The neighbors heard cries but at first thought it was only the school children and did not pay much at- tention to them. However, upon go- ing down to see they found the horse and sleigh in the opening about a quarter of a mile from the home of the deceased. The horse and sleigih and the late ‘Mr. Daw- sun's cap were floating in the wat- er. The party grappled and fouind the body immediately. When found the doceasedhi arms were rigid as if he had had his two elbows over tlle edge of the ice trying to hold nn till help came. He had on a Mackinaw and a fur coat and other heavy clothing which made it 1m- pnsslhlc for ‘lllm to extricate him- self.

Expect Some Tax Reductions

(Special to thg Guardian) UPTAWA, Dec. 21.—-Scme re- duction in the tax burden upon the Canadian people is to be expected during the coming session of par- iialment. This is to be made poss- ibie by the dnastic pruning of es- timates now in progress and the satisfactory showing which will be made at the close of the present fiscal year.

The reduction‘ in expenditures planned for the following year will be given back to the tax payers in the form of a lighter tax levy. Four different courses are open to the government, One is the abolition of the 58.165 tax which since its incep- tion has been a source of annoyan- ce to the collector as well as the tax payers; another is the restora- tion of penny postage the benefit from which would be shared by every citizen of the dominion, then there is the income tax on which some reduction would ‘be welcom-
