THE MASS MEETING,

THE mass meeting held az the Fort

a most harm onicus gathering, and much
interest was manifested By those pres.

Tie Speeches !oadA were mas.eysul

emphatic Kramer, ami had any been
present who opposed the question they
would have had Difficult, proposition

grounds for their opposition. It was
regretted that none Of the opposition
were present, for they missed an op.
portunity TO have posted themselves on
every phrase OF the question.
Mr.. McCarty pointed out that it was
to the interest of every citizen of the
town to favor the issue of bonds. That
It was the beginning Of the Fort Pierce
Of the future, and the outcome Of the
efforts Of the citizens of the town for
the past fifteen years, and that every
property holder who had the interest of
the town, and his own interest at heart
should turn out next Tuesday and cast
a solid vote for the issuance of bonds.
The TRIBUNE regrets that our entire
citizenship is not as harmonious on this
question as the meeting was. Every

ton that shall present itself in time to
come, and it is unfortunate that upon a
matter of such small financial interest
that there should be any dissentions.
1t is hoped that the meeting will re.
suit in much good and that whatever
opposition there has been in the past
will be withdrawn and that the election
will be as unanimous for the issuance
of bonds as possible.

Very enthusiastic over the great natural
advantages the western part Of the

the lack Of transportation facilities. IL

no better investment than TO build a
railroad through the timber ridge and
farming lands from Sanford via Olnev,
Midway, Fort Drum, and along the east
shore OF Lake Okeechobee 70 West

has made serious mistake is spending
SO much money and giving away So
much land for promised canals which
are never completed or put in shape so
the public can get any benefit from
them. The same amount of money
spent in building railroads would haya

Last Years Coal Output.

The returns made to the United
States geological survey show that the
production of coal last year was g.
1859 463 tons short of the production of
the previous year, year of abnormal
activity. The strike of 1902 in the
hard coal districts led to remarkable
activity in 1903 Last years produc-
ton, 351 million tons, was normal. The
average price of last years bituminous
product at the mine was $1.10. The
anthracite part of last years produc-
ton amounted to 70 million short tons,
valued at $2.35 ton at the mine.
Alabama's production last year is
put at 11,163,19 tons, worth at the
mine S13,356,095. We still outranS In
diana by nearly a million tons, and
the chances are that the HOLSTERS will
never outstrip us, although we mined
in 1904 less coal than we did in 1908
by 491, 100 tons The increase in In
diana was 1926 tons. Alabama had
a .rike to contend with, while Indiana
hal no labor troubles. 1t was Indiana
opportunity, but she was not equal to
the task.
The states that outrank us are in
order Pennsylvania, Illinois, West yir-
ginia and Ohio. Thrty-one states mine
COAL and Alabama has no rival for fifth
place except Indiana. Here are the
figures for 1904: Alabama, 11,163, 1874
tons; Indiana, 10,229,90S tons-a diff
ference in our favor of 9332S6 tons
We cannot soon secure fourth place
but we should and probably will hold
hl,n place against Indiana.

Secretary Paul Morton of the Navy
Department Is also TO return to pri-
yate life, or rather to railroad circles
again. He, too, goes in the fall sea-

rate making and rebate crushing is to
remain on top, Mr.. Morton is out OF
place, and out of touch with an admin
istration pledged TO government con-
troll in rate making, and to the utter
adjustment of rebates. Mr.. Morton
was an active rebater when he was in
the service of the Santa Fe, and his
position in the cabinet has ever since
been one of increasing delicacy and
discomfort. He has become incompat-
ible in the cabinet. His Santa Fe rec
ord and his cabinet record do not
agree. It seems to be understood that

pointed Assistant Secretary, will be
promoted to the head of our navee

CHAMPION BEAR KILLER.
Maine Man Stays Three at Once With
a Pocket Knife.

Dexfeld (Me.) Cor. New York World.
Stretched on wooden frame in the
front yard of his house are the skins of
two cub bears and the mother bear which
Newton Stowell killed with a pocket knife
after a fight lasting more than two hours.
Stowells body is covered with cuts and
scratches, and the physicians say he may
not recover from his wounds.
The battle between tie man and bears
took place late Thursday night as Stowell
was on his way home from a days work
in the woods. He was within a mile of
the town when he saw the cubs nestled
al the roots of big tree, and apparently
asleep. Stowell had no weapon with him,
but an axe and "a pocket knife, with a
blade less than four inches long. Stowel
grabbed both cubs by the scruff of the
neck and was putting one under each arm
when he was struck a blow on the should
err that knocked him down and rendered
him partly senseless. As he rolled down
the hill he saw the mother bear making
toward him.
He had dropped the axe when he pocked
the cubs from the ground. and he had
just time enough to get his knife from his
pocket before the mother bear got to his
side. AS she MADE SWlpe at MIN WIN
her paw Stowell caught her in the throat
with thrust from his weapon.
Stowel scrambled to his feet and start
ed on a run down the hillside, the cubs
following with leaps and bounds. The
mother bear followed a short distance
and then fell to the ground dead. Stowell
then killed the cubs and removed the
skins from the three animals and started
home. But his left arm 1 been broken,
and he was obliged to drop his load before
he had gone far Blood was flowing from
several wounds in his body. and as he
reached the lawn In front of his house
he dropped from exhaustion
When he had been revived by physi-
clan he told the story of the battle with
the animals. and his two sons went out
and found the pelts in tie woods.

Comedian Was Surprised.

BILLY Clifford had a lot of lun at the
expense of the Atlanta people yesterday,
said Advance Representative Decker of
the How He Won Her" company. our
company came down to Atlanta from
Chattanooga after a week of night stands,
and had the honor of being on one of the
first trains to enter the new union pas
senger station.
Clifford was feeling good at the pros
pect of being allowed to spend week
in such a good town as Atlanta, and as
he hoped out of the fallman he looked
about with big eyes at the huge train
shed Just about that time a depot at
tendant in gorgeous red uniform
grabbed the Comedians baggage and
started off Clifford ran after the negro
and after recovering his suit cases he
went up to the bureau of Information.
Say he asked can you tell me
what town this is?'
Atlanta of course, answered { young
man behind the grating.
well | don't believe it, answered Gilt
ford You have been talking about new
depot for a long time. but this is too
good to be true. | believe I'm dreaming
and expect to wake up in about fve
minutes back in the old shack
THAT night Clifford improvised a song
on the new depot and it made quite hit.
Everybody in Atlanta is Dragging about
that passenger station. Those people are
certainly proud of themselves"

Value of Pine Lands.

Thirteen thousand acres of timbered
lands in Marion and Perry counties,
Mississippi, were recently sold at $25
an acre. The two counties mentioned
are just south of Hattiesburg. 1t is
safe to say that the thirteen thousand
acres would not have brought over
five dollars an acre five years ago,
certainly not ten years ago.
Every tree cut in the white pine dis
tricts of the northern states means an
appreciation of every tree standing in
the yellow pine districts of the south,
and capitalists are coming to see how
valuable southern timbered lands will
soon become. Ten years hence the
thirteen thousand acres in Marion and
Perry counties will be worth $50 an
acre If no inroad is made upon the
timber standing on them. The pine
forests of the north are being rapidly
stripped of their timbered wealth, and
it is inevitable that yellow pine will
rapidly advance in value and demand
and market price.
AT the present time a strong syndi-
cate is endeavoring to buy or to COM
bine a vast quantity of timbered lands
in south Mississippi, and there are
men living who will yet see a snatch
ing for pine trees and an appreciation
Of values now deemed incredible. The
enhancement of values goes on con-
stantly, and almost imperceptibly, but
pretty soon 1t will go with a rush and
a plunge that no one can remain blind
to. Every pine tree will soon be worth
money, and not one of them should be
needlessly wasted. Young pines should
be given every possible opportunity
for growth for such trees grow into
commercial value in thirty years.

GORGEOUS PLAGIARISM
BY THE STYLE EXPERT

Popularity kills any fashion. The leghorn
hat, which is made in Italy, is a straw
OF much finer texture than the Panama.
Il is lighter in weight and far more pill
able. 1t also has the advantage of being
cheaper very good leghorn can be
bought for 49,
Most of the leghorns are going to be
worn with Pugaree bands These bands
are rich colored sashes which are wound
about the hat in East Indian style"
More palpable plagiarism. The bright
colors of feminine headgear have been
appropriated The Pugaree bands are
made up in all sorts of clashing color
combinations. Green, reds, ye.lows, blues
and pinks struggle for recognition. Even
in the ordinary fiat bands or the sennet
and split straw hats fancy ribbons win
be the proper caper, and some of the hat
shops are exhibiting creations encircled
by bands of rainbow hues.
