Did you know that pecan trees six or seven years from planting in grove could be made to bring in an income of $2.00 or more per tree, increasing the income to from $15.00 to $25.00 per tree in ten or twelve years t Take one acre, or twenty-seven trees, at seven years from planting bringing an average income of $2.00 per tree, means $54.00 in proceeds. If these trees are cared for, and presuming that at ten years, they yield as much as $10.00 per tree, which is a low estimate, that means over $250.00 per acre. It is no infrequent thing for a ten year planted tree to yield a crop of from fifty to seventy-five pounds of a high class, large Paper shell nut, that sell on the large markets for 25e and upwards per pound, and the demand cannot be sup- plied and will not within the next fifty years, from the fact that consumption is so much more steadily increasing and that pecans are being used for so many differ- ent purposes, even to making the most ex- pensive of salad oils on the market, also cooking oils; aside from being the fovor- ite nut for table use, candies desserts, etc. The American nut crop falls so far short that we are importing into the United States upwards of ten million dollars worth of nuts a year. The basis of yield from pecan trees by the most prominent and conservative ad- vocates of the industry, place first crop at five pounds sixth year, ten pounds seventh year, twenty pounds eighth year, forty pounds ninth year, and an increase of about fifteen pounds each year thereafter up to fifteen years, after planting of good sized grafted or budded trees, giving 130 pounds the fifteenth year, and after the fif- teenth year the yield still continues to in- crease. The parent Stuart tree bore 140 pounds of nuts at fifteen years from seed, and at eighteen years of age, bore 350 pounds of nuts. The price on inferior seedling pecans has advanced from three or five cents per pounds in the last few years, to ten and twelve and one-half cents per pound, and this latter is the price today of the small- est and most inferior grades in thousand pound lots, while the selected paper shell nuts of large size are selling at from twentyfive cents to seventy-five cents per pound on the large markets. The pecan industry is still in its infancy and promises to equal or exceed the valu- The following bill has been introduced in the Mississippi legislature and will be urged for passage before adjournment. The measure is favored by THE TUR- PENTINE OPERATORS ASSOCIATION which originated and secured the passage of similar legislation in Georgia and Flor- ida. The legislation has worked well and proven very beneficial to Turpentine Pro- ducers and honest dealers in those states. It appears that there are no laws in Mis- sissippi regulating naval stores inspection or preventing adulteration of turpentine. Therefore some of the evils regulated in Georgia and Florida have crossed the Al- abama river and are flourishing in the wes- tern territory.

It is radical in character, but it will protect the produc- ers against imposition, it will eradicate crookedness from this important indus- try, and will not injure nor inconvenience any honest operator, or buyer, or dealer. It must be recalled that conditions in Mississippi are different from what they are in Georgia and Florida. Here a great majority of the product is handled at the ports, while in the Mississippi territory the bulk of the product is handled in the interior. If you are a member of the Mississippi legislature VOTE FOR IT. If you are a producer, WRITE OR WIRE YOUR REP- RESENTATIVE OR SENATOR TO SUP- PORT IT. Salient features of the bill follow: Section 2. Be it enacted that after the passage of this act it shall be the duty of the Governor to appoint a competent per- son who shall be a resident and citizen of the state of Mississippi, as supervising in- spector of naval stores for the state of Mississipi, and who shall be familiar with and skilled in the inspection of naval stores, turpentine and rosin, and compe- tent to detect adulteration of turpentine and fraudulent tampering with the grades or weights of rosin, and who shall hold his office for four years from date of appoint- ment. Griffing Bros, Company Give Sound Reasons Why South Should Grow Pecans, Tie supervising inspector of naval stores to execute a good and sufficient bond to the state of Mississippi in the sum of $5,000 conditional for the faithful discharge of all the duties of his office, said bond to be approved by the Governor and filed in the office of the Secretary of State No person shall be appointed supervis- ing inspector of naval stores who is a producer, factor or buyer of naval stores. The supervising inspector of naval stores shall have his office in the port of this state receiving the largest amount of naval stores for sale or shipment. He shall have general supervision of all sub-inspectors of the state and it shall be his duty to see that they fairly and hon- esuy perform all duties imposed upon tnem, and in the manner provided by law, and to report to the Governor any delin- quency or irregularity of any such inspec- tor and to investigate complaints made by producers or others of the conduct of any such inspector in the discharge of his du- ties. The supervising inspector of naval stores for the state of Mississippi shall have general supervision of all naval stores plants, yards,warehouses and other places where turpentine and rosin is made,kept, handled or stored, and it shall be his duty to see that no adulturation of turpentine and no "horning" or changing the grades or weights of rosin is committed in this state, and to collect evidence of any adul- turation of turpentine or tampering with the grades or weights or grades of rosin which may come to his knowledge or be reported to him wherever the same may occur in the state, and to prosecute or cause to be prosecuted any person or persons violating the laws of the state in regard to adulteration of turpentine or classing, marking and branding rosin. The supervising inspector shall also perform such other duties as may be con- ferred upon him by law, but he shall not perform the duties of an inspector of na- val stores except when necessary to deter- mine the correctness of any inspection by a sub-inspector. The supervising inspector of naval stores shall receive for his services the sum of $2,000 annually from the state of Mis- sissippi, and shall not enter or engage in any other business or employment dur- ing the term of his office, and shall be sub- ject to removal at any time by the Gov- ernor for malfeasance in office. Section 3. That after the passage and approval of this act it shall not be lawful for any person other than a licensed in- spector to gauge or measure spirits of turpentine, or class grade and inspect rosin offered for sale in the state of Mis- sissippi. It shall be the duty of the governor to appoint-in addition to the supervising in- spector already provided for in this act- a sufficient number of naval stores in- spectors, to be known as "sub-inspectors," who shall class, gauge, grade and inspect all naval stores, turpentine and rosin sold in the state. Any corporation or firm, or individual engaged in buying or selling or handling naval stores in Msisissippi shall have the right to employ at their expense an in- spector to handle turpentine and rosin bought or sold by them in the State, but said inspector must be one duly licensed by the Governor. Said sub-inspectors must be of good character, etc. The sub-inspectors, while appointed by the Governor and while ipso facto State officials, are not to be salaried by the State of Mississippi, but are in all cases to be paid by the corporation, firm or individual using their services.

All spirits of turpentine sold or offered for sale in this State, or shipped or con- signed to any point out of the State, must be pure spirits of turpentine and free of adulteration. And it is hereby provided that all packages, barrels, tanks or other receptacles in which spirits of turpentine shall be placed for sale or shipment must be branded in plain letters "Pure Spirits of Turpentine." That all wood turpentine or wood spirits shall be branded as such plainly on the barrel, tank or receptacle in which it is placed for sale or shipment at the place of manufacture. Be it further enacted that any person or persons adulterating pure spirits of turpentine, intended for shipment, whether for themselves or for others, with kerosene oil, gasoline, or other products of petro- leum, or with wood spirits, or any liquid chemicals or any foreign substance what- ever with intent to defraud shall be guilty of a misdemeanor (prescribed by the Code of Mississippi.) Any person or persons failing to.brand or cause to be branded the barrel, tank or other receptacles in which either pure spirits of turpentine or wood spirits shall be placed for sale or shipment, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by fine or imprisonment, or by both at, the discretion of the court. Section 10. Be it further enacted that any corporation, firm, person or persons in the State of Mississippi who may be found with adulterated spirits of turpen- tine in their possession shall forfeit the same to the State of Mississippi. Upon sworn information thereof from any per- son it shall be the duty of the Supervis- ing Inspector of the State to investigate every such case, and if any fraud or adul- teration is found he shall then turn over the same to the State's Attorney for the judicial circuit in which such adulterated turpentine, subject -to the forfeiture under this section, may be found, to proceed forthwith to have the same forfeited and sold in the following manner: He shall file with the Circuit Court of the jurisdiction in which said property is found, information in the name of the State of Mississippi, setting forth the property whereof forfeiture is claimed, the owner thereof, or the person in whose pos- session the same is found, and the grounds of forfeiture. Upon filing of such informa- tion (a copy of which with process at- tached), a writ of attachment with a copy of said information attached, shall be thereupon issued without bond or affida- vit, returnable to the next term of the Cir- cuit Court where such information is filed, but if such Circuit Court shall sit within fifteen days next after issuing such at- tachment, it shall be made returnable to the next term of the Circuit Court there- atter, etc. Section 11. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that the supervising inspector of naval stores, or any other in- spector of naval stores, in Missippi, if he shall have reason to believe that any spirits of turpentine has been or is adul- terated in any manner, shall have the right to enter the place where the same is stored, or kept. and to open any barrel or barrels in which the same may be, and to take therefrom a sufficient quantity, not ex- ceeding a pint, from every barrel, as a sample for analysis and inspection. Fach such sample shall be sealed by the super- vising inspector of naval stores taking the same, who shall at the time, write, mark or label the same in such manner as to indicate the time and place of taking the same and the ownership of the barrel or A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE.

It is the most assurab'e thing with which to utilize our vast acreage of surplus lands. "If its cultivation is pushed with the usual skill and energy of our American enterprise there is no reason to believe that it will not be many years before the pecan will become not only an abundant nut in our market, but also an important article of export."- Extract from "Nat Culture In the U.

The owner, claimant or custodian of such spir- its of turpentine shall have the right to be present, if he desires, in person or by agent, at such sampling, and to demand and re- ceive of such supervising inspector of na- val stores a sample in all respects like that taken by such supervising inspector of naval stores. The analysis of any such sample so -taken by such inspector or sup- ervising inspector, sworn to by witnesses competent to make such analysis, shall be admissible in evidence in any action where- in th e grade or quality of the original from which the sample shall have been taken shall be an issue. A certificate of the re- sult of the analysis made and certified to by the State chemist or assistant chemist shall be prima facie evidence of the na- ture, composition and character of the con- tents of the barrel from which such sample was taken, and of the correctness of such analysis, and for such purpose admissible in evidence in any court of this State. That upon receipt of reports from the sub-inspectors the state supervising in- spector of naval stores shall proceed to collect from the producers and manufac- turers for whom the work is done a State tax or fee of one cent per barrel for each barrel of turpentine guaged or measured, whether in barrels, or tanks, and one- half (y,) cent per barrel for each barrel of rosin graded or inspected under the pro- visions of this Act. The term "barrel," as applied to spirits of turpentine, shall be understood -to cover a quantity not ex- ceeding fifty gallons average, and the term "barrel," as applied to rosin, shall be con- strued to mean "round barrels," and not the "gauge barrel" or "market barrel" of 280 pounds. The inspection fee or tax of one cent per barrel on turpentine and one-half cent per barrel on Rosin hereby provided for shall be collectible the same as other taxes imposed by the State of Mississippi and the same penalties are hereby imposed on producers evading or failing to pay said tax as are provided for evasion or non-payment of other taxes required by law in this State. Section 14. Be it further enacted that after the passage and approval of this Act a license or occupation tax of $250 per year shall be imposed on each and every corporation, firm or individual engaged in buying naval stores, turpentine and rosin wholesale (or in large quantities) in the State of Mississippi, such license or tax to be payable direct to the treasurer of the State. And should dany corporation, firm or individual owing and liable for such license or tax fail to pay same or be in default for more than sixty days, then a fine of $100 shall be imposed by the treasurer for such delinquency for each month said corporation, firm or individual, if any, shall continue in default. Section 16. That after the passage and approval of this Act, all inspection, grading and classing of Rosin, and branding or marking the quality of rosin in this State shall be according to Standard Rosin Types recognized under present conditions in the naval stores trade as New York Standard Rosin Types. Upon complaint from any producer of naval stores in the State that the rosin types in use by any sub-inspector are un- fair, improper and unsatisfactory, the State supervising inspector shall investi- gate promptly the nature of such com- plaint and examine the samples complained of, and if said complaint, if any, is ascer- tained to be well founded and the samples are discovered to be improper and irregu- lar, then the State Inspector shall require the sub-inspector to use proper samples, as provided for in this section of the Act, and shall furthermore caution and warn tle sub-inspector to use at all times the right and correct rosin types. Section 18. It is further enacted that any violation of any of the provisions of this Act by any naval stores producers, or buyer or dealer or inspector, shall con- stitute a misdemeanor, except where, under the terms of any particular section of the Act, special penalties or punishments are specifically set forth. Section 19. That this Act shall go into effect immediately after its approval by the Governor. CELERY BRINGS BIG RETURNS. Half Million Dollars from a Hundred Acres at Sanford. Sufficient progress has been made in the marketing of the vegetable crop grown at Sanford to enable those who are handling the same to a large extent to estimate the volume of the production, and also its value. It is judged that about one-half of the celery crop has gone to the North- ern markets; other crops of less import- ance will continue to move until the first of June. Those who have reason to know say that the entire crop from first to last will amount to over two hundred car loads, and that the total value will reach a quar- ter of a million dollars, and this, too, pro- duced on less than one hundred acres. This includes in many instances three crops per annum. Undoubtedly no similar results can be shown from a like area from any portion of the United States. Mr. Stenstrom, a perfectly reliable gen- tleman, gives the information that he cut and sold 1,400 crates of celery from one acre of ground, receiving therefore about $3,000. T. J. Miller estimates that he will cut about two hundred crates of celery from less than one-quarter of an acre, in fact, only a little over an eighth of an acre, which he has sold for $420. Many other instances might be mentioned of these wonderful and unparalleled crops, and a remarkable fact is, that is worthy of note, that no failures are known or have been reported. The prospects are that at least fifty per cent more ground will be opened up this coming season. BROWARD'S DREDGE LAUNCHED. At Fort Lauderdale. It Will Soon Be Ready for Beginning Work. The dredge under construction at Fort Lauderdale for the State, and to be used in digging a canal to drain the Everglades, as proposed by Governor Broward and the State Drainage Commission, was success- fully launched on Monday, and will at once be fitted with the machinery, all of which is on hand, and the craft made ready to begin dredging operations within a month. Governor Broward and State Chemist Rose were present at the launching which occurred about noon, and was successful in every respect. The hull of the dredge is 50x112 feet in size, and it is said the machinery to be installed will have a greater capacity than any similar dredge ever constructed in the State. Governor Broward will come down again and be present when the craft is put to work on the project which is just now agitating and interesting the State. WILL TRY ITALIAN LABOR. The Dowling Mill, at East Park, Imported Two Carloads this Week. Tuesday two carloads of Italian labor- ers, numbering 54, arrived at Live Oak over the Coast Line and immediately left for East Park, where they will be employed in Dowling's mill. The unreliability of colored help seems to have demanded the importation of for- eign labor, not only there, but elsewhere in the State, and it will not be long before colored help will be eternally done away with on public work unless the negroes change their methods. This is to be re- gretted, of course, but it cannot be helped. White men will meet with the same fate when they refuse to work or show no disposition to work in the interests of their employers.

Washington, March 23, 1906. Representative Lacey, of Iowa, has in- troduced a bill "to punish the cutting, cetpping or boxing of trees on the public lands." The measure is designed to pre- vent the gathering of turpentine or other gums from trees or. the public domain and is a more comprehensive measure than that which has been pending for several past Congresses. The bill originally intro- duced in the lty-seventh Congress and referred to from time to time in this cor- respondence, was limited in its prohibition to lands set apart by the government be- cause of the timber thereon available for shipbuilding purposes. Mr. Lacey's bill, however, covers all the public domain and is a specific prohibition in the following terms: "Be it enacted, etc., That every person who shall cut, chip, chop or box any tree on any lands belonging to the United States or on any lands covered by or em- braced in any unperfected settlement, ap- plication, filing, entry, selection or loca- tion, made under any law of the United States, for the purpose of obtaining from such tree any pitch, turpentine or other substance; and every person who shall knowingly encourage, cause, procure or aid any such tree to be so cut, or who shall buy, trade for or in any manner acquire any pitch, turpentine or other substance, or any article or commodity made from any pitch, turpentine or other substance, when he has knowledge that the same has been so unlawfully obtained from such trees, shall upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars or by imprisonment not exceeding twelve months, or by bpth such fine and imprisonment." It is understood that the Committee on Public Lands will give a hearing on this measure, as at least one of its features seems likely to cause embarrassment to the legitimate turpentine trade. It will be noted that the bill provides penalties, in- eluding both fine and imprisonment, for any person buying pitch, turpentine or other substance "when he has knowledge that the same has been so unlawfully ob- tained from such trees, etc." The trade does not object to the punish- ment of any person guilty of purchasing what might be called stolen property, but it seems to be generally desired that this feature of the bill shall be rendered more specific with respect to the knowledge of the purchaser as to the origin of the tur- pentine. It is conceivable, it is contended, that a purchaser might know that the turpentine bought by him had been taken on government land, but at the same time might assume that the party gathering it had permission to do so. In such a case it might be held that the purchaser knew the source of the turpentine and therefore must have known that it was "unlawfully obtained." Mr. Lacey is inclined to think that the bill is sufficiently specific in its 4 present form, and it is understood that it has the approval of the General Land Of- * fice. It is possible, however, that it may eI modified before being reported.-Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter, New York. Ocoee is quite an orange and trucking Ocoee a Prosperous Section.

Tampa's cigar shipments, up to March 24, showed an increase over the same pe- riod of last year of over 12,000,000 cigars. One-fourth of the year has passed. At the same rate of increase for the remain- ing three-quarters, the increase for the entire year will be 48,000,000, which will make the total output of clear Havana cigars for this year reach a grand and inspiring total of 273,00,000. It is reas- onable to suppose, however, that the in- crease will be larger than that estimated above, which takes the increase for the first three months of the year as a basis of calculation. The increase is always much larger during the last three months of the year than in any other quarter, that being marked by the great and con- stantly increasing holiday demand. It is not an extravagant prediction to estimate the output of Tampaa cigars this year at close to 3000,000,000-which will make the output of Tampa alone far in excess of that of the entire island of Cuba. Last year, Tampa's cigar product exceeded that of Havana. This year, it should exceed the product of all of Cuba, the native home of the clear Havana eigar.-Tampa Trib- une. RAILROAD RUMORS AT DAYTONA. Road to DeLand Is Almost Assured for the Near ture. Daytona, April 6.-Railroad rumors of all kinds are floating in the air, and spec- ulation on the subject is making much talk on the street corners, in the hotel lobbies or wherever occasion offers opportunity for two or three men to gather discussion. C. S. Rieman's plan, submitted by peti- tion to the Board of County Commission- ers at their last monthly meeting in De- Land, to build a line to operate between Daytona and DeLand, and offering to de- posit a good and sufficient bond guarantee- ing commencement of the work within fifteen days from the time such privilege was granted, came as a surprise to many in our city. Gasoline propelled cars will furnish the motive power of the new line, should Mr. Rieman secure the desired grant from the Board of County Commissioners. In the meantime, the projectors of the Central East Coast road have obtained their charter and are steadily pushing their interests with such corporations as they may be concerned; so, even the "doubting Thomases" concede that Daytona will have another railroad in a matter of two years or less, and it is well with us.

WANT TO RETARD PROGRESS. Just as the attention of the whole of Florida had been attracted to Live Oak ad Columbia county, when the press of the state was pointing with pride to the accomplishments of that section, there comes to the chain of those who believe in progress the report that there are those in that county who re bent on nothing less than a blocking of what the enterpris- ing men at the head of the affair of Su- wannee had set out to do. The building of good roads in that county had offered a great deal of promise in the way of de- velopment. The people were beginning to see the great advantage of this project which the men of enterprise had put forth. But just at this time when there are those who want to butt into politics and when they are looking about for the chances of making grand stand plays, it was hardly to be expected that this commendable and approved scheme should be the object of attack. But the attack has come and it spears to have been cleverly planned by a little fellow who is evidently awaiting to be fed at the public crib. But there is little to be apprehended at this late day by the friends of enterprise and progress in Suwannee. The building of public roads will go right on in that county, and those who are at the head of the great work will see the good results they have achieved long after the knock- ers and demagogues have been forgotten. Suwannee county and Live Oak are going to grow, and some of the stumbling and moss-covered blocks will have to stand by and watch the good work proceed.

Labor questions in China are solved for the laborer by the government, and there are neither strikes nor lockouts, nor have there been any for more than o20 years. The bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers and mechanics of every description are lined up on each side of the public squar and wait with amazing patience until they are wanted. The master builder comes along and places a chalk mark upon those whose ser- vices he requires. They follow him and go to work; no fuse about work or hours; the least sign of discontent and the head of the kicker drop into a basket. The master builder does not, however, have things his own way. There is a fixed rate of wages for each trade, which be must pay, and a certain number of homr defined, above which the employer must not go only by a special permit from the government, which permit will arrange for all overtime being paid for. Once a mae is engaged on a piece of work he reeelves his pay whether he works or not, so long as the work he is engaged upon is not com- pleted. Loss of time by ram or any other unavoidable reason is borne by the owner, not the contractor. Failure to conform to the contract or to pay the workmen ren- ders the contractor liable to be beheaded. The owner, too, is liable to the workmen and to the men who furnish material equal- ly with the contractor. This is certainly a lien law with a vengeance, for in case of failure to pay, the government pays the debts, confiscates the property and chops off the heads of the owner and contractor with no unnecessary delay. The Chinaman has been taught so many thousand years to feel that death is noth- ing that the ceremony of decapitation is not regarded with any fear by the victim nor with special horror by the friends. They have no time for the long drawn out proceedings of the courts of justice in Christian countries, since their numbers are millions and court proceedings would increase crime and leave no time for work.

During the last year a new industry has been introduced into China. They are ex- porting coolies to the Transvaal as laborers in the gold mines. For many reasons it became necessary to recruit from some outside source, and the Chinese are quiet, sober, hard workers, not given to dissipa- tion, economical and anxious to save their wages), always with a hope of returning to China. As competitors in the labor mar- kets of the world they are feared for their virtues as laborers far more than for their vices. The profit to the South African Mining Company in employing Chinese labor will consist in the greater capacity for work in the individual and the increased security of the mine owner against unexpected shortage. The business of collecting cool- S ies for the Traasvaal is conducted by con- tractors, who pay al cost of collecting them, suppling food and transportation to the plase c delivery, and for each coolie dird to the place of. embarkation the contrster resolves a fixed -m Each coolie igs a easo act and special C -ms, clerks aroja - by the government d explain to-as man every clause 4( C* contract s- b knows where heisa oiS The .kiu h is slow, s whi. the 'eho i for the 11rt me sla. i Mie s ia all he w~902 -'p er .a h ai B t loo-= bw eo k oit b. b'. * The day befoe -thy ar shipped Tramaal they are taken in lots o te prOtetr and estioed: Where are you gong?

It is most difficult for the idea to be given them that they can have any mind of heir own without some awful pihment, and the most difficult part of the protetorates job i to make them see that they are re- laed if they regret the attempt to de- part Only about one in two hundred leave at this point. After the protetorate is through with them they are put into a tank, washed and dressed in new, clan clothes, shoes, belts, socks, straw hats and they reappear in dar kblue uniforms, and the only vestige of Chinese in their make- up is the Chinese characters on their coats: "Nan Fei Li Kung" (tagged, washed and paid.) He is paid $38 (Mexican), two months' pay and $8 bonus. Few of them ever possessed a dollar before. Another chance is given him to retreat, but no one has ever been known to go back at this stage. There is no pathos in the scene when he says good-bye to the home folks. Before going on the steamer he is given a bag containing a full winter out of cloth- ing, a blanket, a tin cup, a small bamboo pillow, with folding legs, to serve as a seat by day. The number allowed on the transports is prescribed. The number shipped from all part of China it about 50,000, and the proceeding is attended with no small expense in fol- lowing the detail required by the Chinese government. No provision is made for the importation of Chinese clerLs and interpre- ;ia, and the eonsul-general's report, from whiei some of these notes are taken, leaves the coolie on the transport. ao one fol- jp jitbhe poor fellow to the mines where the South African mining companies get bekAheir money.

It seems probable that China is to take her place among the nations of the world, entering by the same avenue that other nations have. China is organizing an army of a million men or more, whose leaders are under the direction of English and American officers, and they hold prom- ise of being taught to go into active ser- vice without an umbrella over their heads, which in the conflict with the Japs they insisted upon doing.-Modern Machinery.

The Fort Pierce News in its issue of last Friday, contains the following: "The people of this section have been anxiously awaiting some movement on the part of the land departments of the rail- road and canl, toward the deepening and proper completion of the drainage canal, trom the Indian River to the prairie coun- try west of town. When this work was begun over a year ago, it was hoped it would be successful in disposing of the superfluous water in the back country and would enable the owners of property in that section to proceed with its develop- ment. "The work was not done satisfactorily, as the fall was not sufficient to carry off the water with any degree of rapidity, and it was not deep enough to drain the vast prairie, which is very fertile, and would produce the finest kind of vegeta- bles, potatoes, etc., if properly drained. The land department of the Florida East Coast Railway Company now proposes to increase the depth of the canal several feet, so the bottom will be at least three feet below the level of the prairie, and make a gradual fall, all the way down to the edge of town, where there is a dis- tinct drop and at present a decided rapids in the little stream. "To those who have watched the effect of the work already don there is no doubt but that this canal can be made to do the work of draining the country west of Fort Pierce, provided the remainder of the work is properly dome. Civil Engineer New- lander has run the levels twice and made a profile of the canal, and he says there is ample fall to carry off any amount of water, except occasionally when there is a big continued rain, and then it will only remain for a few days. On his visit here last week he was anxious to let the con- tract for deepening the canal to some local parties and it i likely that this ill be done. Mule teams, with plows and scrap- ers, could possibly be used with good effect, the dirt being taken out every ten rods. It cannot be done by hand, as before, as the dirt will have to be thrown too high. A small dredge was proposed, but the width at the bottom would almost preclude this, as the dredge would be too small to sustain an arm long enough to swing the dirt over the present high banks. "It is to be hoped that some method will be devised and that the work will be- gin soon and be completed before mid-sum- mer. Nothing will do this section more good than the completion of this drainage canal, in a manner that will satisfactorily accomplish what it was originally designed to do." To Erect Fertilizer Plant. The Jefferson Fertilizer Co., of Birming- ham, Ala., reported last week as incorpo- rating with a capital stock of $250,000, will erect a fertilizer plant to cost $150,- 000.

THE WEEKLY INDUSTRIAL RECORD. 1' Jacksonville Will Have Another Important Street Car Line. Jacksonville is to have a new street car line and when the County Commissioners at their regular monthly meeting this week granted the right of way, the first ntep towards the building of the line was taken. Mr. George W. Clark, the owner of Pan- ama Park, and other prominent business men who have associated themselves with him, will build the road. The new line will extend from the intersection of Main street and the city limits, run along Main street to Lawton avenue at Panama Park, then east on Lawton avenue to Buffalo avenue, to Virginia street, then to Cum- mer's road and thence south along this road to Talleyrand avenue, to the city limits. The value of such a road, both for pleas- ure and convenience, can hardly be over- estimated. This the County Commission- era realized, and, after the formal petition for the right of way had been presented, granted the request of Mr. Clark, after only a short discussion. Mr. Clark thanked the Board for its ac- tion and announced later that work on the line would be started as soon as certain details had been rounded out. Mr. Clark's Petition. The petition of Mr. Clark for the right of way as presented to the Commissioners, reads as follows: "To the Board of County Commissioners: "Gentlemen-Your petitioner, George W. Clark, for himself and associates, respect- fully represents to your honorable body that they are desirous of forming a com- pany for the purpose of erecting, operat- ing and maintaining a car line, to be pro- pelled by electricity, steam or other motive power, for the carrying of freight, or pas- sengers, or both, along, over, and upon the following roads or highways within the limits of Duval county: "Extending from the intersection of the city limits and Main Street, thence along Main Street to Lawton avenue, at Panama Park, thence easterly on Lawton avenue to Buffalo avenue, to Virginia street, to the county road, commonly known as the Cum- mer road, and thence south along the said road to Talleyrand avenue, to the city limits. The Right of Way. 'That the said car line should be of great service, convenience and accomoda- tion to all the residents lying along the proposed road. or contiguous thereto, and your petitioner respectfully requests your honorable Ibdy to grant him a and his asso- ciates a right of way over the above county roads, or highways, and to use them for the construction, operation and mainte- nance of the said car line. "And the right of way and the privilege to place poles along the said highway, on either side thereof, for the purpose of springing wires and such other appliances as may be necessary for the operation of the said road. "Respectfully, George W. Clark." The petition was granted on the condi- tions that nothing was done to obstruct the said roads, or highways, or to inter- fere with their use by the public. The car line must be placed on one side of the road only, as is the present car line to phoenix Park. NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO APPLY FOR REMOVAL OF DISABILITIES. Notice is hereby given that Lizzette G. Robinson, of Duval County, Florida, in- tends to apply to the Honorable R. M.

Flrida Sponge Situation Referred to by New York Paper. The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter, of New York, comments as follows on the Florida sponge situation: The Turkish government's action in closing the Mediterranean beds has caused a large number of the Greek fishermen to invade our Florida waters, where they have succeeded in making some very large catches. The Florida State Legislature has been appealed to in the matter, and it is hoped that this may result in the clos- ing of the Florida fisheries for a season, as it is believed that the beds there will soon be depleted if unrestricted gather- ing of sponge by the Greek fishermen con- tinues, and largely destroyed, as has been the case in Mediterranean waters, unless prompt action is taken by the government. A drop in the Florida market has taken place since the arrival of the Greeks, some 500 in number, who are intent on exploit- ing the deeper waters of the Gulf in quest of the Valuable Rock Island sheepswool sponge. The Greeks continue the old world method of diving in regulation div- ing suits, as accustomed to do in the Med- iterranean Sea, and have met with remark- able success so far in Florida waters. One craft on a twenty-one days' trip gath- ered twelve hundred bunches, or about six thousand dollars' worth of sponge. The old Florida sponge hookers are naturally very much alarmed over the influx of so many Greek fishermen, and some express tue opinion that a serious clash will occur thi summer if these conditions continue, as the vocation of the Florida fishermen is in jeopardy. Should new beds of sheeps- wool sponge be discovered by the Greek deep-water divers, it will doubtless cause an easier tone to the market and lower prices, while the closing of the Mediter- ranean beds will tend to stiffen the market ________c ~ ~ ~rW1I~~;~T,~~ ~af~i ~ C~3j~~ The Palmer Manufacturing Co. of Charleston, S.
