productiveness of his own state. But
here is an ex-senator of the state us
ing indefinite, general and extrava-
CANT statements. to the injury Of the
state and contrary to facts.
The ex-senator tells us that practic-
al foresters say that these vast. dis
nal, burnt-over areas can be refor-
ested at small expense. /" Has anyone
seen the figures? Has any practical
forester made an estimate as to the
cost? Has any forester, practical or
otherwise made any statement ex-
cept in tile same glittering generali-
ties used by MFR RUNWAY? What
does the ex-senator mean by these
statements of condemnation Of coun-
ties that yield as much or more than
the boosted $3.50 lands Of his coun-
ty.
enator Krumrey tells what the
farmers in his county have done grow
ing trees. There are approximately
100000 farmers in Wisconsin has
Griffith ever tried to get them to grow
trees? The forester of Indiana. who
doesn't bluff and maIign his own state,
urges the farmers to plant their waste
Land. In Wisconsin it is proposed to
disrupt several counties in order that
there may be a forest expire or,
more probably, an empire without
forests, for the Griffith policy will
never create forest. Why this TRADE
against large portion OF the state,
based upon ignorance and error and
contrary to the fact? That is the kind
oflall we used to hear from the
agents for land concerns in other
states, but even they have quit since
everyone Except q few has learned
that upper Wisconsin has the best
cheap lands iii America.
The ex-senator says that Griffith is
AN expert forester" That is a bare
assertion, and would apply as well to
the men who made such a miserable
failure Of forestry IN Nebraska that it
was recently abandoned and the land
opened for settlement
there are lands enough in various
portions Of the state for forestry, en-
ough or which to invest scores of mill
lions OF dollars as much at least as
the state will want to invest. There
is no need to disrupt counties nor TO
misrepresent large portions OF the state
iii order TO have forests in fact the
way to have forests is TO follow the
opposite course. The last legislature
haG no difficulty in determining this
fact, and everyone except the Journal
Griffith coterie knows it,
The ex-senator tells as that farmer
in his county, tSheboygan,) got the
lumber for S., 900 house from less
than three acres. This would indicate
that that is the best place to grow
timber, aud as there are more than
100000 acres OF unimproyed lands in
that county, we suggest that the ex-
senator and Griffith get busy there.
The ex-senator tells us that the for
ests IN Germany are wonderfully sue
cessful.' 1t seems bit strange that
these people give no figures in the
matter. Such figures as now and then
are given are extremely low perhaps
that is the reason for the glittering
generalities INDUCED in by these peo-
pie. We now put this question to the
ex-senator, the journal and Griffith:
s.How much is the net return per acre
per year OF the German forests" We

Sne married TUESDAY.
SHE is Miss Lila Brokaw Gilbert, :
the SIS, 100000 heiress.
HE is Howard Pierce Renshaw of
Troy, New York.
Ever since her debut Miss Gilbert
has been an idealist. A year ago, to
some friends, she laughingly con-
fided her conception of an ideal man,
whom she announced she would
marry some day.
"He must be six feet tall and fond
of athletics. He must be smooth7
shaven, a brunette and a good rider.
\ He must be fond of animals; have
a firm Jaw, be an EpiscopaIian, a Re-
publican and money-maker," she
said.
'"He must have thick, curly hair
over his left ear, with no red in it; a
straight nose, large and intelligent,
but not soulful eyes, and he must
have decided ideas about RAISING
PIGS and POULTRY.
HE must like lemon in his tea,
eat ice cream with fork and must
wear his clothes like John Drew"
That was the ideal she described
year ago. Yesterday Miss Gilbert
walked happily up to the chancel rail
with her ideal; man who is almost
wholly different from the one she de-
Scribed.
He is fond of outdoor sports, horses
and motoring, but otherwise It is de-
cIared he does not meet with one of
the rules set down by his fiancee a
year ago.
So much for the plans of mere
maid when little Dan Cupid gets busy
with his arrows.
Miss Gilbert's father was Harry
Bramhall Gilbert. who died at AK
les-Bains, France, in 1911, leaving
her his fortune.

HAVE TO HI STLE

Some weeks ago, as all remember,
we had a very important meeting one
sunda~ night in the Board of Trade
rooms between citizens Of Ocala and
other towns and three army engineers,
in regard to the much needed improve
ment Of the Oklawaha river, The en-
gineers came. saw and heard. and de-
parted. giving US a month to collect
further data to submit TO the meeting
Of the general board at Washington.
The month is about up. We see that
Congressman Sparkman has been at
the war department in behalf of this
work Leesburg and Tavares are pre-
pairing to send delegations to help
Uncle steve, but, so far as the Star is
informed, Ocala hasn't turned another
hand over in the matter since that
Sunday night
The time is mighty short. Whoever
goes to Washington must be there by
the 18th.
Mr.. Chas. Y Miller, who has been
down on the west coast for some
weeks. returned yesterday and left
again last night for Jacksonville,
where he will obtain as much data as
possible from the steamboat men, and
Messrs. c. Carmichael and J. D. Room
ey. if they can find time from other
business, will try to go down the Ok
Iawaha to PaIatka tomorrow, but

being maintained toward this import

w AFTER COMPANY WANTS
TOO MUCH WEALTH
Over $4,000 More Than the City is
willing to Give for Its Outfit

Mr.. Harris of Macon, Ga, represent
ing the Ocala Water Company, met
with the city council last night in ad-
journed meeting with full council
present, with the exception of Presi-
dent Weathers, who is out of the city.
Mr.. Taylor presided in his stead.
Mr. Harris is duly authorized TO
close a sale to the city for his COM
pany's property and made the city last
night a proposition to sell to it for
$61,3G414.
The council voted to reject this
proposition and made the water COM
pany a counter proposition of $4,000
for its plant.
The matter now stands as 1t was last
night.
The council will meet tonight at d
board of equalizers to hear complaints
from property owners whose taxes
have been raised, and the matter may
come up again tonight.
1t has been SO long ago that some Of
our readers may have forgotten it and
many new citizens are not aware of it,
but about two years ago the city voted
100000 bonds for the purchase or con-
struction of a water plant the bond
issue was validated by the supreme
court, and the bonds can be engraved
and sold Al any time and the money
used for this purpose.

BLOCKED THE TARIFF BILL

After the fireworks preparatory to
the passage of the Underwood bill in
the lower house of Congress had been
set off yesterday, a republican parlia-
mentary maneuver blocked the demo-
cratic majority and the House was
forced to adjourn until today, with the
bill still pending.
When the valedictOry speeches on
the bill had been delivered and crowd
ed floor and galleries were prepared
for the final act, Republican Leader
Mann replied to Majority Leader In
derwood's opposition to a roll call on
the republican amendment proposing a
tariff commission by declaring he
would demand the reading of the EN-
rolled bilp' 1t was impossible for the
enrolling clerk to complete the enroll
ment of the I'll before this afternoon,
and amid the dissatisfied mutterings of
the members who had waited through
the evening in expectation of a final
vote, Representative Underwood NOV
ed the House adjourn until 2 o'clock
this afternoon when a vote on the bill
will be taken.
During the closing hours of the ses-
sion the ways and means committee
amended the income tax provision so
as to exempt citizens of Porto Rico
and the Philippines.

\ CANDY FACTORY FOR OCALA

Mr.. Dan Whitfield, who has been laid
up for several months with q broken
leg, is now able to get out and around
and Will soon be able to put aside his
crutches.
Mr.. Whitfield is preparing to open a
candy factory at his home east of the
city limits, and manufacture candy for
the wholesale trade. He is getting his
machinery, moulds. etc, ready and has
his cartons ordered, and will not only
make a very superior grade of candy
but intends to put it up in just as
pretty and dainty packages as the
larger manufacturers goods. This is
a case where you can begin the Made

Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet has lost
her fight for the Gainesville, Ga, post
office, in which she will be succeeded
by another Georgia lady, Mrs. H. W. j.
Ham. In this appointment, President
Wilson disregarded the wishes of Con-
gresham Bell of the Ninth Georgia
district, but he has done well, all the
same. Mrs. Ham is the widow of II. w.
J. Ham, the "snOllygoster" Journalist
and writer who by the way was a
staunch democrat and sharing hOnora-
BILE poverty with other southern men
when General LOngstreet was draw
ing a comfortable salary as a republic
can office holder. Mr. Ham was known
all over the South, and was one of
GeOrgia's brightest men. He leCtured
in Ocala twenty years ago last Feb
ruary. Mrs. Ham is a most estimable
lady. and was a true helpmate to her
distinguished husband. While Mrs.
LOngstreet is also a splendid woman,
and probably possesses more snowy
talents than Mrs. Ham, there is little
doubt that the latter's appointment
will best please Georgians. 1t is also
probable that President Wilson had
enough acquaintance with the interest
ed parties to use his personal opinion
in the decision.

CRACKERS WILL HAVE
BETTER CHANCE

Up here they have what they call the
civil service, which is established for
the convenience Of the heads Of the de-
partments who do not want to be
bothered with offceseekers. Among
friends, the civil service is no more re-
garded than the constitution is; but,
nevertheless and Notwithstanding, most
of the jobs up here are under the civil
service. 1t is one Of the rules of the
civil service that each state shall have
it's proportion of appointments. That
is, Florida has 50 many, according to
population, End New York 50 many,
according to population. Therefore,
when a fellow in the civil service
wants a job and he finds that his
states quota is taken up, he hunts
around for a state that has some va
cancies, and he gets appointed from
that state
The other day I got list of those
holding civil service jobs credited to
Florida, and, as it was news TO me, I
think it might be news to the rest of
the Florida folk. Look it over and see

I don't know whether I can change
this thing or not; but l would like it if
some person living in each one of the
towns included in the list would write
me if any person hailing from that
town is bona fide resident. If I can
make out a case, maybe I can get some
of these people from other states,
claiming to hail from this state, out,
and maybe l can get some real Florida
people put on. I don't know what I
can do; 1 only say maybe. But, if the

To this letter. Mr.. LEngle appends a
list Of names of civil service appoin-
tees who hold office professedly from
Florida Among them are Grant Cow
an in the department Of interior, and
William r. HilIyer in that of agricuI-
as from Ocala.
Grant Cowan is a very capable stem
ographer, who lived here a dozen
years or so ago He was a candidate
for some office on the socialist demo-
cratic ticket when that party made a
shadow of a campaign in 1900 or there
abouts. He hasn't been in Ocala for
a number of years, and has no more
right to claim this town as his
home than any other bona ide resident
of Washington.

anybody who knows or ever heard of
William Hillyer.
