''Hydraulicking has been car ried on in the Circle camp since the early days" said MT. Ulmer, "but it had its disadvantages in that many seasons are dry. The recent trend towards mechaniza- tion through employment of dred ges, draglines and tractors is bound to mean constantly increa sing gold production.

 First on the program was the major business of the evening the Freshman Initiation. Through a dim corridor lighted only by futtering candles and peopled by the shadowy forms of upper class men, the trembling freshies were led to their doom.
 After f1oggings were administ- cred to chastise them for disob- ediences to their betters, and oth- CT minor hardships were inflict- ed upon them, they were admitt- ed as full f1edged members of the High School. Many hilarious games were played, thought-con trol tricks were performed, and MT. Pool and Rita O'Leary en- tertained us with their so called hypnotic powers. Delicious re- treatments were served and the party was a huge success.

A policeman'S lot is a varied one,
but few members of the Metro
politan Police Department have
been called on to render the diff
ferent services performed by Thorn
as Oriani during the A years
he served.
Joining the department in 1888,
he was cited for the capture of a
milk thief, and almost lost his
life in a gun battle with another
thief, finally killing him in gun
duel.
He had another narrow escape
from death in a battle with robbers
he caught looting the old Bolton
and Logan Dime Museum which
stood on the site of the old Post
Office Building on Pennsylvania
Avenue.
When the tunnels were con-
Structed at Union Station, $500
Italian laborers were brought here
to do the work, and Oriani, since
he spoke Italian, was detached
from duty to serve as interpreter.
For several years he had charge
of transporting prisoners from the
precincts to the District Jail, and
out of some $1,000 he transported,
only one escaped.
When motion pictures were in
their infancy, Oriani was named
as the first official censor for the
District.

The members under fire are

presidents, all Of whom are from

Their recall from office has

Commissioner George E. Aliens
proposal of a local income tax to
raise needed additional revenues
gained support today as the Dis
trict Commissioners continued pub
lie hearings on the 1888 fiscal year
budget.
The support came from H. ].
Clay, vice president and represen-
tative Of the Rhode Island Avenue
Citizens Association. Appearing
before the city heads, Clay advo-
Gated a program of additional
schools, library facilities and street
improvements for his neighbour
hood. He was interrupted by Com
missioner Allen, who inquired
whether his association would sup
port increased taxation to gain the
projects advocated.
Clay replied if the Federal Gov
eminent would assume a fair
share of the expense in running
the municipality, there would be
no need for increased taxes.
Commissioner Melvin C. HAGEN
then asked that if the Federal
Government did not assume the
share of responsibility urged by
Clay, how additional revenues
could be raised.
Cites Tax PrOpOal
Clay answered that the reve-
nue. could be raised through an
income tax on local residents,
such as was suggested a few days
ago by Commissioner Allen, or,
if that failed, through a sales
tax.
At the outset of proceedings to-
day, Commissioner Hazen an.
nounced that the hearings will
be continued through tomorrow.
A conference between District of.
ficials and j. F.. Jacobs, appointed
by President Roosevelt to head a
survey regarding the amount of
the Federal contribution to the
local budget, interrupted the pro-
ceedingS yesterday. Although
neither Mr.. Jacobs nor the Com.
miSSionerS would divulge the ma
ture of the conference, it was
learned that Commissioner Hazen
advocated assessing the nontaX.
able property, amounting to $780,.
100000. owned by the Federal Gov.
eminent in the District as a basis
for the contribution.
This proposed assessment alone
would net the municipality at least
$10,000,000 a year, Commissioner
Hazen said, whereas the contribu-
ton in the current budget
amounts to 100000.
Other Items Urged
Adelbert w. Lee, representing
the Randle Highland Citizens
Association, Endorsed the project
favored by several Southeast civic
and business associations for a
$650,000 item in the coming
budget to replace the Pennsyl.
vania Avenue bridge over the Ana
costa River with new span.
He also asked for street, sewer.
age and traffic improvements for
his neighborhood.
Howard D. Woodson, president
of the Northeast Boundary Citi-
zens Association, urged the city
heads to construct a colored high
school at Twenty-fourth SVrecS
