TO OUR CITY FATHERS.
Editor ocala Banner:


II is all right TO pass sanitary or
dinances. and all right FOR the board
of health to publish notices to cut
down the weeds and clean up the
premises generally. 1t is not only
urged as a prevention of disease. but
as a identifying measure. All of this
is true, but If the work was entered
upon in a practical and businesslike
way, | venture the assertion that
more would be accomplished in a
week than Is now done or can be
done In a month. especially when 1t
is SO difficult to secure efficient labor.
One good one-horse moving machine
and good strong mule, operated by
one man who understands it, will cut
more weeds and grass in one day than
all the hands with hoes and grass
blades that the property owners OF
Ocala can secure to work in the same
length of time-yes in week. Not
only that, but it will be done better
and look nicer Let such machine
run up and down on the borders of
our streets and you will note an i'm
provement in appearance that will do
our hearts good. / know what ! am
talking about, for / lived for years
in town where this was done twice
every summer, and drummers who
travelled all over several states pro-
claimed 1t abroad that it was the
cleanest and neatest town they found
in all their travels. and they told it
far and wide and visitors came and
many stayed.
So much for the streets. Now as to
vacant lots: the town authorities
could use the. machine on them at the
expense of the owners. Ii would be
cheaper to the owners than having it
done-or half done-by manual labor,
If they can get it done at all. The
same means could be used by the city
authorities to compel payment for the
use of the machine that they now
use to enforce the cleaning by own
ers.
But as for our streets, the city
should do that itself by the use of
its own tools and employees. The
city ought to keep it's highways in
good order and safe condition, just
as the county does the highways out
side of cities and towns. What are
municipal taxes for if not to be spent
for the improvement of all city prop
erty? II, or at least, portion of it,
could not be better expended than in
putting our streets in good condition
and keeping them safe and attractive
by moving down the weeds. If our
City Fathers will get such machine
and put it to work in charge of a
competent man, and under the super
vision Of an energetic street commits
sioner, in couple of weeks our city
would look like different place. And
all the people will say. Amen.

We observe that the governor-mak-
ers are neglecting Hon. Jno. N. c.
Stockton, of Jacksonville. 1t is pretty
well understood that Mr.. Stockton
would not be altogether ayerse to oc-
cupying the executive chair, and he is
still an interesting quantity in Flor
ida politics. OF course, he sustained
heavy defeat in 1904. but with all
this he yet comes very near to be
ing the dominant factor in the fac
ton that still bears his name

Spirits turpentine touched Sc "a
cents this week, then recovered the
old price of 81 cents, and wound up
the week Saturday by going to 81 IL
cents again. A broker was buying at
the figure, which gave rise to rumor
tnan an exporter was doing little
bulling through this instrumentality.
The receipts for the week at Savan-
nah were 6,569 casks, and at Jackson
vile 4,75S casks. Everything had been
cleaned up on both markets at the
close yesterday 1t remains to be seen
whether the advance is merely spas
modic movement or if it will be suffi-
GENTLY supported to remain. With
turps it has been different from ros-
ms. Buyers have rushed in there to
fill their wants as soon as the market
weakened and sent them back to
higher points than existing before,
but with turpentine the periods of
weakness do not seem to have been
productive of any unusual inquiry, and
lit has been evident that consumers
of turpentine were more apt to take
the situation calmly and await fur
their developments. If the market
could be advanced and supported now
it would mean much to the producers,
but there does not yet seem sufficient
on which to base such hope.

Cannot Keep Rosin Down-Spirits
Take Spurt-Labor and Weather
Conditions.

Resins have done some lively stunts
this week, going off at rate that
promised to be interesting, and then
up again with even more speed than
they went down, demonstrating again
to the satisfaction of all concerned
that there is no keeping a good thing
down and that the world at large
wants common rosins, must have
them, and proposes to get them
whenever an opportunity offers to
pick them up on little slump in val
ues, 1t was merely a repetition of
what has occurred several times,
showing the great strength of these
grades, the pressing consumptive re-
quirements and the fact that the men
who get in early get the plums, prices
speedily seeking higher level under
the pressure of a general demand.
Tuesday brought the lowest values
of the week, with waterwhite at So
and A-C, the other end of the list, at
1855. A demand came in from all
quarters, increasing with each day,
and bringing advances Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday until the losses
had been largely overcome and even
better prices than the old range es-
tablished on few grades. Yesterdays
closing prices were split. The highest
prices paid showed advances over the
close of the previous Friday of ten
cents on M, Is on X, IL on d, II IL
on A-C, the other grades being still
below the previous Friday, but with
every prospect of recovering this by
the close of today, the demand show
ing no signs of abatement.
/ and below the grades reported
most in request. Their world-like
consumption is responsible for this.
Every year finds their use broaden
ing and for several seasons past they
have been the prime favorites. each
year seeing a higher level of values
establish for them. The fact that they
are doing so well this year is pecu-
Harly gratifying to producers, help
ing them out materially on the lower
values of turps. The upper grades are
also taken right along and have nat
urally been beneficiaries of the calls
for the lower grades. If some of the
lower grades were cut out they would
doubtless bring higher values than
they are doing, but as it is, they help
to carry the whole line along at most
prices.
