WRIT OF SUPERCEDEAS
GRANTED BY COURT

A writ of supercedeas was issued
by the supreme court OF the state
Saturday in the case of the city
versus the board of control OF the
Elks club, now pending in the coun-
ty court. The writ stops all proceed
ings in the matter until the question
at issue can be passed upon by the
supreme court, which may be a year
or more. Immediately upon the de-
cision of the supreme court on the 9Th
inst, which declared that the city had
no right TO declare the Elks club a
nuisance and proceed against 1t as
such, the defendant asked for a su-
percedeas in the case of the city
against Frank Manning, Frank McFar-
lane and E. A. Bradbury as members
of the board Of control, which was
tried before Judge Cooper several
months ago. and it was granted this
morning.
Under the writ no fines can be col
lected nor any proceedings had until
the matter at issue is determined by
the court of last resort. Bond was
made out and forwarded to the clerk
of the supreme court this afternoon.
When the case will come up for a
hearing Is purely conjectural. it will
be several months. 1t may be deferred
much longer than that.

INTERESTING FIGURRS FnOM
F.. .. THE ASSK68MRNT ROLLS

Deputy Assessor H. G. Webster has
eryskindly supplied the .naily Record
with some interesting figures COM
piled from the assessment. rolls Of
Fremont county for the year 1907.
which can hardly fail to attract the
attention of our readers. He shows
that while the assessment on property.
real and personal. at that time was
$6,651 ,734, the value Of the railroads
and telegraph lines, of which there
were 146 miles Of the former and 631
miles of the latter, was valued at ST.
671,515. The coal companies were as
sessed ON a valuation of 946s,926. The
smelters on $51S,1s0, the oil compa-
MES ON $256,250, banks on $100.600,
real estate companies on 3294. .045, and
other state corporations on sS4,S90.
Among the most notable things shown
by the assessment list, however, Is the
fact that eight estates and non-resl-
dents pay staxes on $106.030. that 1S
residents have property valued at
1896, ,635, that Is people pay taxes on
$3,S34,050 while 4,925 others are as
sessed on only $2,S17.6s4. In other
words, rs people pay taxes on nearly
a million dollars more property than
the 1925 next succeeding biggest prop
erty owners. 1t Is apparent from this
state of affairs the public schools in
several Of the sparsely settled and
mountain districts of the state could
not be supported without the revenues
derived from the taxes on property
owned by non-residents and the cor
porations. The figures compiled by
Mr.. Webster are taken from the tax
schedules of 10000 and over. there
fore does not take into consideration
the smaller property owners Of the
county.

INDICATIONS POINT 10
A VERY LARGE CROP

The Florence Tribune sizes up the
fruit prospects OF this county a. fol-
lows:
Indications at this early date are to
the effect that Fremont county will
this year produce the largest crop OF
all kinds Of fruit In the history Of
horticulture in this part OF the Ar
kansas valley. Where the blossom
has made its appearance. the trees are
heavily laden. but not nearly all the
blossoms have yet come out.
The freeze Of few nights ago. al
though severe and doing much dam
age, was not 20 disastrous as It would
have been II 1t had occurred at this
time for the reason that only . small
part OF even the early fruit trees were
In bloom.
At that time most Of the blossoms
Of all kinds Of fruit was nipped and
the damage was more or less extsn-
sive. considering the number Of bios
SONS, but since the frost the YARN
rays OF the sun have caused millions
OF buds TO burst into flower and now
the orchard tracts are vsritable gar
den Of flowers. r....
Judging from the number Of yblos-
SONS ON each tree even At this time.
the trees coald lose half Of them and
still there would bs an excellent crop
next fall. A . matter Of fact II
would probably be . ane thing II some
Of the trees which are the more hsav-
lily loaded with blossoms. should lose
some OF them. for 20 much weight on
tho trees next fall will cause the limbs
to break and the individual fruit will
probably not be nearly 10 large.
The best crop In dollars and cents
that the county has ever grown in
apples is something over half mil
lion dollars. but - the trees did not
bear last year and the crop Of the year
bfore was killed on the trees in the
fall, the trees, each and all Of them.
this year. should germinats heavily
and the banner year Of all Of them
should be enjoyed In 1908.

name. Deputy Game Warden David
Franks of Cripple Greek saw the sheep
heads and conhscated them. Ever
since then Klantssky has been evading
the officers. Twice before he has been
arrested on a similar charge. but e.

GETTING ALONG NICELY
WITH SCENIC ROAD

Work is proceeding nicely on the
construction of the scenic driveway
into the Royal Gorge, and, II nothing
unforeseen happens to interrupt its
progress, ought to be open to vehicles
by the first of May.
A gang of twenty-six convicts under
the supervision of Overseer ]. E.
Poole have been employed on the un-
dertaking for couple Of weeks and
have accomplished a great deal. Thus
far all their energies have been direct
ed to building the approach to the
grade Of the old state ditch, which ia
some 80 or 70 feet above the level OF
Canal street, by which the proposed
driveway will be reached from the
city.
A good deal of blasting and heavy
rock work remains to be done before
the ditch grade is attained, but it is
a small matter to roll the broken
rock down hill and it does not take
the men long to dispose Of It when
once loosened up by the powder. The
approach to the grade is directly op-
posite the Hot Springs hotel and is
an exceedingly picturesque one. The
incline FROM Canal street to the, ditch
grade does net much, If any. exceed
5 per cent, making it easy Of attain
ment for either automobiles or horses.
The road will have a minimum
width of sixteen feet, in many places
it will be much wider than that, and
will be one of SURPRISING beauty and
attractiveness. 1t will differ from
the Skyline drive in the fact that it
will be distinctively a mountain drive
way with "the eternal hills" on every
hand and absorbing the vision in all
directions. The trio of tunnels
through which the road will pass, the
longest of which has a length Of near
ly 400 feet, will be an Interesting fea-
ture of the roadway.
The Arkansas river winding its way
among the mountains many feet below
the carriageway, with the railroad
track hugging the walls Of the canon,
will heigthen the beauty Of the drive
and add to its popularity among pleas
ure seekers. 1t Is not too much to
say that the Royal Gorge scenic drive
way will be the most beautiful of its
kind in the state.

PLAN. m CLOSE HR!.
LAKE FRONT ROAD

Residents of that portion OF Crosse
Pointe township ease and north OF
Crosse Pointe Farms, In what Is
known as Clairview, are figuring on
plan TO make the lake front mora
desirable for residence purposes by
closing the lake shore road on which
the electric cars run and opening L
new road back from the lake.
This would give the Clairview peu-
pie the same advantages with regard
TO water front that are possessed by
their neighDors In Crosse Pointe
Farms. and would tend TO spread out
the settlement OF summer villas In
that direction.
"A number OF people have been
speaking TO me about this idea." says
Charles II. Metcalf, resident Of that
section. mo committee has been APP
pointed yet or details upon, however.
The scheme would be very costly and
the advantages will have to be shown
clearly before It Is adopted"
At present, residents OF that se;-
ton have all the advantages OF a
lake frontage except that the dusty
road and stretch OF more OIL less
uncared for roadside intervene be-
tween them and the lake.
