ANNEXATION IS TO

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY OBJECTS
TO LOSING ONE-FTFTH OF
TAXABLE VALUES.

Should Swansboro. Woodland
Heighs, Forest Hill and Oak Grove
be annexed to Richmond. which is
the present plan OF the suburbanites,
Chesterfield county will lose an as-
sesed valuation approximating ST.
500, 000--ab cut one-fifth of the total
assessed valuation in the entire coun-
ty.
This will decrease the county's rev.
enues considerably and II is expect
ed that the county will put forth q
fight to attempt to prevent the plan
from passing. The citizens OF the
four snrburbs knocking at the doors
OF Greater Richmond asking for adj

passed her fifteenth birthday she felt
that, after the manner OF certain
golden-haircd, azure-eyed heroines,

rccrs she had pursued with breathless

when she must surely meet her

would have stopped TO consider
whether or not there was any such

for the last two years Daisy Grace
had assiduously cultivated the soci-

Hand" "Dinplcd Dotty, the Depu-

ill-starred damsels, who had been,
hguratively speaking, knocked down
and sat upon by that same relentless
fate.
Therefore abe felt that somewhere
in the wide, wide world the sad
sweetness OF "a love more bitter than
death" awaited her. She felt that
she would dare all "for loves dear
sake" and she longed for the day to
come when she should "read life's
meaning in her lovers eyes.
But Of all the papor-novel hcroines.

DRAWBACK IN FRIENDSHIP.

Friends are an expensive luxury
and when one risks ones capital on
calling and a mission here in life
one cannot afford to keep them. The
costly thing about keeping friends
does not lie, to be sure, in what one
does for them, but in what, out of
consideration for them, one refrains
from doing. In that way many spir-
itusl shoots are dwarfed in one. /

 When the Olympic arrived at Southampton on Thursday, there set foot on English soil, a man who has lately been causing a nutter in America. MT. Joseph Houston, or, as he is familiarly called "POwahful Joc," is cred ited with having turned 2IO dol lars into million in a couple of years.

Mr. Houston was quite will ing to tell the "Chroniclc" rep TeScntativc of his varying for tunes; in fact, in few brief mo- ments, he summarized his life n Kentucky, and in ilis carly days experienced the rigOrS of d luck less life in the mining >snlLIr- lncnts.

 What is the secret of fortune hunfing in Alaska?" Mr. IIous- ton was asked.
 "Well," he replied, with a smile, There's no regular answ- CT to that, but I guess tho best advice is to just take off your coat and hustle.

O|L COMPANY
 PAYS DIVIDENDS
The Alaska Development Com- pany Sells Part of It's oil
 Holdings

Stockholders in the Alaska De- rclopment Company, organized in s-rattle fifteen years ago and con- trolling nearly 5000 acres of oil lanus near Katalla, Alaska, were gladdene1 by the declaration of a dividend on basis of $t per share, amounting in all to S25,- 900. Charles F. Munday, one of the organizers of the original company and in charge of the af- fairs of the corporation sent to the local stockholders the checks which furnished evidence that faith of the local men who back cd th, Alaska oil enterprise more than a decade ago, was not mis- placed.
 It was early in 1897 that R. C.. Johnston, Thomas J. Hamilton and Charles F. Munday organiz- nd the Alaska Development con- pany. Oil claims located in the katalla fields by more than 50 in Gividuals were taken over by the corporation. Before the days of the klOndike rush the oil bearing fields of Alaska had been covered ny hardy prospcctors and prelim- mary work indicated the exist enc" of immcnSc tracts of oil lands in that part of Alaska.
 For many years following the preliminary work. the enterprise Jagged, but the original stock holders held to their belief that m time the richness of the dis trlct would be proved. Less than two years ago an option was glv- cn covering one-half the proper lies to Clark Davis, who assigned his rights to the Amalgamatod Development company, in which Mckenzie & Mann, an immensely wealthy Canadian railroad con- tracing firm, and others in Can ada, became interested.
 MT. Munday said that approxi- mately Si75,0OO had been paid on the properties, of which a con- siderable part had gone to pay old debts and to enable the pur- chasrrs to continue development wolk. Two weeks ago another payment of $45,OOO was made. and of this One-half was avail able for the payment of dividends to the original stockholders of the Alaska Development com- pany, on the basis of sI per share.
 For this stock many of the present holders paid but frac- ton of St per share, and these have made a nice cleanup from the dividend.
 The Alaska Development com- pany owns fOrty-flve claims not embraced in the option given two years ago.
