The Live Oak Democrat thinks that
Tampa shouldy select a better title
than Queen City OF the Gulf" and
that Pensacola should be satisfied
with being called the Deep Water
City, Says the Democrat in a recent
issue:
Pensacola and Tampa have a mild
grievance against each other because
each is claiming the name, Queen
City of the Gulf" Let Pensacola be
satisfied with her distinction as the
Deep Water City" That name is
instantly suggestive, sounds nicely,
and has definite meaning 10 il and a
valuable basis in fact Queen cities
are found in various parts of the
Union and Tampa should think up
something better. Proctor Knott i'm

A Question of Title,
Not One of Merit.

INOl VIC VI IuSl1l-
The following paragraph, in a recent
issue of the Tampa Tribune, would
lead one to think that Pensacola had
acknowledged Tampa's superiority as
a city in general. Such was not the
intention of The Journal, and we want
to put Brother Stovall right on this
question. The little paragraph he
mentions was simply one of our weak
attempts to get funny" and really
we had no idea of trying to steal Tam
pas title of Queen City of the Gulf.
When we saw that Tampa was offend
ed because of the little paragraph we
fastened to apologize and disclaim
any intention of wanting to claim that
title. Pensacola has been known for
years as the Deep Water City and we
are perfectly content to be styled as
such.
Tampa is undoubtedly one of the
best towns in the state. The people
of that city are wide awake and hus-
Ting, and take advantage or every Op-
portunity offered them for the ad
vancement of her interests. They are
making many public Improvements
there and her great private enter
prises have been doing a remarkable
business. AS a cigar manufacturing
center il Is the greatest town in the
country and we are willing to thur
rah" for Tampa as big as any one. The
fact of the case is We are proud that
Tampa is a Florida town.
The paragraph referred to from the
s>Ii~------
We thank The Pensacola Journal
for acknowledging that Tampa is the
Queen City of the Gulf, and for with
drawing all claim of Pensacola to that
most royal title. One or two of
the state papers have been attempting
to stir up trouble between the Tribune
and The Journal over this matter,
and we will not say that The Journal
has not been somewhat to blame, for
it put forward a sly and, we must
when one of the papers spoke of Her
Majesty of the Gulf. to find out wheth-
er Pensacola was not, perchance, the
place referred to. Now, a Queen is
necessarily sensitive of her honor,
and her slave. the Tribune, at once
sharpened a dozen of the best grade
OF Faber's No. pencils to take up
the cudgeI in her defense if necessary.
Fortunately, a modus vivendi has been
arrived at. The Journal has made
graceful skidoo to the rear seats and
left us in command of the situation.
Good, good, good, We love this Queen
City of the Gulf N B.-Don't dis
pute her title, anybody.
Again we say that we are willing
for Tampa to be known as the Queen
City of the Gulf" but we want Tam
pa to understand that when it comes
to question of deep water and the
beauties of a harbor that Tampa is
not in it with Pensacola. If the Tri-
bune, when it says The journal has
made a graceful skidoo to the rear
seats" intended this to be taken in
connection with the contentious about
the relative merits of the two har-
bors 1t is sadly mistaken Pensacola
will not skidoo for any southern port
when it comes to a question of this
kind. We have the facts to substan-
tiate our contentious about this deep
water business and if Tampa wants
them she can get them. However,
We believe the Tribune man knows
enough about Pensacola's harbor not
to contest or deny our claims.

ASKED TO SAVE FISH.
Rogue River Men Petition Governor
10 Prevent determination OF
Trout.

A dispatch from Medford dated
Friday last says:
Fishing on the Rogue river is
Threatened with extinction in the
near future, according to the fisher
linen of southern oregon, unless Fish
Warden Van Dusen makes some ef-
fort to enforce the law. In conse-
lquence Commercial club sportsmen.
business men and farmers are up in
arms. and are appealing to Governor
chamberlain for relief.
The Rogue river has long been fa-
nous as the finest fishing stream on
the Pacific coast. Nowhere are as
many game fish. OF recent years,
however, the supply has decreased
slarmingly, due primarily to the lack
of an adequate fish ladder by which
fish can ascend the river past the
dam near Grants Pass, constructed
by the Golden Drift Mining company.
In addition to the dam, no attempt
IS made to enforce the fish law and
seinlng Is permitted up to the base of
the dam. As a result, there is not
one fish now where there were five
few years ago.
Nearly 1000 citizens have signed
the petition to the governor in this
vicinity and similar petitions are be-
ing signed at Jacksonville, Gold Hill,
Central Point and other towns in
southern Oregon. The petitions read
as follows:
"To the Hon. George +. Chamber
