SNOW CAUSES AIR
SURVEY POSTPONMENT

Snow forced cessation of the gov
eminent air survey of the Rainy
Lake watershed along the Canadian
Doraer, 1t was announced in Duluth
by Lieut.. E. e. baJuen, pilot of the
army pane sent here more than a
month ago from McCook neld, Day
ton, Ohio.
About 720 photographs were TAX
en- of lakes and rivers in the 1000
square miles of territory included
IN the survey ana Lieut. Batten
started for Dayton TUESDAY accom-
panied by James KING, civilian
mechanican, who came here with him
,gom Dayton.
"a snow fall of two to threel
inches along the boundary lakes"
said Lieut.. Batten to the Assocrat-
ed Press, forced cessation of the
air survey for the winter by oblt-
Grating shore lines of lakes. The
primary object of the flights was to
photograph shore lines to ala ground
surveyors in their work next sum-
mer. The amount yet to be covered
is so small it will probably be hand
led from the ground without going
to the expense of sending plane
up here again. However, that re-
mains to be decided"
The photographs were taken by
Lieut.. E. G. Flank. of the U. s. En-
ginsars' office, official observer and
photographer for the survey, who is
now having them developed and
prepared for the report to Major
r. w. Crawford, commanding the
army engineers office here.

Figures recently compiled by Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
show $7,907, 100000 as total taxes
collected by federal, state, and
loca. governments during 1924.
Federal taxes experienced a decline
of S125, 100000 in 1924, while state
taxes increased $119, 100000 and
local taxes $4,000, 900, thus wip-
ing out all government saw ngs ana
adding greatly to the total tax load.
Since 1119 the tendency in federal
taxation has been downward, while
state and local taxes have shown a
steady increase. State and local
taxes combined in 1924 were more
than three times as large as in
1913.

Kelvin Field i'm Lead for
Rocky Mountain District

Pipe line runs for the Kevin oil
field during the week ended May
% average $500 barrels daily, it
was shown in authentic st9tistics
which became available he. We'd
nesday. This places the field far
in the lead in the Rocky mountain
district, excepting only the Salt
Creek area.
Figures received here show
that Cat Creek runs for the same
week were $500 barrels daily,
Salt Greek runs were 54,460,
Grass Creek, 4,615; Rock River,
$3.50. and Lost Soldier, 5, 100. The
total for Kevin during this week
was approximately $500 barrels
a day greater than shown in the
state utility commissions report
for the month of April. The diff
ference is accounted for by the
completion Of several large wells
and the fact that a considerable
amount Of oil is produced that is
not carried in the main pipe line
serving the field.
Due torecent large competitions,
notably the Queen City No. 10,
Whitman No. 4 and johnson No.
5, several former Kevin operators
have returned to this field from
Colorado, where much proopect-
ing has been under way during
the last two years. Colorado's to-
tai average daily runs for the
week ended May % were 2,195
barrels.

Decision to postpone the auto

ness men through the Kevin oil
field because of road conditions
has been reached by the oil com
mittee of the Commercial club.

roads to so improve that the visit
to the field could be made assur-
ance that all of the ground could
be covered.
1t was announced. however,
that the delay is to be regarded
only as a postponement and that
the excursion will be organized
pursuant to the original plans, as
soon as road conditions permit.
The present intention is to hold
