The large railroads are planning to
renew their their fight of 1918 before
the state board of equalization for low
er assessments. With the three state
tax commissioners comprising a ma
jority of the board in 1918, the request
of the railroads for sweeping horizontal
reductions was denied. The courts
later upheld the valuations placed by
the tax commission and the board of
equalization. The tax commissioners
continued as majority of the board in
1914 and no concerted attempt was
made by the railroads to obtain reduc-
tions. The recent legislature removed
the members of the tax commission
from the board of equalization, and
with the personnel thus changed, the
railroads have made plans for renewal
of their attempt to secure lower taxes.
Agents of the railroads have been at
work in the various counties for months.

When the superintendent
and dispatcher's offices were
abolished last spring it was be-
lieved by many railroad men
that the change was only tenn
porary, and that in due time things
will be as before. This opinion
seems to be confirmed by the
many rumors to the effect that
both the superintendent and
dispatcher's offices will be re-
sumed here by September, if not
before. Marcus Messenger.
The second emptying for this
year at the Stevens county fish
hatchery was made this week,
when the superintendent, C. J.
Rhode, planted 65, Cutthroat
and 5000 Rainbow frys in the
Pend Oreille lakes, $4,000 Cut
threats and $4,000 Rainbows in
Browns lake, 10000 Cutthroats
in Deer creek, and 10000 Cut
Threats in Clark's lake. About
hundred thousand Cutthroat
frys arrived this week from the
state hatchery and were planted
in the Pend Oreille lakes. Over
half a million frys were taken
from the Stevens county hatchery
this spring and distributed in the
various lakes and creeks of the
county. Mr.. Rhode has recently
made some vast improvements
at the fish hatchery and is con-
templating considerable more
Improvement work. He has
erected a workshop, storeroom
and woodshed combined and has
built four bird pens with roosting
coops. The buildings will be
painted a light slate color. In
the pens are three Golden pleas
ants and one Chinese pheasant.
Mr.. Rhode has also fenced the
acre tract with woven field wire,
and has it arranged so that the
Whitehall deer Lottie has most
of the tract for a range. The
deer was captured when a fawn
two years ago by Albert Keough
and given to the game commits
sioners. A road has been built
and graveled from the county
road to the hatchery, and the
creek running through the place
has been cleared and widened at
the bridge and is being made into
a beautiful pond. Mr.. Rhode is
leveling the ground around the
hatchery and will seed it to lawn,
probably white clover.
Shot through the mouth by a

the depot. His assailant is un-
known.

BILL" HICKS MAKES
JAIL BIRDS HAPPY
At Miami by lnstituting
Methods of Clean Living.

The Miami Herald of only a few
days ago tells of the cleaning-up pro-
lcess which was only recently inaugu-
rated in the Dade county Jail at Mi
Iami, and which, now that the work
has been completed and the new poll
cy of clean living is in vogue, gives
to that county Jail management
which will tend to up-lift rather than
further degrade the unfortunates whe
become inmates.
Much of the credit for this work
the Herald gives to Deputy Sheriff
Hicks, our own Palatka "Bill" Hicks
of other days. The Herald says:
Since Deputy Sheriff W. A. Hicks
has been in charge of the jail, disci-
plinary measures have improved to
marked degree Working on the
theory that there's too little sun
shine in there as it is, and the orl'
way in which to make it cheerful for
the unfortunates is to always have
kindly word for them," Bill" as
he is commonly known, has held in
formal chats with the unfortunate
prisoners, and outcome has been an
agreeable understanding between the
| iailor and inmates. You can't walk
into the Jail and say one word against
I"Bill," or against Sheriff Hardie. If
you did the prisoners would start a
rough house quicker than you could
count five.
At least once every night, and sew
eral times during the day, Jailor
Hicks visits the negro quarters on the
second floor. He chats informally
with them, answering their various
questions as to the happenings in the
outside world, takes their orders for
smoking tobacco, chewing or other
"luxuries" that they desire from time
to time.
After this, the prisoners all line up
as they are compelled to do in the
large penal institutions of the coun-
try, in lock-step style, and emerging
from the short corridor, each negro
announces his number. and files out
into the commodious corridor for an
"airing." After this period is over
the negroes again line up, and as they
pass into their cells, they again speak
out their numbers, so that the jailol
is informed that all are in, or wheth'
er, in the dark recesSeS, someone is
lurking and awaiting an opportunity
to attack him and try to effect escape
Recently "Bill" has permitted tn,
negroes the pleasure of spending the
entire day in the more spacious quar-
ters which enables them to walk bacl
and forth, and where they have NOR,
light, and are favored with exercis
that the more cramped quarters woul,
make impossible.
A few days ago the warden install
ed an electric light bulb in each an,
every cell, in order that the prisoner
might enjoy the advantages of read
ing by night.

A. Johnson-Real Estate
Profit Plan.

Among the important matters un-
der discussion at the regular meeting
of the Palatka board of trade on Mon

would require S400 more by the enc
of the season. The club had done its
full share in advertising Palatka dur.
ing its remarkably successful season
and was entitled to the support of oul
business men for this if for no Other
reason.

featuring enterprises. There are III

SECOND REGIMENT
BAND Of PALA1RA
Makes a Great Hit at State
Encampment and in
Jacksonville.

The Palatka Military Band, or more
properly speaking, the Second Regl-
ment Band of Palatka, returned from
the State Camp Grounds on Tuesday
night after week in camp.
The band, composed of twenty-six
pieces, was under the direction of its
leader and organizer, j. W. Chatta-
way without doubt one of the most
efficient band leaders in the country,
a thorough musician and composer of
nation wide fame. During the week
at the camp the band was the center
of attraction whenever there was mu
sic. On Saturday night Prof. Chat
taway took his band to Jacksonville,
where it gave public concert. OF
this concert the Times Union said:
Complimentary to the citizens of
Jacksonville, and as mark of appre-
citation for the smoker and entertain
ment arranged by the Jacksonville
chamber of commerce for the officers
of the regiment last Friday night, the
crack band of the Second infantry,
National Guard of Florida, now in
camp at the State Camp grounds
came into the city last night and gave
a concert in Springfield park.
"The bend was under the direction
of Chief Musician ]. w .Chattaway
and consisted of twenty-six pieces. A
large number of people gathered al
the park to hear the excellent music
: which began at o'clock. By some
oversight the lights in the park bend
stand were not turned on until
-.
the band played by the light of ont
of the park lamps.
| "The band, which is stationed at Pa
| latka, was only recently mustered int.
the military service of the state. L
, was organized three years ago and i:
. supported by the public spirited citi
} zens of Palatka. 1t is an excellen-
, musical organization and the concer-
last night was greatly enjoyed by al
J those fortunate enough to be present.
