The Hoardman Minor Boardman, Oregon PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MARK A. CLEVELAND, Pabllshei $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE 'fl n En I 11, ffond-riasH matter Fel the post olllce at Boaft der act of Mar. 3, 1879 II VI UOIMI tn HKY If the richest man IB your town came to ydu and said, "Bill, I would like In have S'Otl help me push ii tow which wii exempt income on all city, county, state and government bonds from all forms of taxation no that I can invest m mom in those bonds and thereby tic relieved of all tax burdens", what would you Bay? The audacity of I he proposition would stun you and yet thai is the ltuation that exists loday. In years past, on tb theory that by evcinpt- Ins thla clasi of bonds from taxation, money lor public purposes could be secured more clieaply, Hie income from this class of securities was cv stnptod from taxation by law In llio.se days, liowever, it wa , never dreamed of that ten, twenty or even thirty billions of dollars of tills class of securities would be iss ued. This is the condition, however which confronts the American peo ple loday. Those best able to pa) taxes are absorbing billions of dollar; of tax-exempt sectirilies and the la revenue thereby losl to the govern ment must be made up by induslr. and the nsernge cilizen. l'resident Harding advoca'es ;i rhnnge of this system so that in the Inline, the issuance of lax exempt bonds win be prohibited, Hen i i be first s'cp which could be taken toward the ultimate red ml ion of our lax bill.

Travel to the I'acilie coasl states from the easl I his season is some what later than last, year, the road.-, were late in opening due io ihe heavy fall of snow in the mountains last winter, Even In California travel io the Yosemtte, Lake Tahoe and oiher mountain resorts started lat er than for several seasons.

FREAK STREAM IN WAHHINOTON A small stream called Hear Creek flowing from the glaciers of Mount Adams, is a freak. It plays hide and seek along its course through ihe forest, slipping Into u cave here, i a crevice there, then reappearing he-j low in a fill Hedged rivuel . lis bed is ice loated nearly the entire year., on the surface rocks flout, in the t water, logs sink. The water is bright yellow In one place, red in another, and like blu ing where it flows into the Colum bia river. Hear Creek, dinering from other streams, freezes at the bottom first instead of at Ihe surface. This Is caused by a rocky formation, similar lo a corrugated washboard. retarding the movement of ihe water, lorcing the surface lo move more SWlftly, In Ibis way air bubbles carrying freezing temperatures, are Uhol downward and ice forms. Often in winter ihe stream flows ou the surface while the bottom is solid ice. This freak oroek also contains lens water In one part or il than in ano ther u.s you tollow it down stream, A four fool depth quickly becomes a tiny brooklet by the water disap pearing inio the porus volcanic rock later it reappears and resumes its course. The logs that really sink are a species of blackjack pine with speci fic gravity heavier than water. They are carried into the creMc by land slides. Rock sen floating are a sort of pumice, or lava clinkers, released by melting glaciers. ihe yellow color Is direct from the glaciers; the red is caused by red claj bluffs, and the blue by a deposit of copper quartz through which the stream haR cut its bed. --Standard Oil Bulletin. i NOTICE FOR IM Itl.K VIIO.N .
