Track Laying on Key West Exten.
sion Will Soon Begin.

StSit VIII 0OOil 0C9Ht.
The work of laying the track on
the Florida East Coast railway ex.
tension in the keys will commence
this week, says the Miami Metropolis,
practically all of the work, including
the laying of ties, have been COM
pleted on all of the keys except plan
tation key. where there is till some
work to be done.
Track laying will commence on Kek
Largo and continue on south from
one key to another. The rails are
now arriving.
The trestle and pier building are
also progressing nicely. At Long
Key, where the workis considered the
most difficult, seventeen concrete
piers have already been built and
others are under way. A total of be
tween three hundred and forty or
forty piers will be built at this place.
Up to few days ago the work was
retarded by the nonarrival of ma
chinery and supplies, but these are
now on the ground, and the engineers
expect to make greater progress in
| the future. Material is being rushed
to the various operations as rapidly
as possible and a big showing will be
made during the next six weeks.
The health of all the men continues
good. and but very few are leaving
or contemplating leaving. They have
good food, comfortable quarters and
receive sufficient pay to make the po-
sitions worth holding ON to-St. Aug

Washington D. c.. Oct. 23.-Dur

United States produced 134,717. $50
barrels of petroleum, as against IT.
0S0,5S0 barrels in 1904, according to
"a report issued today by the United

During 1905 there was a notable

The Irish Home Rule Question.

Special TO the Ocala Banner:
London, Oct. 23.-Very important
matters are set for consideration dur
ing the present session of Parliament
w.ich commenced today including the
Irish Home Rule Bill which is ex
pected will pass the commons with
"a sweeping majority.
Should the bill be rejected by the
the Lords, resolutions of drastic ma
ture will be passed in the commons
dealing with theSa1bpef house.
The hopes of Irish Nationalists are
high now that the great day in Irish
history is approaching. Owing to
the necessity of the Irish Catholic
members bitterly opposing the gov
ernments education bin, there has
been constant possibility of break
between the liberals and the nation
alists. This has caused Home Rule
Bill before now. &E.

Poor Management.

Il have never seen such poor arrange
ments for handling crowds at a baseball
park as there are in Birmingham" said
Professor Holmes of Mercer university,
secretary and treasurer of the Southern
intercollegiate Athletic association, yes
terday. "The Idea of a baseball club which
has an attendance as large as that to-
day not having but one entrance and that
only large enought to admit one person
at a time.
when l arrived there were two hum
dred people packed and jammed in front
of this single entrance, trying to get
inside and only one man to take tickets.
1t continued that way until the game was
called.
After one gets inside and secures a
seat 1t is equally as bad. 1 had to be
constantly jumping up and letting peo-
pie climb above me, or move TO one side
and have people climbing all over me
to reach seats. 1t would be much more
convenient and comfortable II there were
steps by which one could climb as high
as they desired In the grand stand and
not have to inconvenience any one"

Standing Timber in Alabama.

The department of agriculture, aided
by the National Lumber Manufactur.
ers' association, presents a preliminary
report of the cut of 1905. We need not
consider the situation in Washington,
or in fact in any other state than Ala
bama.
The lumber cut of 1905 in this state
is put by the government at "a million
feet This product came from 926
operators or firms or corporations. No
doubt the 1926 includes all but the little
mills whose output is comparatively
small in the year. The entire cut of
Inc year in this state probably did not
rise to a billion feet.
The estimates of expert timber men
seem to point TO the fact that three
quarters of the yellow pine of Ala
bama has been cut and the remaining
quarter will last from twelve to four
teen years. Even the small tracts and
the solitary tree is in demand, for
log put on car at the nearest switch
is worth about So thousand feet, and
many a log contains thousand feet
But the trouble is, few Alabama farm
wagons can hold up such log, for it's
weight would be about three tons. But
when the price of yellow approximates
Inc present price of white pine, the
necessary wagons will appear, and
every merchantable log will be CUT
and marketed.
Perhaps one-half of the merchant
able hardwood timber of this state has
been cut, and the standing half will
last possibly twenty-five years. The
state at the end of a generation will
be timberess, unless indeed we adopt
a policy of timber culture or forestry
extended TO every one of the sixty
seven counties in Alabama This is
worth thinking about.
Some holders may continue to hold
against famine prices, and in that way
there will be perhaps some large tracts
of timbered lands in this state long
after the periods mentioned, but the
commercial timber of this state will
practically have been cut and mar
keted at the end of those periods.

Cation Mills in Alabama.

The Manufacturers Record says
there are 81 cotton mills in Alabama,
and the "a contain 1926 spindles and
lo,059 looms. But the Records state
ment is erroneous because it transfers
the Lanett cotton mills and the River
dale mills across the Chattahoochie
river and makes them Georgian mills
when they stand in Chambers county,
Alabama. The mills in question con-
tain $4,000 spindles and 1870 looms
This brings Alabama's total UP to S40,-
zl6 spindles and 1929 looms. Includ
ing plans of extension for the present
year, Alabama has just about 100000
spindles.
1t is, however comparatively poor
showing. There are 642 cotton mill
companies in the south, and Alabama
has but Sc of them, or about S1a per
cent. The southern spindles as a
whole are doubled each six years, but
in Alabama cotton mill building has
become a lost energy. Not a new mill
has been projected in this state this
wear. 1t is different in Georgia and
the two Carolinas, for mill building
goes on in those states unchecked and
Georgia has today Ill mills, South Car
olina 1876. and North Carolina holds the
record, possessing no fewer than 243
mills. Alabama is laggard In the
race, and yet she is the river state OF
The union, with an abundance of UNI
developed water power, and also an
abundance of coal. 1t is strange in
deed that cotton mill building has be-
come lost art in this state.

St. Louis Police Judoe

A travelling man of St. Louis relates
some interesting stories of the police
court Of that city. He says that judge
Pollards methods are unique, and pro-
nounced generally to be the most effective
yet devised for the treatment of crim-
nails. 'The judge does not penalize as
much as he moralizes,p said the travelling
man, land this not in a mere theoretical
way, his work in that direction being
eminently practical. For instance when Il
man appears before him for being drunk.
instead of filming him and letting him go
only to repeat the performance, the
chances are he puts him on pledge not
to get drunk again for thirty days. If
the man breaks this pledge and is brought
before him second time, he is put on
probation for one year with the penalty
of months Imprisonment in the work
house staring him in the face for the
second offence.
Judge Polard's position is that the
high purpose of the law in such cases
where no actual crime has been COM
mitted, is to uplift and reform rather than
to SIMPLY impose fines and condemn-to

What Passes May be Issued.

No passes shall be issued, says the

rather satirical, Senator from Maine.
81 Passes may be issued to eX-union
soldiers and sailors and ex-Confederate
soldiers, to railroad lawyers and their
families, to ministers of religion and
to all INDECENT, homeless and destitute
persons. The question now is, to which
class do you belong? All who have no
passes are of course destitute. They
are INDECENT to that extent, and this
philanthropists of the Carnegie Rookie
Teller sort. Laborers, too, can receive
passes, and so can those fleeing from
epidemics or pestilence, and that cpl
demic or pestilence may be whooping
cough as readily as yellow fever. To
sum up the matter, everybody can get
a pass provided the pass issuer has a
viewpoint that fits the applicant.
Congressman, judges and Legislators
and local officials may be compelled by

to their own state, fof if they accept
one. even from Birmingham to Chat

than $1,000. Aldermen will please take
