Land Values In Highlands.

How the value of land has gone I'D

as elsewhere. Is evidenced from some
extracts that have been given to the
press from the MS. OF the late Rev.

had observed the changing conditions.
Some rentals in Kintyre, as compared
with those of the latter half OF last
century, have gone up thousand fold.

over $4,000, 900 The various English
packs number about 400 of which %
are of staghounds, 1876 foxhounds. 127
barriers and 81 beagles. The Earl of
Bathurst has figured that the daily cost
in the season Of keeping foxhounds and
hunting the country is $3.50. The
main food of hounds consists of oat-
meal, dog biscuit and horse meat, and
hundreds Of tons Of these components
OF the dog ration are bought and sold
In England each season for the sup
port of the packs. Hunting, except in
the case OF hunting with beagles means
that the hunters must be mounted. and
1t is estimated that for this purpose
10000 private hunters are kept
throughout the country, not including
the horses OF the servants Of the hunt
In fact, huntsmen figure up that their
diversion is a great national blessing.

lar manufacture. and between $4,000
and 10000 tons of the curling wood
fiber are turned out by the Eastern
and Western lumber mills annually.
Eastwood and poplar are the woods
used in the production. The logs are
sawed into lengths of eighteen inches,
which is the length of fiber Of ex-
celsior. These blocks are in split
halves and the wood is properly sea-
soned. Excelsior is made Of different
degrees of coarseness and fineness OF
fiber. In the manufacture a series of
knife points run down the face Of the
block, cutting into the wood in parallel
lines that are spaced according to the
width of the fiber to be made. A fol-
lowing knife slices off the whole face
of the block thus served. The fibers
curl and commingle as the knife sets
them free. An excelsior machine
makes two to three hundred strokes a
minute. every stroke cutting off tier
Of fibers across the face of the block.
The usual commercial package of ex-
celsior is bale weighing about $50
pounds. At wholesale excelsior sells at

The kissimmee Valley Gazette says:
Last week We told of the escape of Will
bur Shiver aud a fellow convict named
COrbett from the phosphate camps, the
encounter they had with deputy sheriff
and how they crossed the Kissimmee
river at West Gardner. On Saturday the
news reached town of the death of Cor
bett under the most horrible conditions.
1t appears that in the brush with the
deputy sheriff near Haines City, COrbett
was shot in the wrist and in the thigh
After they crossed the river they made
their way TO Turkey Hammock. BY this
time Corbett was suffering so from his
wounds that he could.g no further, and
lay down in blanket TO die, careless of
detection or capture. He was without
food or help of any kind except the at
tentions of some people living near, Dick
Bass and Bud Sullivan, who did what
little they could for him. Here Wilbur
Shiver deserted bim and continued his
fight.
The wounded man refused to be dis
turbed or sent to Kissimmee by steamer,
saying he preferred to be picked up by
buzzar,is 10 being sent back 10 the phos-
phate camps. After lingering for several
days through rain and cold, without fire
or shelter, he died miserable death, his
wounds having mortified until the flesh
dropped off his limbs.
Rull Bass arrived the day he died and
among them they held sort of informa
inquest and buried tine dead fugitive
right where he lay.
Corbett is said to have come from De-
Soto county, and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for COW stealing. Both he
and Wilbur Shiver complained bitterly
of their treatment in the phosphate
camp, saying that they We're fogged
often and bullied by the guards. Both
men swore that they never would 90 back
alive. Wilbur Shiver is reported to have
left he country.

st. PAtrick's day this year came
on Sunday. This gave the Hiber-
mans and their friends > chance to
put IN three days Of solid jubila-
|tion If not all for celebration.
Changed are the conditions of q
year ago in the British islands. for
then the shamrock was the badge
of honor throughout the realms OF
John Bull. The Irish troops in
South Africa had shown their mag
nifcent fighting qualities. Fifteen
Irish infantry battalions and cav
airy regiments had done the best
fighting of the war against the
Boers. Of the generals who had
achieved reputation and who were
doing successful work, Roberts,
Kitchener, French, White and
Kelly-Kenny were Irishmen by
birth or parentage, and it was the
old fact proven over again that in
modern fighting the best soldiers
in the English army are Irishmen.
So the shamrock was universal,
and St. Patrick was the patron
saint of the day for England as
well as for Ireland.
Here in America there has man
ifested itself a respectful recogni-
ton of the patron saint who was
the chief apostle of Christianity
when the faith was introduced into
'Owld Oireland" in the Fifth CEN
tnry, and proper appreciation of
the fact that Ireland has contrib
uted great deal to the world in
heroism, craftsmanship and prog
ress.

some prominent citizens Of that city ex-
pect TO become very wealthy in q short
time. These gentlemen are J. A. Huau,
Frank Clark, Cromwell Gibbons, Judge
|G. NJ. Nolsn and Robert MeNzmee, OF
Tampa. Shortly after che war between
the United States and Spain these gem
tlemen organized = company to look after
esrtain claims Of various parties in Cuba
These claims were based on losses caused
by the war between Cubs and Spain and
the United States and Spain, this country
having shonldered the responsibility.
The company opened an ofics in Ha-
vana, and in q short time had secured
what is considered 5000, 900 worth of
gilt-edged claims against the government.
These gentlemen are enthusiastic over
their prospects, and are now giving the
matter their closest attention. The Gu
ban claim company, Of which the above
FloFidians are the organizers, expect q
full settlement within a short time. They
feel satisfied that nearly every claim will
be paid in full, and If such be the case it
means 4 fortune for each of them.

Two Sleeping Cars Burned.

Two Pullman sleeping cars Tabita and
Elmer, of train No. 50 Of the Plant Sys-
TEN, Tampa to Jacksonville, were COM
pletely destroyed by fire at an early hour
Sunday morning at Buffalo Bluff, seven
miles from Palatka- All that remains of
them is . mass of twisted iron, the
wheels and trucks. The sleepen were
filed with tourists and all were asleep at
the time of the FIRE. So quickly did the
flames spread that there was practically
no time for saving clothes or valuables.
There were seventeen passengers IN the
two sleepers, several of them being ladies.
In the hurry Of awakening and being
placed in other cars several of this num-
Der lost their clothing and personal
effects. The loss in money and iewelry
is said to be, according to the statements
of the passengers, between $4,000 and
$l5, 900. The total loss is estimated at
$50, 900.
