Tie RAINFALL PRoRLEM.-It is by no means
settled that forests increase rainfall is quite gen.
orally believed. From an analysis of many series
OF observations recorded i'm New England and on
the western prairies-regions which have under
gone radical changes in respect to their forest
ering-M Henry Gannett has reached the con-
clusiOn that wooded areas have no influence on
rainfall, though they produce, Notwithstanding,
important economic effects They act as reservoirs
TO keep back the rain from the rivers preventing
floods, but Also much water is evaporated from
the leaves without reaching the earth permanently
diminishing the flow of the streams that irrigate
arid valleys They also reduce the extremes of
temperature, act wind breaks, and otherwise
serve useful purposes.

The plan of utilizing the suns energy by means
of thermopie placed in the focus of mirror

wish trouble or sorrow to fall upon even
their supposed enemies. Human life IL

FOOT BALL MATCH.
An Interesting Game Between Two Rival

An Interesting Game Between Two Rival
Teams
This match was played ON the 2sth

met an immense number Of English
residents from all over the State, drawn
together by their interest in that game of
All manly games-football.
Seldom has a town in Florida seen
such a gathering. II was not until the
afternoon train that the last batch AR
rived, among them a representative for
the North from Fruitland Park. Mr.. w.
III. Dunn.
At 3:i6 p. m, a very large and inter
ested crowd having assembled. the ball
was kicked of from half way by Mr.. NJ.
II. Peacock, the captain of the Northern
team. 1t was quickly returned by the
South and scrimmaged well in the
Northern territory.
For some time the North held their
own, but want of training soon told.
They fought manfully and the game be.
ing very fast. much credit In due to the
plucky play OF the forwards ON both
sides. A judicious pass on the part OF
the South to Last resulted after a splen-
dad run in a try for the South which
failed in the attempt at a goal. Fast
forward play and continual scrimmag-
ing was now the order of the day but
the superior system and training Of the
Southern team told too much against
the North, and the ball was again work
ed over their line. Up TO half time the
play was a repetition of the above. After
lemons and breathing time the ball was
again put i'm play by Mr.. Davidson,
who captained the South, but the
North were unable to score dur
ing this half. though some
good rushes were made and good
back play shown. All played their level
best. The running and passing of Mr..
Last, an old international player, was
very fine; and for the North the brothers
Peacock, Of Piccolata, and a representa-
tive from Fruitiand Park among the for
wards, did good work.
In the evening il was unanimously
agreed to play return match somewhere
in the North on the 3ist of January.
Messrs. w. v. Wylie, of Oakland, Or
ange County, w. ii. Dunn, OF FruitIand
Park, and J. Russell Kennedy, of We
laka, were appointed TO select the place
and players for that date. Amy Of these
gentlemen will be glad TO receive names

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION


In Regard 10 the oIspstsd Boundary Of Tsnas and
Indian Territory.
WASHINGTON, January 3.-The Presi-
dent has issued the following prociama-
ton:
Whereas the title to all that territory
lying between the north and south forks
of Red River, and the hundredth degree
Of longitude and the jurisdiction over
the same are vested in the United States,
it being a part of the Indian Territory,
al shown by surveys and investigation
made on behalf Of the United States.
which territory the State of Texas also
claims title to and jurisdiction over; and
whereas said conflicting claim grows out
Of a controversy existing between the
United States and the State Of Texas as
to the point where the hundredth degree
of longitude crosses Red River, as de-
1919, between the United States
and Spain, fixing the boundary
line between the two countries, and
whereas the commissioners appointed
on the part of the United States, under
act of January 81, 1885, authorizing the
appointment of q commission by the
President to run and mark the boundary
lines between that portion Of the Indian
Territory and the State of Texas, in con-
nection with a similar commission 20 he
appointed by the State of Texas, have,
by their report determined that the south
fork is the true Red River designated in
the treaty; the commissioners appointed
on the part of the said State refusing to
concur in said report, now, therefore, i,
Grover Cleveland, President of the
United States, do hereby admonish and
warn all persons, whether claiming to
act as officers Of the County of Gre<r, in
the State OF Texas, or otherwise, against
selling or disposing of, or attempting to
sell or dispose of, any of said lands, or
from exercising or attempting to exer-
else any authority over said lands.
And I also warn and admonish all per-
sons against purchasing any part of said
territory from any person or persons
whomsoever.
