BOARD GRANTS
PACKAGE LICENSE
GREER AND WAHA DEALERS
GET PERMITS TO HANDLE
LIQUORS IN ORIGINAL PACK.
AGES.

The county commissioners today
granted the package liquor licenses
to J. r, O'Neill of Greer and Hames
& Wallace, at Waha. The app-ica-
tions for these licenses were received
some time ago, but action was de-
ferred at the last meeting Of the
commissioners because Of the Latah
county action then pending in the
district court.
The applicants for ;ne package Ii
Ccnses have heretofore been engaged
in the retail liquor business at the
POINTS indicated and the application
for the package license was made
because of a slump in business which
rendered the retail saloon unprofita-
ble.
The applications have been given
much publicity because of the con-
tention in the district court, and as
no objection had been filed against
issuing the licenses petitioned for,
the board today granted the petit
tions.
Much of the time of the board
today has been given to the applica-
tions for new roads, the appointment
of road oyerseers and justices. All of
these matters have been under con-
sideration, but definite action has
been deferred.
The commissioners yesterday
awarded the contract for the con-
struction of a bridge over the Cot
tonwood creek near Myrtle to E. C.
Norris The price to be paid is
S374.50. Other bids and the bid
ders were as follows: William
Dew. 1894; A. F. Futter, 1894; A,
Walk, $3.50.
Yesterday was the day set for the
opening of bids for the contracts on
the Carter road, between Peck and
the Clearwater river, and the ]. T..
Springston road in the Peck locality.
No bids were received on the Carter
road and only one proposal, that by
y. T. Springston, was submitted on
the Springston road. The commits
sioners therefore decided to delay
the awarding of these contracts un-
til the April session.
The board granted the petition
incorporating the town of Vollmer
and appointed the following trustees
to serve until the time of the cleo
ton: Samuel Hollenbeck, L. q.
Thomas, J. F. Edwards, j. S. Tyker
and F. o. Miller.
The contract for the care of the
county poor was awarded yesterday
tc c. T. Stranahan, who has for
years received this contract. The
bid by Mr.. Stranahan was the only
one offered The charge he will
make under his bid is $16.50 for
such patients as can care for them
selves and $3.50 per day for sick pa
tients.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Fisherman's Paradise.


The fisherman's paradise In the Unit

There are other tnrpon grounds than

found their way to the southernmost
point OF Florida year after year with
gathering regularity, and some OF them
have landed from Eve to ten huge 100
or 200 FOUNDERS In one day, contend
that no such angling sport Gun be
found elsewhere In the world nor so
many fish as In the waters which lap
the shores of the various keys which
dot tho bay and the gulf stream. There
are over GOO kinds of fish between
Miami and Key West, and 100 OF these
are known as game fish. One OF the
destinations of the gainy tarpon is
that he Is mysterious lie comes in
schools, whence no one seems to know.
He is sighted sometimes rs enrly as

mockingly flashes his six feet or 80 OF
shining silyery body In the eyes OF the
eager sportsman, he refuses to notice

he begins to take the hook, and IN this
month anglers begin to arrive on the
