TIE FLOTILLA GOES.
Lieutenant Kimbalps Interesting Expedition
Says Goodbye to Brunswick.

Says Goodbye to Brunswick.
The torpedo boat flotilla steamed
out of the harbor of Brunswick yes
terday morning at O'Clock. On the
boats were a number of citizens and
naval militia, who accepted the cour-
tesies of Lieutenant Kimball for the
trip to Fernsndina.
Captain W. M. Tupper, on the Du-
pcnt, the flag ship, acted as pilot for
the fiotilla. The boats went by the
inside route, through Jekyl creek, St.
Andrews sound, Cumberland river
and Cumberland sound.
The boats went slowly by Jekyl, and
the officers admired the elegant club
house and cottages of the millionaires'
resort.
Fernandina was reached in due time
and the queer boats attracted much
attention from the people OF that city.
They will proceed to Jacksonville to-
day.
The citizens who went on the flotilla
returned to tho city last night on the
Governor Stafford, Messrs. Raymond
and Tupper extending the courtesies
Of the line to them.
Brunswick will treasure pleasant
memories of the flotilIa and its officers.
They were welcome guests, and were
charmed with the manner in which
they we're entertained.
Before leaving, Lieutenant Kimball
took occasion to personally assure a
representative of The TIMES that he
greatly appreciated the many oour-
tesies that bad been shown him in
Brunswick, and that he wished to
have it plainly understood by
the ] people that he had no dlspleas-
ure to express in regard to
the insignificant difficulties attend
ing his arrival. "That was a minor
matter" said the lieutenant, "and |
have forgotten all about it. The hos
pitaAy and the good fellowship of the
Brunswick people, and the kind at
t~nlions cf the Naval Militia will be
ever treasured among my fondest
memories" -
Lieutenant Kimball stated further
thai the flotilla would again touch at
Brunswick in May or June, on it's re-
turn north from Galveston. Incident
to this second visit, a number of citi-
zens will arrange for the officers a
hunting and fishing expedition to Wolf
island.
The Naval Militia scored another
point In the fact that Quartermaster
Tilton, of the First Division, steered
the flagship Dupont from Brunswick
to Fernandina. The officers compli.
mented Mr.. Tilton on the manner in
which he handled the wheel.
The tlotilla made the trip to Fern.
andina In hours and 81 minutes,
Lieutenant Aiken made the trip on
the Ericsson.

A QuarreIsome Place.

The closing of the Cafe de Madrid,
for a long time a favorite resort for
Partisan men of letters, recalls a couple
of anecdotes: Proth was one day pass
ing the cafe arm in arm with poor Paul
Arene. Arene was going in, and urged
him to do the same. Proth resisted,
saying there were too many quarrels
in that cafe, only people with hot tenn
rers, etc. AT last he yielded, and, five
minutes after being seated, in a heated
discussion slapped his contradictor's
face. You see," he said to Paul Arene,
lis it not an impossible cafe?" The
time of the second story was the last
years of the reign of Naponeon III.
Clement Duvernois, who had just passed
from the republican into the Bona
partist camp, was urging a friend of
his-a man whom he judged to be amen
able to the same arguments hat had
convinced him-to follow his example.
But" the friend objected, what will
my friends say?" "Oh," Duyernois re-
torted, you will only have to change
your cafe!"-Bookman.

GOPHERS RUIN A CANAL.
Why a Promising Enterprise at
Oklahoma City Failed.


The recent filling up of the canal at
Oklahoma City where it passes through
the southern part of the town is the
end of what once promised in 1890 to
be the most remunerative enterprise in
Oklahoma. Public-spirited capitalists
believed that the waters of the rapidly
flowing North Canadian river could be
used to operate ali the mills that could
be placed on it's banks at Oklahoma
City. Engineers were employed to
make a survey, and it was found that
a canal five miles long could be made
to carry the water that ran a distance
of 90 miles by %sinuous course of the
river. The fall at Oklahoma City was
nearly 30 feet. enough, it was believed.
to develop 1000 horse power. Over $4o.-
900 was expended in constructing b
canal. 1t was diked part of the way.
and the river was crossed twice, The
canal was twenty-five feet wide and
four feet deep. Its completion was an
occasion of Importance in Oklahoma
City. Four inches of water were let
in at the headgate and the electric
light plant and a large Touring mill
were run as if by magic.
An unsuspecting enemy, small in
size but prodigious in industry. soon
overwhelmed the enterprise in disaster.
The banks of the canal were porous,
sandy soil. Gophers attacked the dixie.
A hole no larger thar a mans wrist
burrowed by these animals widened to
a crevasse in a half hour and the water
easily swept away the sandy bikes.
The repairs were constant and costly.
The promoters grew discouraged, the
financial panic swept over the coun.
try, and it was not long until the canal
was a wreck, its foodgates gone and
the masonry piles of debris. Farmers
began blowing up the right of way and
the canal was soon obliterated in many
places.
There are many business men in
Oklahoma City who believe that a canal
could be successfully constructed and
that the failure was caused by bad en-
cheering. The water is certainly there
in sufficient power to operate the mills
of a big manufacturing city. Some
day the enterprise may be revived. If
the engineering should be successful
Oklahoma City would become an impor-
tant manufacturing town. Chicago
