TAXABLE LANDS INCREASED!

One of the main reasons for concern
as to why the Internal Improvement Board
hadn't forwarded the deeds to Monroe
County property sold at auction during
Murphy sales the first part of this year,
was that continued delay meant that the
lands in question could not be placed on
the county and city tax rolls for the new,
fiscal year.
With the arrival of the deeds from
Tallahassee last weekend, however, that
fear is disspelled and both the county and
city tax assessors and collectors are now
taking steps to see that approximately 700
new land owners are reminded that they
will be expected to pay their taxes.
In the case of the city, it has been es-
timated that sum near the SIS 900 mark
may be realized from these new lands now
released by the l. l. Board for taxation.
That news is quite welcome, as all will
agree, when the present Stagnant condition
of the municipalities financial condition is
considered. It will probably mean that the
present administration will find it possible

this date forward.
One feature of the clearing of these
Murphy lands, whether to old or new
owners, is that in the case of city taxes,
advantage may be taken of the discount
arrangement voted by the council last
spling. Until October first, all taxes
owed prior to 1886 may be settled OF a
thirty per cent basis, providing the taxes
for the last three years are paid in whole.
Key West sighed with relief when
Clerk Sawyer announced the arrival of the
deeds The Citizen does likewise in the
knowledge that, at long last, the |. |.
Board has completed the job, in the main,
so badly muddled.
The addition to the tax rolls of parcels
owned by those who were successful bid
ders at the sales, indicates, at the outset,
that that number of newcomers are added
to the list of conscientious taxpayers. 1t is
to be hoped that they remain in that cate

PEIPING'S MANY NAMES

Many of the worlds capitals and
other important cities have seen their
names changed in recent years, and it
would take much space to enumerate them
ALL But perhaps no city in the world has
had its name changed so often as Peipings
China, formerly known for SO years as
Picking.
Peiping is not really new name for
the city, but an old one restored, for it was
known as Peiping before it was called
Picking. The many changes in the city's
name were made by conquerOrs who ruled
the city at various times during its long,
and largely unrecorded history.
Long before the Christian era there
was city on its site called XII, and it has
been known at different times as Chung-tu,
Yen-shan Flu, Yen-king, and even once as
Marking, which is now the name of the
later capital far to the southwark:
Coming down to the Middle Ages,
Feiping was called Khanbalik, or Cam
baIuc. when it first became known to Eu-
ropeans in the 18th century, shortly after
its capture and rebuilding by the con-
oueror Kublai Khan, founder of the Mon
gol dynasty in China. In the following
century the Ming dynasty came to power
and the city was first called Peiping, &C
cording to some authorities, the name
later being changed to Picking.
In all times and under all names,
Peiping has been an unhappy city. For
anv but the ruling class, there has never
been much to live for in China

When last we wrote we were
sitting in the rain in Bradenton
Trailer Park. Our pans were to
proceed on to Tampa or st.
Petersburg and the weather
made up our minds for us. Two
days previously the Little Man
atee River Bridge had been
washed out which meant a long
detour TO Tampa so we decided
on going to St. Pete on the ferry.

our Mollie, friend of long

old friend Mollie, but that would
never do because Mollie is not
that old.

New England village and one OF
the neighbOrs was a very de-
I lightful person, Mollie's sister
from England. We used to hang
around her back door waiting for
afternoon tea and English muf-
fins. She told us she had a small
sister in England and suggested
that we write to her. This was
an intriguing prospect and IN
childish enthusiasm we wrote to
Mollie in England. The time was
long to us before we received
an answer but MolIie replied just
as enthusiastically. We went

but is due to the record demand

This well had flow of $4,000
600 cubic feet of gas in the De-

open for several weeks. A $500

There is no Montana operator
who is not confident that forma-
tions below the Madison lime will
produce oil and gas, when tested,
but the Steveville test, north OF the
Sweetgrass Arch and in identical
lime formations, may serve to whet
the desire of some Montana opera

tions, especially If the Steveville
