OPPOSITION is developing to the proposed
bill for appropriations to carry out the
government surveys for irrigation. Ros.
well 2. Flower, of New York, the leader,
takes the ground that there is enough I'M
occupied fertile land in this country and
the question of artificial irrigation should
be left for later generations. 1t is not the
spirit of the American nation to take
much stock in later generations. We
think We can pay our national debt with
out the help OF our grandchildren, and on
the same principle we propose to take
possession of our unused and unoccupied
lands and get some benefit out of them
while we live. That is the way the great
southwest feels on the subject, and We
think it will be strong enough, SO that
congress will heed its feelings and wishes.

FOLLOWING up the recommendation Of
the government board of engineers that a
deep water harbor be established at Gal
weston, Senator Coke, of Texas, has in
troduced bill in congress asking an ap-
preparation of $6,2OO,00O to be expended
for this purpose. 1t is estimated that this
amount will provide the gulf coast with a
first class harbor with thirty feet Of water
at mean low tide. Texas, Missouri, Kan
sas, Arkansas, Colorado and Iowa will
stand pat for this measure and it will I'M
doubtedly pass. In The meantime private
capital is going into harbors at the mouth
of the Brazos river and at Arkansas pass.
New Mexico will profit largely by these
enterprises when direct railway connec-
ton is had with the gulf and this does
not now seem a long way off.

The appointment of John R..
Lynch by the administration
strikes US as rather peculiar, Mis-
sissippi so hopelessly Democratic,
that even the recent ticket made
by auditor Lynch and placed in
the field in that State has been
withdrawn. To demonstrate to the
President that he was a power in
a State and cannot give a single
electoral republican vote, he, over
the protests of ADLER and more
farseelng leaders of our race in
that State to the contrary insisted
upon the placing a State ticket in
the field, it was done and be has

not be forgotten, it has been repa

DINSMORE!

One of the growing towns of the
South, is situated on oOLn sides of
savan ah, Florida q Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 70 IL nigh, dry
and level, and successful hOrti-
cultural and truck-growing section
Of the State. DinsmOre can %
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water rOute, or by an
hour and a half drive over an excel-
lent plank and shell road.
DinsmOre is not one Of the isoIs-
ted spots that is only laid ont on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself 70
capitalist and labOrer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their cwn interests s ST. S $40. tie Tie welfare
of their children, to these who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The Sland can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures a poor man can make regu.
lar payments on a valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act
ually thrown away. II is an in
vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
manys times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, $65, $50, S35. Sec
Ond choice, $25 $18. Third choice
SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, IS. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre LOTS
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adjacent to
DinsmOre, containing from FIVE to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at S. acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State of
Florida to the Railroad and from
theRailrOad to you.
Truck farming around DinsmOre
would be at the door of two of the
grea-. t markets in the South. Let
everSS poor man If with but one
dollar, commence to buy lot in
DinsmOre. The fare from Jackson
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains PEI day and
the round trip will only cost TWEEN
ty-five cents. Trout creek, large
streams passes right through the
vicinity, thus affOTding pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
10 not let this grand opportunity
lip you. = 1t is the very best chance
sou will have to secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in DinsmOre arc
enjoying a gOoN t>ade and the

mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, an laborers who
desire work c9n get SrOm a dollar
