AIR FULL OF TALK OF PROPOSED
ROADS AND EXTENSIONS OF
OLD LINES.
MANY I RAILROAD RUMORs'
From Lindsay-Frisco. and Rock
Island are both. Surveying.

Seventeen men, composing the
Frisco surveying party on the
proposed line to extend from Okla
homa City to some point on the
Frisco branch now being built
from Ardmore to Waurika, are now
nearing this city aud will probably
stakes in Lindsay by the last Of
arrive the week.
Their camp for several days has
beer on A. w. Bells farm about
seven miles west of town.
Thus far, the survey has followed
closely the line recently staked of
BY the Oklahoma & Texas people
whose proposed road is to be BULL
from Oklahoma City to Wichita
Falls, Texas
The Oklahoma & Texas people
are said to be going right along
with the preliminary steps toward
building their road.
A Rock Island surveying part,
started out from Ardmore few
DAYS since to stake off a line from
that point TO Chickasha.
1t is thought probable that they
may come to Lindsay to connec
with the Rock Island branch nov
in operation between this point and

AMERICAS FIRST COACH.
In 1744 Stage Line was Started to
Run Between New Brunswick
and Trenton, N. ].

AS public conyeyances, or the
stage coach, has been in vogue in
England since 1910, the establish
ment of a similar convenience was
demanded in America many years
before the war for independence.
As early as 1744, therefore, a stage
line started to run between New
Brunswick and Trenton, N. j., and,
by 1856, this route had been ex-
tended over from New York to
Philadelphia.
Moreover, as in England, so in
America the advent Of the stage
coach necessitated marked i'm
proyements in the highways,
while the building Of better roads
and turnpikes naturally created a
greater demand for more coaches,
and, what was more to the pur
pose, lighter vehicles.
In 1771 there were but SO con
yeyances Of every description in
the city Of Philadelphia, but by
1894 their number had increased
TO S27-more than two-thirds OF
which were comparatively light
vehicles a condition which led
one Of the local papers to publish
d most deprecatory article con
cerning the use of conveyances ii
which it was stated that the Gus
tom of riding was then being car
ried to such extravaganza that
seven farmers want carriages"

DISCOVERY OF SALT LAKE.
Jim Bridger Was Finder Of Great Pool
Nothing Could Hold Secret
from This Trapper.

Jim Bridger stands forth as the
most conspicuous figure Of the
brief but glorious reign Of the
trapper and trail-maker in the far
west, says Outing Magazine. The
greatest fur-hunter and the great
est pathfinder of them all, and
possessing the most intimate
knowledge of the Indian nature
ever vouchsafed a white man,
Bridger will grow in stature as
time goes on and accurate history
is written.
No part Of the great Rocky
mountain country ever held a Sc
cret from Jim Bridger. He was
the first white man, after John
Golfer, to view the wonders of Yel-
lowstone Park, and the first to
look on Great Salt lake. Seeming
ly bearing a charmed life, he wan
dered through the lands of many
Indian tribes, sometimes fighting
the red men, but more often living
their life and finding the solace Of
true brotherhood at the lodge fire.
Every mountain Jim Bridger
climbed, every stream he crossed,
and every game trail he followed.
was written down in the most mar
yelous memory ever granted a
plainsman. As result, years lat
er, when the white men, bold bur
biundering, sought the easiest
paths over the mountains, Jim
Bridger showed them the best
traits for their wagons; and, when
the chief engineer of the Union
Pacific had wellnigh given up
hope of getting his rails across the
Divide, it was Jim Bridger who
showed an available pass which
be had trayersed years before in
his trapping days, and the exist
ence of which no other white man
knew. A few months ago. this
chief engineer, Gen. Grenyille M
Dodge, showed his gratitude by
rescuing Jim Bridger's body from
a neglected grave and interring il
at Kansas City under an appropri
ate monument-p probably the
first act Of gratitude ever per
formed for the man who had put
the whole empire of the west in
his debt.

SWALLOW AND THE FEvER
Former scourge Cost More Lives Thau
Yellow Plague During the
Year Of 1905.

The yellow fever epidemic at
New Orleans cost 455 lives, ac-
cording to the statistics of public
health and marine hospital sery-
ice, which had charge Of the quar-
antine and sanitary work after
International government had been
appealed to for aid.
Similar statistics show that
during the last fiscal year small,
pox cost more lives than this. The
death roll was 494 in the 38 states
in which the plague appeared.
The year was fortunate one
one with regard to smallpox, and
the number Of deaths was much
lower than'it often is. Neverthe-
less, the statistics show that it
needs much more attention than
it is getting.
An English medical journal re-
marked not long ago that if in
telligent sanitary work such as
the United States has accom-.
plished on the Isthmus of Panama
could be brought to bear in Great
Britain the smallpox Of thatcoun
Try would disappear entirely in a
| very short time.
The United States certainly
possesses men with brains to sup
4 press the disease in this country
| The supreme court of the. Unit
ed States has recently upheld the
validity of compulsory vaccina
ton laws. There is no obstacle tc
prevent an effective sanitary cru
sade. Our state boards of health
ought to get together, call in the
aid of government sanitarians, i
need be, and do the work complete

THE cONFEREEs ARE SURE TO GET
TOGETHER ON THE FORAKER
AMENDMENT
OVERTURE MADE TO SENATORS
Oklahoma and Indian Territorie
Are Sure to Get Statehood.

Washington, March 3o.-That
the House oonferees on the state
hood bill have the Speakers per.
mission to. compromise on the basis
of the first Foraker amendment is
now regarded as an assured fact.
Indeed, overtures for such COM
promise have been made to invid-
ual Senators who voted for the For
aker and Burrows amendments.
These negotiations have not pro-
ceeded far enough towarrant a pre-
dictiou as to the outcome, and an
additional reason why one must be
deferred from venturing to say
what the result will be is that Sen
ators are apt to be more indisposed
to compromise now than they will
be later.
1t has become quite apparent
that the Speaker is not willing Il
accept the whole of the responsible
ity for depriving Oklahoma and In
dian Territory of statehood, II .
denial of statehood is to be theil
misfortune, the. Speaker desire:
that at least in appearance some o.
the onus shall be on the Senate; Of
to repeat an expression used here
tofore, the Speaker desires that il
the statehood bill is to be slain, tht
corpse shall not be found at the real
door of his room.
There is much speculation as {
what the attitude of the Senate
will be with respect to this over
ture, but il is scarcely worthy O
consideration. 1t may properly b
remarked, though, that it is th'
prevalent opinion that before thu
session ends such concessions will
be made by one honse or the other
or by both, as will assure statehood
to Oklahoma and Indian Territory

Editor Of Lakeland News:
Some time ago Il think about the

Florida. AS | remember, you made
the statement that there were only IS

16, viz: Brevard Clay, Dade, Duval,

The list was sent to me by Comp

was in the county of fernando, which
remained dry, as it was already, since
the list has been changed since the

A Touching Farewell.

10 the Editor Ocala Banner:
Please allow me space in your in.
teresting paper in which to thank NV
many friends in Ocala and vicinity
for their tender sympathy for NV
daughters and myself in our recent
bereavement and for their tokens Of
affection and esteem for our beloved
dead Such friends as they have PROV
en- themselves to be make life worth
living, and but for Gods blessing in
DeStowing them upon us be could
not have survived our double bereave-
ment.
| wish it were within my power to
thank each one individually, but cir
Icumstances force me to leave Ocala
lat an early date, and l must content
myself with this method of express
ling my appreciation, assuring our
friends that the memory of their ten
der sympathy will ever remain in
our grateful hearts
Ocala has been my home for twenty
four years. With my lamented hus-
band | have watched with pride its
growth from an unpretentious village
in the woods through all its trying
Ivicissitudes until it has become the
prosperous, progressive city Of today.
We cast our fortunes with its peo-
Iple, long ago. We reared our child
rem within its refined and genial at
mosphere; side by side, we journeyed
with its people until many of our
friends are turned toward the setting
I, sun of life's journey.
The scene of the plot of my first
book was laid in Ocala's fair environ
ments. With the characters, and
many of my short stories have Ocala
for their setting, until the very name
of the place, to me, is associated with
romance and song and story.
Who can wonder that ] love the
home of my adoption, as that in my
heart it will ever be my home around
which the fondest memories of my
life will cling?
| go to a new home and there amid
new surroundings, hope in time to
learn submission to Gods will and
to be able to continue my chosen
work. When that work is done, be
it early or late, my final resting
place will be in Ocala's beautiful city
of the dead-GreenwOOd cemetery
there to slumber beside the loved
ones gone before; to await the day
when all mists will be cleared away
from our vision, and We shall see that
all Gods plans were right, land what
we dreamed reproof was love most
true"
Sincerely,
REATRICE MAREAN.
