There is movement on foot to have the
coming session OF the Legislature en-
act "a new game law. 1t strikes us very
iorcIbly that an execution of the pres
cnt law would bring about a change thaC
would have the desired effect There
are too many dead laws on our statute
books now. What we want is an en-
forccmcnt Of these laws. Lakeland

1t will soon be time for the winter
visitors to turn their faces homeward.
If Florida eXerted as great an effort to
bring permanent settlers to the State
as 1t does tourists, the State would be
better off. After living in Florida towns
having winter visitors and those no.
having them, we have long ago reached
the conclusion that one permanent set
tier is worth a dozen winter visitors.
In short, the winter tourist business is
overdOnc, and the tourists seem to have
an idea that the State would 20 to the
demnitiOn bow-wows if it were not for

The time is drawing near for the con-

all eyes will be turned toward Tallahas-
see. Let US hope that the new laws
made will be few. Blountstown Demo

The Florida Legislature will convene
in April, and it is said the dispensary

play an important part. BY defeating
both of these measures and adiOurning

credit upon themselves and the State at
large. Quincy Times.
If Governor Broward succeeds in car
rying out this project [draining the Ev-
erglades without too much expense to
the State, he will have made himself
one of the greatest men in the country.
If the work that he has mapped out is
successfully accomplished, Napoleon
Bonaparte BrOward will become a ma
tional figure. He has many of the stur-
dy elements that make great men, and
he will have the enthusiastic support of
the great majority of the people in
Florida in this stupendous undertaking.
II will be well, however, for the Gov
ernor and the board to be very careful
in this matter, not TO plunge the State
into any great debt that it will find diff
ticulty in taking care of in the future.
A thorough investigation of the matter
should be encouraged by everybody, and
the results will be anxiOusiy awaited by
the progressive people of Florida. FIT.

The terrible collision which occurred
at Sandcrson last Saturday, caused by
an open switch which should have been
closed, suggest the possibility Of
weak place in the operating manage

occur any day, of course, and the real
cause may not be apparent until dis

practice Of committing the lives of pas

was being done TO make the South
known in localities from which immi-
grants are desired"
Next TO the effective and extensive
advertisements, at home and abroad,
Of Florida's resources ard possibilities,
comes the proper reception Of those who
come and assistance in finding, at the
least possible expenditure Of their time
and means, of what they desire in the
way Of location and employment. That
the promoters of the Jacksonville
plan" have wisely considered this
branch Of the subject is evidenced by
tho following statement Of one Of the
details Of their proposition: "To have
some practical farmer, who knows how
10 reach this class Of people and how to-
interest and direct them TO take charge
Of the field work, and to see that no
prospector comes to the State who is
not looked after carefully and that every
plan is exhausted TO locate him where
he can make a success.
And on this topic the Gainesville Sun
has aptly said "What is needed is
some plan whereby people may not only
be induced to come to Florida, but be
guided and directed after their arrival.
Too many people come here from the
North who are misguided and who are
not sufficiently informed to intcligently
take advantage Of the many resources
that the State has to offer to the home
seeker. The failure Of the State to look
after this class cost Florida hundreds Of
thousands OfdOl,ar5 this winter. Never
has there been such a tide Of travel
southwark as that which has come here
this fall and winter. Thousands have
come to Florida, and they have coEsti-
tut,d a class anxious to locate if they
could do so to advantage. Thousands
have returned home because they were
Unable 70 grasp the advantages which
tn" State had to offer, or oven see any
thing Of advantage tor them here. "
With a fund at his command sufficient
for the purpose there appears to be no
good reason why the Commissioner could
not "kcep the bureau of immigration
in such a manner as to meet this, as
well as all other requirements Of the
situation. And he could certainly con-
duct it's operations much more economic

tent assistants and subDrdinatCS as

PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS.

Concerning these ubiquitous knights
of industry, the Brooksville Southern
Argus holds forth as follows:
The fact is that specimens of this
class of degenerates tester in and men
ace the public peace and prosperity of
local communities in all parts of our
free country. The cry Of the news
papers against them is the discharge of
a simple duty which they owe to the
communities in which they are pub
lished.
One of the greatest Affections that
can be visited against town, nelghbOr-
hood or county is the imposition of a
rabid politician upon it, especially at
seasons when all classes of the pOpula-
ton should be immersed in business,
and industriously working for their own
individual prosperity and general well
fare.
Persistent publicity, through the local
press, gives abundant promise Of rid
ding afflicted communities Of the incu-
bus of that class Of mischef-makers
whose sole business is to foment dscord
and incite antagOnisms among friends.
In the absence of legitimate party
opposition, factionalism will prevail,
and when devoid Of unseemly PERSONAL
ties will serve a most excellent purpose
But if the vicious methods of the eX-
pert professional ofIice-hunter are al
lowed 70 prevail, factionalsm may
degenerate into something far worse
than bitter and unrcasoning partisan
ship.
The events Of last years primary
campaigns constituted a wholesome and
valuable object-lcsson to every florida
Democrat. They vigorously emphasized
the sort Of politics which should be
avoided in future contests, and warned
the friends and advocates Of the primary
system that its misuse, for personal
purposes, would never again be toler-
ated by Florida's Democracy.

MEXICAN DRAWN WORK
The Big Curio's Great Variety of This
 Exquisite Finery.

Mexican drawn work is always at tractive to the feminine mind and it is coming more and more into favor ev- cry year. This fact is recognized by R. l.. Bake of the Big Curio store and he has therefore provided himself with 9 stock of such volume and variety that it cannot fail to please. It has been before mentioned that for several years MT. Bake has been taking the entire stock of the convent Of Guada- iajarG. or at least the best of the stock. He always buys it after a per sOnal examination and that is what he Gid last fall again. lie succeeded in securing several new designs in ali varieties of drawnwork from doilie5 to table covers. Beside the new designs he has secured several pieces of the cross and crown design which came so much into favor last year. This drawn work is made of all weights of linen from the heaviest Irish linen to the finest, some of it being Of very sheer fabric. In addition to the drawn work he had a lot of Teneriffe work which is now becoming quite the rage among ladies. AS most of them know this is a species of very skillful thread work.
 Speaking of drawn work at the Big Curio store and the ability of MT. Bake to sell it at unusually low prices it may be said that all of it was bought at a bargain. One let was bought so much below the market price or at what the customs officials at Fl Paso believed to be the market price that it is still held up at New York, to which office the matter has | been referred. The duty has been paid, by the way.
 Mir. Bake anticipating trouble at the custom house, in making his declara-
 ton really added twenty-five per cent to the price he actually paid. Even then the customs officials refused to 1 accept the declaration, but insisted 1 that the duty should be paid on the full market value of the importation

INDIAN IRRIGATION
Surveyor 1T. r. Robinson Returns
 from the Black foot Reservation.

H. r. Robinson returned home Satur- day night, after an absence since May 1st in the northern part of Montana, where he has been employed in the h. dian service IS an irrigation engineer, under Engineer w. II. Code. Mrs. Robinson, who left about the same time,
 has been studying vocal music in the Sherwood conservatory at Chicago, and
 will not finish her work until the mid
 dle of the winter, or perhaps early in
 the spring.
 MT. Robinson was employed for the
 summer to survey and construct as far
 as possible this season, an irrigating
 canal system for the Blackfoot In
 dians. The project is known as the Cutbank canal, the water being taken
 from Cutbank creek, on the Continen-
 tai divide, and which is fed by glaciers
 in the mountains. The canal surveyed has Q width of sixteen feet and a depth
 Of three feet, and carries about 6,C00 inches of water. About five miles of the main ditch were completed and
 eight miles more are surveyed and will
 be eXcavated later if thought desirable, for the project is in a measure experi- mental. Part of the system has been previously surveyed and a little con-
 struction done. but it was in bad con dition, so he had practically to begin all over again. The nearest postoffice
 to the scene of operations is Browning, and as the work done was all performed by Indians or those of mixed blood, MT. Robinson was for the greater part of
 the season the only white man in that locality, and was therefore looked upon !. in the immediate vicinity as the big white chief.
 The experimental nature of the pro- | ject will be understood when it is stat | ed that the reservation is located in 1 the coldest part of the United States and the summer season is short. The
 Indians raise but little beside hay, al though they hope to raise grain with a good water supply. MT. Robinson says ] he believes that intelligent white men could perhaps make general farming pay there, but it is doubtful if the h. dians can. with their crude ideas of agriculture. Their main dependence : is stock-raising and in the summer time | they cut hay for their stock to eat in
 the winter time. Though they are I close to a good water supply. that inn
 mediate section is quite arid and some ! seasons they have very poor hay crop, with consequent suffering and a | loss of stoc5l- With irrigation they
 hope to secure an assured crop of hay every year. The Cutbank canal sec tiOn is not far distant from the Milk river project of the reclamation service
 and it is only twenty-five miles away | from what is known as Incubator | basin. so named from the fact that ac- cOrding to the weather bureau, two | thirds of the great wind storms that sweep over the country originate there.
