IN FAVOR OF THE BONDING ISSUE
Mr. Helseth Makes Answer to Mr..
Waters Article of Last Week.
Yiklng, FLa.. Noy. 16. l0OS.

Viking, Fla, Nov. 16. 1908.
Editor Fort Pierce News.
Having opened your columns for the
discussion of bonding the county for
good roads, l find in your issue of No.
vember 18th an article from Mr.. J. T.,
Waters, in which he gives his opinion
In regard to the county roads, county
commissioners and the people of St.
Lucie county in general.
lie says 1t is not necessary for any
intelligent man to spend one moment
in study on this question, Right there
is where Mr.. Waters made his mistake.
He gives US the cost of moving car Of
pines from bis place to Jacksonville,
but has Mr.. Waters figured out what
1t costs to put the crates on the car, as
a good many have 10 haul the pines
from a quarter TO three-quarters of
mile.
1t costs here an average of five cents
per crate, or $500 for a car of 300
crates, or $50 per 1000 crates. ! believe
the majority of pineapple growers will
average 1900 crates per year, which
means $500 for hauling packed pines,
ard crate material to the packing
house $50-a total expense of $3.50.
With good roads il would not cost
more than half, or a saving of sl25 on
pines alone, besides the fertilizer, slips
and all other hauling, and do not be-
iieve there is any pineapple grower
who has TO haul his pines quarter Of
mile or more, but what he could have
his road tax more than doubled and save
mouey, provided he has good roads. |
spent four times more money last year
in fixing the road for my own benefit
than / paid in road tax and consid-
cred Il good Investment.
! Mr.. Waters asks this question: "Who
pays the taxes?r and he answers; 1--WE
the already ovep-bn6aeaed farmers
| II Mr. Waters will take the trouble
to look this matter up and take the
actual value of property into consider
alton l believe he will find that our
taxes could be increased a little and
still compare favorably with other
parts OF the United States.
1t is too bad Mr.. Waters has snch a
poor opinion of our county commission
ers. but am afraid that if we shall
wait for good roads until we get the
kind that Mr.. Waters is looking for we
win wait good many seventeen years.
as / do not believe roads cad be built
of hot air.
What seems to worry Mr.. Waters
more than anything else is in getting
good men for bond trustees. That GER
tainly is one Of the most important
things to look after. | do not agree
with him that the only men that car
he Got is the one out of job. believe
there are plenty OF men in st. Luclt
county that are willing to serve even !
thew have to sacrifice part OF thell
nriyate business for the public good
and if we get back to the good old way
1 81 the Office seeking the man we vii
probably get better service.
Hoping that Mr.. Waters will change
his views on this matter and work anc
vote for for aonds and good roads,
.oroo;n Yours for good roads,
j. HELsETH.

Drowning at the Inlet.
White City, Fla .

A sad drowning occurred at the inlet
about three miles from Fort Pierce, on
last Sunday when August Babel, a
Russian Finn, and new conner TO this
section, found watery grave.
1t seem that the deceased and Chas,
Raymond, who were fishing for r,
Whyte, had been outside in a launch,
aud in coming back into the inlet the
boat struck sandbar and Babel was
plunged overheard. Raymond sprang
at once to his assistance and got hold
of his clothes, but ir pulling him to-
ward the boat Bahel's body struck the
propeller, cutting his clothing and Sc.
verely wounGing him, Causing Ray
mond to lose mis- grip by the clothes
tearing A rope was then thrown to
him, but he was too weak to help him
self and the rope became tangled In
the wheel
The body was carried to sea and Ray
mond could do no more. Later the
body came into the breakers about two
miles south of the inlet, where it was
seen by party Of young people from
Fort Pierce and they waded out and
brought it ashore and at once notified
the authorities at Fort Pierce,
No inquest was deemed necessary
and the body was buried in the Fort

For Keeping Records Relating To

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The
antiquated methods Of keeping records
relating to public lands, many Of
which have been in vogue since the
general land Office was first organized
nearly 100 years ago, are to be super
seeded by the most approved modern
business system When the changes
go into effect the district land Office
and the general land office in Wash
ington will be able to identity any
application or entry more readily than
under the old system. All persons
rendering moneys to the receivers at
the land Office will in the future be
given receipt for such moneys
Each district land office is to be fur
nished with modern Office supplies.

DENVER, Colo, June 30.--Iirom
present appearances Il Is probable that
the majority OF the delegates and
alternatcs to the democratic national
convention will be in Denver only q
short time before the convention
opens Thus far no, single state del
cgation has arrived, only q few have
started and Il Is fact that there are
more newspaper men on the ground
than politicians, Probably the FIRST
active participants in the convention
to reach Denver will be those who
left Chicago several days ago in auto
mobiles and who visited Lincoln yes
terday on their westward journey.
The most important event OF the
day bearing upon the convention was
a meeting Of the committee on con-
vention arrangements which was cali
ed TO order at ten o'clock, While the
committee which recently named
Theodore A. Bell Of California as
temporary chairman did not propose
70 select a man for the permanent
presiding officer that matter came up
for discussion II Is generally under
stood that the men for this position
will be Henry Clayton OF Alabama.
While he is known TO be the personal
choice Of w, J. Bryan, no opposition
Is being offered to his selection al
though several names have been men
toned IN connection with the place.
The committee devoted the greater
part OF the time to the seating OF del.
egates and to the letting OF contracts
for tickets, ballots and other work OF
that kind incidental to the convention
The finishing touches TO the conven.
tion hall are being rapidly made and
Oh decorations are now all in place
with the exception OF the bunting,
which will be draped around the boxes

All Of the available space in the
hotels already has been reserved by

applying for rooms, and the Denver
Convention League, a non.partisan
organization. has volunteered TO pro-
vide quarters in all sections OF the
city The League has adopted the
plan which was first used at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition at
Chicago and has since been put in
practice in other parts Of the country
upon occasions OF similar nature.
A bureau of information in charge OF
campetent and well informed men has
been established at the Union depot
where all rooms with the price and
other particulars concerning them are
listed
Applicants upon calling at the bur
eau are directed to quarters, The
rates for all OF these rooms are estab.
iished by the convention League and
not by the owners OF the houses.

pie as feel themselves unable to reach
their rooms with difficulty. They will
also be furnished with a card which
is written the price to be paid for the

is protected against any possible
chance OF extortion or over-charge,

New Salad That Has Caught Popular
Fancy In New York.

For several years there has been
served at the Waldorf.Astoria a salad
called the Waldorf salad, which was
a Joy TO the appetite Of the bon yiyant,
but a new salad has been introduced
that eclipses II. II is called the salad
Astoria. Not only is II a Joy to the
appetite, but so attractively put to-
gether IN its mosaic arrangement OF
colors that one hesitates to demolish
II. Once broken and served It proves
so delicious that every woman who
partakes OF It at once determines to
learn how to make one just ike It At
home.
Oscar says II Is the simplest and
most healthful Of luncheon salads. II
is made by splitting a head Of romaine
salad lengthways, laying one-half on a
plate with the heart SIDE up, then
closely placing alternate quarters Of
orange, grape fruit and Bartlett pears
on the romaine until Il is fully Gov
cred. finishing of each end with half
OF picked walnut, decorating the top
with tiny strips OF green and red pep
