OcALA ONCE REJOlCED IN THE
SAME PIPE DREAM

Burning natural gas in Florida and
right here in Orlando may become an
actual fact, and that at no very re-
mote period. 1t has just leaked out
that an investigation is quietly going
on in the territory near the city that
may make her citizens sit up and
take notice"
II may be remembered by some that
about nine years ago wells were Dor
ed for oil in the northwestern end OF
this state, where both oil and gas
were discovered, and also at Jack
son, Ala, and that later investiga-
tions were made on the west coast of
Florida, where wells were sunk, AMI
both oil and gas discovered. But
these holes were plugged, and word
was given out that they were of no
practical value; that the product was
not there in sufficient quantity to
warrant development.
Later the most wonderful develop
ments have taken place at Beaumont
and Spindletop, Texas, where oil and
gas in untold quantities have been
discovered and are now enriching the
territory in which they were found
One of the same gentlemen, who
assisted in the above named invest;-
cations and developments, is now in
Orlando and has made the discovery
that natural gas exists in a strip of
territory close to the city. 1t is said
that no later than last Saturday this
same gentleman approached two rep
utable citizens of Orlando, relative to
operations on certain tracts of land
and let them in on facts connected
with his discovery. 1t was then re-
vealed TO him that the knowledge OF
gas here had been known to them for
two years or more, and had actually
been burned by the discoveries.
These gentlemen further averred
that it was not common bog" gas.
but the real article, the same as is
found in Texas, Louisiana and other
points, but as to whether it was here
in sufficient quantities to be of great
practical use they were unable to
state.
The Investigations are still going
on. and it is more than probable that
active developments may soon be un-
dertaken.
II is said by those who are familiar
with the geological formation of this
portion OF Florida, and that portion
OF the country stretching westward
through Alabama, Louisiana and to
the Beaumont oil fields, that the Or
lando territory is in direct line with
the oil and gas developments in those
sections-Orlando Reporter-Star.

DECE M Der

Gone is gray November,
Now, welcome, December,
Your face we remember,
Your wintry joys
Your SHOWS and your freezes,
Your sport that all pleases,
Your Jingle that leases
The girls and the boys.
In sleighs swiftly riding,
Ger ice space sliding,
Down steep hills smooth gliding,
While cold breezes blow
All, others are meager
Compared to your vigor,
And sport-lovers eager
Watch out for your snow.
You bring Christmas feeling,
Hurts of the year healing,
To all good cheer dealing
Again and again.
Your Christ bells are ringing,
Your angels are singing
OF peace and love bringing
Good will unto men!

PAINT AND "PAlNT"

Paint itself costs 1910 per gallon,
but remember that Linseed Oil costs
only 81 per gallon, and that Paint"

AN ERA OF WATERWAYS-W
NOT A CANAL TO SILVER
SPRINGS?

SPRINGS?
When Jacksonville had less than
twelve feet of water at her bar she
had a meager outward commerce and
her population was small. AS soon
as her depth of water increased, her
export and import trade expanded and
her population grew larger.
When her public spirited citizens
got their heads together and bonded
Duval county for a million dollars,
and the government met these
citizens half way, and she Sc
cured a depth of thirty feet of water
at her bar the response to this spirit
of determination was the erection of
sky scrapers in different parts of the
city and doubling of her population.
When Jacksonville had no outside
commerce and was eking out a slow
existence who would have thought
that the year 1912 would find her with
the largest dry goods establishment in
the south?
Her remarkable growth is almost
altogether owing to the depth of wa-
ter at her bar.
Ought this not to teach its own les
son?
What is being done along the same
line in other places?
A canal is being dug from Calves
ton to Houston, fifty miles long and
twenty-five feet deep, and as result
Houston bids fair to become one of
the greatest cities in the south
The citizens of Houston and Harris
county, of which Houston is the coun-
ty site, got together and sent a com
mittee of it's business men to Wash
ington, and proposed that if the gov
eminent would authorize the work of
digging canal twenty-five feet deep
and fifty miles long at cost of two
million five hundred thousand dollars.
that the citizens of Houston and the
county of Harris would organize a
navigation district and issue bonds to
provide half the amount needed.
Congress accepted the proposal to
match dollars with it's public spirited
citizens, and as a result the work is
well under way.
what is the result? Houston is
now the center of seventeen railways
all of whom expect to have terminal
facilities on the canal. and a number
OF individual firms and corporations
have acquired extensive facilities also
and are expecting a largely increased
commerce as soon as the canal is
completed.
Ocala is the center of a great in
land territory. Its possibilities are
almost beyond computation. 1t is
only hampered and held back by
railroad determinations in freight
rates. A canal to Silver Springs is
the key that will unlock and set to
rights these determinations.
We have the example of the public
spirited citizens of Jacksonville and
Houston. 1t is within our grasp to
make city. We have ourselves to
blame if We let it escape us through
our inertness and want of enterprise.
The water we now let go to waste
when we introduce the septic tank
system of sewerage will be conserved
and there will be found enough to
float a boat
There is only five miles of canaling
to be done
Mr.. R. L. Martin estimates that the
annual saving in freight rates alone,
if no other benefits accrue, will more
than pay the cost of construction.
1t behooves the citizens and bust
ness men of Ocala to get busy.
