More Railroad Talk.

The people of Brush are exercised
considerably over future railroad pros
poets. Men high in the councils of the
Burlington have been inspecting Brush
and prospects are said TO be good for
tho location of division at that point
and the building of machine shops
This but bears out the statement made
by the Gazette few weeks ago that
some very important changes were to
be made along the line in the way of
new division points and that both Brush
and Wray are to be counted in for fu-
ture developments.
There is no point between Wray and
Brush but what have been almost on
tirely out of water most of the time for
the past two months and this has inter
fered materially with the traffic Of the
road. Distances is another important
advantage that thcsc two stations have
that is bound to bring division stations
to them.
It will only be question of eighteen
months or two years before the change
will be made and it is coming as sure
as time will continue to run her course

Churches in St. Cloud.

Editor National Tribune: I have read
with much interest the letter of Com
rade Place in your issue of the 26th,
regarding a Union Church and no IL
cense at st. Cloud. BY all means let us
start the colony right, with no saloon
in the town.
In this new land whittier we go to
possess it, We must not forget the Lord
God. who has safely brought us so far
thru life. OF course, we all need a
place of worship. Certainly at the be-
ginning one strong organization is bet
ter than several struggling ones. AS
Christians of every name are nowadays
learning to overlook small differences
and recognize the larger endeavor for
Righteousness. a central place of meet
ing and of worship may be very pleas
ant, indeed.
Perhaps the Seminole Land & In
vestment Co. will deem it wise to donate
to the community suitable plot of
ground to be used only for this pur-
pose. A building to accommodate loco
people should be erected, with suitable
rooms for social and society meetings
A single body as proposed will be finan-
cially able to secure some brOad-gage,

USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.

growing within her borders than any
other State in the Union-a greater va
ricty. But there is a general desire 10
introduce more, as the soap berry, the
tallow tree and the eucalyptus.
An addition to the discussion of the
latter, tree which is very valuable be-
cause it has the unusual quality of
growing with great rapidity, yet fur
nishing hard and durable wood, is
furnished by letter TO the editor of
the Florida Fruit and Produce News by
F.. E. Thompson, of Avon Park. Mr..
Thompson says, in part: EUCALYPTUS
trees were first planted here about 1894
and were injured by the great freeze,
but sprouted and grew like the orange
trees. A few eucalyptus trees planted
later have made such wonderful growth
as to cause people to look up, take no.
tice and rubberneck to see the lofty
hight. The growth in 10 years is six feet
around the body.
The seasoned wood is hard as hick-
ory, and posts show no decay in the
ground. The limbs, twigs, leaves and
seed cases make the very best fuel. Our
people are convinced of the great value
of eucalyptus, and are planting them up
and down the avenues and in the ceme-
terry and will soon plant them in forest
form"
In California some species of euca-
lyptus show greatest development in
low places where rainwater stands and
in swamps, river bottoms, etc, tho they
will endure drOuth, according to bul-
letin of the University of California.
Ine durability of the wood, according
to other authorities, is due to an oil
with which it is impregnated and which
is extracted for commercial purposes.
