Material on this subject 1 s being gathered from such districts IS Bakersfield. Imperial. Yuma. Salt River valley and Rio Grande valley in i New Mexico and Texas.
 The requests from Arizona to the department for information on pump | ng show that there is much activity in this direction. and one of the spec al fields to be covered is that of giv- ing advice to those who are provid ing water for land In this way. It is eident that much development by pumping is taking place in many parts of the territory.

Merry Fish FRY Party.

It's mighty nice, pleasant and inter-
esting to make new friends, especially
when these new friends are charming
young people in love with themselves
and all the world. viewing life from the
merry standpoint Of good will and good
cheer.
Recently it was the writer's happy lot
to be an invited guest to go seining and
fish frying with jolly party of young
folks. Pine Island on Sampson lake
missed many q song and story and q
beautiful scene by our not getting there
that memorable evening.
Our party didn't care q continental
whether Alligator creek was ever to be
canalized or public roads sutomobilized.
The philosophy of life to all was that
the cheerful always die Young because
they never grow old-that years do not
make age. 1t is all the same, whether
sixteen or sixty.
Mr. and Mrs. J. ". Edwards were the
venerable chaperons. Did you ever see
q motherly hen 90 frantic when she be-
held her duck-egg chickens plunge into
water? Well, that was her! There
were Misses Minnie, Mamie and Inez
Harter-twO Of whom were heavenly
twins-and Misses Ona Edwards and
Eva Prescott Add Messrs. Clarence
Hart, L. G. McClaran, Doc Harter, Will
Jones, &. L. Peek and Hon. Captain
Mailie Jones, and all Of them was us.
The seine came up missing just where
the Tampa & Jacksonville railroad will
cross the Srarke and Sampson road on
its way to Jacksonville via Starke> and
Old Man Kingsley's lake
We had no seine aud we were not at
Sampson lake, but we were all at sea
with hearts tiuttering for supper in the
lovely night breeze on a level sward of
pine needles with the green grass grow
ing all around and around, and not q
fish. This was holy-woggus!
! \ bright fire was built SO we could
see each other laugh under the hungry
stars. Our commodore, Captain Mallie
Jones, sifted sand to Farmer Prevatt'.
and soon returned with chickens, farm,
er, farmers boys. a fiddle and banjo
And while the pillau boiled us boys and
girls danced all denominstionsls known
on the face of the globe and in the good
old town of Starke. After a merry
supper, and dozen alligator songs by
our renowned captain, we all voted thai
chicken pillau the best f1sh-fry of TIT
season, and chorussed home.

MAYOR DISCUSSES TOWN Affairs.
Tells Why Marked Public improvements
Have Not Lately Been Aadg.i

To the Citizens Of Starke:
I call your attention to the tact that
the street committee is having the. STREETS
dltched and graded and are making the
best use possible Of such funds a are at
their disposal for this purpose.
1t has been the policy Of the present
council to free the town Of dept ana
keep it 30. Two years ago the town was
badly in debt and scrip far bsldw par.
Laborers who would have gladly worked
for 81 per day cash demanded $3.50 to
$1.75 in scrip. Thus the depreciation Of
scrip was q direct loss 10 the so1n and
not, as some citizens have cos.tended, .
loss to the individuals to wham it was
issued.
The first problem which confronted
the present council was to p Sof this
indebtedness and put the towrfs business
on cash basis. To do this without
raising the millage meant rigid economy
in all departments and in soins cases
much needed repairs, ditchink, ETC., had
to be neglected for the time being.
Sanitary conditions, however, Shave not
been neglected. On the contrary, since
the enactment of Sanitary Ordinance
No. 81 some months ago bsI;eve that
the general sanitary condition. are BET
ter than ever before. ActinS Snder the
provisions of this ordinance, ! resolve
daily detailed report Of thescayenger's
work and the noticeable abSSnse Of lies
this summer and fall Is evifsnce Of the
fact that our citizens use hIc . ,ffeely on
their premises. y
Imake the above statement bff&cts to
show the citizens why no tsrgel sums
have been expended on gene;Hl improve
ments.
The street committee is having. q con-
siderable amount of work coae IN the
streets and I want to ask every caitizen
to cooperate with them by cleaning up
their premises, cutting weefs; etc. I
also want to ask owners of vacant lots
to have them cleaned up and {he trash
burned. In connection with shts I wish
to say that it is the scavengsf'S duty to
haul away from your premtsss only sucil
refuse as cannot be burned, taeh IS tin
cans, etc.
In spite of the fact that we Rave had
offers to rent portions OF curl streets for
market OarCiens dnrin, the n@&f 1annrner
contend that we have the pssltiest and
best town between Jwksc1fille and
Tampa, and if we will MAKE the proper
effort, We can have the clesrest.

FELL INTO MINER CANAL.
LuCian GeigeP Sustained Painful H.
iuFieS Saturday Night.

An accident happened Saturday night
by which the Miner ditch came near
claiming two victims Messrs. Lucian
Geiger and s. F. Morgan were detained
in Starke until after dark on account of
a heavy rain. They live east of town
and rode home in Mr.. Geiger's wagon,
drawn by a blind horse. When they
came to ths bridge across the Miner ca
nal at the foot of Kingsley street the
darkness prevented them from seeing
the exact location of the bridge and the
horse was unable to find his own way.
The consequence was that the wagon
ran off the south end of the bridge,
turning over and falling on top of the
occupants, pinning them to the bottom
AS luck would nave it, the great amount
of water fallen had not yet had time to
more chan partly fill the ditch, so that
the men had their heads above water
and were able TO cry Justify for help.
Richard Reynolds, q colored man, heard
them and extricated them from their
dangerous plight.
Mr.. Morgan escaped with a few
bruises, but Mr.. Geiger Jared worse.
He received a deep cut under the right
eye and so many bruises and Commissions
that he had TO be taken to q physician,
and he will probably have to stay in his
bed for some time TO come.
