Map To Show
CouIee Wonders

The Geographical Marvel of An
iEgton-with it's mysterious wonders,
from a Lovcr's Lane, to a fossil rhino
and the "Devil's Pipe Organ,o is ex-
tolled in brilliantly colored pictorial
map, drawn by Howard Backus, super
intendent of schools of Coulee City.
The map, covering a distance of 81
miles, from the dam site to the end of
the lower coulee and Soap Lake, is
said to be the first of its type ever
made of the coulee. Backus, it is gen
orally agreed, has made a. more com
plete study of Grand coulee, from end
to end, than any other man in the
area. He is at present delivering lee
lures at the vista houses for the bu-
roau of reclamation.
"There are at least several hun.
bred wonders in the Grand coulee, =
Backus said. "Far too many to snow
on the map"
Included on the layout are: Fossil
clam bed, fossil rhino, petrified for
est, devil IS pipe-organ, natural bridge.
great blade, Indian chipping grounds,
the caves, pyramid rock, Indian bur
ials, Rabbit Ears rock, DEVILS Drink,
Devil IS Washbasin, Lovers Lane, In
dian writings, Battleship Rock and
folded strata.
The Grand coulee is called "The
Mystery Canyon Down Whose Abyss
Thundered in Glacial Ages a Torrcn.
the Equal of 500 Mississippis. - The
Grand Coulee dam is featured as
"Man's Challenge to the World IS
Most Powerful River
The map is strikingly colored, the
wheatfields looming up in yellow
green and the scablands of the couiee
in red brown. The legends are printed
on appropriately colored lichens such
as provide color in the coulee itself. A
rattlesnake points the way to north,
south, east and west. A train can be
seen, bones of old cattle, etc.
IT have long felt the need for q
map Of some sort to show the mys-
tcries of the coulee. So 1 just, spent
most of my spare time during the
winter in drawing it up" Backus
said.
The map, soon to be published (the
copyright has just been applied for)
will be "a by 3S inches in size, drawn
on scale of 1 inch equals u miles
Special drawings of Dry Falls, Steam
boat Rock, Grand Coulee dam, and q
cross section of the dam, are featured
on the edges of the cartograph.

Finance Committee Votes
to Eliminate Proviso in
17.to.4 Ballot.
CORPORATE INCOME TAX
OF 1870 SUBSTITUTED
Processing and Wartime Income
Assessments Barred to Speed
Bill Along.
By JOHN C, HENRY.

The Senate Finance Committee
today voted to eliminate completely
the undistributed profits tax on cor
porations and to substitute therefor
a fiat rate of l8 per cent on corporate
income
In an effort to clear the way for
speedy enactment OF the tax modifica-
ton legislation, the committee also
decided against including in the bill
a schedule of processing taxes and a
schedule Of heavy wartime income
taxes.
In according further tax relief to
corporations, the committee also
adopted a credit formula for, corpo-
rations having net income below $25,-
600. The plan would allow deduction
from earned income of 10 per cent
of the difference between such income
and $4,000. The 18 per cent levy
then would be applicable to the
difference.
For instance. corporation having a
net income Of $4,000 would deduct
this sum from s25 900, leaving $4,000.
1t would then take 10. per cent of this
$4,000, amounting to 81 500, and de-
duct it as credit from the actual
earned income of $4,000. This would
leave $500, which would be the
taxable income under the l8 per cent
rate.
S97.OOO,000 Yield Seen.
Substitution of the 10 per cent fiat
corporate tax for the House modifica-
ton of the undistributed profits prin-
ciple will bring s97.00O,0 900 additional
revenue to the Federal Treasury for
the calendar year 1898, it was esti-
mated by Undersecretary of Treasury
Roswell Magill
According to Treasury estimates
submitted to the committee, the
House plan for corporate taxation
would yield 1851 100000 for 1898,
while the l8 per cent fat rate would
bring in s948, ,000,0 900. Continuance of
the present law as enacted in 1886
would bring an estimated revenue
of S873, 900.
The committee vote to strike out the
controversial undistributed profits levy
was II to 4, with Senator BarkIey,
Democrat, of Kentucky; Connally,
Democrat, of Texas: Bulkley, Demo-
crat, of Ohio, and La Toilette, Progress
sive. OF wisconsin voting in opposition.
Senator Harrison and all the re-
mainder Of the committee lined up in
favor of repeal.
In the case of the war profits sched-
ule, proposed by Senator Connally. it
is expected the committee decision
marks its doom this year since the
Texan himself, member of the COM
mittee, disclosed the decision and
added:
We want speed on this bill. That's
Why we are deciding to let my pro-
posal go by"
