The high waters are killing the fish
in the Ocklawaha river in large guam
ties, according to information that
has reached the Ocala Banner. The
cause is unknown, though il is sus-
pected that the heavy rains, by caus-
ing the stream to overflow its banks,
have washed the fannie acid from the
roots of trees and impregnated the
waters generally, thus poisoning the
fish.

TALKS OF GOOD ROADS
Governor Gilchrist Tells of Road
Making in South Carolina.
BUILT OF Sand and CLAY
Clay IL Found Among Blackjacks in Flat
Woods-.-Chief Executive Was
Greatly Surprised.

Tallahassee, Fla.-In an interview
with Governor Gilchrist, a piece of
information valuable to roadmakers
was gained. This information the
governor received from S. III. Owens,
road commissioner in charge Of the
public roads near Columbia, s. c., at
which place the governor stopped
over TO see his mother.
The roads near Columbia, built of
sand and clay, for the most part, run
through sandy stretches of land COW
cred with growths OF blackjack.
The sand Is several feet deep, and
there is no evidence OF clay any
where about, except to those who
know how to look for 1t. The gov
ernor was astonished to learn that
the clay, used so abundantly through
out all that section in bodybuilding,
was found here and there I'm pockets,
whose location is betrayed by the
presence OF few rOund-leaved black
jacks, and angular-leaved variety.
There is also growing In the soil
above these pockets a little, running
briar, having dark green leaves.
The governor is convinced that
similar pockets OF clay exist through
out the sandy, blackjack sections of
Florida can be utilized in making
good, hard roads.
In making the roads above mention

was again used TO arch up the mixed

FLORIDA CITRUS GROWERS IN TAMPA.

Tampa, Fia.--Tampa had one OF the
most notable gatherings OF orange
growers ever assembled In the state.
They came from all sections of Flor

Florida Citrus Growers was called TO

roll embracing the names of nearly
all of the important fruit growers Of
the orange belt, as well as most OF the
smaller growers from the more re-
mote and isolated localities where or
anges are grown in the state. A no
table feature OF the gatherings was
the presence of a larga number OF
ladies, many of them fruit culturists
themselves, and representing quite an
acreage In orange grove property, and
others accompanying husbands and
other male members Of their families,
who were here as active participants

Exchange.
Besides these there were here NUM-
bers of prominent bankers, business

ANNUAL REPORT OF U. S. ENGINEER.
Capt. @. r. spaldlna Has Sent In
Faeta and Flnurea OF Jacksonville.

aNAa NfNd FiNNINu " aNNNaNWNNNNNa
Jacksonville, Fla.-The report OF
Captain George II. Spalding, United
States engineer I'm this district, for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909,
has been completed and forwarded 20
the engineers department for It's &C
ton at Washington. The report Is
an able document, voluminous, and
covers details OF the work, commerce,
finance and other valuable statistics
Of the port OF Jacksonville. There is a
complete review OF the entire work,
which has been done on the rivers
and harbors Of this district from the
very beginning Of operations by the
national government, also that which
Is now under way and which Is con-
templated and which Is needed. All
work, between Jacksonville and the
sea, is infinitely covered In n most
comprehensive manner, and the re.
port altogether will have most i'm
portant bearing on future improve
ments.
It shows that under existing prof.
ects OF Improvements. appropriations
in the amount OF s2,555, 130.25 have
been made since June 3, 1896, which
includes the present available funds.
There appears many details OF the
present harbor work which is under
way, the raising OF the jetties at the
mouth of the river. nature as TO the
formation OF the bottom Of the river
and suggestions as to the best meth
cd of keeping Il in condition after i'm
provements are made.
In reference TO the twenty-five foot
and thirty foot channel from the city
to the sea, the report states that the
increased lengh and draft of vessels
now entering the port, indicated that
the widening is needed at several
bends I'm the channel, notably at the
upper end of Fulton and Browns
creek and at the New Berlin bend
The increased size and speed OF com
bincd passenger and freight steamers
plying the river has caused a consid
cradle washing of banks at several
places. and indicates the necessity OF
bank rcventment at these points, and
of increasing height of some sections
of the training walls.
This is all very important, but the
commercial part of the report, con
tanning statistics of the wonderful
growth of the port hand in hand with
increased water depth from the city
10 the sea, is far reaching and will
have great influence on the future
action of the government in the bet.
terment of harbor conditions.

MUST SHOW PERCENTAGE OF ALCOHOL.
Many Liquor Dealers Have Failed to
Comply with state Law.

Tallahassee, Fla.-The Florida pure
food law which went into effect Sep
TENDER /, 1907, provides that all bey-
erages of whatever nature, containing
any percentage OF alcoholic spirits,
must have the exact amount printed
conspicuously upon the label OF the
bottle. While some of the local liquor
dealers, particularly those who sell
beverages bottled i'm the city or state,
have complied with the law, a great
majority OF them have not.
In this connection, Colonel A. p.
Jordan, the state inspector, who is
now I'm Jacksonville, says that he Is
inding a considerable quantity of IL
quor which Is not labeled I'm require
ment with the pure food law, which
fact renders all such liquors liable 20
be seized and sold by the sheriff, and
the proceeds derived therefTom, turn
ed into the state treasury.
1.-THE state law" says Col. Jordan
has been operative for nearly two
years, and there is absolutely no ex
cuse why local dealers have not com
piled with It's provisions" He states
that II all the liquor I'm Jacksonville
which Is not properly Tabled, was
seized and sold II would entail an
immense loss 10 the dealers. They
have been warned, repeatedly, but sc
far have failed TO heed the warn
ing.
The inspector states that, unless the
law Is Immediately complied with, hC
will be compelled, under the statutes
as amended by the last legislature. &
take the necessary steps TO have al
misbranded goods seized and sold.
