ATTENDANCE NOT LARGE
Captain Cook and Other Miami Citizens
Attend Enthusiastic Over Proposed
improvements of Santa Lucia Inlet

The meeting of the East Coast Fruit
and Vegetable Growers Association
called at Jensen for the 18th, met witt
President G. A. Robinson as presiding
officers. In the absence of Sec. Il. V.
Moore w. K. Hardee was named as
acting Secretary for the meeting. The
President read an interesting address,
reciting some of the things that the
Association had done and were now at.
tempting to do in the interest of the
East Coast.
Following the Presidents address,
Captain Geo. F.. Cook VINO has been
operating the Cook Line of water
transportation from Jacksonville to
Miami was called upon, and gave some
very interesting data which shows the
Importance of system of water trans
portation along the East Coast, and
brought very clearly to the minds of
every one present. the necessity of a
strenerOus effort on the part of our
citizens to leave no stone unturned to
secure from congress an appropriation
for that purpose. 1t is very much to
be regretted that there we're so few of
our citizens who felt sufficient interest
in this important meeting to be present,
and Capt Cook expressed surprise at
the lack of interest manifested.
Major II. Redmond Smith and Mr..
Harry r. Payne, citizens of Miami also
interested in 1.-THE water transpOrta.
ton in connection with Captain Cook
addressed the meeting along the same
lines as set forth by captain Cook. All
three of these gentlemen are very en-
thusiastic over the proposed improve
ments as outlined for Santa Lucia inlet
and stand ready to lend every possible
assistance in securing the apprOpria-
ton, but they would have been much
better pleased if they could have seen
a meeting called for such an important
subject more largely attended.

ing members of the association handled
the question of the evils we are trying
to remedy in a business like manner,
urging The unremitting efforts of every
in a continuation of the fight.
W. r. Hardee, speaking for st. Lucie
county was firmly of the opinion that
the end sought would come through
continued effort of the growers if they
would avail themselves of all the adj
vantages and Improvements which were
possible, and did not confine their COM
plants to minor matters in the way of
seeking to correct existing conditions.
As the attendance was small, the in
vitatiOn for membe ship was only re-
spOnded to by Mr.. K. r. Ricou, who in

COMPARISON SHOWS
UNFAIR ORANGE RATE

A car of oranges should be carried
from DeLand to New York for $50, 90,
instead of $50 90. An engine will haul
80 or more cars, earning 81, 5000 90 or
more for single trip North, and about
one third as much on return trip. 1t
takes five or six days to make the trip
and a dozen hands, all told, to manage
the train. The rate is too great. 1t
will never be any less as long as the
growers will pay the extOrtiOnate price.
He will continue to pay the extOrtiOnate
price until he untes in business and
politics and forces the price to it's proper
place. The railroad gets from so to
90 cents a box for the fruit 1t .hauls
whether the growers get any thing or
not. The grower takes all the risk and
gets the least. This is not meant as a
TRADE against railroads. 1t is just a
olain statement of fact. There has
never been an overprOductiOn of or
anpes. There has never been enough
oranges grown to supply the consumers
with all they wanted at fair price.
Butter sells at 40 cents a pound IN De-
Land: but the butter consumer dOsen't
nav 20 cents pound for freight. Hay
sells at $22. 90 ton, but the hay pro-
Queer dosen't pay $ll.00 ton to the
railroad for freight. Why should the
orange grower pay one-half the amount
his crop sells for to the railroad? There's
a screw loose somewhere, and it will
have to be found and tightened up be-
fore the orange grower can get just
share of the money paid for hi; labor.
