fish department of Florida provide
that the commissioner shall have
his office in the capitol, or may have
it at any other point in the State by
the consent of the governor. The
duties of his office have Deen con-
Quoted from Jacksonville, but for
greater convenience in being in
touch with other departments Of the
government, Mr.. Jones has just
moved his Office to Tallahassee, and
has an attractive suit of offices up
on the second floor of the capitol.

commissioner has just been pre-
pared, and presents some very in
teresting information in connection
with the first years administration

sons for violating the game and fish

ments for this department for the

away before the man had a chance to
rob him. The hold-up is the thirteenth
that has occurred since November /.
Smith was on his way home about
1880 clock last night when he noticed
a colored man lettering at the entrance
TO the vaduct. His suspicious aroused,
smith approached cautiously. and just
lefore reaching the man, he asked him
what he wanted.
Il want your money the man said.

mans jaw that he went down.
Smith then reported the matter to the
police and two colored men answering
the description of the highwayman were
rounded up by police of No. 6, and held
pending investigation. Neither has
been charged with the attempted rob-
berry.

gency routes in such localities.
Among the many instances where
an acroplane service would he OF
great benefit, is tn- route between
Silver CITY and Mogollon, y. NJ.
The mails at present between those
10 nts are carried cy motor truck
Owe a mountain range for a dis
lance of ~ miles. The boat route
between Sandusky, Ohio, and points
along Put-in-Bay could also be re-
placed by aviation routes to a great
advantage.
Then there are the isolated offices
in the Rocky Mountains which could
be made operative the greater part

now the case.
In other instances Offices are subject

Three requests have been made TO
Congress for an appropriation to en-
able the Department 70 proceed along
