TAHl1lANS USE KITES !
 IN LIEU OF ARPLANES

PAPEETE, Tahaiti, July 2G.-Ta- haiti natives use big kites for air planes long before flying machines were invented, according to native traditions
 On a cliff at Taiarapu in Tahiti there is projecting rock marked round about with deep worn grooves. This point is on the peninsula sepa- rated from the main island by a wide bay. Here it is said, the old natives were accustomed, when the wind was in the right direction to fly enormous kites-attaching the ropes to the pro jecting rock-kites large enough to support a man, and often on favor able days a man would, by using the kite as an airplane. and then as a parachute, accomplish safely the journey across the bay.

SWEDISH SCIENTISTS
 TO SURVEY KAMCHATKA

YOKOHAMA. July 26.-An exped.- ton fitted out by the Swedish Soc,- ety of Anthropology and Geography of Stockholm, left Yokohama to make a scientific survey of the Pen insula of Kamchatka. The work will last for at least two years.
 The members of the expedition arc scientists from the University of Stockholm and are under the di- rection of Even Bergman. They are prepared for zoological botani- cal, ethnographieal, geological and geographical survey of the whole peninsula. The collections will be donated 10 the Swedish Geographi- cal Society and to the University of Stockholm.
 Kamehatka is known to have q rich and varied flora and fauna but it is comparatively unknown to scientists. The plant life is par ticularly interesting, as it is unusu- ally extensive for the high latitude and many of the forms belong to regions much farther South. Birds and animals are numerous. and as far as known are similar 10 those of Alaska.

COMING ATTRACTIONS
"THE MIRACLE MAN" IS TRULY WONDERFUL PICTURE

Seldom '>s a photoplay so pro foundIy stirred an audience as did the Paramount Aircraft picture, "The Miracle Man." at the Coliseum thea ire last night The applause which followed the final fade-out and the delighted comments of the, spectators were a splendid tribute to the photo play which. without q doubt, de- serves place beside the really great screen masterpieces of all times.
 Gorge Loane Tucker. it's producer and director, has proven his right to be numbered among the elect. He has handled the striking story with the touch of genius. Interpreted by n cast far above the average, it's gripping appeal holds the audience spell-bound. The picture is based on the famous story by Frank l.. Packard. which subsequently, was dramatized by George M Conan with great success. The adroitness with which MT. Tucker has worked out "a tremendous theme. and his handl ing of 7 the exquisitely beautiful scenic effects raises "The Miracle Man" far above ordinary feature pictures. This great picture will be shown at the Coliseum for the last time tonight. -'---.-,''-'- .--

Passing of Lumber Industry
Along the Mississippi Makes (
Many Changes in RiUer Cities

was sawed in Winona and a great in
dustry in this city passed away.
Pioneers familiar with the great
days of the lumber industry there as
sociate the mn of two men, now
dead, with the epoch that is gone;
those of William H. Laird, together
with G. Norton. 1t was in 1855 that
William H. Laird, together with his
brothers. John and Matthew, opened
the first lumber yard in Winona. The
brothers soon withdrew and their
place in the firm was taken by Mat
thew G.. Norton.
In 1857, Laird, Norton & Co. built
it's first sawmill in Winona. The
equipment of this mill was one mulay
saw, for slabbing and cutting logs,
and a circular saw, for cutting the
cants into timber. It's capacity wa
about $4,000 feet a day. Not long
afterward three other mills were built
and continued steadily in operation
until the RATS thinned in 1897.
One by M they closed, until in
1909 not n was left. Like the
Laird. Norton & Co.. as the firm later
became known, the various concerns
became distributors of lumber rather
than manufacturers. and many nov
have chains of retail yards through
out Minnesota and the Dakotas. ,
| Other men, all dead now, who were
identified with the de-
%velopnlent Of the lumber industry
were Addison e.. Youmans, Earl S
Youmans, Charles Horton, Andrew
Hamilton and Abner f. Hodgins
Frederick Weyerhauser vas at vari-
Gus times associated with several OF
! the above named men, but more es-
I pecially with Matthew C. Norton and
W. H. Laird in numerous enterprises
in Winona.
June -, 1914, marked an epoch in
the valley of the st. Croix and In
Saltwater, its chief city, for on tina
date the last log passed through tho
st. Croix boom. and the logging AND
numbering industry in this vicinity
became history. N
From a time since back in the early
forties the st. Croix river nae yielded
each year it's full quota of logs an6
lumber needed by this section of the
country. In these days few logs were
manufactured into lumber in Still
water, but they were made up into
RATS with low sweeps at bow ant
stern and were foated down the st
Croix and the Mississippi to their des
tination as far south as st. Louis.
Built More Mills.
Later sawmills began to be bull
along the reaches of the st. Croi1
lake and river until there was a dozel
or more Of them operating, sawin,

Attempt to Get Uniform
Laws il All States is
Suggested.

New York, Dec. 10.-Co-operation
OF lie insurance companies with the
various state legislatures n insur-
ance departments as a means for ar
irving ut some uniform basis OF tax
alton was suggested to the Associa-
tionsofs IAfe Insurance Presidents here
today by Thomas w. Blackburn of
Omaha, Neb., secretary and counsel
of the American Life convention.
w have said Mr.. Blackburn, 'as
as 81 varieties Of tax methods
j n the 48 states, two territories and
District Of Columbia, and It is obvious
that there is nothing scientific about
any single n of the varieties unless
it be scientific to get wherever the
getting Is good'!.G
II his method OF cooperation were
purused, Mr.. Blackburn pointed out,
able laws. now in force affecting
policyholders' interests be, eliminated,
but a plan Of taxing the companies
could be formulated which should
prove satisfactory both to the states
and the insurance organizations.
Mr.. Blackburn described some of
the taxes as arbitrary. some as in
equitable nj others as unconscion-
able. and declared:
Our business is taxed in more
ways and for more purposes and with
mere unique ingenuity tina any
other. form Of commercial endeavor In
America. Life insurance companies
are forced to pay in the states, taken
by and large, as the college profess
sor might say, income taxes based
upon arbitrary methods of calculating
income originally devised either by his
satanic majesty or the treasury de-
partfnent at Washington; premium
taxes likewise arbitrary and most In
equitable, but easily computed; cor
porate taxes varying in form from
direct leytes or capital to fiat license
fees and special percentages based
upon the we'll known railroad rate
principle Of collecting what the traf-
fc will bear; franchise taxes levied
upon the intangible right OF associa-
ton for a specific purpose; and asset
taxes, ignoring the trustee principle
pen which the assets are assembled
and held"
To this list Mr.. Blackburn added
numerous other methods OF collecting
fees by insurance commissioner or
state or city agents.
Instead of fighting taxes, let US
join hands with the legislatures and
the departments and see If we cannot
arrive at a basis which will relieve
the companies OF the present inequali-
ties and at the same time produce
reasonable revenues to the several
states" =.
Ma. Blackburn added: "As an al
Tentative let us consent to a gross
premium percentage tar in lieu OF all
other taxes except personally and
real estate"

generally came in" along in June,
n when they came to town there
was always something doing, at least
until their funds ran out, when they
became ''broke" it was away to the
woods again.
Those days have passed forever on
the st. Croix. The river and lake
have been cleared of the last vestige
of the logging industry, the numer-
Gus punches of piles that formerly
were the anchoring places for long
strings Of logs, nave been pulled out.

M the lake inc river have taken on
the appearance of a summer resort
with its fleets Of canoes, launches and
row boats, filled with happy throngs
that seek rest from care along the
banks Of the beautiful river.
There is scarcely a community in
the west where the numbering business
flourished but has been enriched by
those who originally followed the same
line in Saltwater. Many of these
men have become prominent and sue
cessful business men Of the COM
munities in which they live and all
have made good.
1t was said by a citizen Of a western
state, himself a lumbeEman and a
large employer of labor, that the
lumberjacks from the st. Croix were
the best in the world.
