Some say the $500 acres of land
this city on the south and
running from the J. r. track to the
river will be big farm and a pro-
ducer of crops that will put dollars
into the pockets of the owner or own
ers. There are over 100 acres of rich
muck land, much that is high pine,
and some swamp that can be drain
ed.
This property is now all in the
hands of Mr.. A. d. Curry of this city.
He has bought it piece by piece un-
til he now has total of $500 acres
and nearly six miles of river front.
The property was for a long time ig-
nored by people who are usually
alert to bargains. Then Mr.. Curry
came along and secured it. It's
different now. Mr., Curry has cleared
some of the muck land and has
planted potatoes and other crops
He is also preparing to clear more
and has hundred or more goats
that are helping him, as well as hogs
without number.
The value of this land is added to
by it's nearness to Palatka and the
excellent shipping facilities afforded
for crops.
1t won't be very long before its
value will be fully recognized, and
when that time comes Mr.. Curry
will have Il little fortune.

The San MateO Trip.

Every afternoon at 2 o'clock, when
there is a demand for it, the little
launch Mist, capable of carrying 20
persons comfortably, leaves Adams
wharf for trip to San Mateo. The
boat is in command of Capt. ]. F.
Brewer, one of the owners, and all
he gets out of the round trip is 80
cents head and the satisfaction of
giving heap of pleasure to his pas
sengers.
You ask, "What is there to see at
San Mateo?n There are a whole lot
of interesting things for tourist to
see. In the first place he has 10
mile ride on one of the most beauti-
full rivers in the world. Palatka
people sometimes forget that fact.
Then there is the pretty orange
groves, the trees of which are just
now white with bloom, which makes
the air heavy with the sweetest per-
fume of this fowery land. Many of
these trees are also still laden with
grape fruit and oranges, and this is
an interesting sight to most folk.
Close to the landing in San Mateo
is the big l2-acre orenge grove shed
of the San MateO Fruit Company
Any man who knows good thing in
investment when he sees it will in
stantly recognize this one.
The town proper lays back nearly
mile from the landing and it's up
hill all the way. Now, anybody
who has passed u week in Florida
knows that hills are scarce in this
state. At the top of this hill lies
pretty San Mateo with its neat
homes scattered here and there, its
beautiful shade trees, its groves, and
view of the winding river which is
seen stretching out in the distance.
There is large tobacco farm at
San Mateo. Good tobacco dOesn t
grow everywhere, but it does grow
here. Mr.. S. w. Rowley, the owner
of this farm, also has a cigar factory
there, and he uses none but San
Mateo grown tobacco in the making
Of his cigars. Experts say his brands
of cigars are the best in Florida,
Twice has he taken all the premi-
ums in sight at the Florida State
Fair with them. The best of his
manufacture are burned by the best
people-people who know good
thing when they test it. He makes
cigars that range in price from $l7 to
$ll0 per thousand.
Mr.. Rowley is proud of his success
and he loves to show his plant to
visitors. He is the leading mer-
chant of the town and postmaster.
There are pretty drives over good,
hard roads at San Mateo, and any
one who could appreciate trip
to a quiet village set on a hill
should join the tribes that go up day

A Successful Concert.

The st. Patrick's Concert at the
opera house on Tuesday night was a
most successful entertainment from
every view point. The audience was
large and appreciative and every
number of the program was gem.
The piano duet of Mrs. Henry S
Wilson and Mrs. G.. f. Selden was
perfectly executed. The playing of
these ladies is always a drawing
card with Palatka people. Master
Warner Hamm and Miss Phyllis
Carter in violin and piano duet re-
ceived hearty encores. They are
little people, but, my how they can
play!
Miss Capo of st. Augustine is a
queen of song, She was the star of
the evening. Her singing has long
entitled her to rank mong prima
donnas. She was on the program for
two solos. She gave four and re-
sponded to hearty encores in each
case.
Allen Holton is an actor. Imper-
sonation of character is his business
and he has his business well in hand.
He might also be termed Il lightning
change artist from the ease with
which, in his recital of the three-act
comedy, David Garrick, he went
from the portrayal of one character
to another. Mr.. Holton undertook q
big job but he went through with the
work in thorough manner and in a
way which stamps him as an artist
The audience was thoroughly pleased
with his work and showed it's appre.
citation by hearty applause.
The vocal duet by Miss Capo and
Mr.. John Tracy Griffin was a pleas
ing feature of the program. 1t intro
duced Mr.. Griffin in new role Of
public singer, and the News trusts
this will not be the last of him. Mr.
Griffin possesses a rich baritone and
in the duet with Miss Capo the voices
blended in exquisite harmony. This
number pleased the audience i'm
mensely. The closing number
Good night" by a quartette com
posed of Miss Capo, Mrs. Fl. 0
Hamm, Messrs. M. NJ. Vickers anc
A. r. Cartmel. was last but not leas
in pleasure giving qualities to th'
audience. 1t was beautifully rem
dered.
Mrs. Henry S. Wilson and Mrs. H
o. Hamm were the accompaniests o
the evening.

The Putnam High School.

The Putnam High School in this
city has been getting another COM
pliment. 1t comes from Rev. Dr..
Fisher, vice-president of Elizabeth
College. Charlotte, n. c. DR.. Fisher,
who recently visited Palatka, states
that Elizabeth Female College had

that Putnam High School ranked
second in the state regarding eff
cheney in the work accomplished.

the student accepting it will be ad-
mitted to Elizabeth College without
other examination than that had
here.

leading female schools in the south
and has what is generally conceded
to be the best art department. The

Protect yourself, and don't trust TO

NO BOUNDARY DECISION.
Report of Favorabc Finding for U. s. @ Premature. -S s's.

London, Oct. 16.-The Associated Press has the highest authority for say ing that the announcement made by the London Morning Advertiser to-day, that the decision of the Alaskan bound- ary commission virtually comedies the American case, is entirely untrue. The commission, thus far, has reached no decision, and no vote has been taken in the private sessions which would in- dicate Chief Justice Alverstone's posi- tion. It is true that the general trend of opinion among those connected with the tribunal. aside from the cornmis- sioners, is that the ultimate decision will be in favor of the United States, but there is as yet not the slightest warrant for saying that it has been reached.
 Confirming the statement that no de- cision in the case has been reached, the St. JImes' Gazette this afternoon adds: ''There is, however, increasing pessi- mism in Canadian circles.''
 The commission adjourned to-day un- til tomorrow, without making any an- nouncement. There was no formal ses- sion this afternoon. Some of the coun- sel were called in to discuss matters of detail in connection with the maps.

FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
Efrort 10 Bring Labor and Capitol Nearer.

Chicago. Oct. 16.--Although questions of dispute and of great interest to the wage earner and the employer, such as the t.'open shop,' methods of paying wages, piece work and bonus, came up before the conference of the National Civic Federation to-day, no action has yet been, decided upon that will improve the relations of the principals in the controversy. However, 1t is not consid- cred improbable that before the session His brought to a close some action that will aid in bringing labor and capital closer together may be taken. A num- Der Of the speakers at the session to- day favored this, saying the occasion was opportune.
 Among those in attendance to-day were Henry c. Hunter, commissioner of the Metal Trades association of New York: Marcus M. Marks. president of the National Clothing Makers associa- ton of New York: J. N. Gum of New
 York, James Mcconnell president of the International Association of Machinists; w. E. Pfahler of Philadelphia, Frank

 Laboring men predonninated in the
 proceedings and at one time when the discussion was becoming general sew e.al in the audience arose and talked I on questions which at times tended to-

STATE SCHOOL FOR BOYs.
Annual Report of the Trustees-New
 pians Proposed.

Hartford, Oct 16.The trustees of the Conencticut School for Boys sub mitted their annual report to Governor Chamberlain to-day Concerning the state reformatory, the board expressed the hope that with the establishment of the reformatory, legislation will pc enacted permitting the transfer of boys who are almost hopelessly incorrigible, from the state school to the reforma- tory. Great good would result to the school, the trustees state, if they could be transferred to such an institution.
 The first work taken up during the year was the finishing and equipment If the metal working branch of the manual training department. The metal working branch of the department, though in operation less than year, is meeting all expectations. There are 12O boys enrolled in the manual train ing classes, and double that number will be enrolled next year.
 The extension of the manual training work has had tendency to reduce the amount of revenue derived from the chair shops. Another line of profitable labor will be substituted in the near future to make up for the deficit caused by the loss of income referred to. The cash balance on hand after the payment of all September bills is $1,096.31. To this is to be added the September pay rnents from the state treasurer not re- ceived until after September 30, amount ing to $5.441.16.
 The number of boys in the school the first of the present month according te Superintendent Williams figures, was 417. which is fourteen more than Oc- tober i of last year. The number sent by the eight counties of the state dur. ing the year is as follows:
 Hartford county, 27; New Haver county, 65; Fairfield county, 27; New London county, F; Middlesex county 8; Holland county, |; Windham county 5. Total, 145. ~$
 one of the most interesting organiza' lions at the institution is the schoo band. Of the former members of tht band paroled since September 30, 1899 eight are now members of United State: army bands and thirteen belong tt civilian bands Forty boys are connect ed with the band.
