Estimate OH Orange Crop.

'lhe Florida Orange Growers Co.,
organized at Plant City recently, found
it to be the concensus of opinion of a
large number of the best informed men
IN the state on the subject that the
crop would be- about - per cent or very
little over half Of last years crop
Other authorities estimate as high as
90 per cent, but those who make the
high estimate are generally vague
and indefinite in their statements, and
Judge Of the crop from limited areas
rather than from a view of the entire
field, or they are buyers and of course
interested in depressing prices. Our
deliberate conclusion based upon all
present obtainabe information is that
the present crop will not exceed the ea-
innate of the Orange Growers Co. "A
little over half of last years crop, or
about million and a half boxes. With
this yield any one can estimate as well
AS we can, what prices will be. Bar

dueH'eu' -. u. AUSTIN, President
No question that has ever come me-
fore the people Of st. Lucie county is
OF such vital Importance to the future
welfare Of this section as the question
oil good roads, and it is hoped that
every citizen who is interested in the
development of the county will be pres
ent and lend his influence to push the
good roads movement along.
For thirty years our tax payers have
been taxed for the building and repair
OF roads, and yet we do not have any
that are worthy Of the name. Under
the same conditions that have existed
We will not have any in thirty years to
come.
If bonds are issued in sufficient
to build Il system Of rock roads
the entire length of the county; from
Fort Pierce to Ten-Mile creek: from
White City to river and at other con-
points in the north end of the
county, as well as a good road from
Ten-Mle creek to Tantie and Fort
Drum, we can haye the roads completed
n two years, and the same mlllage of
.aXation that we are now paying will
iquidate the debt, at the present as
essed valuation of the county.
With the rock roads our taxable valu-
Ition will rapidly increase, by reason of
lew people coming in and improving
die lands now assessed at practically !
othing, and our taxes will actually be |
educcd while paying for the rock .
Dads, or if they remain at the same
cure il will be because We have found

A MERE SUGGESTION.
Governor BuchteI Will Tell the People
Of the Good Work Of the
LEGISLATURE.

Denver. - Governor Buchtel has
made the following statement:
"These coming days will be notable
in the history of legislation in Colo
RADIO. | am confident that the Six
teenth General Assembly will make
good. 1t is subject of general remark
that we have an exceptionally high aV,
erage OF intelligence in the House and
Senate. These men are from every To-
cality in the state, and all OF them be
lieve that Colorado will be the home
of a vast population. The quality of
that population will in some measure
be determined by the action OF the
Legislature. We need to make laws
which will; look good to fathers and
mothers who are seeking wholesome
moral atmosphere in which to bring up
their children. All the men In the Leg
islature are boosters for Colorado.

They wish to invite capital and peo'
pie. No one seeks to invite the vicious.
the shiftless and the degenerate. we
all seek to open the way for the pur.

yill be printed as soon as the Lesls-
lature shall have adjourned. The men
of the House and the Senate will be
glad to have 1t known by their con
stituents that they were faithful to
the people when the vast power OF
making laws was put in to their hands.
Faithfuness to the interests OF the
people is the real test of the value OF
the work of every individual member
of the House and the Senate.
Just any ordinary man can collapse
in the face of powerful opposition to

SIX SENATORS WHO ARE
NOT AFTER PRESIDENCY

r HERE are six United States sena-
tors who are not eligible to the
presidency because of having been
born abroad. and they are free from
the buzzing of ambitious bees, having
reached the highest elective office to
which they are eligible under the pro-
hibition of the constitution. Senator
Gallinger, chairman of the committee
on the District of Columbia, was born
in Canada, but went to New Hamp-
shire at so early an age that his
friends would long ago have forgotten
that he was not born there were the
fact of his birthplace not occasion

scheme that he has undertaken it is
not unlikely that the boarding house

to the president to invoke the aid of
the bureau of corporations in break

Adamson is trying to organize among

word, his association will fix a
maximum price for every necessary
of life for representative during his
stay at the national capital.
Representative Adamson says he is
meeting with encouragement from
members he has approached and he
hopes to launch his association next
session. He says 200 members will
be necessary for the success of his
undertaking and he adds that when
once the association gets in working
