ABOUT BRIDGING ESCAMBIk


North Chumuckla. Sept. II, 1909.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
We noticed in The Pensacola Journ-
al of Sept. Sth where the clerk OF the
board of county commissioners of San
Ia Rosa county notified the board Of
county commissioners of Escambia
county that Santa Rosa county was
not able at present TO entertain the
proposition for bearing half of the eX-
pense of constructing a steel bridge
across the Escambia river.
This has been the reply for these
many years, ever since the bridge
proposition was put before the board
of commissioners of this county. The
question might now be intelligently
asked: When will she be able? Not
until there are some political changes
in county affairs.
There have been several steel
bridges built in the eastern portion
of the county across Yellow river
Cold water and other streams. You
have but to investigate and you can
readily see what benefit these bridges
have been to that portion Of the coun-
ty. We will take UP the bridge across
the river at Pollard, Ala. What did
the construction OF that bridge mean
to Santa Rosa county? It meant de-
velOpment, prosperity and direct, last
ing good to Santa Rosa and to pos
teTity.
Compare the taxes of 1909 of the lit
tie town of Jay and throughout that
entire section to the taxes prior to the
construction Of that bridge and you
can see at a glance what it has done
for Santa Rosa county.
The bridge now in question is just
as important, and as much needed,
as the above mentioned one In fact
it is an absolute necessity and would
be OF greater Importance to the Coun-
ty than the Pollard bridge, for the
reason that II would be nearer the
center Of the base and state line and
would open up a larger scope Of cOun-
try.
There are beautiful homes that are
vacant and nice farms that are living
idle. Why? Because people who are
prospecting and come here with the
view Of settling find out the situation
and leave discouraged.
The majority OF our commissioners
say that the county is not able TO
entertain the proposition of standing

If One is a Liar,
Then Which is 1t?

Anthony Fiala, of Brooklyn, New
York, was the commander OF the
Baldwin Seigler arctic expedition
ended its operation in 1905 He has
made some sharp remarks about
Pearys claim to have been the one
only original discoveTer Of the north
pole and these thoughts of his are
worth considering.
The Journal does not think it pos
sible that a mani of Peary's previous
record and education would be guilty
OF a lie on a question Of interest to
the world of science, and is inclined
to relegate any question as to the
veracity Of either Cook or Peary to
the time when both OF them will pre-
sent their proofs TO the scientific
bodies which Will pass upon their
genuineness.
At the same time, the expression of
opinion OF Mr.. Fiala is worth reading
and will help the ordinary student Of
the peculiar status of the controversy
to form an opinion. FiaIa said, re
ferring to PeaTy:
The story almost takes ones breath
away. His return must have been
even more wonderful as he left the
pole on April 18th, reaching Cape Co
umbia on April 23Td, a distance Of
about 400 miles as the crow flies. In
the sixteen days march from the pole
to Cape Columbia he must have Gov
cred thirty-One miles per day with
open leads to bother him so that to
reach Cape Columbia by April 23rd
he would be obliged to make the
phenomenal speed Of forty miles daily.
Now Cook claimed that twelve
miles a day was good time to make
over the ice fields with sleds and
dogs. And here there is presented
the opportunity to compare the verac-
ity Of the two men. But, no doubt,
they both got there.
