JENSEN BANK MOVES
HERE NOVEMBER 1ST

Two weeks ago THE TRIBUNE an
nounced that Fort Pierce would have a
new bank before the first of November,
and that statement was verified Tues
day when the announcement was made
public that the st. Lucie County Bank,
of Jensen, would move to Fort Pierce,
and be in operation in the Carlton stone
building by November lst.
H. B. Race, of Jackson. lille, president
of the bank, and j. K. Williams, Jr.,
cashier, were in town Tuesday, making
the arrangements for the transfer and
authorized the announcement that the
bank would positively open for business
on the date given. Arrangements are
now being made for the erection of a
modern banking building on the Tucker
lot at the corner of Orange avenue and
Pine street, to be the home of the new
institution, but, of course, it will be
several months before such structure
can be erected.
The capital stock of the bank will be
increased to $25. 900, and majority of
the board of directors will be citizens
of Fort Pierce. The officers will be:
H. B. Race, of Jacksonville, president;
G. S. Tucker, of Fort Pierce, vice.
president, and j. X. Williams, Jr.,
cashier.
The rapid growth of Fort Pierce and
surrounding country seems to justify
an additional financial institution, and
our citizens trust it will meet that meas
ure of success to which it is entitled.

THE attention of our readers is called
to the proposed amendments to the
constitution of Florida, as published on
our front page. We would particularly
call the attention of the "local self
government" voters to the fact that
one of these amendments proposes to
give to the county of Escambia the
right to establish Court of Record for
that county. 1t is said that the people
of Escambia have voted in favor of the
establishment of this court, but they
cannot have it unless the majority of
voters of Florida allow it. Where does
local government" come in? Suppose
you will have to admit that Florida is a
STATE, and not confederacy of coun-
ties, as the iquorites contend. with
power to make independent laws.

A most unique and remarkable char
acter, attractive and pleasing speaker,
full of fun and witty sayings and will
give you fifty laughs in sixty minutes.
That's the man who is coming here
the Goth. We have known him of old.
1t is safe to say nothing like him has
ever hit Fort Pierce before. He stands
easily at the head of all our Southern
lecturers along his line. He is an ex-
pert and has covered the entire south,
and many other sections of our country
carrying sunshine, pleasantly and logic
with him everywhere. To have heard
him once, means you will hear him
again. It you don't take advantage of
this opportunity to hear him, you'll be
sorry of it when he is gone and you
have heard about his speech.
In short, this man is one of the mar
wells of the age. Having had his back
broken. Frustrated upon his bed for
seven years, making his mark in the
literary world at the same time, now
upon his crutches and propped by
plaster paris jacket, editing a splendid
weekly paper which circulates all over
the South and literally setting a blaze
wherever he speaks, is this stirring
speaker.
Now pin this up on your desk and
look at it every day until the 2Oth and
then 60 to hear Upshaw speak and you
will always be glad you did it.

LAUNDRYMAN FELL DEAD

Last Saturday when Augustus Pi
quet, the deliveryman for the Black
foot Steam Laundry. delivered a be.
lated package to Sagehurst, Mrs
Trego told him that the table cloths
napkins and other linen done by them
that week was better than usual, and
that she wanted to- congratulate Man
ager Smith on the high standard they
had reached in the work.
Figuratively speaking, Mr.. Piuuet
fell dead on the spot, but he immedi-
ately recovered and said, "Well I
thank you 1t is so seldom any
body says good word for the laund-
ry it seems too good to be true. I
know Mr. Smith and all the girls will
be pleased to hear this"
Later in the evening when a friend
was visiting at the house, the matter
was mentioned, and the friend said,
well, we talked about how nicely
the washing and ironing was done
this week, but we didn't let them
know 1t. I'd be afraid If told them
that they would think we were easy
and willing to put up with anything"
The man who operates laundry
or a newspaper or water system or
a light plant or any other public SER
vice, can generally expect to hear
plenty of complaints If things 60
wrong. and a great silence when
patrons are we'll pleased.

SCPERINTENDENTS AT POCA-
TELLO

There was meeting of count,
superintendents at Pocatello Tuesday
to LAY plans for the summer institute
for teachers, and five counties were
represented, Bingham, Bannock, Bear
Lake, Fremont and Lincoln.
The institute for the eastern coun-
ties have been held the last week
IN August, but the primary election
occurs on the last Tuesday in August
under the new law, and to hold the
institute at that time would be to dis
franchise the teachers, and the last
week in October was selected.
There may not have been any in
tent to favor the growers of beets
and potatoes, but certainly it will
give the farmer chance to have his
children at home for eight days Just
at the time this work should be fin
ished.
The matter of who is to instruct
the teachers at the institute was a
one, and Miss Harriet
wood of Fremont county was selected

meeting at Washington, D. c., the
1rst OF March, to select instructors,

GOOD ORE NOW BEING MINED

Word was received from Tecoma
Nevada, Thursday that two feet of
sand carbonate ore had been struck
in the Old Tecoma Mine recently TAX
en- over by Blackfoot and Salt Lake
people. Also that Little Butte from
present indications should be in ore
by driving tunnel ten feet. The
Iron Mask company are now taking
ore out daily and expect to make
shipment soon, the tunnel being now
in two hundred feet. The ore found
at this depth being similar to ore in
the Old Tecoma. The Mineral Noun
tain company will begin active work
March 1st, preparations being made
to sink on Bromide Silver discovery
recently made by G. F. Whipple, su-
perintendent of the property.

THE CITY ON THE PLAINS
Great Canal System Turns the Sage
Brush Plains Into Verdant
Fairy Land

D. Fl. Blossom was here from Aber.
deem Friday to file some maps with
the land Office, relative to the unfin-
ished condition of certain points in
the American Falls Canal. The ten
years allowed for construction ex-
pired last July, and the federal gov
ernment was asked to extend the
time in which to complete it. There
are some places on the line where
work will be done the coming sum-
mer, eXcavatlng, or strengthening
tended.
The incomplete condition of the
canal in no way effects the title for
the settler, but merely delays the
date when the canal can be turned
over to the settlers.
We asked Mr.. Blossom for infor-
nation about the town of Aberdeen,
and he replied that they are selling
few lots each week without max
ing any particular effort to push
them, and that it is their policy to
let things take their course so the
property will be taken by people who
will be residents, rather than by
speculators.
A company has been formed among
local people to start another lum-
ber yard, known as the lola Lumber
company, and they expect to erect a
two story building to be occupied by
a bank and store, Offices on the Sec
ond floor, and a public hall on the
third floor.
The townsite company will put in
a water system this spring, and fifty
thousand gallon steel tank has al
ready arrived.

ANOTHER INSTITUTE REPORT
j. S. Bonham of Rigby Writes of the
Institute at BlackfOOt-A More
Cheerful View

In our report of last weeks insti-
tute we criticised speakers for not
sticking to their subjects, and for
holding the floor after they had Civ
en- what they knew of the topic as
signed. Mr.. Bonham of Rigby felt
that he was not given square deal
in the report, and submits a state
ment for publication which follows.
We had engagements that kept us
away from the evening session. 1t
happened that three speakers had
very kindly offered to let others
speak first, and take their turns at
the last session. Mr.. Bonham prob
ably did not know that he was called
the first of these three, and that sub
jects of particular interest were also
to be taken up by the others.
