"And you won something there that
was more than mere money" Dede
encouraged. Now do you know what
would do If l had lots of money
and simply had to go on playing at
business? Take all the southerly and
westerly slope Of these bare hills. I'd
buy them In and plant eucalyptus on
them. I'd do 1t for the JOY of doing it
anyway; but suppose had that gam
bling twist In me which you talk
about. why, I'd do 1t Just the same
and make money out of the trees. And
there's my other point again. Instead
of raising the price of coal without
adding an ounce of coal to the market
supply, I'd be making thousands and
thousands OF cords of firewood-mak-
ing something where nothing was be-
fore. And everybody who ever
crossed on the ferries would look up
at these forested hills and be made
glad. Who was made glad by your
adding four dollars a ton to Rock
Wells?

ut remains for the governor of Flori-
da-God pity the state--to travel all the
way from Tallahassee to Washington to
insinuate that now / am working in the
interests of the western railroads. 1
brand that as a malicious, gratuitious
and unqualified falsehood."

Referring to Mr.. Gilchrist as "this

he rested his case with the people OF
his own district and felt certain of th2
result. He was applauded as he took
his seat.
Gov. Gilchrist was here to testify IL
