ABOUT JOHN E. STILLMAN.
Leading Democratic Newspaper Wants
Him Reappointed.

The following is so unusual and such
a splendid compliment to a former
Volusia County boy, that THE NEWS
republishes the article in full;
1T has come to The Journals atten-
ton that Hon. John L, Stillman is an
applicant for disappointment to his
present position as collector Of Gus
toms for the port of Pensacola
THE Journal had fondly hoped that
the collector of customs. as we'll Us
the other federal officers in Pensacola,
would this time be appointed by Mr..
Bryan, but the memorable verdict of
the American people in the last prcsi-
dental election imposes that duty
upon Republican president, Mr.. Taft.
1T is possible that advice from Demo-
cratic sources may have no influence
with Mr.. Taft but the fact that the
people who are served by the various
government officers in Florida are most
~ Democratic gives them an interest
in the presidents appointments which
we believe be will not overlook
IF we may presume therefore that
Democratic endorsement may receive
some consideration, The Journal will
take this occasion to say that it be-
!icvcs the disappointment OF Mr.. Still
man as collector of customs will meet
the approval of the vast ma ority of
the citizens of all parties who know
him or who have business with his
Office.
Pensacola does not possess a citizen
who is more active in the cause Of
good citizenship or civic progress than
is Mr.. Stillman, and his service as
collector has been emincntly satisfac-
tory To the people who have business
with the customs department PreSi-
dent Taft will make no mistake in re-
appointing him"
The Journal is recognized as one of
If not the leading Democratic news
paper in Florida. The article printed
above is the finest tribute ever paid
John +. Stillman. 1t is doubtful if
another Republican in Florida could re-
ceive such tribute.

NATIONAL FORESTS
ORGANIZED IN FLORIDA
This Is Known as the Choc tawhatch HE
National Forest, Near DeFuniak.

Washington, Dec. s.--(Special, } The
government land withdrawn from settle
ment in 900 in Santa Rosa and Walton
counties, has been placed under per-
mancnt administration of the forest
service as a national forest. The new
forest covers approximately 46S,o
acres and is known as the Choctawhat
chez national forest 1t is under the
supervision of an acting forest super.
visor. |. r. Eldridse, whose head
quarters is at Dcl'uniak Springs
Florida
The main purpose of the forest is to
perpetuate, through conservative use
the resources of the territory embraced
within it's boundaries. The carrying out
of this purpose will in no sense of the
word, lock up the natural resources OF
the forest. On the contrary the country
will be more widely opened up and the
resources made more available than be-
fore, and every legitimate enterprise for
grazing, etc. will receive encouragement
by the administration The dead and
matured timber will be opened to pur-
chase, turpcntinc leases will be granted,
and the grazing privilege allowed under
the rules and regulations prescribed by
congress for the national forests. The
use of the resources of the forest car,
be obtained with little or no delay and
without any process of red tape. The
forest service issues a booklet in which
is given full information regarding
national forests and the use of their re.
sources, and this book is now being dis.
tributed by the supervisor among
possible prospective users of the forest
The administration of the forest is
, carried on through a corps of forest
rangers and guards, who are appointed
after passing civil service examination
for the position. This examination was
held in Octoberat DeFuniak Springs and
the field force has been appointed and
is now at work patrolling the forest and
carrying out the regulations OF the
department.
This is the newest of the I46 national
forests now in the United States and
Alaska. The first National forest, or as
it was then known, forest reserve, ever
created in the United States was made
in 1884 by order of the secretary OF the
navy This forest was located along
Choctawahtchee Bay and was after
wards opened to settlement 1t is
rather a strange coincidence that the
very same territory should now be in
cluded in this the latest national forest.

H0WE's GREAT LONDON SHOWS.
Stables a Veritable Horse Fair--Ken-
lucky Thoroughbreds to the Front.

To select the kind Of horses which
have given How-'s Great Shows ma
tional reputation for having the finest
horses of any show on earth, much
time, intelligence, patience and per-
severance was required. For the bag
gage and heavy work the Percheron
type of draft horse was selected, and
for the hippodrome races was chosen
thirty cleancut Kentucky thoroughbred
runners. Each year new stock is Sc
lected, always from the same breeds,
and those that have been SCARED,
blemished or injured are culled out.
The mating up Of the different teams
is an object lesson to the eye, uniform
ity of size, color and style always pre-
dominating When to the beautiful
black, dapple gray and bay horses is
added the cute Shetland ponies, it is
not strange that the lengthy street pa
rade of the Howe's Great London
Shows is a most imposing and pleasing
sight.
When Howe's London Shows exhibits
here citizens will not only find the cir
Gus and menagerie exceedingly worthy
of their patronage, but they will find
that Howe's Horse Stables compose a
veritable horse fair and they should
always be visited. The visitor should
not ask what becomes of these horses
if they become crippled, as they will be
displeased with the answer, which is
that they are fed to the animals.
