Yost not Confirmed.

The senate in executive session
last " ednesday rejected the NOM
ination of Hon. John F. Yost to be
register of the u. S. land office at
Occur d. Alene. Senators Dubois
and Heitfeld, Democrats, strenuous
ly opposed Mr.. Yost's confirmation.
They resurrected the ancient chest
nut of senatorial courtesy" and
prevailed upon Il sufficient number
of Republican senators to vote with
the Demo Gratis and defeat the APP
pointment. The grounds for the
action was the fact that Mr.. Yost,
who is editor of leading Republi-
can newspaper, and vigorous pol
itical writer, had criticised the two
Idaho senators severely.
The action of the Republican
senators is a serious mistake, and
they have fallen into a neat trap
set by the wiley junior senator from
this state. The logic of the result
is that an Idaho Republican editor
must not oppose Dubois and Heit-
field if they hope for political pre-
ferment at Washington during the
term of either. In other words a
Republican editor must, if he does
mis- duty TO his party, expect To be
ostracised politically. Such a rule
is absurd and senatorial court.

THE DADE COUNTY FAIR.

For five consecutive years, through
the liberality Of the Florida East
Coast railway and the merchants of
Miami, Dade county has held an an
nual fair for the display of her won
drous products.
The first fair was held under pecul-
lar circumstances, and was revela-
ton even to the most sanguine OF
Dade's friends. Each year the pro-
duets displayed have increased in
variety, size and quality, until now 1t
seems as though the highest possible
success has been attained. Each dis
play has been a success from every
standpoint, not only demonstrating
what is actually accomplished by the
farmers and fruit growers, but in set
ting in motion a gradual and solid
development of the county. This has
been especially true of the last two
years. The immigrants have been, as
a class, those who have purchased
their lands, and are making permanent
and valuable improvements.
The fair this season has brought
about more immediate and direct re-
suits than those held in previous years.
There have been many sales of pro-
perties lying between Fort Lauder
dale on the north to Cutler on the
south, which can be traced as a direct

Citrus Fruits.

There has been more or less doubt
in the minds of many as to the adj
visibility Of planting citrus trees on
the rocky lands Of Dade, but the fair
of 1902 has swept away the last doubt,
and those who have RETAINED from
purchasing on this account, and many
who had never had any idea of pur-
chasing and planting, are among the
property owners today and are pre-
pairing to plant groves. The display
of citrus fruits was large and the
quality of the fruit was equal to that
grown in any part of the state. The
grapefruit display was one Of the
finest ever made in point of quality
and general appearance. From the
opening to the close of the fair the
section where the citrus fruit display
was located was crowded with people.
The Vegetable Department.
The display of vegetables was larger
than at any previous fair, while there
was a marked improvement in the
quality. Each year the farmers are
learning better and more improved
methods in culture, which is bring
ing about a most gratifying result.
There has also been a most marked
improvement in the manner of pack
ing. This was clearly demonstrated
and was subject of considerable ia
vorable comment.

a Great 2enefactor.

In closing this article it had been
my intention in a small way to pay
some tribute to the man who con-
ceived and executed it all, who has
already seen tile fruits OF his wisdom
and fOrethnught but whose first
thoughts today are Of the magnificent
future of Florida, the state of his
adoption and in whose development
he has had 50 large share. 1t il not
easy here to do full justice and the
work must be left others. But if it
be true-and it is true-that he who
makes two blades Of grass grow where
only one grew before is a benefactOr
of mankind, then high on this roll of
honor must stand the name of Henry
NJ. Flagler.
And all the cant and cry If dema-
gogic politicians or prejudiced press
cannot change this.
Probably this statement from Mr..
FlagIer in newspaper interview gives
a fair index to the character of the
man:
81 see new things to do every day
down here. truly hope | may live
to carry out at least a part OF my
plans; cannot live to execute all of
them. The growth Of this section is
grand. Nature has been so lavish
that feel man cannot do enough to
show his appreciation. If / can but
blaze the way l shall be satisfied. 1t
rests upon others to complete and per-
feet the work. / could do nothing
save for the loyal associates who
feel very much the same interest |
have in the East Coast"

great through vegetable trains the
New York Herald says:
"But, after all, as Mr.. Flagler said,
he did not start this train for tourists.
Probably he derives more satifaction
from the fact that his railroad operates
a vegetable express which makes 40
miles an hour, has the same right of
way as passenger train, aud Is Just
as much a through train To -Iew York
as the solid Vestibuled limited. 1t Is
this vegetable train which tells more
forcibly than words can just what Mr..
Flagler has done for the East Coast of
Florida, and how he is enabling
thousands Of people to make a liv-

wstermelons as a Money Crop

Lately more attention has been
paid To tie growing of watermelons
and cautaloupes in this section, and
;heir production has been attended
with every success. Melon growers
from southern Georgia and South
Carolina ~ well as from Florida, have
come To Dade county for this purpose
without in any Nay detracting from
their home interests. A notable IN
stance of this right at home Is the
large investments recently made by
the Fastening Bros. the big canta.
loupe growers of Marion county.
They have chain of large farms eX-
tending from Maryland 10 Martin,
and will add another big one at Cut
Ter in lower Dade county and expect
10 begin their east coast shipments as
early a. April l0,h. The growing OF
melons here presents golden oppor-
tunity.

question that the watermelon grows

The Lime Crop.

No fruit produced in this section Of
the United States finds better mar
ket than the lime. 1t grows to per-
lection here and this years crop is
the largest we have yet had. In fact
this is the first year that the lime has
figured much in the shipments from
Miami, but the young trees planted
four wears ago are now bearing heavy
crops, and the increased quantity this
year is quite noticeable. A great
many have been brought up from the
KEYS. AS rule, the Conchs, good
honest people, but unused to ways of
commerce, prefer to bring the lines

II would seem from what has gone
before that the East Coast is the great

comes very near it. Few if any crops
grow in northern ATTITUDES that will

AN OLD Ex.LEGIsLAT0R.

The meeting of the twenty-ninth gen
eral assembly, and reference to Col. S.
A. Moore, of Davis county, as the old
est member of the house, man of so
years who was senator in the Tenth
general assembly, reminds the Times
Republican that Marshalltown has an
esteemed citizen who was member of
the house of the Ninth general assem-
bly,, which met forty years ago, this
month. This citizen is w. G. Wood
worth, now in his S5th year. He repre-
sented Henry county in 1862. during the
exciting war period. Mr.. Woodwork
was then man of mature years, whose
eldest son, Mr.. Calvin Woodwork, was
a soldier In en- Iowa regiment, fighting
the battles for the union in the south
west 1t was a stirring period IN the
history of the state and nearly all the
people including the women were en-
gagged in patriotic work. The legisla-
ture was infused with the same spirit.
Very few members of the Ninth gem
eral assembly are now numbered among
the living. A few years ago, as far as
Mr.. Woodwork could ascertain, there
were but two surviving members of
which he had any knowledge. One of
these was Judge Duncombe, OF Fort
Dodge, who was a member Of the SEN
ate. and Mr.. Jed Lake, of independence,
a member of the house. Mr.. Charles
Aldrich, now so well known in connec-
ton with Iowa historical work, was
clerk of the house. Mr.. Woodwork is
vigorous and he recalls with interest
and pleasure the events of the era in
which he served the state.
