The selection of site was made in
July, 1895, the hottest month in the
Southern Summer, but the Northern
visitors suffered no discomfort While
the days were warm, the nights were
pleasant. 1t was October before the
surveys were complete and the lots
staked off. The townsite covers an area
of 1000 acres, one and a quarter miles
square, and is divided into four wards
of 256 squares, separated by Main
street, running north and south, and
Central avenue, running east and west,
these two streets each being I20 feet
wide and parked in the center, the grass
plots bordered with water oaks and
magnolia trees. On each boundary is
a 60-foot driveway, the one on the
north bearing the name of Sultana
Drive, on the south Roanoke. on the
east Monitor and on the west Merrimac.
Beyond the driveways are the five-acre
tracts. These drives bear the names of
noted warships of the civil war. The
streets north of Central avenue are
named for Georgia rivers, the first one

They had also examined the mortality
and temperature tables of Georgia aid
other States of the South and found
some surprising facts. The United States
census of 1900 showed a little
more than 5000 persons 95 years of
age and over in the whole country, and
yet nearly 5000 of this number were
citizens of the Southern States east of
the Mississippi, Georgia having more
than any other State. The death rate
of Georgia was next to the lowest in the
Union, according to the vital statistics
gathered by the census. The tempera-
ture tables showed the average annual
of Atlanta to be 61.2 degrees; of Au-
gusta, 65; of Brunswick, 6S.S; of Sa-
cannah, 66.4. January was the coldest
month and July the warmest. The high
est Governmtnt report for Savannah
was 105 degrees above zero, with 8
above zero as the coolest record. Com
pared with this range of 113 degrees
every Northern State showed range
of from 100 to 173, the latter high figure
extending from Minnesota thru North
Dakota to Montana, a region showing
not only the highest temperature, but
also the lowest.
Fine Showing for Georgia.
Altogether Georgia averaged up very
satisfactorily. The query then was
whether or not large enough tract of
land could be secured on which town
might be laid out with sufficient acreage
left for those who wished to engage in
farm operations. Correspondence was
entered into with Gov. w. ]. Northen,
who invited Mr.. Fitzgerald to come
and investigate.
In company with a committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Welch, of Kansas;
Miller, of Nebraska; Dinger, of Illinois;
Wynas, of Michigan, and Deniston, of
Indiana, Mr.. Fitzgerald went to Geor-
gia, and with the Governor they visited
several sections of the State, and finally
decided that a location in the north
central part of Irwin County, a couple
of miles from the Wilcox County line,

INVENTORY OF NATIONS
RESOURCES COMPLETED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The mucn
talked of inventory of the Nations re-
sources is now practically completed.
To consider the material it has brought
together the National Conservation
Commission has just announced it's first
full meeting for Tuesday, December l,
in Washington. At that meeting the
first steps will be taken toward putting
into tangible shape the results of tho
six months hard work ON taking stock
of the country's waters, forests, lands,
and minerals.
One week later, after the commission
has gone over the inventory, it viii
hold a joint meeting in Washington
with the governors Of the states and
territories, or their representatives. At
this meeting the inventory win be
further discussed and the report which
the president has requested the com
mission to make to him by January !.
will be formulated.
With less than six months in which
to make the inventory, the four branch
es into which the commission is divided,
aided by the cooperation Of the gov
eminent departments, have brought to-
gether what is probably the most use.
full collection of facts about the mater
ial things on which national industry
and progress are based that has ever
been assembled at one time. Reports
presenting those facts and pointing out
their significance have been prepared
These reports, summarized and indexed
will be submitted to the commission al
its coming meeting.
All through the summer general in
terest in the work and object of the
conservation commission has been grow
ing. The public is now well posted OF
a subject of which only a few special
lists had knowledge at the time of the
conference of governors and exports al
the White House, in May.
The governors carried the spirit OF
the conference home with them to theil
own people, and have kept things NOV
ing ever since by appointing state corn
missioners to study local problems, BY
writing and speaking upon the subjec
of conservation, and by keeping il
close and helpful touch with the nation

There are more than q million plants

mission had even got into the mails.
When the conservation movement
was started, specific information about
the actual state of our resources was
partly wanting, partly inaccessible.
Certain facts were broadly known. 1t
was at least unquestionable that our
had been wastefully used, and
that some Of them, notably the mines,
were sure in time to be completely ex-
hausted, while others, for example the
forests, could still be kept perpetualiy
useful by right management. The first
work was to get the facts, to show ex-
actly what the situation was and how
it could be improved by measures that
would work. Without an inventory OF
the resources which would show the pre-
sent condition of the and the
way to develop them to the best advan
tage, conservation was in danger OF
staying up in the air.
But the work is now practically done.
The facts are there, in dollars and cents

port to the president viii be the neces-

CANNOT
uA7URALIZE
SUZUKTS NEW YORK CERTIFT-
CATE FOR NATURALIZATION is
TURNED DOWN.

Masakechi Suzuki, the Japanese who
applied to clerk of the Federal Court
Murphy for naturalization yesterday,
and who produced a document from
the clerk of the Federal Court for the
Southern District of New York. show
ing that he had filed his papers Of in
tention two years ago, was turned
down this morning. The matter was
taken up with Washington by cable
and as the result of the instructions
which were received Mr.. Suzuki will
not become a citizen of the United
States unless he can force the matter
through an appeal to the courts and
he will apparently have little chance
in this manner.
Suzuki made his application to the
Federal Court for naturalization as the
result of an application which he made
for work with the United States En-
gineer Corps at Pearl Harbor. He
wanted to get a job as carpenter at the
work which is going on at Puuloa and
when he made the application was ask
ed if he was an American citizen. He
replied that he was going to be and
hunted up his papers from the New
York clerk and tried to test Murphy.
The latter, however, appears to pay a
little more attention to the laws of the
country than was done in the East anG
held Suzuki up till explicit instructions
on the matter were received, the clerk
then refusing to receive his applica-
ton.
Suzuki stated this morning that he
would take the matter up with Consul
Saito, but how much satisfaction he
will get from this source is doubtful.
1t is hardly likely that the represen-
tative of the Imperial Japanese gov
eminent in this city will go to any
great amount of expense or trouble
for one of his fellowcountrymen who
has already, in making his application,
forsworn allegiance to Japan. The
applicant himself, is apparently a
bright and fairly well educated chap
and talks very good English. He
wants a job with the government,
but as Captain Orwell has always made
it a rule to employ only citizen labor
on the work which he is doing here,
when it is available, it seems that he
has small chance.
There was a peculiar thing in the
document which Suzuki presented to
Clerk Murphy and which is now in the
hands Of U. S. District Attorney R. w
Breckons. In three different places II
shows marks of erasures. This is moi
thought to be the result of any crook
ed work on the part of the Japanese
however, but to have been caused by
the bungling if some clerk who should
never have given him the document
in the first place.

QUESTION FOR
THE POLITICIANS

Now that the campaign is coming
on the various politicians are looking
around to see where the sinews Of
war are coming from. A political
campaign costs good deal of money
and there seems to be a prospect that
some of the best sources of campaign
funds will be cut off. This may be
done under the Federal statutes.
The United States laws are very
clear on the fact that no corporation
which owes it's existence to the laws
of Congress, may contribute to the
campaign funds for any election. This
would naturally rule out the larger
corporations of this city, who have
obtained franchises from Congress.
The National banks are specially
mentioned in this section.
Another section which is of inter
est states that no corporation what
ever, may give money to campaign
funds for any election in which a
contest for President, Vice-President
of the United States or Representative
in Congress takes place. This would
apparently rule out every corporation
in the city from giving any money
for the coming campaign in which a
Delegate to Congress from this Terri
tory is to be elected.

THE LAND
Of KAPPA
WITH SPALDING
ARE AT AN END AND FREAR
CONSIDERS OTHER PLANS.

Col y. S. Spalding was among the
callers on Governor Frear this morn
ing, accompanied by Manager George
Fairchild, of the Makee Sugar Com
pany. When asked the object of the
call Governor Frear said:
"Why, l imagine that Col. Spalding
called to pay his respects and we talk
ed over old times, the weather and
numerous other matters. Among the
other matters we incidentally touched
on the Kappa land question. In that
matter when the lease expired we sent
appraisers to value the lands which
they did, and this was made the basis
for an offer of exchange. The Ma
kee Sugar Company turned down our
offer. We then wrote asking if they
would bid on the Kappa lands if the
lease should be placed at auction They
replied that they would not bid up to
the upset price we had fixed.
"At present we are waiting develop
ments Our surveys over there are
very nearly completed and we will soon
have everything in shape for advertis-
ing. The land may be leased in small
parcels or in large, that will depend
on the offers which we receive.
mo, we have not any negotiations
on at present with the Lihue planta-
ton for the land. They are near by
and might have use for it, but can
say nothing definite in regard to that.

EVA TO PAY
AN EXTRA

More money is still coming in extra
dividends for the holders of sugar
stocks. At a meeting of the directors
of Eva Plantation held last Saturday
it was decided to pay an extra dividend
of two per cent at the end of this
month. 1t is confidently expected
among the Eva shareholders that still
another dividend of this description
will be handed over before the end of
the year.
Since the first of the year Eva has
paid monthly dividend of twenty
cents per share and at the end of this
month will have declared dividends
for the year of twelve per cent, in
Guiding two extra payments of two
per cent each. This makes a total OF
100000,
From the past prices OF sugar for the
year and the prices which should be
obtained by Eva sugar now on the
way it is estimated that the plantation
will show a clean profit of 100000
Of this amount it is believed that the
directors will pay out 100000 in divi-
dends or a total of eighteen per cent
for the year. This will mean contin-
uation of the regular dividend and still
one more extra payment Of two per
cent.
The rise in Ookala has been no
ticeable of late and is attributable to
two reasons. The first and most i'm
portant is the fact that it seems prac-
tically certain that this plantation,
which is to be dissolved at the end OF
1910, will pay considerably more than
the estimate made by the directors at
the meeting held on November %, 1907.
At that time it was figured that when
b'the affairs of the plantation were
wound up there would be $13.74 per
share left for the stockholders. From
the present indication there will be at
least SIT per share and some of the es-
Inmates go considerably higher than
this.
The other reason for OoKaias rise is
in the fact that a special meeting OF
! the stockholders has been called for
| September for the purpose of re-
/deeming on October 1, 1908, the entire
| outstanding issue of bonds of the COM
pany. The last sale of this stock was
at $40.

in connection with the Channel swims
