state, for if a tree will thrive through
so many VicissitUdeS, there is no
longer room to doubt that orange
growing can be made a great success
for even now the groves are in much
better shape than they are in any
other sections of Florida.
One Of the surprises Of the little
unpleasantness Of Christmas week
was the way the young groves of
Messrs. John and RObt. Dean stood
the cold. This grove of forty acres
was planted one year ago last June,
on rich hammock land. The trees are
all budded varieties. and have made a
vigorous growth, but there they stand
as if such a thi1g as a freeze had
never been heard of. Young trees
like these could not stand tempera-
ture below 20 degrees, and corIe

with the exception of one low spot
not even the foliage on these trees
has been touched. The Deans are TO

Congressman Sparkman has Just
succeeded in getting an item in the
present rivers and harbors bill calling
for a new survey of the entire Calico
sahatchee river, with the purpose OF
making much needed improvements.
Despite all manner of drawbacks that
would be the finish of many another
section, the valley of the Caloosahat-
chez continues to develop and build
up with prosperous groves, farms and
pretty homes, for the advantages
largely outweigh the drawbacks, and
settlers and investors continue to find
locations on the banks of this charm
ing river, with its thousands of acres
of rich hammock soil lining either
bank. Men who have helped make
the Indian river orange famous are
now doing the same on this river. ana
the Garveys and Raymonds, together
with others who will emulate their
methods, are rapidly gaining for the
Caloosahatchee orange a name that
will mean best quality, for it is tI.Is

grape fruit at the three last great
fairs held in Florida.
Ten or twelve years ago MenSe

thought of meeting other craft on the
crooked, narrow stream. Now the
pilot has not only TO keep throwing
his wheel hard to port or starboard TO
carry him around the sharp bends,
but he must keep an eye out anead for

Mr.. BERGH DENIED
RAISE IN SAL AIRY.
Law TO INCREASE BANK EXAM
INER'S PAY NOT PASSED IN
A LEGAL WAY.
Secretary Of State Also Informed That
State Board of Regents Must Not
Engage Special Counsel.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 3O.-[Speciall
Attorney General T. L. Gilbert today
gave his opinion on three important mat
tiers that have been vexing state officers
for many weeks past. His findings in
the case of State Bank Examiner Bergh
occasioned considerable surprise in of
fetal circles here.
Bergh Must Wait for $4,000.
In an opinion to State Treasurer Dahl
the attorney general held that the state
bank examiner cannot enjoy the $1,000
salary voted him by the last Legislature
Mr.. Bergh's salary is $1,000. At the last
session law was passed, raising the
salary of the bank examiner to $4,000
The attorney general finds that an
amendment to the banking laws must be
passed by a two-thirds vote of each
house according to constitutional amend
ment. The vote in the Assembly on in
creasing the salary was ayes, At; noes,
This is not two-thirds majority and
before Mr.. Bergh can enjoy the larger
salary, further action must be taken by
the Legislature.
Regents Can't Hire Counsel.
In an opinion to Secretary Of State
Frear, Mr.. Gilbert declares that the
board of university. or normal school re-
gents have no authority to hire special
counsel This question came before the
attorney general as the result of the
claim of c. E. Buel, civil service com
missioner, who received $3.50 compensa-
ton in certain condemnation proceedings.
The bill was paid, but Secretary of State
Frear wanted to determine whether or
not the board had power to hire special
counsel. The attorney general further
held that the money paid to Buel could
not be recovered.
Claims He Was Fired.
In an opinion to the civil service COM
mission the attorney general held that
the commission has no power to sit as a
tribunal to determine upon the fact
whether I. P. Leigh of Milwaukee re-
signed or was discharged from the posi-
ton of corresponding clerk in the office
of the state treasurer. State Treasurer
A. Dahl contended that Leigh resigned
and Leigh says he was fired" The
matter will now go to the circuit court.

Literally parboiled, the tiny body of
Irma Templin, 2-year-old daughter of
Albert Templin, 481 Third avenue, lies
in it's little coffin while weeping moth
er is bemoaning the loss of her little one.
Irma fell into a tub of hot water at

while her mother was working in an
other room.
A faint smothered scream brought her
to the scene as fast as she could run.
and she arrived in time to prevent the
little one from drowning, but it's tender
flesh was scalded almost to the bone.
The screams of agony brought neighbors
to the scene and a doctor was sent for.
Opiates were administered and the child
made as comfortable as possible. The
mother was almost in Mysteries In spite
of every care, however, the baby died
Friday evening at 10 o'clock. The cor
oner was notified but permitted the body
to remain at the home.
