wholly inadequate. Second - by the
Cuban fruit coming into market three
weeks later than usual and the Florida
crop two weeks earlier both crops be-
ing considerably larger than ever be-
fore. Third-because our growers have
"signed-up" such large proportion of
their crop that buyers have been dis
couraged and left.
All of these causes can be largely
remedied if our growers will take in
teligent action. Let every grower I'M
mediately wire or write our members
of Congress and Senators to secure a
duty of not less than 40 cents per crate
on Cuban pineapples. Let them organ
ize and formulate plan Of consoida-
ton and routing shipments in Fort
Pierce to the various markets, so they
may get a better rate and quicker SER
vice. Let them urge the coming of
buyers and protect them against paying
tribute to the men who are now hand
ling large part of the crop On COM
mission under contract for pay regard
less of market conditions. And let
them use every effort to get reduc-
ton in freight rates to all markets.

THE Miami Metropolis in its issue of
last Saturday takes THE TRIBUNE to
task for the rates we published as those
existing for pineapples between Hav-
ana and Cincinnati, via Knights Key,
claiming that the rate between Knights
Key and Cincinnati is 81 cents instead
of 57.2 cents as we published. The Me-
tropolis is wrong. The rates we pub
lished are correct. They have been APP
proved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and can be obtained from
any transportation line east of the Mis-
sissipi and south of the Ohio. There is
no occasion for you to be wrong, broth
er. The rates the Metropolis published
Claiming them to be over the route
mentioned) is the rate from Havana to
Cincinnati via New Orleans or New
York, where the rail haul is 80 cents.
Here is the correct Cuban rate From
points of production to Hovana, s to IL
cents; lghterage at Havana, 3 cents;
Havana to Knights Key, 63 cents;
Knights Key to Cincinnati, 57.2 cents;
duty, ID cents; total, SS,5 to 81. 5 cents,
against Fort Pierce rate of SO cents.

GEORGE SCAMMELL
IS COMMITTED To
ASYLUM

| Hagard and eareworn in appearance
and incoherent in speech, George Seam
nell, arrested Saturday afternoon at .
o'elek on the charge of insanity, was
arraigned in the probate court yester-
day afternoon at O'Clock and com
mitted to the territorial asylum for the
insane. He left here last night for
the asylum in Phoenix in custody of
Sheriff Smitd.
Seammell insisted in the probate
court that 1e is in communication with.
the angels and member of the Hobs
low Christian Association. He insists
that when the angels are absent that
he is constantly chased by a woman
with a razor intent on killing him.
He declares that the woman attempted
to get into the insane ward of the Jail
10 attack him and that he is in con-
slant dread of being carved by her.
In appearance Scammell is pale and
eareworn. He appears to have sunered
from the lack of food. His haggard
look indicates that he has been in
want and suffering from fear. Neigh
bors cared for him several days before
his arrest when they realized his pitt
fu, condition.
He is a native of Ireland and 81
years old. He has been a resident of
this county eleven years. He believes
that a sister living in Australia is his
only relative, but says he has not
heard from ner in many years.
Seammell's only earthly possessions
are an unpatented placer claim and
shack Immediately east of the Fort
Whipple reservation on the McCabe

PICKS UP NUGGET
At SANTA FE
STATION
Transfer Man Wakes
Up to Wealth at His
Toe Tips
tFrom Tuesdays Daily

With stories of rich mineral finds
arriving daily from all over the terri
tory, \. J. Gleason, who although the
owner of a transfer outfit knows a
trick or two about mining, made the
startling discovery that the sands of
the pebble dash finish on the railroad
depot are highly aUriferous. He pick
ed up a gold nugget of placer origin
that fell from the pebble dash plaster
He was amazed at first at nis find IN
til informed by a pioneer that the
gravel beds of Granite Creek, where
the stony ingredient of the pebble
dash material was gathered, are known
to be rich in gold since pioneer days.
Startled at his find, Gleason loaned
the nugget to F. NJ. Plummer, who has
charge of the baggage room, with in
structions to keep the find a secret un-
til tine railroad officials were informed
of it, so that steps can be taken to
prevent the ruin of the walls by pros
peeting vandals.
When seen last night by a Journs
Miner representative, Gleason any
Plummer both admitted the discovery
Of gold in the depot wall. They ex-
hibited the nugget and requested that
the find be kept secret until today,
when W. A. Drake, vice president and
general manager, will be informed of
the startling discovery. Instructions
will probably be issued to depot EN-
ployes to prevent strangers from pros
peoting for other nuggets.
Where the pebbles for the pebble
dash finish of the depot came from is
being kept secret by those on the in
side of the find. 1t is believed that a
general rush to make locations viii
follow as soon as the place becomes
generally known.
The newly-fouud nugget has the APP
pearanee of being of placer origin.

BITTER WAR ON lNTEMpERAMCE
SOLDIERS FIGHTING THIS CURSE
GREATLY CHEERED.
It is a Poison.

Is alcohol a poison? 1t may seem
q little strange that science regards
any substance as a food and also as
a poison, but this point can be cleared
up when we take into consideration
the definition of q poison. The pop7
ular conception of a poison is some
thing which is capable of producing
death very promptly, but the scien-
tific definition Is less eXacting, and is
briefly this: ANY substance which,
when applied to the body, or digested,
causes disease" The term is a rela-
tive one and means that a substance
to be a poison does not necessarily
need to be capable Of producing death
instantaneously. Many articles which
are used as foods, if INDUCED III to
excess, will produce irritation and
disease, and hence are, in a technical
sense, poison. Psychologists classify
poisons as corrosive, irritant and mar
cotic. Alcohol ranks with tobacco,
chloroform, caffeine, ether and nit
rous oxide gas as a narcotic poison.
The effects are very similar, the first
being that of a stimulant; the second,
that of a narcotic, and if pushed too
far will produce death. The reason
why the system can tolerate so much
alcohol is because it becomes gradu-
ally immune in the same way as i'm
munity is produced by a%ntitoxins. AS
a poison it's first effect Is that Of a
stimulant, increasing functional ac-
tivity for a time, but its second effect
is that of a %paralyZer, so affecting the
brain cells that they refuse to perform
their functions, and we have the
bunting of the higher sensibilities.
the incoherent speech and the stag.
gering gait. BY its local action the
secretions of the stomach and other
digestive organs are changed, and it
produces structural changes in the
liver and kidneys. Persons subjected
to it are more liable to disease, more
easily fatigued, and are more suscep-
tible to heat or cold. If immunity
has not been produced, it is perfectly
possible to produce death if sufficient
ly large doses are given.
