VOX POPULI.
SHOULD PLANT PECAN
TREES FOR SHADE

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The suggestion of Dir. Geo. ". John
ston in recent number Of The Journ-
al to plant pecan trees along the high
ways for shade is good one. Mr.
Albert T. Jennings has set out miles
OF pecan trees along the public high
way" he tells US. Why should not
every other land owner along our
public roads do the same?
Pecan avenue in DeXland is anotf1-
er good example. The avenue is so
feet wide and will have a roadway 80
feet wide with a strip on either side
10 Feet wide for the trees and side
walk. In each space between the
pecan trees will be planted a Grape
Myrtle. furnishing throughout the
summer months great clusters Of deli
cately fringed flowers of a purplish
crimson hue, more attractive than but
taking the place of, the lilac of the
north.
Imagine this avenue ten years
hence running along the high ridge
between Spring Brook and Young's
Branch from the western boundary Of
Dexiand to the landing on the beauti-
full Escambia river at Dexter Park, -
formerly known as Lower Bluffs
one OF the natural show places of
West Florida. At this point these
noted old bluffs form a horse shoe
bend In the Escambia and raise alb
ruptly on the west bank to the park
60 feet above the waters edge It is
known that the owner Of this land.
Mr.. Chas. A. Dexter, has been offered
large sums for the land now set aside
for a park by parties who wished to
convert 1t into private estate to the
exclusion Of the public. This would
prove a great inducement to a less
public spirited citizen, but Mr. Dexter
declares (f the privilege is not abus-
ed that Dexter Park will remain open
as a permanent play ground for the
public and IS therefore not for sale at
any price.
On the west side OF the county is
the swiftly running Perdido river
with many beauty spots along Its
banks where there is room for some

men will be employed Tho govern
ment's work should not, all be done on
the Atlantic coast, and the Pensacola
yard is amply equipped and should be
given its pro rata of the work.
The location of the Pensacola navy
yard il an ideal one. There is plenty
oflwater and the largest vessels Of the
Us1fsod States navy can enter withou.
psaaek The forts and batteries guard
inEfnnn harbor offer absolute protection
to ships from the attack Of any foreign
pewers.
There has been no logical reason why
Mo yard should be abandoned. Poll
Gos Is the cause for the discrimination
Of the Atlantic coast where all
aa&Sths work is given. and the big plant
on tho gulf coast remains idle.
What we want is an open navy yard.
The reports for Pensacola have been
favorable in the house and if the SEN
ators and representatives get down to
work there are bright prospects for the
|re-opening Of the navy yard.

goods he purchased and because when
he gets his prize package he hasn't
anything worth having after he's got It.
Such schemes ought to be reserved
for country towns-they are out of
keeping with Pensacola's metropolitan
nssportions. You don't find, the sue
usssful business men of the big cities
usang them-why should any success
tut Pensacola merchant Use them?
Tho Journal sincerely hopes that no
Pensacola merchant will be drawn into
any more Of these schemes. They are
profitable only to the man who sells
them. Why therefore should any Pen
sacola merchant Or Pensacola con-
sumner pay tribute to him?

a park or two for the convenience %
the public. All through the county
are many delightful shady places in
the piney thickets and along the
branches or streams that could be
made attractive for picnics and other
public gatherings.
These several parks Joined by good
roads lined with stately shade trees
such as the pecan becomes in few
years, would make our own Escambia
county still more of q paradise.
Who'll be the next to plant pecans
along their frontage on the public

The boys ran home by way of the
Slade house from where they tel
ephoned their mother and from where
help was telephoned for. Mr.. Knut-
son. meanwhile had hurried to the
hole and SO had Mr.. Tellinghoff and
they were in the water searching for
the boy when Druggist Edison who
finally recovered the body arrived.
Mr.. Edison found the body in water
that was about up to his chin. There
was no water in the lungs and it is
presumed that the boy died from .
shock to the heart. He was probably
very warm when he jumped into the
water and the water was cold. The
coroner was notified but concluded
there was no need of an inc uest.
Charley-or "Swinney" as the boys
called him was popular with his
school mates and teachers, and had
many friends who join with the fam
lily in mourning his sad death. The
f,ereaved family elsewhere thank
their neighbors and friends. They do
not feel that ii was an avoitlable ac-
cident though the shock is no less
painful on that account.

"Lynden's Championship Aspirations

ionship aspirations are not even frost
bitten. l think the American must
have a market gardener doing sports
for it. Lynden has played nine games
this season and the one Sunday was
the first one lost. According TO Ho-
vie that gives us percentage of 1888
which is some percentage believe me,
when compared with any other team
in the county that has played more
than two games. If / have kent track
right it is about 1888 higher than The
