Coal Is King in the Northwest, remarked Samuel
HYDE, well known Seattle liquor dealer, and if the
court knows ITSELF and it thinks it does, will be in
business up to my neck before another twelve months

conjunction with large tract of coal he near

has leased eleven hundred acres from the Northern
Pacific and will within the next three four months
begin to lifting coal from his nine Despite the fact
that thousands of barrels of oil being used in this
section yet the demand for coal is just great as it
was before gallon of oil used for fuel Yes it
true that some of the finest specimens of coal that
have ever seen are found in Alaska yet will be long
time before it competes with the Washington state
markets. if ever Alaska herself is growing rapidly
that am inclined to think that all the coal that is
mined up there will be consumed in the territory for
MANY years yet to come and that leaves the coal fields
of Washington without any competition and that means
that the coal business going to be second to other
business in this section for many years. all OF which

The Rainy Season is now with the Northwest, and
here to remain until early late next Spring, which
means that, the health conditions hereabouts have
greately improved since the rain set in. Strange as
may seem the health of the general public is fifty
cent better when it rains almost constantly, than
when there is considerable dry weather The fall just
closed has been rather dry and result, there

VIOLATES PRINCIPLES
OF TAXATION, HE SAYS
Senator Cummns, Of Iowa. Delivers
Speech on the Proposed Cor
poration Tax.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Contend-
Ing that the proposed tax on corpora
tons violates the fundamental princi-
pies OF taxation, Senator Cummins, OF
Iowa, today attacked the amendment
to the tariff bill suggested by Presi-
dent Taft, and reported by the SEN
ate finance committee.
1t Is tax on incomes, he declared,
and the fact that 1t brings within it's
provisions the incomes OF corporations
only. does not and cannot change 'ts
character. Ii does not change the Nh
ture OF tax to bestow upon ii dif-
ferent name, he argued; and II mere
name was important or influential, the
income tax proposed by the Cummins.
Bailey amendment could be called An
excise tax. just as easily and Just az
correctly as can that term be applied
TO the corporation tax.
When" he continued, I'VE pass
from the legal aspects OF the proposed
amendment, TO an examination OF Its
governmental morality. that is, 20 its
Justice and fairness, we pass at once
from the field of doubt and uncertain
ty to the region OF absolute proof and
unerring instinct When so examined.
my proposition Is that this amend
ment now suggested by the commit
tee, not only violates the fundamental
principle OF taxation, but repudiates
the most vital obligation OF our social
compact"

CINCINNATI PEOPLE TO

CINCINNATI o., June 30.-If Gin

but In reality 1t will be 4 o'clock. ac-
cording to the new method of reck-
oning time. They will work the same
number OF hours but there will be
more sunlight from May until Oct. /.
They will have their evening meal at
what Is now o'clock and they will
have about three hours OF daylight
after that, whereas they now have
only about two hours before II gets
dark.
This is all accomplished by an or
dinance passed by the council which
provides that at o'clock in the
morning on May l, 1910, the hands
OF the clock be turned forward an
hour and shall remain until Oct. /,
when they will be turned back again.
Until the whole country may adopt the
new daylight schedule, however, Gin.
cinnatians will have TO figure train
schedules according to the present
way OF computing time.
Cincinnati is the first city in the
United States to adopt the new sched-
ule. II is thought others will follow
until turning the clock forward be-
comes a national custom. The bene-

Complete Triumph
In Aviation Scored
By OrviHe Wright

Washington, fuly 20.-Establishing a
new record for aviation In America Or
vile Wright in the Wright aeroplaue
tacular flight of one hour, 20 minutes
and 40 seconds duration.
The longest previous fight was of "a
minutes, made by Mr.. Wright at Fort
Myer last fall.
During the entire fight the machine
was under perfect control, though sew
eral times 1t appeared to the specta-
tors to be on the point of diving for
ward. Several thousand people were
given an exhibition which included the
most daring feats of aviation yet ac-
complished and at its conclusion a
mighty cheer went up.
The machine travelled about 20 miles,
it was estimated by Wilbur Wright t,
and at one time during the fight the
height attained. between 2eo and 2sO
feet, exceeded the highest point ever
reached by heavier than air machine
on this continent
The most wonderful part of tn g
flight was the execution of three COM
plete figure eights."
After rounding the course half a
hundred times, Wright directed the ma
chimes course around the small double
circles of a figure eight" To the
amazement of the crowd the machine
described a second eight and then a
third one, after which it was guided
back to Its former course of large
ovals. Three cabinet members wit
messed the flight.
The machine was released from the
starting point at 6:20 o'clock and it
shot along the starting monorail and
off 1t into the air. After travelling
several hundred feet at height of only
about five feet, the aeroplane arose
gradually to a height of rs feet before
making the first turn at the end of
the field.
After passing the starting point the

aviator sent the machine up on each
turn to a height of about $50 feet.
which was maintained until toward the
end of the fight.
When making a turn on the sixth
round the aeroplane began fitting per-
ceptibly, but Mr.. Wright succeeded In
bringing Ii on an even keel again.
After he had been in the air half an
hour making a complete round of the
field each time, Mr.. Wright maneu-
vered the machine through several
short circles, some not more than 500
feet in diameter. Having sufficiently
satisfied himself that he could execute
the small circles. he went back to max
Ing large ovals again, and tn ese for
some time were adhered to- After
circuling the field 81 times, the ma
chine started cutting the figure eight"
The aeroplne curved around the lower
end of the field, crossed to the right
at the middle and passed the starting
point to the left, the opposite direction
from that in which it had been travel
ing. 1t curved to the right again at
the middle of the field and completed
a figure eight" at the lower end of
the field much to the delight of the
crowd. This was twice repeated. Then
the aeroplane rose each lap until 1t
had scared to a distance of between
260 and ESQ feet. At this altitude the
machine flew half dozen rounds and
then gradually descended and made an
easy landing after completing SO
rounds of the field.
In today's flight Mr.. Wright's ma
chine met every requirement set for
IL by the government except that of
carrying one passenger and making the
five miles straight away run.
Wilbur Wright, replying to a COM
ment that the fight today would have
covered the width of the English chan
mel, which Hubert Latham unsuccess-
fully attempted to cross yesterday said
1t would have been possible for his
brother to have crossed from France
to England and to have returned to
France again without landing. He also
remarked that 1t would have been easy
to have continued todays flight as
far as Baltimore.
