former Okanogan county sheriff,
said. eff they do not look for
branched antlers before they fire,
they hunt in absolute carelessness
and disregard of law.
State Law Might Help
"A rnanslaughter charge should be
filed in every case where hunter
is mistaken for a deer. A state law
against handling firearms in a
reckless manner would stop lot Of
this trouble.
McCauley said he marvels there
have not been more deaths, consid-
ering the great number of hunters.
He said his department has sold all
its $1,000 big game seals. He esti-
mated 10000 to $4,000 persons hunt
ed upland birds and migratory
waterfowl this season.
"Most deaths are caused by young
hunters who should he, but are not,
trained by their parents before go
ing into the country. They shoot
too quickly. Experienced hunters,
generally, are cautious" he said.

Weather Man AIDS
County Sportsmen;
Many Deer Killed

Reports from the Methow valley
and the highlands in the LOOMS
and Crawfish lake territories reveal
that the weather man came to the
aid of the deer hunters during the
last few days of the season, which
closed Friday.
Shows IN Jne hills, covered by a
blanket several inches deep early
this week, sent many deer to the
lowlands. Another storm Tuesday
covered the country above Twisp

hunters were warned that horses
would be necessary for packing in

Rural Areas High
Tax Survey Shows
Reports Show That 46 Per Cent
Falls On Small
Communities

OLYMPIA, November 5.-Explod-
ing the theory that cities pay all
the property taxes, the state tax
commission today revealed a survey
showing rural areas pay 46 per cent
of the total tax bill.
A total of $48 ,442,533 was levied
for collection in Washington in 1885.
Of this total, $26, 158,969 was on city
property and 1928 ,564 on rural.
The commission ascribed the large
rural assessment to heavy holdings
of timber and power and railroad
lines in the country.
The states total assessed valua-
ton was 1866 1859 $50 with 1921 BILL
998 in cities and $444, TAT ,O82 on rural
property.
Millage Declines
The commissions survey showed
the average tax on city holdings was
5o.11 mills, while the county dweller
paid an average of 5O.13 mills. Due
to reduction of maximum road dis
trict millage under initiative "a from
10 mills to 3 mills, the 1885 average
levy was mills under the preceding
year.
While the country is almost on q
par with cities for paying property
taxes, the sales tax extracts revenues
where the population is. Since
Washington has 1889 persons liv-
ing in cities and 678,857 outside, the
percentage of the burden borne by
city jewellers would be slightly
larger than under the property tax.

ALLOT $l47,96l
FOR EXPENSES
INNEW BUDGET
County Commissioners Fix 1886
Budget At $4,000 More
Than This Year
Receipts Increase
More Revenue From Taxes And
County Offices Expected
Next Year

Faced with mounting costs in
some departments and funds, in
Guiding chiefly election items and
Increases in the INDECENT and indi-
gent blind funds, county commits
stoners yesterday announced a 1896
budget which exceeds by more than
$4,000 the 1885 budget estimate.
Figures released yesterday by Mrs.
Lucille s. Burghardt, county audi
tor and clerk of the board of COM
rnissioners, reveal that the 1886
budget total just fixed by the
county board is $147,961, compared
with $124,26O set for 1885. The 1886
total, however, includes an $1,000
appropriation needed to cover en-
ergency warrants issued in the cur
rent year.
The budget task was complicated
by the necessity of providing $500
for primary and general election
costs, and $500 more than the cur
rent years budget for INDECENT and
INDECENT blind pensions.
Included in the budget total for
1886 is $33,361 for the county school
fund. Although this amount is APP
proximately $4,000 less than the total
required by law, based on pupil day
attendance, the commissioners have
agreed to reimburse the schools by
diverting that amount from the
forest grazing fund, usually set
aside for roads.
Revenue Up This Year
Anticipated revenue also runs
higher than that expected for the
current year when the 1885 budget
was drawn. The commissioners ex-
pect to receive about $500 more
from taxes, $4,000 more from office
earnings, and about $4,000 from sale
of county property, timber and re-
turns from the county farm.
The total income will be $143,O41,
leaving an unprovided for budget
over-run of $4919, the figures show.
Following is a table showing the
figures included in the new 1886
budget, and the current years bud
get:

BILLED AT LOCAL THEATRE

Fighting Bonds War Aneev
Liberty Lien, in Court to Make New
Kind of History.

chine was being driven at q frantic
pace. Then, as now, Washington was
the hub of the mighty national effort
to defeat a powerful enemy. And
here in the Nations capital the fight
ing bond was born.
For weeks the United States Treas
ury had been preparing to issue the
Fourth Liberty issue. Quotas were
assigned to each city. Washington,s
was $27,000,000. BY early October
1918, the intensive sales campaign
had whipped the country into a pa
triotic frenzy.
Those with gifted tongues were en-
listed as speakers. President Wilson
and members of his Cabinet, sorely
pressed as they were by extra duties
entailed by the war, appeared in per-
sonal engagements to sell the issue tc
the public. Society leaders, business
captains, movie stars, laborers and
shell-torn soldiers exhorted Ameri-
cans to buy all they could, and then
buy more. One publicity stunt that
delighted the Nation was the sending
of Douglas Fairbanks by airmail from
Washington to New York to aid the
sales there.
The Nations mighty drive to sell
the bonds is reflected not only In the
news columns of the day, but in the
advertising as well. In their daily
ads, Washington stores and organiza-
tionS embodied pep talks and sermon
cites calling on the public to support
the brave boys in the trenches.
One department store epitomized
its argument in these self-sacrificing
words: 1T is more important that

has done his utmost in this emer-

has done his utmost in this emer-
gency."
The newspapers Of Sunday, october
20, told Of the home army's complete
victory, Washington being among the
many overquota cities with $33, ,000, 900
worth bought or contracted for.
And thus was born $50 gold bond
that goes to court.
Robert A. Taft, president and coun-
sci Of the Dixie Terminal Co., appears
as the sponsor of the Court of Claims
suit. OF the $50 bond that was q
hero in its day but is now simply a
debt. Mr.. Taft says in effect: This
bond was called to the colors. AS gold
1t waged war It enlisted for certain
period Of service. If the promise to
pay in gold is repudiated, the Govern
ment forfeits the right to muster it
out of service before the enlistment is
completed. The bond will fight for its
rights"
To which the New Deal answers in
effect: There is a new war. A battle
on depression Is being waged. We
have the right to hire cheaper bond
and save money. We cannot pay in
gold because, in our opinion-regard-
less of whether 1t Is generally shared
1t jeopardizes a greater right-recov-
ery."

Holmes Is Missed
In Taxpayers
Line Paying Tax
Late Justice Yearly Stood
Outside Office of
Collector.

Fealty paid his beloved Government
in death, through bequest of his resid-
uary estate to the United States, was
exemplified each year in life at the
tax counter in person by the late JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes.
This came to light today as his fa-
miliar face was missing from its ac-
customed place in the long income tax
lineup at the local Office of the deputy
collector of Internal Revenue.
Year after year. it was learned, the
grand old man of jurisprudence, who
so valiantly upheld the rights of "hu-
manity" from the bench, came, as
matter of principle, to stand in line
with others, waiting his turn at the
common tax counter to file his return
and pay his tax.
Until failing health in later years,
past the age of 80, virtually forced
him out of line, to sit in a chair and
receive special attention, he had in
sisted on standing, with others, some
times for long periods. even in the
cold raw weather of March, to wait
his turn.
why should I receive special con-
sideration?" he was quoted as having
said in response to offers to accommo-
date him with advance service. "Ill
stand in line, and take my place along
with the others, just like any common
citizen, taxpayer of the United States"
