brothers didn't want to risk having
any one steal their ideas.
They started off to France, which
has been and is the foremost in avn

for their enterprise. They apparent

that aroused the antagonism Of the
Freuchmen who came in contact. Not

did not believe the Wrights and
thought 1t all bunco scheme to get
money for nothing. The Wrights kept
close mouthed and let the discussion
run on. They started experiments
down in a spot in North Carolina,
near a town called Kittyhawk. From
this place day after day came reports
of flights, accidents, successes.

Air resistance is a harder thing to
tackle than water resistance. There
are more quirks and twists to the
stream OF air than there are in the
Mississippi water. All these things
made dirigible balloon flying hard
and it had killed absolutely aeroplane
endeavor up to the time the Wright
brothers began. The earlier aeroplan-
lists had not been able to work out
scheme whereby the air resistance
could be accommodated so that it
would help the flying machine instead
of dashing it to the ground.
The Wrights. too, believed that a
man could make a much better wing
than Nature had done. The resistance
of feathers would not be present in a
wing made of silk. Furthermore, be-
cause bird sometimes has to alight,
Nature has fixed the wings so that
they may be folded With an aero
plane that has nothing to do but fly
there need be no device for collaps-
ing the wings. They may stay extend
ed all the time.
The earlier attempts at ae.pplanes,
Lillienthal's. Pitchers. Langley's and
Chanute's. all lent something to the

ideas of the Wrights. They studied
aeroplanes for years before they
evolved the idea. 1t was in 1903 that
after framing the machine of parallel
box kites they got the idea of putting
in a gasoline engine to run the ma
chine and to force those changes OF
plane that would be inevitable in I'M
favorable windage.
They had a machine then that was
merely a glider. 1t was picked up at
either extremity by two men who ran
with it for distance until finally 1t
caught the air and started off on its
gliding. 1t was about this time that
reports came east that there were
two men in Ohio who had flying
machine that would fly. The Wright
aeroplane had glided for a distance
over ground. how great no one knew
but the brothers and certain chosen
friends.
That started the controversy over
them. controversy that never was
even partly settled until when
the recent public flights began in
France. The brothers made it point
that no unfriendly persons should see
the aeroplanes. and many successful

Accepting the information
contained in this table as a basis
for comparing the results of the
new methods with the results
of the old system of cutting
the destructive boxes in the
trees, some allowance should
be made for the difference in
quality of timber as well as the
age of the industry in the states

mSlnOdS. Inc Work In conserving
these vast turpentine orchards of the
south has perhaps come in time to
stay the early destruction of yellow
pine forests threatened by years of
careless management.
Experiments conducted by the Uni
ted States forest service at Ocilla,
Ga, and Green Cove Springs, Fla.
as we'll as definite and reliable data
received from operators throughout
the naval stores belt, have effectively
determined the great advantages of
the new methods over the old. Not
only has it been shown forcibly that
the conservative methods are of great
protection to the forests, but suffi-
cient data has been collected to show
that the increase in yield of both
turpentine and rosin by the new and
improved systems furnishes a strong
argument in favor of their use.
Reports from the states where ma.

where there is greater percentage

TRIAL POINTS MET HERE.

Representatives of the milling in
terests of the up-river, Great North

city met yesterday afternoon in the
Great Northern hotel for the pur-
pose of discussing matters of mu-
tual interests. This was the first
meeting of this character and it is

present Messrs. Brown of Chelan,
Klass of Bridgeport, Thompson OF
Waterville, Harrington and Odessa
representatives and also delegates
from the Washington Central Sec
ton.
In view of the recent advance in
milling wheat the great question
with the millers has been as to the
wheat and the process that would
give the best flour for the least
money. These were questions that
were discussed yesterday. The diff
ferent millers gave their various ex-
periences and the general opinion
seemed to be that the Bluestem
wheat of the Big Bend gave the best
results.
Many matters of general interest
were discussed and this was followed
by an informal dinner at the Great

NEW JERSEY
PRIEST KILLED

Newark, N. j., March 10.-Rev.
Father Erasin, rector of the Polish
church of st. Stanislaus, was shot
and almost instantly killed by three
masked men in the rectory early to-
day. Miss Antonio Zwertzika, house
keeper for the rector, who attempted
to prevent the assassination, was
slightly wounded. AS there has been
a dispute among the church leaders
regarding its affairs the shooting was
at first believed to have been the out
come of that disagreement. Three
men called at the recory and were
admitted to the parlor while the rec
tor was celebrating mass in the
church. AS the rector entered the
parlor they opened fire. Three bull
lets entered the mans stomach and
the men escaped. The rector died in
an ambulance. Four suspects We're
arrested but the housekeeper was I'M

Daily conferences are held between
Taft, Secretary Of the Treasury Mac

He also realizes that the 'insug-

improvement Of Chelan avenue, have
large crew of men, teams and
scrapers at work on the $4,000 con-

avenue. An attempt was made last
fall to start this work, but there was
too much rost in the ground to make
the progress satisfactory so opera
tions were postponed until spring.
Work was resumed the first of the
week.
The contract calls for the leveling,
crawling, parking and sidewalking
of this entire avenue. The contract
provides for the laying of plank
walks but Messrs. Upper, Rose, God
frey and Bousquet were appointed by
the city council to take the matter
up with the property owners Of the
avenue as to the desirability of put
ting in cement sidewalks. A large

never feel satisfied until the whole

change made from the plank walk
as the contract calls for to the more
