They were caught everywhere. and
their fighting qualities, especially when
landed on light tackle, furnished many
thrills Some weighing from five to
seven pounds were landed. and one
report was that two caught In the
vicinity of Blackistones Island tipped
the scales at eight pounds each.
The run of trout and weakflsh did
not measure up to past years. Despite
this many good-size trout were landed.
The only drawback to this yc'r's
fishing was the small number of rock
fish caught. Some good catches OF
these fish, however, were landed In the

Golf Analysed

THERE is one more thing t. be

Nearly all the good golfers have
come to a realization, before their
careers have gone far. that there is
no particular benefit from earring
the clubhead below the level OF the
shoulders at the top, but rather a
loss of control that is disad1an-
tageous.

the average, Is better today than
when he tied for the championship.

The great Britisher, Harry Var

THE 1882 fishing season VIII go down
L in history as one Of the best ever
experienced by Washington anglers
in the waters of Chesapeake Bay and
its tributaries. At the start Of the
season the hardheads arrived In un-
usual numbers and furnished great
sport until the trout and the blues made
their appearance later in the year.
The hardheads were much larger than
for years past, some reported weighing
as much as five pounds.
An unexpectedly large run of blue
fish in the bay and all salt water
streams also kept the anglers busy.

FEDERAL TAXES
OUTLINED FOR
LOCAL CHAMBER

Those who heard r. w. Little,
deputy collector of internal rev.
enue, speak at yesterdays Ell Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce lun-
cheon meeting on the revenue act
of 1882 felt somewhat like players
of the old nursery game "he
couldn't bite you, but he could bite
you,1 for the differences between
products on which the manufac-
turer pays the tax and on which
the dispenser or purchaser pays
the tax are SO slight that the aver
age person could not differentiate
between them. This is especially
true in the soft drink business,
where the manufacturer pays the
tax on drinks which he makes, but
the dispenser pays the tax if he
buys syrups and manufactures it
into soft drinks.
This soft drink tax becomes more
complicated when one finds that
there is a tax on lemon, orange,
lime or grape juice, but no tax on
cider If the dispenser buys choc-
olate syrup and uses it as choco-
late syrup, the manufacturer pays
the tax, but if the dispenser puts
vanilla into this syrup to use in
fountain drinks he pays the tax. 1t
would seem that the best way to
find out who is paying tax and
on what would be to consult the
collector of internal revenue. He
knows the subject and can save
the taxpayer from mental worry,
brain fag, and possible insanity.
Little explained the sales tax on
tires, mechanical refrigerators,
cameras and similar lines of mer-
chandise which is not as compli-
Gated as the soft drink tax. But
here again, new tires are taxable,
rebuilt tires are also taxable, new
oil is taxable, but rebuilt oil is
not taxable The check tax, tele-
phone, electric, gasoline, amuse-
ment and bond and stock certifi-
cate taxes were also covered by the
speaker and those who attended
the meeting found these explana-
tons much easier to grasp.
Little stated that some of the
taxes would be discontinued in
July, 1884, and until that time, the
department of internal revenue
would have to depend to a great
extent on the cooperation of the
public in levying and collecting
taxes under the 1892 revenue act.
He is permanently located in I'M
perial Valley to collect internal
revenue and will assist any person
or firm in determining to what ex-
tent this act affects each individ-
ual business.
Little stated that information on
the 1882 income tax would be out
within the next few weeks and that
considerable change had been made
since last year in amount of tax,
exemptions, etc.

Beyschlag Warns
Lettuce Growers
To Watch Stands

Lettuce growers are warned to
beware of stands of Imperial F
strains of lettuce obtained as a re-
suit of the heavy rain on October
9 and TO- He points out that many
paintings of this particular strain
of this particular strain of lettuce
made during warm weather in Sep
tember failed to germinate at that
time. With the cooler weather
which accompanied the recent
rain, these paintings of this strain
are producing excellent stands of
lettuce. The farm advisor points
out, however. that this Imperial F.
strain is adapted only to very early
and very late paintings and not to
such a midseason date of germin-
alton as October 8 and 10.
The Imperial F strain developed
by Dr. Ivan c. Jaeger, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, combines
resistance to both brown blight and
mildew diseases. It makes high
quality lettuce at relatively high
temperatures. For that reason it
is satisfactory when planted in
September so that it can mature
in December or when planted
about November l for harvesting
in the spring. When planted from
October to October 20 the I'M
perial F, as we'll as the old New
York and New York No. u, are al
most sure to make too small heads
when they mature during the sea-
son from January 10 to February
20.
The farm advisor recommends
that stands of Imperial F and all
old New York or New York No. II,
obtained as result of the recent
rain. be destroyed. These can be
replaced with Imperial D at this
time, possibly until about October
25. About November Imperial F
can again be planted with the ex-
pectation. of securing high quality

themselves on strike and announced
their intention Of refusing to attend
classes until the administration agreed
