Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1909-11-13

This appeal is made to the plain average citizen of
Occur d'Alene who wants to this city grow and be-
city of 10000 people in the next FIVE
years.
Can this result be accomplished by building wall
around Occur dAene and bidding only for class of
fadsts and fantaicsf
Or must we take down the walls bid for all classes,
people who drink and people who do not drink the
of money and the who labor the home builder and
the who will engage in productive ndustriesf The
who clamorng for prohibition would put wall
around Occur dAene and bid only for those of their
class The liberal and progressive citizen who wants TO
Occur dAlene grow would bid for all classes barring
none of whatever shade of belief belief except of
course the criminal class.
One of the main objections to this prohibition agita
ton is that it is turning back the hands on the dial Of
the worlds progress. Prohibtonsts would place Occur
d'Aene in the list of provinciaism; the pro-
gressve element of the city would place her in the
mopotan class They would have her like New York
London The arguments of the and bigoted pro-
hibtionists the laughing stock of European people
Occur d'Alene should be cosmopolitan city, not class
tyranized borough Can Occur d'Alene be made great
city by catering to and bigoted class? Those
who think not will vote no. with big NO against pro-
hbition next Wednesday.
Any man having acquaintance with general
prohibition will deal fatal blow to the growth of Occur
dAene Even the agitation of the prohibition has
already injured beyond estimate. The very posssi
bity that there enough emotional people in Occur
dAene to vote prohibition in spite Of the accumulated
and practically universal experience of past and of
cities whose records well known that prohibition
wherever tried has proven shameful failure has checked
the sale of real estate caused progress to halt prevented
the establishing of industries checked building progress

A Disappointment

Director P. H. Rolls, of the Agri-
cultural station at Gainesville, and
Prof. B. F. Floyd and DIR. E. w. Ber-
ger, also of that city, were in Titus
vile yesterday for the purpose of
attending a proposed meeting of the
orange growers of this section to de-
liver addresses on white fly and fer
tilizerS.
They came here at the solicitation
of Prof. F. G. Schell, of Lake But
Ter, Fla, (who owns an orange grove
in Turnbull hammock, near here)
and were quite surprised to find that
no arrangements had been made for
a meeting, no one was aware of the
proposed meeting, no notices having
been given out or published to that
effect, consequently they were forced
to return to Gainesville without
meeting the fruit growers of this
section.
1t is really too bad that proper not
ice had not been made, as these gen.
tlemen would have given interesting
and instructive talks to our fruit
growers.

The Late Capt. Fitzgerald

Capt. James w. Fitzgerald, one of
the pioneers of steambOating in Flor
ida, died recently at the age of 81.
As long as 5years ago he was identi-
fled with steamboating in this state,
being master of the steamers City
Point and Lizzie Baker, plying be-
tween Charleston, Savannah, Jack
sonville and Palatka. He built the
steamer H. B. Plant. and operated
that line of steamers later on the st.
Johns river. Capt. Fitzgerald was
also superintendent of the Plant
steamship line, operating between
Tampa and Cuba and when that line
passed into the hands of Mr.. Flagler
the A. c. L. retained Capt. Fitzger-
aid as superintendent of its steamship
lines in Florida until his death.
He is survived by one son, D. D.
Fitzgerald; two daughters, Mrs.
Edith Denham, of Pensacola, and
Miss Jane Fitzgerald, of Port Tampa;
two brothers, Edward B. Fitzgerald,
of Savannah, and Capt. John Fitz-
gerald, of Port Tampa, and two sis
tiers, Mrs. M. A. Decker, of Port
Tampa, and Mrs. R. B. Adams, of
Boston.

Increase in Celery Shipments

Some idea of the increase of celery
shipments from Sanford can be gain
ed when it is known that in 1899 there
Were only four refrigerator cars ship
ped out of that town, in 1900 it had
only grown to 100 cars while for the
season of 1907-08, 1,193 cars were
shipped. 1t is now estimated that in
10 years there have been shipped
5000 cars of celery, cabbage, lettuce
and caulifiower from that station.
The first car of celery shipped from
there was sent by B. F. & ]. M. Whit
ner. Capt. Whitner is a pioneer in
the business.
