FOR UNDERGROUND WIRES.
Commissioner Macfarland's Effort to
Have the Installation fastened.

Have the Installation fastened.
Ever since Commissioner Macfarland
upon coming into Office, took supervision OF
the electrical department he has been work
ing to get overhead wires in the city of
Washington underground as rapidly as pos
sible For various reasons, and especially
for lack of legislation. the work of remov-
ing wires and poles from the surface had
gone slowly. Something was accomplished
in this direction in advance of new legisla-
ton, but within the past fiscal year, since
Congress- in the act of June 20, 1902 gave
the necessary legislation to authorize the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany to extend its conduits, much more has
been done The electrical engineer, Mr.
Allen. has just informed Commissioner
Macfarland that during the last fiscal year
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company built over twenty-three miles of
underground conduit, and that the decrease
in the mileage Of overhead wires made by
that company amounted to over 123 miles.
With this went a corresponding reduction
in the mileage Of overhead District wires
strung on telephone company poles or on
District poles, and which can bN accommo-
dated in the conduits of the TELEPHONE COM
pany.
The electric lighting wires are already in
conduit considerable proportion of tele
graph wires have already been put under
ground and 1t is expected that all the re-
naming telegraph wires Will be placed UNI
derground when the terminal station and
approaches completed, SO that the tele-
graph wires now running along the existing
railway tracks may be provided for in I'M
foreground conduits. The electrical engi-
neer reports to Commissioner Macfarland
that the telephone company has not con-
fined itself to the territory prescribed by
act of Congress In which 1t must build
conduit and remove its wires, but has built
nearly ten miles of conduit in the city of
yIyocl ,iyn<y ntIfc nf jHod

amount Of overhead wirea

AT IRVINE.
Big Crowd Attended the Pienic--
Crate Factory Rushed With
Orders

The picnic held at Irvine Wednes-
day under the auspices of the ladies
of the Baptist church of that place
was quite a success in every way.
People from all sections of North
ern Marion were on hand and every
body had good time. The festive
board was laid with everything good
to eat that mortal man could desire,
and the ladies of the neighbOrhOOd
did themselves justice in hOldidg up
their reputation as artists in the
epicurean line.
Mrs. J. L. Davis, Mrs. J. >. Lewis,
Mrs. Moore and Miss Lynne Moore
presided at the lemonade and ice
cream tables, and quite handsome
sum was realized toward paying for
the new organ recently installed in
the Sunday school.
The Irvine Crate aud Basket COM
pany closed down their mill Wednes-
day that their employees might enjoy
the festivities of the day at the picnic
grounds, though the time could only
be spared at loss to those interested
as their orders are coming in faster
than they can be filled. Every day
this establishment is returning checks
and cash TO parties ordering crates
and baskets, as they cannot nearly
keep up with them. They will at
once install new machinery, and by
next vegetable season hope to double
| their present capacity. Mr.. w. ID.
! Afford, the superintendent, tells Us
! that during the summer large storage
| houses will be erected, thus enabling
/ them to be ready for the rush season
when it comes. They are now divid-
ing their supply among the growers,
giving each portion, as fast as they
can turn il out.
Irvine, with it's splendid agriculture
al surroundings and natural advan-
tages, is bound to become an impOr-
tant town in the very near future.
J The most fertile lands in Florida are
to be found in radius of ten miles of
Irvine, and the people who are so for
tunate as to own them are putting
them to good use

GEN. BULLOCK FOR
GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA.
MANY Citizens" Urge Another
Marion County Man to Enter
the Race.

OCALA, FLA, June Ia.
To the Editor of the Ocala Banner.
Tuesday afternoon a number OF
gentlemen, including General Bullock,
had assembled in front of Martins
newsstand discussing among many
other things the WALES claim that
was so uDjustly disposed of by the late
legislature.
The General was heard to say that
never before in all his life did lie feel
like getting before the people to dis
cuss the claim and vindicate the
states honor which had been so dis.
graced by methods that ought to be
exposed; and that he knew of NO
better way than to become a candi-
date for governor.
The gentlemen present at once took
up the proposition and decided that
he must and should become q can1i-
date. The General bowed in thanks
and protested that he was too poor
man TO make the race, but he was
assured by those present that the
means should not be wanting. That
the people wanted man who would
be willing to he governor alone, and
not use the position solely to carry
him to higher political hCnOrs-such
a man they felt they had found in
the person of General Robert Bullock.
The opinion was expressed that
throughout the state a number of the
best men had long thought that he
was the best man they could select
for governor.
$50, look out for our Bob, old
Bob, our true and tried Bob" was the
consensus of opinion.
| With this announcement Marion
county will be ablaze of enthusiasm
as well as a large part of, the state.

Homestead Lands in Florida.

There are something more than
loo, 900 acres of United States hOme-
stead lands in Florida, and theiressOn
that they are not being taken up as
rapidly as in former years Is to be
found in the fact that most of these
lands are remote from railroads and
other cOnveniences. But this terri
tory embraces much of the best farm
ing land in the state and will ulti-
mately be brought into settlement
and taxation -Punta GOrda Herald.
