Stannard president of the company, said: '"Taxes charged against earnings and particularly the Federal excess profits tax, shown in the accounts at $6,000 000, are estimated on the information now available; they are therefore subject to change as the regulations and rulings of govern merit agencies clarify the situation Increased rates of taxation had a marked influence on earnings and in this connection 1t Is interesting to note that had the 1899 tax rates been in effect in 1940 the net in- come of the corporation would have been some $8,550,000 greater, the equivalent of about 70 cents a share on the company's stock"

winter. Beginning at that time. also,
will be cutting of jack pine and aspen
to be used in manufacture of boxes
and birch and cedar for railroad ties.
The summer work program to i'm
prove the condition of timber is now
in progress, Hendee said. CCC camps
in the national forest have most of
the enrollees employed on plantation
release work This consists of cutting
brush and low vegetation from around
the small coniferous seedlings that
were planted in the past year or two.
At least one and sometimes two of
these release cuttings are required be-
fore these small trees are definitely
established.
During this fall and winter, some
stands of red and white pine trees will
be given a pruning treatment to help
produce a better quality of sawlogs.
Some coniferous stands will be thinned
to secure a larger annual growth.
Other stands of young coniferous
trees will be given a release treat
ment to remove non-commercial
trees and brush that are slowing the
growth of desirable trees.
According to Hendee, the value Of
this work will not be material for
some years, but it is expected to re-
turn a large part of the cost to the
government through increased value of
timber sold to operators and users.

Canoe parties are leaving the
jumping-of points of the wilderness
area in increasing numbers as the
back-to-nature enthusiasts take to
birch barks and paddles for sojourns
within the Superior National Forest.
Ranging from troops of Boy Scouts
to lone travellers, these parties herald
the approach of the biggest canoe
month of the season, August. Then a
majority of the estimated 1000 people
who annually paddle the historic
border routes taken by the early voy-
ageurs will make their pilgrimage
into the greatest canoe country in the
world.

end of the fiscal year June 80 showed
an increase of $4,000 over a CORES

From July 1, 1910. to June 80, 1941,
these contracts totaled $58,155, and in

many small sales to individuals and
small timber operators, Hencee said.

peeIing, and handling of the larger

Makes Dramatic Attempt
to Rescue Drowning Man

DR.. Snyker "gunned" his ship into a
power dive and came in with the wind
for a perilous landing in the small bay
by the hydro plant of the Minnesota
Power g. Light company.
Snyker jumped on a pontoon of his
plane and padded the ship toward
the drowning man, whose head bobbed
just on the surface. He sank from
sight when the ship was but so feet
away. Pilots must use an ordinary
canoe paddle to maneuver their sea-
planes in restricted areas.
In the meantime Snyker shouted to
boy and girl on shore to bring a
boat. He directed searchers to the
spot where the man went down. The
body was recovered after three hours
of dragging by game wardens, men,
bers of the Ely fire department., and
others who volunteered their help.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Camp Ripley, our million dollar mill
tary camp, should be used to train
soldiers in this state. The camp is
equipped for taking care of thousands
of soldiers, ideal location, healthful
climate. located in the center OF the
United States. Outside Of Fort Smell
ing, primarily used as receiving
station for enlisted men and selec-
tive service men, Minnesota has no
military training station. All men are
hustled out to the heated south and
west and the people of the state are
beginning to wonder if politics is not
playing some part in the placing OF
camps.
