try down to the present. The other
film covered a hundred years of
baseball 1t pictured all the big
players during that time and
showed how the big pitchers held
the ball in the pitching that made

Must Pay Taxes
Or Else

According to recent ruling of
the attorney general, the county
treasurer must proceed to collect
all taxes on personal property with
in 80 days after the date of assess
ment.
Heretofore, it has been the Gus
tom to accept personal property
taxes any time from the date of as
sessment to November 30th, after
which time, the tax became delin-
quent and penalty and interest were
added thereto.
This practice has been declared IL
legal and the treasurer and his
sureties are liable on his official
bond for all taxes on personal prop
erty remaining uncollected by rea-
son of the wilful failure and ne
glect of such treasurer to levy upon
and sell such personal property for
the taxes levied thereon.
No exceptions are permitted to
be made and all those liable for
personal property tax, not a lien on
real estate, are urged to heed this
notice and pay the tax at once in
order to avoid the expense of seiz-
ure and sale of their property.

REXFORD, April 3O-A birthday
party, one that differed from the
usual run of such events, was held
at the home of Peter Hammons.
Friday, April 25th. What made this
party unusual was because of the
fact that Mr.. Hammons, in whose
honor the party was given, had
reached the age of one hundred
years. 1t was happy gathering of
relatives, friends and neighbors, but
none of the guests were happier or
gayer than the honor guest him
self. During the afternoon he en-
tertained his guests by playing
some old time selections on his be-
loved violin.
This rare treasure is a Stradivar-
Jus, made in 1880, I'll years ago, by
the famous violin maker, Stradivar-
Jus, Cremona, Italy. This violin was
purchased by Mr. Hammons while
still a young man and has been
in his possession for seventy-one
years.
Peter Hammons was born in Cash
vile, Va, in 184l, the youngest of
a large family, and now the only
surviving member of it. He spent
his boyhood in that state. In 1861
at the age of 81, he enlisted in the

Z Cents Of
Every Dollar
Go In Taxes
That Is Percentage
OF Income Paid Out
By Great Northern.
HAS LARGE INCREASE
IN LUMBER SHIPMENTS

Out of every dollar paid the
Great Northern Railway by its pa
irons for transportation last year,
taxes took slightly more than Il
cents, F. ]. Gavin, president, states
in the company's annual report to
stockholders.
The report shows that the rail-
roads taxes reached new ALI
I time high of $12,273,20 This is
nearly double what they were five
years ago and 81 per cent mora
than in 1889. The railroad paid s.
different kinds of taxes, the largest
of which were state and county,
federal income, pensions and un-
employment.
As compared with the dividend Of
/ SO cents share paid stockholders
last year, the company's taxes
equaled $4.91 per share OF its cap
ital stock.
Other interesting comparisons are
made with respect to taxes in thG
company's report. It's 1910 taxee
would have paid for 1890, 900 hours
of labor, or the railroads wholc

or provided for its tie requirements
for 6-2/3 years, its rail purchases
for IL years, or its full needs for
two years.
4 Due to the sharp rise in taxes.
Mr.. Garvin reports that the Great
Northern's net railway operating
income for 1910 was less than for
the years 1885, 1885 and 1887, d.
spite larger operating revenues IN
1910 than for any year since 1880
With gains resulting from inn
proved business and increased e.
ficiency largely wiped out BY In
creased taxes, the report shows tha4
about half of the Great NortheTn'1
! net income for the year results from
savings effected in interest charges

Nine heavy freight h11A<t 1oeo-
motives were rebuilt and modefn-
lied at company shops during 1870
and sixteen more are scheduled for
completion in 1871.
To provide better equipment for

ticularly, 1000 50-ton box carr were
placed in service last year and the

Shipments of iron ore from Min
nesota mines totaled l9,889,781 long
tons, an increase OF 6,4O8,724 tons
over 1889.
The Great Northern had an in
, crease of Is per cent in shipments
. of lumber and lumber products last
year. Carload shipments OF po-
/ tatoes increased Al per cent. The
, company's apple traffic was about
the same as during the previous
year. Grain shipments totaled Ill.,
, 600, 900 bushels, slightly less than
: in 1889. Livestock loadings in
creased slightly.
