Americans Establish Division

Des Moines, June 9.-The Ameri-

division headquarters in Des Moines.
T. j. Workman, general agent of the
company at Omaha, has been appoin-
ted superintendent of the Iowa divis-

on the seventh floor OF the Hippee

FROM FOREIGN FIELDS,

Recently the hundredth anniyers-
airy OF the death of Antoine Augustin
Parmentler, who introduced potatoes
into France, was celebrated by the
farmers OF mis- native land. He was
the apotheCary of the lnYalides, when
following the famine of 1863, the
Academic de BesanancOn announced
prize Tor discovering vegetable
which could be used in time OF fam
inc Parmentier won the prize with
the indication of the nutratlye starch
OF certain plants The potato was
then unknown in France 1t had been
brought from Peru, but was the OBJ
ject OF warnings by doctors, who at
tributed TO its use various febers and
even leprous atfectations. Parment
Ter persuaded the government in
l778 to give him farm for his ex.
periments. From the first towering
OF the plants he sent boQuet TO
Louis XVI, which gave the vegetable
its first popularity.
The discovery of a carpenter whose
father, grandfather and great-grand-
father practiced the same craft has
been commented upon in several
newspapers, and at Lamberhurst, in
Kent, there is a family who have
been innkeepers for four centuries.

There is the fellow who thinks he is
being robbed. He roars like a trop-
ped lion because he has to pay SO or
$3.50 a day at some hotel in the
southwest, where tWo-thirds of the
stuff he eats is hauled at least 1900
miles, and where he expects a ser

you are. AS rule the other Sc var

wasted The fellow in the next easy

dor with its countless ages of man,
suggests to the fellow in the OPP

there was a sudden rush of all the
help in the hotel toward the windows.

Seas know something about the
poetry of motion.
The New Zealand Government |
granted its approval to the scheme,
extending permission to have one of |
the celebrated Maori carved houses |
sent along to enhance the setting of |
the dances.
Polygamy, cannibalism, and the
habit of rebelling against the Eng
lish colonists in their land-an this
has long been foresworn by the proud
and intelligent Maori, the highest
type of Pacific island native.
Unlike their island neighbors. the
Maoris never evolved monarchial
form of government. They were
bred-in-bone democrats. Each tribe,
under its chief, was autonomous. |
Tribal lands were held in common,
each member being entitled to a
share of the products. Thus these So
called savages had evolved, many |
centuries ago, practical socialism
that is still cherished theory in the |
minds of occidental radicals.
Cannibalism, today an extremely |
"sore point with the Christianized
Maoris, was given up about half a
century ago. Polygamy languished |
at about the same time, although |
remnants of it still exist in the back |
country.
AS wonderfully gifted in musical
and oratorical accomplishments as
they were brave and stern, in war
fare, the Maoris have come to be held
in high respect by the British colon
lists, and several of the natives have

extracted from the Wine will aver
age better than 500 a ton.
Connection was made yesterday
between the winze and the raise

level. The winZe was sunk a total
depth of ninety-one feet in the foot
wall section of the vein, while the
raise vas put up from the 200-foot
level a height of about thirty feet in
the hanging wall section. AS the ore
body rakes to the south, the 200

INDIANA COAL RECORD
BROKEN IN PAST YEAR

Some knowledge of the coal re-
sources of Indiana was obtained as
early as 1904, when the public
land surveys showed a number Of
outcrops. The report OF the geolo-
gical survey of Indiana published in
1872 states that in 1911 coal was
dug at Fulton, in Perry county, and
taken by Robert Fulton aboard the
steamer Orleans on it's first trip
down Orio river. There is good rea-
son to believe that coal continued to
be mined for local consumption be-
tween 1911 and 1897, when the first
attempt at commercial mining was
made, but there is no record of the
quantity mined during that interval.
The first commercial coal mining in
Indiana, according to f. w. Parker
of the United States geological sur
vey. was done by the American Can
mel Coal company at CanneltOp,
Perry county, in 1887. The coal vas
mined on the bluffs along Ohio and
Wabash rivers and for the first ten
years of the company's operations
was loaded directly into boats for
shipment to points down the Ohio.
In 1910 the United States n
reported that the production of coal
in Indiana in that year was 9,6S2
tons. The industry developed slowly
until 1865, when it was ascertained
that the block coal mined in the
Brazil and Terre Haute districts made
a satisfactory blast-furnace fuel in
it's raw condition. At about that time
the construction of railroads through
out the state gave an impetus to the
coal-mining industry, which has
shown steady progress except when
affected by periods of depression and
labor ~disaffections.
The record for production was
made in 1910, when it was 1S,3S9.-
SIS tons; the production for 1913
was ~17.165.671 tons.
