GLEN MILLER ill FINE CONDITION

Park Superintendent Howard Ridge Has Demonstrated His Fitness. VISITORS ON INCREASE OUT-OF-TOWN PICNIC PARTIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO COME TO THE PARK AND ENJOY ITS MANY PRIVILEGES. Howard Ridge, superintendent of Glen Miller park Is demonstrating his fitness for the position which was held and so excellently filled for many years by the late Henry Fossenkemper. Supt. Ridge took up the work early In the spring and his efforts to maintain the high standard set by his predecessor have not been in vain. Glen Miller never looked , more charming in her summer garb than now despite the long stretch of dry weather which was not broken until yesterday. The roadways have .been put In fine shape and are kept clean at all times. Hay making has . been In progress during the past few days and several tonn of timothy have been cut. Alligator's Long Fast. The zoological collection at the park, though not being increased rapidly, is in good shape, the animals and birds being well cared for and to all appearances as happy as captives can be. Supt. Ridge was fearful that he would lose the alligator which ' has been living at the parX for the past three years. Last October he ceased eating and throughout the winter months lay as if dead in his tank of water in the winter Quarters. This spring when sunrise warmed up things considerably, his alllgatorship awakened, but not to eat. . The most tempting morsels in the way of flies spiders, bits of meat or fish, failed to excite his appetite. The fast continued until two weeks ago, when the alligator gulped down a few small fish. Boscoe Still Surly. Boscoe the bear la the same Indolent creature of old, though his temper is probably a little worse for wear, his increasing age not softening It a mite. In order to furnish Bos'fco a little extra exercise and amusement Supt. Ridge is in the habit of catching carp from the lake and placing them alive in the concrete basin In the bear pit. Rosco enters the wafer and Immediately gives battle to the carp finally coming out victor but not until he has splashed about in such fury that half of the water in the basin is thrown out. Bosco has demonstrated his fondness of anything that can be eaten and for many things that should not. Children are In the habit of throwing various articles Into the bear pit and Bosco as a rule makes a meal off the offerings whatever they may be. Fish, however, he particularly craves and during the summer months he does not miss a day without a few cam. Visitors Made Welcome. The Board of Public Works which has Immediate oversight at the park Is encouraging out-of-town picnic parties to come to Richmond and make use of Glen Miller and as a result there are more outings of this kind scheduled for this summer than ever before. All the privileges of the Glen can be enjoyed by the visitors without cost. BEAVER WILL BE ALLOWED LIBERTY (Continued From Page One.) as well as that of being a public nuisance. Censures Salvation Army. Beaver declared that, the Salvation Army is a nuisance, as all the money collected goes, to Booth" and he appeared to look with aversion upon any minister of the Gospel who accepts money in return for his work. Beaver is self-supporting, doing whitewashing, paper-hanging and various other odd Jobs for a living. It was upon this fact that the commission hesitated to commit him to the hospital or other place of confinement for, as Dr. Davis satd: "There is no use of burdening the state of county with one who is as harmless ar.d selfsupporting as Beaver." Beaver was released from iall last night. The police tried to persuade hlra Co understand that he must not preach upon the public corners of the cltr and collect crowds which become a nuisance to the neighborhood. The small boys of the city are in the habit of taunting him and cnllias hlra names which have been resented by Beaver. It is likely also that boys who in the future Intentionally annoy or molest Beaver will be arrested. Daisy Crop is Light. Newcastle, Intl., July 3. (Spl.) the immense crop of field daisies, vhich has been noticeable in this :Ity and vicinity each summer. Is argely conspicuous by its absence '.his year. In other years every va iant lot and field was covered with a raving masB of white and yellow daises, which were a source of delight to risitorfr

LABOR IS HARD TO GET

A PECULIAR CONDITION Unskilled Workers Are in Demand But the Larger Shops Claim They Are Not to be Obtained in Sufficient Numbers. The large shops of the city are having trouble just at present in getting laboring men. An official of a large concern in talking or the mater yesterday said that the harvest, the fact that the city was paying two dollars a day for laborers, and that there was much other outside work to do this summer, that paid equally as good or better wages than the shops, all combined to make shop labor scarce. He said that enough skilled mechanics could be secured to meet the demands but men that were worth 15 to 20 cents an hour to the shops were scarce. So scarce in fact that is might be necessary for the shops to offer a little higher wage in order to get the needed employes. "It's a funny thing," the official went on to say "but half the men who work at common labor In the shops, will quit a steady job in a factory in order to take a job for a short time in the summer, that pays them a few cents more on the day. Good steady Laboring men that can be relied on are hard to get. A cood percent of the men who work at rough labor are like the Southern darkies, they like to loaf occasionally. They work a short time in the shop, particularly in the cold months, then break out in the summer and spend their time between spells of labor and taking vacations in the shade or along some river, fishing. Richmond gets the best results out of Its skilled mechanics of any city in the country but it is no nearer solving the common labor problem than her sister cities."

The total value of personal property in all townships and incorporated towns is placed at $8,820,040. The total valuation of taxable property of every kind In the entire county is listed at $27,746,140. The . mort gage deductions reduce this total $877,340.

BILLING SMALL ACCOUNTS The County Treasurer's Office Is Now Busy Making up the Small Tax Statements. The county treasurer's office is now busy with the work of billing the small tax accounts which "have not been settled up. These range from two and three dollars to five and eight. Many of them go to those who do not own properties. ' Every year there are a great number of these petty accounts returned to the office by mail as the persons have moved out of the township, county or state and can not be located. It Is thought that those delinquents are the cause of thoughtlessness as they are of such small amounts.

ANDERSON HAS MIJCE TRUST Prices Are Now Being Advance ed There to Forty Cents a Hundred Pounds. NEW COMPANY POSSIBLE

TO PREVENT COMPETITION PRESENT COMBINE HAS RENTED ALL ICE CUTTING PRIVILEGES ALONG WHITE RIVER. While Richmond enjoys cheap Ice on account of keen competition between several companies. Anderson is complaining of an ice trust and increased rates. A dispatch from that city says: This city is in the grip of an ice trust that has advanced prices from 30 cents per 100 pounds (last year's rate) to 40 cents a hundred for deliveries of less than 100 pounds, and 35 cents a hundred for lots of 500 pounds or more. Besides advancing rates, the trust has divided the city into districts, and one company is not permitted to sell In another's territory. The trust effected includes the Consumers' Ice Company and the Anderson Coal and Ice Company. An ice consumer can not escape the rules and prices laid down by the ice combine, for it Is in sole control. The Consumers' company takes all the Norton Brewing Company's surplus Ice at about $2 a ton. The Consumers' company is selling ice to the Anderson Coal and Ice Companv on a sliding scale, ranging from $1.75 in March and April to $2.50 per ton, it is said, in the months oT June, July and August. The same ice is sold to consumers for domestic use for $3.50 to $4 per ton. New Company May be Organized. A new ice company by business men is contemplated, but it is thought it would be Impossible to get a new plant in operation early enough to have much effect on the Ice situation before another season. By that time, however, it is expected there will be a large and independent company ready to supply the local trade. To prevent competition, however, the combine has leased all the icecutting privileges along WThite river near the city.
