The Lake.

The principal topic Of discussion In
town the past week, was the proposed
gigantic lake which is to make Her
Jacksonville known as ''the Lake City of
the Mountains" all over the world. The
announcement of this gigantic project
in the Hustler was read with great in
terest, not only in town but was noted
by several of the State papers. Ashe-
vile is considering a similar plan, which
will not compare with thelocal scheme.
Major Strong, the well known engi-
neer, states that q dam a few inches
over 20 feet at the long bridge will be
sufficient TO give a lake of many miles
in extent: Some estimate that it would
furnish q lake with nearly fifty miles Of
shore line. Toxawsy has a shore line
of fifteen miles.
Not the least advantage of the scheme
would be the destroying of all breeding
places of the mosquitoes, which during
the past two seasons have become o
serious nuisance.
AS stated in last weeks paper, tine
success of the plan depends entirely up
on the owners of the surrounding prop.
erty If they are willing to sell their
land at q fair price and take payment
in stock hn the company, there viii be
q great1ake in Hendersonville before
long.
we understand there is a disposition
of the property owners to do this, as
they realize the perfect safety of the
investment, and the assurance of large
returns or their money. +
The advantages to the city are mani
fold. There will be a great boulevard
surrounding the lake. Boating, bath
ing and fishing will be the finest in the
South, and it is the opinion of our most
conservative business men that GREAT.
Err HENDERSON VILE is practically
an accomplished fact when the dam at
long bridge Is constructed.

EDITOR HusrLHR: !

EDITOR HUSTLRR:
I wish to thank the democratic exc
cutive committee of Henderson county
for the confidence reposed in me, I.ani-
tested in it's selection of a new chairman
and promise to give the party the bene-
fit of my best efforts in the discharge of
every duty attending this important
position. IreaIize the great significance
of this unsolicited responsibility and
appreciate the compliment mainly be-
cause it came without the asking.
In assuming the duties of the Office,
l 4 desire to ask the hearty cooperation
of every democrat and all other citizens
of the county who believe in a more
economical county government. If the
entire opposition to favoritism and mis-
management of county matters is unit
ed, we shall realize a decisive victory in
November. Our only contention has
been over the method and that is now
happily settled. Let us march in solid
phalanx, hand in hand, shoulder to
shoulder against ring-rule and oppres-
sion, q golden opportunity is presented.
let us make the most of it. l invite, and
shall appreciate at all times, the advice
OF my fellow citizens aud sincerely hope
20 have the sympathy and cooperation
of every democrat in Henderson county.
Again thanking the committee and
with best wishes for success at the ap.
preaching election, I am,
Yours faithfully,
G. E. BROOKS.

The Rain

It's rain. rain, all the time, Sunday
was alright and clear, such aday as we
may expect under normal cond1tiensin
this Gland of the Sky" but Monday it
started in to make up for lost time and
rained nearly all day. The roads are
in a horrible condition, and it's practi-
cally impossible for the farmers to
bring any produce to town. The out
look for the winter is not bright. All
feed stuffs will be high. In some sec
tions the crops are almost entirely ruiz
ned, and nearly all corn is damaged.
The rain is and has been general
throughout the east and south, many
parts suffering more severely than this
section.

fore. Here's how a few came out.
M. A, Thomas painter, Lynchburg,

then / have used nothing else.
G. B. Edwards, Raleigh, N. G. had
used 80 gallons paste paint on his house
and bought 30 gallons Devoe; A. E.
Glenn, his painter, said it wouldn't be
enough. Had 16 gallons left. Mayor
W. w. Carol, Monticello, Florida,
writes; Painter estimated 80 gallons
Cor my house; took 20 gallons Devoe.
Gilmore & Davis Co. contractors and
painters Tallahassee. Florida, says 2

NEW MILL FOR GOLD COIN.
Rye Valley Property Will BE Rapidly
DeycIOpcd.

Saturdays Baker City Herald says
of the development work of the Gold
Coin mine at Rye Valley:
on his way to Portland to make ar
rangements for the shipment of por-
ton of the machinery recently order
ed for the Gold Coin mine in the Dur
kee district. DR.. T. II. White, one of
the owners Of the famous property, Is
In the city today.
There is so much snow now In the
vicinity of the Gold Coin at present,
DIR. White says, that It Is impossible
to accomplish any work. There Is
about seven feet of snow at the mine
and for quarter Of mile, between
the mine and the mill, the snow has
drifted to a depth Of fully 20 feet.
DR.. Whites mission in Portland Is
to arrange for the shipment of the
hoist to the mine. This is to be trans-
ported to the mine by going above the
property on the Rye Valley stage road
and will make the haul about three
quarters of a mile longer than usual
but the managers of the mine wish to
get the machinery set up and develop
the required water before they start

construction of their new 100 stamp
mill.
About 40 inches of water will be re-
quired and DR.. White says he believes
this will be developed within 800 feet
or 500 feet at the utmost, with the
levels from the main shaft. The vein
has developed a pretty good showing
as to water and he is confident that
the 40 inches will be secured. In the
event that 1t is not they will build
tram and transport their ore from
three to four miles to the Burnt river.
Until the water Is secured no work
will be done on the big stamp mill as
1t will not be erected directly at the
mine If 1t is found water cannot be
obtained. At the end of 80 days it will
be ascertained whether the water Is
10 be had or not and then the install
lation of the stamp mill will be COM
menced. The mill is to be run by cleo
trio power and for this purpose large
electric plant will be installed at the
mine.
The old 10-stamp mill will be left
upon its present site until the new one
is in operation and then 1t will he
moved TO the new site.

ELEGANT NEW TRAIN.
ashore Line Limited" VIII Accommo
date Tourist Travel.

What is said will be the most ele-
CANT train ever run on Pacific coast
railroad, will run on the Southern
Pacific in California, beginning
March 1, and which will be known as
the "Shore Line Limited"
The o. r. & N. offices in this city
have just received the announcement
of the installation of this new train
which will be put on to accommodate
the enormous tourist travel of that
state.
Owing to the cheap excursion rates
from the east to California and to the
extensive advertisement of Califor-
mia by the Southern Pacific, the great
est throng of tourists ever to come to
the coast is expected this season.
In order to furnish excellent con-
veniences for this travel and to give
every opportunity to see points of in
terest, this elegant train will be put
into servie. Much of the tourist
travel coming to California will also
come north to Oregon and this train
will be an extra inducement for north
bound travel from the California
points. - '
The train will consist of baggage,
buffet, dining, observation and three
parlor cars and will be given prece-
dence over all other trains on the
shore line of the Southern Pacific.
