Burlington, Wisconsin is a city per­
haps one third larger than Dalias al­
though owing to greater possibilities
of agricultural activity in its sur­
rounding territory it has a consider­
ably larger proportion o f business de­
$ velopment. In its last issue the Bur­
9 lington Standard Democrat printed a
1 list o f citizens which we thing forms
« quite an extraordinary document. It
is a list of approximately seven hund­
« red names o f individuals and corpora­
tions who during the next few
I weeks will be called on to pay over
fortysix thousand dollars in income
» •ax.
The sums each will pay range
« all the way from six cents to fiPecn
thousand dollars.
Speaking of the
levy the Standard Democrat says:
This is by far the largest amount
ever raised here and will give the
city a snug sum o f money that hadn’t
been expected.
Last year the total income tax was
$16,549.27, showing the amount this
year to be nearly three times as
large.
The former high water mark
was in 1919 when the total tax was
in the neighborhood o f $29,000.
Of the total tax this year 837,-
792.95 is on normal incomes, $21,-
189.24 being assessed against indi­
viduals and $16,603.61 against cor­
porations.
O f the balance $4,787.87
is a surtax for the soldiers’ educa­
tional fund and $4,449.85 a surtax
for the teachers’ retirement fund.
Seventy per cent o f the normal tax
against individuals and corrorations
is retained in Burlington. From this,
of course, is the offset o f the per­
sonal property tax, but it is estimated
the city will receive close to $20,000
from the income tax.
In making up
the budget this fall the city council
only estimated the receipts from the
income tax to be $2,000, s i the city
will have a handsome surplus.
The statement as returned to City
Clerk Al. Zechel shows that the Wis­
consin Condensed Milk Co. and C.
Roy McCatina will pay over half of
the total amount.

It is fine to get your bouquets

The following is a much ap­
preciated compliment from the West-
eiT. World, published at
Bandon,
0 regon.
The Monmouth Herald, a lively
* weekly published by Richard B
Swenson, who at one time was in
the newspaper business here, ap­
peared in bright holiday dress with
evidence o f special effort that very
creditably represented that commun­
ity.
Mr. Swenson has very ma­
terially developed the Herald since
he took possession a number o f years
ago and Monmouth should appreciate
him.— Western World.
In an interes'ing article relative
to their local lumber industry the
Western World o f Bandon says;—
There has been an immense amount
o f timber sold to the Japanese govern­
ment in the form of logs. Jap ties
and squares have furnished a market
for wood that in the past has been of
little oi no value. This is especially
true of the ties. This piece o f mark­
etable timber can have as many knots
as nature generally puts into a tree
and still have a cash value. Sawed
from dead and hitherto worthless

used to be burned with no regrets.

make a good club, can now be ex­
changed for negotiable securities.
The wood that formerly went on
the slab pile supplies a lot o f salvage
that helps to make the sawmill men
worry about their income tax.

The day o f the little mill, if it has
not alrtady arrived in this country,
is a great deal nearer at hand than
it was a few years ago. They still
furnish a perfectly good method of
going broke hut small mills aje tak­
ing that road in decreasing numbers.
This year has witnessed a successful
season’s run by a large number of
milis that can not be called big ones.
Conditions seem to favor the estab­
.

lishment that more nearly approxi­
mates the eastern standard.
For many years mills in the middle
west have
been sawing anything
that would make a two-by-four. It
was aigued that they could do that
because they were working in hard
wood that carried a much higher1
value than the timber on the Pacific
coast.
Conditions have changed.
The lumber turned out in this section
carries a value that renders its use as
firewood poor economy.
Whole
sections of land in Coos county have
been cleared o f timber that was burn­
ed to get it out of the way.
This
was not poor stuff either, but first- j'aSHSZSZSHSES?SHS25a3HS2FH5HJE3HSH5Z5HSZSHrH5Zb'2SESESZS2SZSESHSZSZS2SE^
class fir and spruce that has a high

market value today.
Myrtle timber,
one o f the choicest hard-woods that
grows, has been cleared from thous­
ands o f acres of land, and burned in
order that the land might become
available for the growing of crops.
But those days are in the past.
The man who owns big myrtle tim­
ber now has no visions of the money
that he will make when he gets the
land cleared.
He is rich in his own
right.
Some of the most beautiful
furniture that the hand o f man has
turned out, is now being made from
myrtle lumber.
Some years ago a man bought a
half million feet of cedar timber for
the sum of $500.
He worked it up
to the best advantage, and made a
net loss on the deal of more than the
amount he had paid for the timber.

hundred thousand feet of cedar and
fir.
The mill lost money on the deal.
This year a man who had a few trees
on his place— good sized cedars— sold

them for something over a hundred
and fifty dollars apiece.
