Editor rALNrKA NEWS:
No testimony is more conclusive than
that one inadvertently bears against
himself. 1t Is often asserted that irriga-
tion III California costs no more than fer
tiIzers in Florida. Now, l wish to give
a little testimony. | find in the River
side Press dld Horticui'uriSt. that that
truthful paperCJ has thuughtiessly
given against this assertion. Ii quotes
from the San Francisco chronicle, from
an article written To show the iuIntens.
wealth Of Southern California. This
wealth is all comprised IN its immense
amount of water. in san Diego the
amount of water clalmed by these fill
ings reaches the enormous volume of
over 300, 600 inches. In Kern there
have been /, lGO ISL inches flied upon: IN
Los Angeles, 43i, 1888 inches; MERGED,
l,OJi 900 inches, and equally astounding
quantities in other counties" What a
display to a fIoridian, Now as to the
value of this water. Its lowest estimate
is one dollar per inch. II Is often sold rs
high as 50 per inch.
Now. taking the value of 1859 GEL
inches of water at the medium price of
81 per inch, il makes the immense sum
of Si,919,j2S, or ten per cent. on SO, I93,
$50, the value of the water flied upon in
four counties. Eut the article does not
stop here, but estimates the value Of the
water available in San Diego county
alone, and makes it 800, 700, 600 and
adds these figures are staggering, but
are founded on cold facts
The estimated valu" of the water Of
Los Angeles county Is 81 eco, 600, 900.
This IL the value per annum of the water
for irrigation in California, when the
companies get their bitches ana fumes
all running, and have d"luded enough
settlers into their deserts tn buy all their
water. This is called the wealth of their
country. What misnomcr. Why not
cal. il their poverty.
All this must he paid annually by th
inhabitants for the privilege of living on
a desert and raising grapes that sell foI
one cent Il pound, apricotS the same price,
and poor oranges that must be brought
:, 900 miles to market to compete with
the Florida orange From 800 to $500
per acre is the estimate made Of the cost
of irrigation. And the land is worthless
without 1t.
By the boom of speculation the price
of land near Los Angeles has been car
ried up to from 81 600 to Sc, 200 per acre.
Add to this the eXpen." of irrigation.
ar Il one readily sees with what ease q -
poor man can get a st"~t in that Coun
try. All this immense sum must Toe paid
into the pockets of the capitalists who
have (seiZed) filled upon" the waters of
that reg ION which God has given freely
for all. They boast now of this as
the wealth of the country. Ii may be
the wealth of these capita 'stS, but | call
it the poverty of the country.
Let our friends, who sc hearts have
failed because one freeze has done us
serious damage, pause before they de-
eide to throw away their lives on the
deserts of California. These are the
facts as testified to 10y the Press and
HorticuItUyist of August 81. Rustic.

THE FLORIDA SOUTIiERS'S
New Freight Depot Onc OF the
Largest in the south


Largest in the South.
Yesterday the offices and freight OF
the Florida SoutheIn's freight depot
were moved into the immense new
warehouse, just completed on the large
three hundred feet dock north of the
old depot.
The new warehouse Is l20N23O feet in
size, and has track room inside and at
its doors for twenty eight freight cars
ut a time, making it the most convenient
as we'll as the largest freight warehouse
in Florida, or perhaps in the south. 1t
is an immense affair, and Is capable of
holding almost any quantity of freight
that will arrive here for distribution
throughout South Florida. Surrounding
the warehouse is ample wharf room,
from 30 To 40 feet on either side, 50 tina.
there is no want for plenty of room.
Just north of this building "a long pas
senger shed will be erected, with bag
gage and waiting rooms convenient, and
the steamers ana schoOners bringing
freight and passengers can land on either
side or in front of the buildings. The
little steamer Crescent City was the first
to land at the new docks yesterday,
and the Dietary boats landed there last
night.
The Office is handsomely finished and
located ia the northeast corner of
the building, where it is as cool and
pleasant rs nny place that can be found
in the city.
Other improvements Will follow close
after these, and We will probably get
some of the particulars this week

]. HARKINS HILLIARD, ESQ, State Agent
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York:
DEAR SIR-I desire, through you, to
thank the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York for the prOmptness
with which they paid over to me the
sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, that be
ing the amount for which the life of my
late husband, John n. Strous, WAS in
sured in your company. Though only
insured for the short space of eight
months. they paid the entire sum before
the expiration of sixty days. which is
seldom done. L cannot find words to
express my feelings of gratitude to you
for inducing my husband to take out IA
policy, thereby providing for myself, hIs
aged mother, and four little children.
| hope you may succeed in persuading
every married man in taking policy,
SO that if it should please Providence to
call the father and husband, he could
die easier. knowing he was not leaving
his helpless family depending on stran-
gers.
Sincerely wishing the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York all the
success IL deserves, | am yours. most re-
spectfully, MARGARET j. STRoUS.

Use Disiniectants

The sanitary condition of portions of
West Palatka is nothing short of scan
dalOus, and if it does not cause sickness
it will be because the good Lord intends
to visit us with a greater punishment for
our neglect of the common-srnse Laws
of health. Great pools of water are
standing about in places full of rank and
decaying vegetation, and the sinks prove
a nest for all sorts of filth carried from
private premises. Something must be
done to kill the effects that are sure to
follow when these ponds are dried off
by this hot September sun, and as it Is
impossible to drain them disinfectants
will have to be freely used.
Mr.. Chas. Eaton. of the firm of Gard
ner & Eaton, says that if the city will
not buy lime, that he will take pleasure
in giving ten barrels for the purpose.
Others will no doubt be a. liberal, if the
City Council does not see tit TO do any
thing about il. One thing is certain if
something is not lone there is going to
be a great deal Of sickness in that part
of town.
