FOUND--PLACEF FOR
 SURPLUS yTNEYS
islanders of Tahiti Mix Raw Sugar Rum With All Kinds
 of Machine Rides
By Associated Press

Papeete, Tahiti, June 1S.--7Tn olden days when a Tahiti native wished to refresh his soul, he decked himself with the islands fragrant flowers, obtained 2 goodly supply of raw su- gar rum and retired on foot to some shady valley to enjoy himself Now he travels in an automobile to his retreat, for the island is full of light machines.
 Wounded bark of acacia trees along the avenue from Pautua to Papeete, showing where sundry machines driven by natives, have caroomed from tree to tree, bear grim witness to the wild rides taken by some of the Tahitians. Lately the government has stepped in and made the roads comparatively safe for pedestrians.
 All sorts of machines are found here. bright cars, shining with glis- tening enamel; cars of ancient vint- age, with brass radiators green with verdigris, steering gear tied with wire and ears of every degrees and condition of repair
 Whens this invention of the f'po- paa," as the white man is called, came to the island some years ago. the natives fell upon 1t with glad cries. Every Tahitian who could get credit, mortgaged his land or his rel atives land, or to beg, borrow or steal and hastened to get a car. and for months the island was ringed with thick cloud of yellow dust. Below the cloud were dim shapes of .Jitneys'' filled to overflowing with yelling kanakas. rushing through the fcg, and the shadowy outlines of wild-eyed pedestrians jumping nim- ply for the shelter of the largest tree trunks on the side of the highway.

DY this time you are good judge ID of motion pictures.
 You know what you like. In the last few years you have seen enough motion pictures to give you shrewd idea what is quality and what isn't.
 All right: it's you and your like that are making finer photoplays possible and justifying Paramount's immense investment in time, talent and money, to produce steadily the great Para mount Pictures that are delighting the whole civilized world.
 Too many ordinary pictures!
 You have seen many an ordinary motion picture that you did not like very much-admit it. And it's your own fault! It's because you had not approached the matter of buying en- tertainment as sensibly as you had any other article of merchandise. You were careless, that's all.
 Hit or miss won't do-it must be Paramount standard, and there is always way to know before you go.
 The more intelligent appraisal that there is of motion pictures, the better for all of us who are out for finer films.
 But does your theatre realize its respon- sbility to you: it's duty to let you enroll as full dime Paramount patron2

REN|N|SCENCE OF
 C0LDF|ELD BOOM

Al D. Myers, the man who initiated the Goldfield boom of 1906, is visiting Tonopah from his present operating center in Ely and expressed himself surprised to see the number of old timers who still cling to the desert. He also visited Goldfield for the first time in nine years. Al was associat- ed with Thomas D. Murphy in locat
 ing some of the principal properties and in addition plating the townsite which netted the partners handsome returns. The value of lots in the bus mess district touched a peak mark of $20,000 for a 30-foot frontage on Main street in the fall of 1906. Al Myers was one of the largest owners of Mo hawk and Combination stock. He held his stock for nominal price, being contented to sit tight as Mohawk, boosted by the enormous earnings of the Hayes Morette lease, went beyond the dollar mark. Myers stood pat un- til the arrival of Carstairs, the whiskey man, who later became one of the largest owners of Goldfield Con- solidated stock and member of the directory. Carstairs was an intimate friend of Geo. Wingfield and Senator George s. Nixon and was pretty wise to the situation. Meeting Myers one day at the corner of Hall and Main street in front of the main office of
