RICH PUBLICATION ADvERTIsES
CITY TO WORLD AND CROWDS
INTO PAGES INVALUABLE IN
FORMATION OF THIS PLACE.

Pensacola" Is the title of the book
let Just issued by the passenger de-
partment of the l.. & N. Railroad. and
a more complete publication of the
kind has probably never been printed.
Certainly none has been published
which crowds into the fifteen pages
more truth about the oldest and tue
most interesting city in the United
States"
The frontispiece is exceptionally we'll
placed. 1t represents an Indian and
his squaw on the bank of a stream,
watching intently the approach of
large sailing vessels, those of the
Spanish explorers. The Indians sit
underneath large trees, and near them
is the up-turned canoe. Other Indians
are also in the picture, watching the
approach Of the strange boats.
Historical Pensacola is next treated
of, the articles being embellished with
some new pictures. Notable are those
of the Plaza, battleships in the bay,
gulf and beach On Santa Rosa Island,
birdseye view of the l.. & n. facili-
ties for exporting, showing the several
wharves and the grain elevator. and
the entrance to Pensacola bay" which
shows large sailing vessel in tow OF

pillows are all to be seen in this
view

Various engineers of the u. S. army
claim Pensacola bay the finest harbor
on the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is "a miles
from the extreme end Of East Bay to
the entrance from the gulf, and with
a water surface OF nearly $50 square
miles. For a distance Of ten miles
from the entrance, vessels drawing 30
feet of water can move easily and
safely. The harbor is landlocked in
every sense of the word, affording un-
equalled safety to shipping. =

weather are the unusual facilities Of

THE PAVEMENT
ON PALAFOX ST.
EVERYTHING WILL BE IN READi-
NESS FOR MARDI GRAs SEASON,
AS WORK IS BEING CARRIED
RAPIDLY FROM THE WHARF.

At 5 p. m. yesterday, when the brick
pavement workmen left the Job on
South Palafox street, the concrete
foundation had advanced to the Main
street intersection on the west side of
Pslafox, while the brick itself is COM
pIeted on the west side of .--e street
and between the double car tracks
from the head of Palafox wharf to the
intersection of Magnolia street, where
the Gulf Machine Works shop stands.
Up to that point, the finishing touches
had been placed on the work, and the
changes in the once bad looking street
are great. The progress northward
with the briek-laying has been de-
layed because of the double track
which centres the street. The brick
have to be Clipped at times to fit con-
cisely between the rails, and this holds
back the rapid work OF Major" the
swift brick layer. BY Tuesday or
Wednesday at the latest, the work will
be completed and the street with the
new paving may be thrown open to
the public.
Yesterday afternoon blowing had
progressed rapidly on the east side OF
the street, and one of the gentlemen
in charge of the work yesterday stat
ed that not only would the west side
of the street be ready for the carnival
kings arrival, but the entire street
would be opened, statement that will
cause much pleasure to Pensacolians,
for they want the streets to be as pre-
sentable as possible upon the occasion
of the carnival next month.
The wood block pavement was car
ried from Gregory southwark to Chase,
and yesterday a junction had been
made with the Chase street paving at
the county court house. Concrete has
been placed ready for the blocks from
Chase street to the north side of Gar
den, and this side of Palafox will be
hurried to completion. The other, or
west side. viii be delayed somewhat
on account of the structure around the
San Carlos hotel. Mr.. Bushnell, of
the bond trustees, was looking over
the ground yesterday and is endeavor-
ing to have both sides OF this section
of Palafox ready for the public within
the next eighteen working days, hich
will bring it UP to the date Of the car
nival.

vELoPED IMPORTANT FACTS
FROM A COMMERCIAL STAND
PoINT-sMALL CROWD SEES
FLIGHTS.
BY Associated Press.


Los Angeles, Jan. 15.-While devoid
Of sensational incidents, the Interna-
tional aviation meet today developed
important facts from a commercial
standpoint. Both PauIhan and Cur
tiss, in their biplanes, demonstrated
the undermining capacities or their
machines, lifting in heavy ground ana
flying against a stiff breeze from the
ocean. The flights today were made
before a small crowd on account Of
rain.
Paulhan tried to beat Curtiss's ten
lap record, but failed, and Curtiss
tried to beat his own one lap record
and failed. Willard and Hamilton
failed in similar attempts.
Paulhan announced that he win on
the last day Of the meet try for the
Michelin cup for long distance flights.
Henry Farman, OF England, now holds
the cup for fight of LA miles in
four hours, seventeen minutes and
thirty-three seconds.
Paulhan was the first to rise today
and with mud sticking to every part
OF his machine that touched the
ground he assembled in the face of the
wind. He made two circles of the
course and was followed by Curtiss in
a preliminary fight. Hamilton then
assembled and Knakenshue, in a dirigi-
BILE, dropped dummy bombs within q
twenty-foot square at height of one
hundred feet. This is in line with the
army test of Thursday. It has been
determined that aeroplanes and dirigi.
bles can float over a gunpit and drop
bombs accurately.

WHO AND WHAT
ARE ESK|M0S?
HOW THESE PEOPLE IMPRESSED
EXPLORERS NANSEN, EGEDE
AND PROF. DAWkINs.

The question of who the Eskimos
are is most usually answered by de
scription of their life and characters
tics, says a writer in the Edinburgh
Scotsman Although gerat deaI
ought to : e known about the race now
at first hand, since there has been sc

seem to rely very largely on the in

English in 1745. Hans Egede was q
missionary from Denmark to Green.
land, where he labored 25 years. His
book is entitled "A Description OF
Greenland" and contains a great deal
that is extremely quaint. The Eskimo
was then what he is now, excepting
SO far as he had deteriorated through
contact with civilized" men.
The EsA-mo is by no means a saw
age. He has his standard of moral
rectitude, his religion, his social Gus
toms and his folklore. On the west
coast of Greenland he is mostly q
processing Christian, as result Of the
Danish missions. On that coast the
race is largely mixed with European
blood, mostly Danish, but the life Is
purely Eskimo AS becomes a race
with the antiquity which Prof. Boyd
Dawkins attributes to il, it had, even
in Egede's day attained to the state
Of having a smart set" The mem
bers of this set behaved in the time
of Hans Egede very much as we are
led to believe the similar set behave
in our own country, their house par
ties" being models of what decorum
would forbid.
Methods of Wooins.
The method of wooing is somewhat
different among the Eskimos from
that practiced in our country. The
young man sometimes accompanied by
friends or relations sets out for the
hut Of the lady of his choice and car
ries her off, her family usually con-
senting. AS a matter of propriety she
has to resist strenuously. even if she
likes It, and occasionally the damsel is
such a stickler for etiquette that she

Gown. The method seems to have
some advantages over our own uncer-
tain, tedious and expensive method.
An Eskimo husband enjoys the priv
ilege of being allowed to beat his
wife without anyone thinking any the
worse of him But sometimes, ac-
cording to hansen, the privilege is
assumed by the other side, as in a
case to which he refers. When a
mans wife dies the women surround
him and bewail the dead, while he re-

Like a Christmas Tree
BY Albert W. eiIchrIst Florida Weekly

I can only estimate the significance
and Importance of this conference of
governors by my experience from
such conference in the past.
1t was my good fortune to be for
a week last October on the steamer
excursion down the Mississippi river.
The governors held daily conferences.
Several elucidated the manner In
which some particular governmental
problems were solved in their respec-
tive states, all of which was more or
less interesting. OF the several fed
eral matters discussed, it was spec
tally interesting to me to hear the
various Republican governors discuss
ing state rights, disputing the right
of interference Of the general govern
ment on such lines. 1t kinder" made
me smile. In formal discussions of
such matters in public, in Washing
ton, 1t is probable that such express
ions would not be made.
The result of this conference made

advocates leaving Greenland to ths
Eskimos. so that they may lead their
simple lives Of forcing a sustenRnce
from the ocean and the icefield. But
the way to the pole will not allow
this. And SO the race which, accord
ing to Boyd Oawkins, has survived
perhaps more than $4,000 years of
struggle with the hardships OF nature
may go down before the blessing of
civilization and cease to exist, accord
ing to hansen, the sun will rise ana
set and waste its glory over de-
serted Land. Only once in q while will
some storm-driven ship skirt the desc
'ate coasts. But the long winter
nights the dead will dance in Shin
mering sheets of light over the eternal
silence of the snow fields.''

parts Of his body he carries scars APP

nose. This is also according to Nan
sen.
Respect for Dead.
Hans Egede does not bear out Prof
Boyd Dawkins completely on the sub
ject of their Lack OF respect for the
dead. He tells of their aversion to
ward any contact with the dead, but
he describes their method Of burial
and funeral customs. The nearest re
lations carry the body to burial
which ls carried out by merely plac.
ing a quantity of stones over it. But
Egede says that II the deceased has
no friend or relation he may lie long
enough where he dies. Considering
that this refers to the most civilized
Eskimos of Greenland, 1t is probably
sufficient confederation OF the profes.
sor's information. The chief charac.
teristics of the race are honesty
cheerfulness and peacefulness. They
seldom quarrel, and the testimony OF
traders is that they pay what they
owe with punctuality and scrupulous-
ness.
A question which is as interesting
and important as their origin is their
destiny. Nansen's book is rather sad
reading on this subject. BY associa-
ton with Europeans the race is be-
coming mixed, and the hybrid race is
not equal to the pure race in the char
acteristics which make a good Eski-
mo. They have been injured and
cheated by traders in the past, al
though the regular traders now deal
honestly by them. But in this connec-
ton it is disappointing to note the
triumph with which a recent traveller
details how each of his crew became
rich by the trading of almost worth
less articles for valuable skins. The
introduction of guns has turned tribes
into fowlers to the neglect of their
ancient seal fishing, and while they
are exterminating birds they are for.
