A special from Montreal says:
Mayor Guerin has received an ap-
peal from the Automobile Club of Van
couver to use his influence with other
mayors of Canada to work together
so that fine roadway could be con-
structed from Vancouver to Halifax.
The scheme is outlined as follows:
Our minister of public works has
started the building of the road from
Vancouver through the mountains to
the province of Alberta; when this is
accomplished it will be Joined from
the south by the Pacific highway lead
ing from Mexico to Vancouver.
eff the road is continued eastward
it will attract tourists from all over
the continent, and instead of the mill
ions of money that is spent annually
touring Europe. we will be able to
keep some of this money in circula-
ton at home by having an attractive
highway through scenery that cannot
be surpassed in the world.

DEATH or a POPULAR HOTEL


The st. Augustine Record Of Feb.
ruary 20 gives the following account
OF the death of very popular hotel
man. 1t says:
John Anderson, not only popular,
but really beloved by thousands OF
9friends on the East Coast and in the
New England states, passed away
suddenly at Ormand Beach yesterday
morning at o'clock He had been
seriously i'll but few hours and his
sudden death came as a great shock
to his friends throughout the country
Complications resulting from indiges-
ton were the immediate cause of his
death.
The funeral was held yesterday af-
ternoon at o'clock in Mr. Anderson's
orange grove and over fifteen hundred
friends gathered to pay such tribute
as has probably never before been
accorded the memory of man in bust
ness life in Florida. Wealthy hotel
guests, farmers, Italian laborers, SER
wants coal beavers from the furnace
rooms all gathered there and there
were tears in the eyes of those in all
stations in life. The crowd included
those from the highest to the lowest
and the general love and esteem in
which he was held paid the greatest
tribute that could be made to mans
character.
Mr.. Anderson was born in Maine
fifty-nine years ago. He came to
Florida in 1875 and John Price, who
has been associated with him through
the years since then, arrived about
the same time. The East Coast was
then but wilderness and into this
wilderness they delved John Ander-
son had Ratchet and Price a saw
and ak. With those implements they
fashioned a rude hut of palmetto
leaves and there began the career
which brought them to where they are
among the best known hotel men in
the United States.
1t was not until more recent years
that they embarked into the hotel
business. They cleared away the ham
mock about their palmetto shack and
planted an orange grove. 1t was hard
work but they succeeded Both were
popular with the other settlers and
the older residents of VoIusia county
and Mr.. Anderson was once made tax
assessor of the county.
In latter years they embarked into
the hotel business and at the time of
his death Mr. Anderson, together with
Mr.. Price, owned three of the largest
hotels in the White Mountains while
Mr.. Anderson owned the Breton Inn
and Mr.. Price the Ormond hotel at
Ormond Mr. Anderson was as popu-
lar with the hotel guests as with 9TH
ers and his winning personality and
real manhood soon made him known
by the travelling public generally.

TALL OAKS FROM LITTLE AcoRNs
GROW

Golfers Weekly prints this inter-
esting story: "Some three years ago
George S. Lotus Of Minneapolis, re-
former Of the sdo-it-now' type, turned
lup at the Office of James Mammalian, his
lawyer, Jim, he said, i want you to
sue the Pullman company What
forg oh, just sue them, and charge
that their rates are exorbitant. I got
| in from Chicago this morning l had
an upper berth, and couldn't sleep.
And they charged me just as much as
l would have had to pay for lower
Manahan drafted an innocent looking
complaint, saying, in a few words,
that Pullman rates were unjust. There
was no technical verbiage He mall
led this to the Interstate commerce
commission at Washington. Three
months later Manahan was notified by
mail that in ten days a special exam
liner would be in St. Paul, prepared to
hear LOTUS case Up to that date all
the evidence Lotus and his lawyer
had was Lotus one sleepless night on
the train. On the morning of the
hearing the court room was filed with
Iex-Pullman porters. 1t was proved
that the porters received SIS month,
out of which they had to pay for their
meals on the road and their uniforms
They were compelled to replace all
towels, combs and other lost articles.
The public practically paid their sal
aries in tips. This was the small be-
ginning of one of the largest results
yet achieved in the prosecution of any
trust. There was no loud proclama-
ton of the setting of government ma
ehinery in motion. One humble citi-
zen had merely started to saw wood
1t was proved that the Pullman COM
pany earned $4,000 annually on cars
that cost them $4,000; that the por-
tiers made up ten million beds annu-
ally, and the company made in 1907
over $32,00O,000 gross. It's capital had
increased from 100000 to $150,OO0,-
0O0 The end has now come in an or
der from the interstate commerce
commission, reluctantly agreed to by
the Pullman company. reducing its
rates twenty-five per cent, about five
per cent. on lower berths and about
twenty per cent. on upper berths. It
may have significance for some of
our readers that George S. LOTUS is
the close friend and political disciple
of Robert M. LaFollette, while Mana
han is the close friend and apostle of
the Nebraska commoner These two
reformers, working together, have saw
ed travellers at least $2,000,O00 annu-
ally"

LIGHT" HOLDS THE FORT
Reddick, Fla, Feb. 20, 1911.


Mr. Fort, the word Il" should have
been used instead of the word YOU
in my last letter about the commits
sioners, in regard to the lessee's re-
port. / am heartily sorry for this
mistake.
In the Tampa Tribune of January
18th the county commissioners of
Hillsborough made full report of the
county finances, showing up, in detail.
the last years work, thereby giving
the tax payers in that county an OPP
portunity to see how their monies
have been spent; yet it costs too much
to let the people of this county know
how their tax monies are spent.
In The Dixie of February 4th, we
find that the people Of Duval county
had the county commissioners rec
ords audited by the state auditor, and
in the report of the auditor to the
governor he says in part: 1T appears
that there is an enormous floating
debt hanging over the county, unau-
thorized and improper bills have
been paid, and in spite of the stat
|utes making it a penal offense for the
members of the board to contract
with themselves, and mentioning 9TH
|er items, winds up by saying: In our
opinion the county should be reim-
bursed in the sums so wrongfully ta-
ken from it." This last clause refers
to certain items.
Duval county had floating debt of
$273, 900 for population of 1913 peo-
pie. Marion, with population of
rs, GAL, (nearly half black, has a
debt of approximately 100000, and
soon it will be $150,0O0 Duvaps as
sessment being more than four times
that of Marion's and population nearly
three times more.
We do not accuse Marion's COM
missioners of doing like the state au-
Iditor says Duval's commissioners
have done, because we simply don't
know how they have placed us $780,
900 in debt without issuing bonds,
with an increase of receipts of more
than 100 per cent in the last eight
years. And as they have officially re-
fused to tell the public of the county
finances, I am going to send out a pc
tition in each precinct in the county
to let those who desire to have the
governor have the state auditor to au-
dit the commissioners books and to
publish report.
Sign the petition!
Any tax payer in Marion county
who will volunteer to get signatures
/ to the petition, please drop me card,
and | will have petition properly
headed and mail same to him.
heartily thank the commissioners
! for the report they printed in their
Hast proceedings in regard to the road
work in the county.

lions. The kilograms are from ali
parts Of Mexico, including the south
ern and central portions.
Talk of a counter revolution again
was rife to-day. coupled with rumors
of plots by the "Cientifco" element
in Mexico City. and the promiscuous
use of money to accomplish Madero's
downfall and the possibility of mis-
hap to the Madero train, when'it starts

think he should take at least 200
armed men with him. but the rebel

HHIHrI.I tAit III hut HIaH.-H
Washington, D. c., May 23.-The Lor-
line case again was to the fore in the
Senate to-day. a resolution of inquiry,
offered by Senate Martin, the Demo-
cratic leader. intended as q substitute
for the La Toilette and Dillingham; res
olutions, and a continuation OF a speech
by Senator La Toilette furnished the
features. Mr.. La Toilette did not fin
ish to-day, but hopes TO conclude to-
morrow his plea for a reinvestigation
of the bribery charges brought in con-
~nection with the election of the Illinois
Senator.
Mr.. La Toilette reviewed the recent
proceedings OF the Illinois Legislature
relative TO the Lorimer case. He said
he was convinced that there was still
more testimony to be adduced.
The people of the country" said he,
rejected our former verdict as II by
one voice. Nothing ever is settled I'M
I'll II is settled right. It Is Gods eter-
nal justice pulling TO make things
plumb"
He was sure that public opinion had
been right In this case. and. declaring
that he wanted the Senate to view 1T
self in the mirror of such opinion. he
held aloft a huge collection of news
paper clippings condemning the SEN
ate's decision in the case.
Mr.. La Toilette quoted the Senate's
action in the Du Pont case in an effort
to Justify the demand for q rcopening,
contending hat the Senate as we'll as
other tribunals, should exercise the
privilege of reversing It's own proceed
ings. He presented n voluminous
transcript of the Illinois Legislatures
record in the Lorimer case. He read
freely from the testimony by Kohlsaat,
Funk and Hines concerning the use of
Il corruption fund OF slo0, 600. which
1t was charged had been used In in
nuencing votes in L.orimer's behalf.
! He contended that many statements
! made by Witness Kinds would be Q
| en- If tho Senate reopens the case.
The Lorimer situation was further
complicated late to-day by the intro
duction OF a third resolution calling
for an Investigation of the charges Of
bribery in connection with the cleo
tton of the junior Senator from I'LL
nols. The resolution was offered on
behalf of the Democratic minority
by Senator Martin. 1t goes further
than the La Toilette and Dillingham;
resolutions. in that it provides specif-
cally for an inquiry into the lack pot
fund in the Illinois Legislature and its
connection with Lorimer. The Martin
resolution would leave with the Com
m;stee on Privileges and Elections the
prosecution Of the inquiry, and dele
| gates to 1t all the powers OF a court.
The committee is authorized to hold
its sessions at whatever places It
deems most convenient.
