n San Antonio Party OF Explorers
Slowly Starving While Their
Mules are Fattening.
A letter was received yesterday
from Messrs. 81. G. A. Torrey and a
party of Dullnig's clerks, who left
by wagon last Sunday for an over
land trip to the head waters OF the
Guadalupe above Kerrville to
spend a month in fishing and
shooting. The letter stated that
on account Of Torrey's great weight
the wagon had begged in the mud
near Kerrville and as IL was too
muddy to get to that town there
was no help for it for some time.
They had been compelled to live
solely on canned food all the way
on their trip, as it had rained on
them since leaving San Antonio,
and as camp wood was too wet to
burn they could not do any cooking.
On account of this fare and the alb
sence OF Scholz's usual warm lunch,
Mr.. Torrey's fine bay window was
rapidly decreasing in size and he
had already taken up his yellow
belt four notches.
A postscript added states that
their mule. team was fat and we'll,
on account Of plenty of grass and
water on the way.

he saw condemned brick being put
into the sewer on this street.
Assistant Engineer Trueheart
testified that Kampmann brick
had been used. Some bad brick
had been sent to the sew
or work, and he had con-
demned them, and they were
culled out and thrown aside. He
had allowed the best brick to be
used. Kuefner had refused to Gull
the brick on the ground, claiming
1t was not among his duties. /,
was his business to see that no bad
brick were used.
Henry Grandjesn also testified
as to seeing condemned brick put
in the sewer on that street.
Kuefner had told him that he had
been compelled by his superior to
let them go in. Mr.. w. NJ. Locke
had also told him that the brick
We're unfit for use.
w. r. Hines testified that he
twas interested with the contractor
in the sewer work" Some brick that
had lain on the ground since May
had been condemned by Mr.. True
heart, but Engineer Pancoast haC
allowed them to be used in the bot
tom ring Of the inverts and in thu
arches and Kuefner had ordered
the brick to be cleaned. Mr.. Hinel
would not swear that condemned
brick had been used while he wa
present at the work, which was no
all day.

WHAT THEY WILL Do.

good friend of Florida. but non
resident, who owns some property IN the
State, writes to know eff Floridians, and
especially the orange growers have
found out where they are at?" He also
wants to know if the State is going to
take the die back and the people starve
or leave the country. Well, hardly.
Floridians are made of tougher metal.
We do not believe, as our friend appears
to intimate, that 1.-THE orange business is
done for" 1t has received a terrible set
back and the development of the State
has been retarded as a consequence;
millions of money have been lost in the
business and many growers ruined
financially, at the same time oranges
will still be cultivated, and we believe
those who cultivate them will make
money, for the reason, and this must be
admitted, that for many years the
production will be limited
We may never have another freeze in
Florida that will work such great injury
to the orange trees. 1t is true that we
may have them, but this is chance
that must be taken, and the fact that
many have not the nerve to take the
chances will make it ust~~thaU much
better for those who have We are of
the opinion that many of the young
groves killed by the freeze will be
abandoned, and that new groves will
not be planted to any great extent in
the northern portion of South Florida
for several years, or until the people
have forgotten, in measure, the freezes
of l894-95. This will naturally limit
the production and cause those who
produce the fruit to obtain better prices

In President Fairbanks address he
said that the orange growers had over
come many iculties-drouths and
floods, insects and gluts we have fought
and In measure conquered; freezes and
billiards were as yet uncouquered, and
10 him 1t seemed that the question was
narrowed down to the consideration of
the average risk of such calamties.
Florida, he said, had been settled for
$50 years. When it was first occupied
the sweet or China orange had but lately
been introduced into countries border
ing on the Mediterranean. We know
that there were sweet orange trees bear
ing fruit in St. Austine 200 years ago.
We also know that COLI winters have
from time to time destroyed the fruit
and injured the trees in Italy and Spain,
but that those countries still produce
increasing crops of oranges and lemons
In concluding his address President
Fairbanks said that he believed the crop
Of 1896 would be as large as that of 1885

Be Not Discouraged.

Never before In the history of the State
has there been such tremendous yield
of vegetables as has been produced this
year. and prices never lower. The cause
is quite apparent. After the orange
crop was lost, every man who could DOS
sibly obtain an acre of ground planted
something and the result was that more
truck was raised, out of season owing,
to the late freeze than could be marketed
profitably. If the express companies
had displayed that magnanimity which
was expected by the growers when they
planted their crops, by reducing express
charges in conformity with the times,
both the express companies and the
growers would have reaped richer har-
vest. Good prices did not last but short
time and when the shippers began to
lose they ceased shipping, consequently
thousands of bushels of vegetables rotted
in the fields Now if there had been a
sufficient number of canning factories
scattered throughout the State, large
per cent of the crop would have been
saved, and the necessity of obtaining
canning esta blishments cannot be over
estimated. Our people were not pre-
pared for the terrible shock they received
by the freezes Of last winter. They were
almost paralyzed, but it did not take
them long to rally. and trucking in Flor
ida was begun in earnest.
More skill will be exercised in plant
ing the next crops, and it is safe to pre-
dict that, aided by this years experience
and an indomitable will, our truckers
will recover their lost fortunes with the
crops of 1896.
Harken not unto the calamity bowler
he is a pestiferous humbug, a wart on
the nose Of prosperity and a. freckle on
the face of the universe. Florida has,
is now. and will always be the grandest
and fairest state in the Union, Be not
discouraged, for there is written on the
horizon of our future, in letters of gold,
prosperity. Florida Farm and Fire

FRUIT EXCHANGE HOPEFUL,

At the last meeting of the directors of
the Florida Fruit Exchange, which was
held in jacksonville on the 18th inst, a
most hopeful feeling was manifested,
which is encouraging. At one time it
was reported that the exchange would
be dissolved and go out of business Oh
account of the absence of fruit for the
next succeeding few years. This report
it appears was without foundation. This
question was discussed at some length
at the meeting of the directors and a
resolution was introduced and unani.

The recent freeze seemed to have given
the pineapple industry a boom rather than q
set back The Biscayne country which
promises soon to be opened up by the extension
of the East Coast Line will bring into a vast

likely that the present pineapple yield OF the
State will be increased hundred fold during

Florida is by no means in state of
Starvation. We have other resources
resources that have heretofore received
no attention for the reason that our peo-
ole thought that oranges were good
enough for them and devoted their en-
tire time and attention to this single
product. We think that Florida would
not be dead State if the orange bust
ness was entirely abandoned, but its
prosperity would be much diminished
until our people had other industries
fully established. Orange culture will
be the leading industry of South Florida
Notwithstanding the backset it has re-
ceived, but the people of this section,
and the orange growers will hereafter
not place their entire dependence in Or
anges, they will cultivate the soil and
grow other crops. This will be great
thing for the orange region. Heretofore
when the orange crops brought in
thousands of dollars to the growers the
money did not remain long in their pos
session or in the country; it was sent
abroad for meat, grain, hay and even
vegetables. This detracted much from
the country's prosperity, for it mattered
not what the product of the orange
grove brought the owner large percent
age of it was sent out of the country for
the purchase of supplies which from
now on will be produced here.
We are not of that optimistic class
which claims that the freeze was
blessing to the orange growers of the
State; we have been unable after trying
very hard for many months to look on
it in that light, and we must say that it
is our opinion that the man who claims
that it was blessing is talking through
his hat" But while not blessing by
any means it has taught the people of
South Florida lesson, and we are glad
to know that they have the good sense
and intelligence to profit by the lesson.
They have already turned their hands to
other crops than the orange. In almost
every section of the orange growing
regions broad acres can now be seen
upon which are growing crops it was
thought impossible to grow few years
ago. These crops will not make the
growers millionaires by any means, but
they will help to fill mouths that would
otherwise be hungry. Had they grown
these crops while they were making
their orange groves and while their
groves were bearing tLey would have
been in better condition to withstand
the hard times caused by the -oss of
crop AMI the injury to groves. However,
the lesson has been learned, and by the
time the groves commence to bear again
the growers will not be dependent upon
them for livelihood. Other resources
of the country will have been developed;
our people will understand better the
conditions and requirements of the
soil; they will know what to plant, how
to plant and when to plant. They will
be able to make living independent of
the orange grove.
