Kerosena And Flies.

A contribution to the literature of
the campaign against the housefiy is
made by the Warren Fish Company
of Pensacola in a communication to
The Journals Sunday issue. This
great fish company, being obliged to
make the refuse from cleaned fish so
offensive as to prevent the collection
of human buzzards," by whom it was
so much annoyed, has found kerosene
very useful for this purpose. Incl
dentally, it developed that kerosene is
a certain destroyer Of the domestic
fly. "Sprinkled over collections OF
manure, garbage, and every offensive
refuse matter, it destroys the eggs
and puts the flies TO instant fight,
says this communications. The most
economical means of applying it is

is commended to the attention Of our

PensaeoIa,s Ely Fight.

people realize what serious menace

City Government Expenditures.

Charles w. Eliot, president of HaT-
ward University, who was recently
in Jacksonville and other Southern
cities, in an interview with the Boston
Transcript this week, among other
things, said: '"The general wasteful-
ness in municipal expenditure is also
another great impeachment. A city gov
erRment which habitUally pays 81 for
so cents worth of work or supplies
cannot make public improvements.
The city of Houston, Texas, under its
new commission government, has been
able to build four large school houses
out of the receipts of the year and
to build many miles of new streets
provided with sewers and lights, with
out asking anything from the abut-
tors, except that they build granc-
1itnic sidewalks. provided with curb
stones along their premises. The COM
mission government has been able to
do this because it pays only one dol
lar for one dollars worth Of work or
supplies" Is not this applicable to
many other cities wherein 81 is paid
for so cents worth of work? It would
be difficult for any taxpayer of Jack
sonvilIe to epumerate the number o.
employees of the city and their salaT-
les and duties, and the thing grows
worse the longer it continues, and
the ultimate result, without a change,
will be taxation almost uncomfortable.

where retrenchment and economy
have been sought here for years, and

latter are no doubt awaiting the time
when they may swoop down on the

Huge Monsters to Haul From One
Hundred twenty-five to One
Hundred Forty Cars.

The new 300-ton freight engines for
the Southern Pacific system arrived
In Omaha Sunday. and were detained
there one day in order to allow rail-
road officials snd employees to inspect
the huge monsters on wheels. They
were started out to ogden this morn
ing and, as they are together and GOV
ering the road only during daylight
hours. it will probably be a week or
more before they arrive in this city.
1t is generally thought by railroad
men that the new engines will be sent
west from Ogden Mt the head OF long
freight trains, and there Is consider
able curiosity as TO the number OF
cars they are capable OF hauling. The
heavy engines In freight service now
on the Southern Pacific frequently
have from rs TO So cars out of this city
westward. and many railroad officials
believe that the new engines coming
can pull from 125 to 14O cars-some-
thing unprecedented in railroad traffic.
