going next week the demonstration
will probably be even better. Those
who will leave next Wednesday

Pottarx of tho Amazon.

An interesting tribe Of the upper
Amazon has been discovered which In
its division of work is remindful Of the
guilds of the middle ages. One portion
makes clothing and nothing else; an
other one is purely agricultural; an
other devotes its time and labor to the
construction Of weapons, and 80 OF.
Their pottery, however. Is the most
notable Of their productions. Some OF
these Jars are extremely large, but
very thin, although strong and durable.
Some of the smaller vessels are almost
as thin as paper.

What Recruits May Expect in Camp.

An official staten. mt showing
what the nat onal army recruits
may expect when they arrive in
their training camps has been given
out at Washington. The first thing
the recruits will do is to take a
thorough | a;h. From that time
on, officials stated, scrupnlous clean
illness will be expected of all re-
cruits when possible.
Arrangements have been made
temporarily to assign all recruits to
section of the camp where they
will be in touch with men called
from their own neighborhoods.
This arrangement will lie broken
up later when the men are fitted to
the various branches of service ac-
cording to their physical qualifica-
tions. These assignments will be
made according to lists showing
their previous occupations, and
they will go to infantry, cavalry,
artillery, machine gun and other
units, according to their fitness.
Men from the same localities will
remain in the same regiments as
far as such disposition of them is
possible.
The first two weeks the recruit
will spend largely under the doc
tors care or at least under his
watchful eye, according to the
statement, which says:
He will be given a physical ex.
animation and vaccinated for ty-
phoid, paratyphoid and smallpox.
Recommendations will then be
made to the company commander
for special forms of exercise to rem
edy any slight physical defects.
The first two weeks of training will
be occupied almost entirely with
these special exercises, light exer-
cises in setting-u up drills and school
ing of the soldier.
During the second ten weeks
regular training will begin, but the
work will be increased gradually
and the division surgeon and his
assistants will keep a watchful eye
on the general physical condition
of the men. Thorough instruction
in personal hygiene, sanitation and
first aid will be given during their
first two weeks"

A Liquor Salesman's Pipe Dream.

Held Up on the Hurley-Iron-
wood Bridge" is the caption of a
story in Wednesdays Ashland
Press giving an account of how
one c. G.. Williams, representing
the Erickson liquor house of Ash
land, was forced to turn over 5000
at the point of a gun to bandits,
according to Williams story to the
Ashland police.
The police officials of Hurley
know nothing of a hold-up being
pulled off here and it is quite evil
dent that Williams tried to slip
something over" Williams may
have been in Hurley and probably
in demonstrating the kick" OF
the stuff he was selling got too
much of his own medicine, and
when he came to" discovered that
instead of his pockets being filled
with kale collected for his concern
found nothing but emptiness and
thereupon hit upon the scheme oi
squaring himself by relating the
following story to the Ashland po.
lice:
Held up on the Ironwood- Hur.
ley bridge in the pitch dark, G. G
Williams of this city was forced al
the point of a gun to turn over q
roll of 5000 to bandits. according
to the story he reported to the
police yesterday.
Williams, who is connected with
the Erickson wholesale liquor house
in the west end of the city, was do
ing some collecting in the ore
towns, and consequently had 9
large amount of money. AS he wa:
crossing the bridge, two bandit:
stepped from the darkness ano
forced him back against the railing
demanding his money. At frs
Williams attempted to evade them
but one of the men, a tall. darl
fellow, whipped out a gun ane
threatened to shoot.

KILLED in AUTO ACCIDENT.
Young Man from Wakefield Fatally In
jured When Auto Strikes Bridge
at Ramsey.

A Joy ride" in a borrowed au-
tomobile last Saturday evening re-
suited in the death of one young
man, Walter Ashlund, of Wake
field, and the injury of the other
occupants of the car. Ashlund S
skull was crushed and he died Sun
day evening.
A party of FIVE young men. bor-
rowed Maxwell car and started
out from Wakefield for time last
Saturday evening. They had been
to Bessemer and were returning to
Wakefield when the accident hap
pened. They were driving on the
county road and that their rate of
speed was altogether too fast for
safety is quite evident, for when
they reached the bridge over the
Black River at Ramsey the driver
lost control or the wet and muddy
condition of the road caused the
car to skid. There is quite grade
running down to the bridge and
the road turns at the bridge, max
ing reckless driving of automobiles
all the more hazardous. The speed
of the car was accentuated in 60
ing down grade and the car struck
the iron railing of the bridge with
terrific force, first blowing through
several feet of the wooden railing
guarding the approach to tn c
bridge. The fact that the car
struck the iron railing is what pre-
vented it from going over to the
river bottom below with a further
loss of life quite probable. The
car was demolished and the occu-
pants thrown out. The driver and
the young man sitting with him
were thrown through the wind
shield, but outside of few scrat-
ches escaped serious injury. The
three men in the rear seat were
thrown out, Ashlund going over
the bridge and down to the river
bank, a drop of about 20 feet, land
ing on a pile of rocks. His skull
was crushed and he was otherwise
injured and Sunday evening he
passed away. The other two men
in the rear seat escaped serious in-
jury.
The deceased was about 21 years
of age and lived with his folks at
Wakefield. He was member OF
the Ironwood Moose lodge. The
funeral was held Wednesday after
noon with services from the home.

Williams turned over his roll of
money, keeping however. a large
amount which he had in a vest
pocket. Immediately upon the dis
appearance of the men, Williams
notified the Hurley police, and the
trains leaving that city were close
lv watched, but no trace of the
thieves was discovered.
They were not seen in this city
either. Williams described them
here as a tall, dark man, fairly
light, and a short heavyset fellow.

Taxes Of Light and Power Companies.

The city of Ashland will receive
So ,O68 22 from Ashland Light Pow
er & Street railway company in
taxes this year, according to the
announcement of the state tax COM
mission Thursday.
Under the law the state retains
IS per cent of the tax. the county
now gets 20 per cent and the town
65 per cent. The total taxes as
sessed against the Ashland Light
Power & Street railway company
this year is 81, 7,96OSO. Of this
amount the state gets 81, ,194.12;
Ashland county, 81 ,457.62; Ash
land city, $4, ,O68. .22; Sanborn town,
$2O.18; White River town, $685.
SS; Bayfield, county ,$134. 81; Barks-
dale town, $33O.65; Eileen town,
$4.14; Washburn city, $84.86; and
Washburn town, $l7.59.
The IronwOod Bessemer Rail-
way & Light company must pay a
total tax of 81 ,614.6S of which the
state will receive 81, 1920; Ash
land county, $522 .O6; Ashland city,
$S1.17; Sanborn town, $75.23;
White River town, $120.77; Mar
engo town, So .49; Ashland town,
$122.75; Morse town, 81, ,243.32,
Mellen city, $47.O2; Iron county.
81 ,OOO.88; Anderson town, S171.-
76; Carey town, $5O3.37; Kimball
town, $53.47; Knight town, $1O1.-
90; Hamilton village, p421.7O;
Montreal town, $780,; Saxon
town, $422 80; Vaughn town, S1,-
429.93.
Street railway companies operat-
ing in the state will pay over $780,
600 increase in taxes this year, ac-
cording to the tax levy distribution
tables announced by the state. tax
commission today. Those figures
have been filed with the secretary
of state for tax collection. The to-
tai amount of taxes paid by these
companies last year was $825.764
so as compared with $947 ,764.7O.
A new law was passed by the last
legislature changing the distribu-
ton of the tax. Heretofore Is per
cent was retained by the state and
65 per cent went to the towns thru
which the lines operated. This year
the portion which heretofore went
to the towns is divided so that the
counties receive 20 per cent OF the
total tax, the towns IS per cent
and the proportion to the state re-
mains at Is per cent.
IF the total taxes assessed against
these companies this year the state
retains $142, 1o4.71; the counties
will receive $3.50, 552.94 and the
towns will receive $616, ,047.05.
One of the principal reasons for
the large increase in the street rail-
way taxes, aside from a slightly
higher tax rate, is the increased
valuation of the Wisconsin Mime
sofa Light & Power company pro-
perties with the large dam at Wlso-
ia. Last year this company paid q
tax of $o3,SS7.15. This year the
tax is $11O.75s.99.
The Milwaukee Electric Railway
& Light company will pay a tota
of $425,72o. .8S of which milwaukee,
county will receive $751; and the
city of Milwaukee S271,1O6.9l
Under the old method of apportion
ment last year the city of Milwau
kee received $329, 9,432.O6. Giving
20 per cent to the county has re
duced the amount to the city.
The. Milwaukee Light Heat &
Traction company will pay tota
tax this year of $121, ,142.65 o
which Milwaukee city receives S1 :,
559.11.
