our picture gallery, we offer you a choice
of several different subjects done in water
color, strictly hand work for the exceptional
low price of Nineteen Cents Each. They are all beaut-
les and each "a poem without words" and at the price

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. .0.-Whether II
would be dangerous from the stand
point OF facing an enormous indem-
nifty verdict for the United States to
submit to the Hague tribunal the
claims of Colombia for the Panama
Canal strip is question the House
Committee on foreign affairs will con-
sder before making report to Con-
cress of the investigations of Colon
bias claims. The hearings on the
Rainey resolution urging the sub
mission of the dispute to the Hague
tribunal are continued today. Henry
N. Hall. OF New York. summed up
the evidence In the case. which he
said proved that Roosevelt took Pam
anna in violation of treaties. that the
revolution was fOmcnted by this
country, and that Colombia is enti-
tied to reparation. Hall said Knox
doesn't wish to 20 to the Hague tri-
bunal with a losing case. as the
judges could do nothing but say that
We should pay Colombia the intrinsic
value of the Isthmus, which Hall es-
timated at a hundred million dollars.

road. Mr.. Bell informs US that the

Every indication points to the
early beginning of grading on this
road and Mr.. eBll says that the work
Of completing the road will be pushed
vigorously and completed as soon as
possible.
This is road that is much needed
and no doubt will be paying prop
0sitiOn for the promoters from the
beginning OF running trains. The
road will not only pass through some
of the finest lands in South Florida.
which will enhance them materially
in value, but it will link the East
and West Coast by a short and prac-
tical route.
When this road Is completed you
will see many thousand of tourists
passing through from east to west
and west to east, people coming down
on the East Coast route will return
BY tho West Coast and vice versa.
The survey Of this road entering
our city has been changed from the
original plans, and comes In on the
north side Of the city. The depot
terminals will probably be out at the
end of East Oak street, which will
be better location for the town aud
road than on the south side.
The A. o. & G. is the road that Ar
cadia needs and we hope that every
one will pull for 1t and that It will
not be long before we realize our
fond hopes.-Arcadia News.
