Paper gas pipes are among the novel;

then passed into a vessel filed with
melted asphalt After coming out Of
the bath the prepared strip is rolled
uniformly and very tightly around an
iron rod or pipe, which serves as the
core and has the same diameter which
the gas pipe is to have. The rolling Of
the paper is stopped when the right
thickness has been secured. After the
pipe section which is thus formed has
been put through high pressure It is

cLApEs DISTRICT.

That the drainage Of the Everglades
and the lowering of Lake OkeechObee
is impossible. because the lake is con-
nected with the ocean by SubteTN
ranean channels, and that even if &C
complished. the results would be dis
astrOus to the more valuable class of
lands affected, is the conclusion reach
ed by Charles F. McQuaig, of Orlando,
says the Jacksonville Times-Union.
Mr. McQuaig is a native of Ala
bama. but since 1870, has lived In
South Florida. He is engaged in the
real estate business, and his work in
that connection has carried him
through a greater part of the drainage
district affecteF by Governor Brow
ards scheme. Several times he has
made especial trips, IN the company
Of engineers, through that section Of
the country, and is considered a wit
ness almost competent to discuss the
conditions that are SET about the
draining of the Everglades.
With the exception Of the data re-
garding the subterranean channels
that connect Lake OkeechObee with
the ocean, the affidavit Of Mr.. McQIRig
supports in detail those fled by Engi-
neer Christopher Malin, fornsr Senar

lock. especially as regards the disas-
t-ous results Of carrying out of the
present plan.
Tides In Lake,
In speaking Of the facts which ar
que for a direct connection betweeD
Lake Okeechobee and the ocean, Mr..
McQuaig says:
The afiant believes that the drain

cOmpliShed for the reason that. in his
opinion, Lake O3Heechobee is connect.
ed with the ocean by subteTranean
channels, and that this connection is
proved by the existence Of q tide in
Lake OkeachObee.
He has frequently visited Lake
Okeechobee and particularly its north
shores, and he has observed the tide
running up into the creek fifteen
miles. as far back at Pete Robinson's
near the old Tyler battle ground; and
that on several occasions, when
camped near the mouth of this creek,
he has noticed this tide when there
was no wind blowing.
Disastrous To Cypress.
"Affiant further says" continues the
affidavit Of Mr.. McQuaig," that the
lowering of the general water level of
this section would affect different
classes of land in different ways, bene-
fitting certain classes and injuring
others.

Supporting Testimony.

Supporting the testimony OF Mr.
McQUaig is the affidavit Of Mr..
William King, for seven years
a member of the Board of
County Commissioners of De Soto
county. for five years, and at present
their chairman, and a man who has
ever been interested in all that per
tains to the welfare of that section
Of the state. Mr.. King is a fruit grow
er, living at Avon Park, ana in speak
ing of the effect Of drainage on the
lands in the district, he says, among
other things:
The affiant is thoroughly familiar
with townships 80. 81. and 50, range
%. and townships SO, 81, and 35, range
%. Most Of the townships are high, no
swamp to drain, and running from one
to two hundred feet above sea level
Most of these townships are covered
with a growth Of average second class
pine timber studded with clear lakes,
which naturally drain themselves in a
southerly direction"
Then, in direct opposition to the
drainage scheme of Governor Brow
ara, Commissioner King says:
Inc SOIL IS SduuS, THIRSTY Bull,
and needs irrigation more than 1t
needs drainage.
In atlantis opinion the section
covered by these townships would
not be benefited in the slightest way
by the lowering Of the general water
level south of this section. In fact, II
would rather injure the lands than
benefit them.
''In atlantis opinion a considerable
section of Polk county, north Of the
district, needs drainage more than the
townships described above"
This evidence. coming from a man
who. as a public official, has devoted
the last twelve years Of his life to
improving the section of the country
he claims the carrying out Of the
drainage plan would injure rather
than benefit, is of a character which
cannot be disregarded by those who
are interested in the progress Of the
scheme of Governor Broward.
