In the meantime, We will keep
on fishing and logging and devel-
oping the territory as far as we
are allowed, and it is no sign of
weakness to fondly recount the ad-
vantages that a little conservation
of conservation would lend to a
struggling frontier.
In the matter of the restricted
development of coal lands it has
been stated that il Alaskan fields
had not been loched up, We would
be selling coal to, instead OF buy
ing from British Columbia today.
The Copper River and Northwest
ern Railroad, the most important
road in Alaska, and which runs
through conservation-locked coal
beds, would not be obliged to use
California oil for fuel and would
be moving six hundred tons of cop
per ore per day instead OF sixty.
Transportation OF general freight
from southern shipping points
could be made cheaper. If the
territory was allowed to offer any
inducements to pulp manufacturers
except year to year lease that
might at any time be recalled,
many millions in capital would be
expended willingly Tor the slopes
of the unnumbered Alaskan hills

So much for Alaska in general

We have no coal fields to develop,
vet cur general fright and fuel bill
are yearly increasing. The fact
that satisfactory lease or the
right to purchase este has kept 4
large pulp manufacturing plan

ries is another score. But the

Wrangell sawnill will cut more
lumber and boxes during 1912 than
it has any previous year. Three
new canneries will be built to op-
crate during 1912. The one at
Point Ward is under construction
now. The Point Buclare cannery
will be under way by January Ist
and the cannery proposition just

the trade drawn to Wrangell by

preparing them for cultivation. Prop.
erly prepared the soil of the swamp
lands will nourish succession of ex-
hausting crops. such as sugar cane,
without apparent loss of fertility. The
greater part of the swamp lands proper
are in east and south Florida, although
there are other bodies in the northern,
middle and western parts of the state
The soils of the Everglades differ
little from those of the small swamps.
The soil Is composed almost entirely of
decomposed vegetable matter and is
therefore rich in nitrogen, but is lack
ing to considerable extent with re-
gard to the mineral constituents neces-
srry sor plant life. In consequence of
this experts advise the use of phos-
phoric acid and potash, as fertilizer, in
many localities.
Low hammocks are held to be practi.
cally equivalent in fertility to swamp
lands, hut they are not considered
equally desirable. These lands have a
deep soil, and sometimes ditching is
necessary. The low hammocks are not
likely to be affected by drought. They
are well adapted to the growing of
sugar cane, corn, and all vegetables.
High hammocks are in great favor in
Florida. They have an undulating sur
face, with soil of fine vegetable mold,
mixed with a sandy loan, sometimes
to depth of several feet. One advant-
age of the high hammockS is that they
scarcely ever suffer because of too
much water during hard rains. An
other is that in times of drought the
clay or rock soil prevents them from
becoming too dry.
Cultivation is easy on the high ham,
mocks and the soil is free from weeds.
When cleared and plowed the soil is
ready for crops. The soil is mellow
and the high surroundings are health
full for the settlers. In unfavorable
seasons the high hammocks often show
their value by producing good yields
while locations lacking their advantages
fall below the average crops. These
high class lands are to be found in sew
eral large bodies, a number of counties
being especially favored in this regard.
In addition to the classifications al
ready mentioned there are large tracts
of prairie land which resemble the
swamps as regards formation of soil
but are destitute of timber. Some of
these lands are poor, mainly because of
a substratum of hard material through
which roots of trees cannot penetrate.
When the hardpan is not too near the
surface, vegetables can be grown, pro-
vided fertilization and other details are
properly attended to. Most of these
lands afford excellent pasturage du,ing
the greater part of the year. They are
therefore, u-ed as cattle ranges.

at reduced price, owing to the form in
which it is put up, while much is cast
aside as not being worth handling, ow-
ing to a damaged condition which a
small amount of care would have avoid
ed. In such cases the only profit &C.
crues to the transportation companies
who gauge their tariff solely on quanti-
ty and not quality.
In these days of keen competition.
buyers pick and choose to an extent that
people unacquainted with the markets
do not realize. 1t is only by catering
to the tastes of the buyer that the high
est prices can be obtained.
Neglect in this matter will frequently
cause loss of business not only to the in
dividual shipper, but also to an entire
section of the country, for there are al
ways competitors who are looking for
all that suits their tastes and whims,
and will only buy at such places where
they can rely on what is offered
1t would take more space than we can
allow to discuss the manner in which
each kind of produce should be packed
and marketed, so we will generalze the
statement and say that the fact S should
be borne in mind that these goods are
packed to be sold as food and that clean
illness, neatness and uniformity are the
main things to be considered. TO pro-
cure the highest prices these goods must
be sold to people whose appetites are
not easily tempted and who will and 90
pay for everything they crave. Neat
ness and attractveness invariable pay
we'll for the trouble expended.
Dirty vegetables, stained berry boxes,
dirty potato sacks, will cause lower
price. though the contents or produce
may be practically as good as that pack
ed in clean packages. Uniformity is al
so an important factor as regards shape
and size and should be considered on the
standpoint of the location to which the
shipment is to be made.
For instance, cabbage well packed in
SINAI crates will generally command a
larger price than they will in larger
crates; more than sufficient to pay the
difference in the cost of extra Grating
There is probably no business to which
the adage Honesty is the Best Policy
should so aptly apply as to both the pro-
Queer and commission men handling the
farm produce. Probably the dishonesty
most practced is what is known as fac.
ing, which means placing top layer of
superior fruit in a package of lower
grade. Even the inexperienced buyer
is on the lookout for this and when any
deception has been attempted he gen.
orally rejects or condemns the whole as
Segment. Painstakng care on other
hand will generally build up for the ship
ments the top, and sometimes better
than the top price of the market.

GROWERS FIGHT WITH
SOUTHERN EXPRESS Co.

Fruit and vegetable shippers planting
and operating in Florida appeared last
week in Jacksonville at a hearing called
by the Florida Railroad Commission be-
fore an examiner of the United States
Commerce Commission detailed 20 ia Ike
testimony as to the rates charged by
the Southern Express Company for
carving Florida raised products from
field to market. 1t was a most import
ant hearing. 1t affected the whole mat
ter of quick transportation OF perlsha-
bic products, which form large part
of the wealth of the State. Transpor-
tation charges by express vitality AFFECT
the annual incomes of a large number
of Florida's citizens. Fair rates mean
a fair living for growers of perishable
products, and the continuance and de-
velopment of an industry on which Flor
ida must mainly rely for future growth
and development. Excessive rates will
mean ruin to the growers and the ar
resting of Florida s development on lines
laid down by nature. The Florida Com.
mission holds the rates too high and
seeks the aid of the United States Com
mission to lower them. II The Express
Company holds the rates reasonable and
Seeks to.main them. Both sides OF thu,
contention were represented by counsel
and the hearing was conducted fairly.
II will be sometime before the decis-
ion will be made. While the case Is
pending it seems timely and proper and
parliamentary to look into the aifa,rs
of the Southern Express Co., which IS a
public carrier with great power over
the fortunes of the people. in order
TO see if the express business has been
nrof;table enough to stand lower rates.
The First Annual Report OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission on the
statistics of Express Companies in the
limited States was issued this year.
From this the following information
about the Southern Express Company
is taken and respectfully submitted:

MARKETING PRODUCE
MOST SUCCESSFULLY

To anyone who will take the trouble
to make even cursory examination of
market conditions in any of our large
cities, it will be evident that there is
room both for Improvement in the mat
ter of packing, as well asin the market
ing of produce. A FRY small amount
of carelessnoss in packing is frequently
the cause of large amount OF disap-
pointn.ent and loss When the produce
reaches the commission merchant, says
the st. Cloud Tribune.
The waste in households falls on the
consumer, but the loss in this case falls
on the producer, and in many cases the
damage to fruit and vegetables is gross
" exaggerated. The art of taking in
Unite pains" is therefore essential to
profit in the matter of marketing farm
produce.

GRAND JURY PRESENSMENT
To the Honorable Minor S. Jones, Judge
of the Seventh Judicial Circuit in and
for st. Lucie county, Florida:
We, the Grand Jury, in addition to
the several indictments presented to
the court, beg to make this our general
presentment concerning the affairs OF
the county:
The public buildings were found to
be in excellent condition, the grounds
in neat order and no repairs seemed to
be needed. The County roads are IN
very bad order. but we believe the
! County Commissioners are doing all
they can with the funds available.
The High School grounds were visited
and no cause for complaint in the out
buildings were found.
/ 1t has been a great embarrassment
to the Grand Jury that the Justices OF
the Peace do not promptly send in their
papers of the various cases that come
into their hands, and we earnestly rec
ommend that they be more prompt in
the performance of their duty.
The general financial condition of the
county we find to be in fair condition,
with the exception of the road anc
bridge fund, but these deficiencies are
made up by the good balances carried
! by the other funds.
! 1t is also recommended by majority
of the Grand Jury that the legislature
be asked to abolish the County Court.
! We thank his Honor, Judge Jones,
for the courteses shown us. and for
the unfailing good nature and kindness
of the States attorney, John c. Jones.
Therefore we pray to he discharged.

Flying Machines at West Palm Beach

The ideal weather conditions combined
with perfect action of his flying ma
chine, enabled j. A. D. McCurdy. hand
ling a Curtis biplane, to give two most
satisfactory and successful and spectac-
ular flights Saturday afternoon at Beth
esda Park, new suburb little more
than a mile north of the city of West
Palm Beach. The first flight took place
at 4:16 and lasted four minutes, during
which maximum altitude of 1000 feet
was reached while four complete and
wide circles were made overhead. The
second flight was of lnger duration and
the aviator reached an altitude of $500
feet, flying over the Royal Poinciana,
and making a wide circle over the ocean.
