vOX POPULI
THE PAVING QUESTION.
Editor Pensacola Journal:

Editor Pensacola Journal:
On trip north this summer | saw
some concrete pavement laid down
in the city of Coldwater, Mich, which
thought the finest pavement / ever
saw, except about the same thing
which / saw in BelIefontaine, o., about
Is years ago, which had been laid
down at that time 9 years. After l
got home / wrote to the city clerk
at Bellefontaine and he told me the
pavement was still in use, % years
from the time it was laid down. The
pavement in Coldwater cost SO cents
yard and was laid down by the
city. l carefully examined many
crossings in Coldwater that had been
laid II years and mad more and hard
er wear than any place in this city
would have.
Such pavement cannot be laid here
as cheap as that, but it can be laid
for one-half the price of any of the
bids made for pavement there last
year and any place north of Garden
street will last long enough.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | am in favor Of
the city at once paving the crossing
of Palafox and Garden street. That
crossing Is ready to pave now, and
the city has it all to do anyhow, and
may as well do it one time as another.
What I propose is for the city to de-
eide what kind of a pavement they
want and put it down or let some one
do it for them and pay him say 10
per cent on the actual cost, and let
us know what a pavement actually
costs. Then we will know whether to
accept the bids we get when we are
ready to let the contracts.

TESTING THE SEWER

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. so, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal
The time is now very close when
the promise of l.. H. Green, chairman
of the bond trustees, should be full
filed. His promise was made at the
city hall. at the time the writer, by
request, attended a special meeting OF
the council, called to hear complaint
of the writer that in his opinion the
sewer on East Hill was carelessly
laid The council, however, attribUt
ed his charge to ignorance. The
writer wanted a water test applied
to the sewer to determine whether
the sewer was properly laid, but this
they refused to have done, or claimed
it could not be done at that time.
Before the meeting adjourned, Mr..
Green arose to make some remarks
and declared that before the sewer
was accepted by the city, it would be
tested by -'the most modern test
known to science"
We have seen something in the pa
pers about it being tested by pulling
a rubber ball, somewhat smaller than
the sewer, through it, to determine
whether it was clogged with sand. II
this is the most modern test known
to science" the same test might be
appned 10 an under-drainy or even tic
gopher hole. Chances are even
that at least part. and more than
likely. a majority fof the officials that
ware so eager to proclaim the writer's
ignorance, did not know the differ
ence between a sewer and an under
drain.
To show that | was acting in good
faith, and that / think now just as
did then, will make this proposition:
| will elect three blocks on East
Hill. and will give the Pearl Eagan
Home $4,000 for each block that the
sewer viii hold water, if each of the
officials that saw fit to turn meN1own
viii agree to give the Pearl Eagan
Home $4,000 for each one of the
blocks THAI will not hold water q
viii make it even easier on them, and
they may club together in pairs, tina,
is, this would cost them $4,000 piece
for each block that will not hold
water.
The city. in its prodigal generosity
gave the water necessary to flush the
sewer, when it was still the property
of Storrie, so they will probably not
refuse the water necessary to test
them.
Yours very truly.

Tourists and Tourists
Florida Bound.

1t Is gratifying to see those North

winters with US returning to be with

with the even climate, beautiful seen

to be had right at our doors. Let
others come and welcome.-Leesbur

lists to Florida are not only increas-
ing ia numbers but improving In quail
ity. They were full of crude notions
about the state, and didn't hesitate to.
express some very raw and mistaken
opinions concerning us when they
first began to come down. But all
that has changed now, for contact
with our conditions and problems,
among the more thoughtful and OBJ
servant class has taken the bumptious
self-assertiveness out OF them and
they have come to think like the rest
of us. to declare no foolish sense OF
superiority and to be among our most
valued citizens during the winter
months
Their Northern criticism upon our
Southern ways is all taken in good
part and sometimes we get some valu
able ideas in that way wen worth
adopting.
We want all the tourists we can get,
good, honest, representative Northern
men and women. and in exchange for
the slight expense they incur during
the winter months we offer them a
climate that admits of no comparison
with their own ferocious blizzards and
cherries snow and ice, and social
companionship with as good. clean,
nice and honest American people as
there is on the face of the earth.
And not one of them has a fake
scheme to separate you from your
dollars
Come to Pensacola! We can even
stand for the tin-pan tourists if they
will be content with our climate and
their imported beans for winter feed
and not attempt to walk all over us
with their absurd swagger and lu-
dicrous pretensions of superiority. We
don't make a cent out of them-they
don't even pay their board-but for
the sake OF the better and more nu-
merous tourists who truly represent
the Great North we will put I'D with
them, beans and all.

Has Grown
Good Potatoes

S. w. Hightower was in Estancia
Saturday from his ranch sou thwest of
town with vegetables which he disposed
of to the city folk, who are without
such delicacies Besides other garden
products he has some especially fine po-
tatoes, some of which weighed more
than pound each. Of course these are
not matured as yet and will, ere fall, be
as large or larger than those Mr.. High
tower exhibited last year at the Tor
rance County Fair and Territorial Fair,
winning first prize in each instance. He
estimates his crop this year at about
three hundred bushels. His claim adjoins
the old Carpenter ranch in a locality
where, it was claimed that potatoes
would not grow. Maybe they wont, un

WOULD DRILL,
1000 FEET
Tulurosa Driller Makes PROPOSE
tion to Make Thorough
Test

At meeting Of the stockholders o1
the Estancia Public Service Company
held in this city last Saturday, Mr.. E.
A. Mayo, of Tulerosa, N. M, submitted
a proposition to drill deep well, using
rotary outfit, capable of going 8, 600
feet. He will enter contract, guaran-
teeing to sink we'll 1000 or 1000 feet,
as may be desired on the following
terms: the first thousand feet, $1.50
per foot; the next 500 at $500 per foot;
the next 500 at $3.50 per fost; the next
500 at So. 90 per foot; the next 500 at So.
so per foot. In addition to this he asks
that he be provided derrick, which
will cost about $3.50. and four inch cas-
ing to whatever depth he drills This
latter is estimated to cost from 40 to
4s cents per foot
At these figures the expense of sink
ing well one thousand feet would be
$1990 feet; 1900 feet, s3l45; 1000 feet
$461O. About $29eO has been raised for
the purpose of making the test to a
depth not less than 1000 feet, unless an
artesian flow be struck before that
depth is reached, which is quite proba-
BILE. The subscriptions now being secur.
ed are on the condition that not less than
$4,000 be secured before contract is
entered and work begun.
1t has been proven that irrigation by
pumping throughout the valley is fea-
sible proposition, but if artesian water
is to be had at reasonable depth, it
would be wiser to put the same money
into an artesian well, if this is possible,
rather than in an irrigation plant.
However, if artesian water is not to
behad in the valley, and it is establish
ed beyond doubt, large number of
pumping plants will be installed in time
for next seasons crop.

noon to take some action on sugges-
ton Of Mr.. Robert Law, president of
the Santa Fe Central in regard to send
ing display to the land opening and
fair to be held at Alamosa, Colorado,
early next week.
twas decided to gather as good a col
lection Of farm and vegetable products
as possible, and send these in charge of
some party, together with advertising
matter regarding the valley. Neal Jen-
son was chosen to accompany the ex-
hibit, and committees were at once
named to secure the exhibit, solicit the
necessary funds, and secure printed
matter. My. Jenson expects to leave
on today's train, as there are no Sun
day trains from Santa Fe to AIamosa
and it is necessary that he be there on
Monday. There will probably be a
large number of homeseekers from the
east in attendance, andi it is hoped that
by showing them what has been grown
in the Estancia Valley, number may
be induced to come and see.
