Fifteen miles from the prosperous
city of Ocala lies Lake Weir, the near
est big lake to the town. 1t is becom-
ing ever more popular as a summer
resort, and much of the land along its
east and north shores have been cut
into lots. A splendid lake it is, four
miles wide by about six long, with
an average depth of twenty feet. The
water is remarkably pure, and seems
to- possess the quality to quickly clean
silver, it being said that furnished
dollar may be cleaned as bright as
new by the use of this water, and
many city ladies who visit the lake
take along their silverware to be
cleaned. The sandy shores of Lake
Weir are the next things to gold
mines, for this is said to be the best
sand in Florida for cement work, all
of the leading firms of Tampa and
Jacksonville using Lake Weir sand
j for building purposes.
Across the big badly of water is the
town of Eastlawe, on the line of the
A. c. L. railroad, that runs through
Ocala to st. Petersburg. Here it is
that George Snow packs his famous
Ideal brand that brought SO much
money in the markets last year. Mr..
Snow is also one of those who had
faith. At the time of the freeze he
was the care-taker of a number of
groves in this locality, and he was
able to buy some acreage at a low
price from the discouraged owners.
He now has forty acres of grove, the
greater part of which is Parson
Browns, though he has some Pineap-
/ pie oranges, some Satsumas, and five
acres of grapefruit. He also is the
owner of thriving nursery. He has
fine packing house on the shore of
the lake, and packs fruit for many of
! his neighbors, who were impressed
with the prices he was receiving
through the Florida Citrus Exchange,

/ have heard men say that there is
no money in oranges; that the cost of
production, packing, freight. and mar
keting left not enough to carry them
through to the next season. / know
that there are such growers in Flor
ida, and / also know that there are
many other growers in the same class
with these folks who own the Car
ney estates, who have made money
and will continue to make money be-
cause they are on the rigth kind of
land, and because they know how.
Let me say right here that it is not
always the old-timer that succeeds,
for too ofte nit is the old-timer who is
the knocker. The leading growers
of California are not old-timers, but
are men of brains who largely made
their money in other lines, and who
were attracted by the fascination of
growing oranges in an ever mild eli
mate. We are getting many such in
Florida, and they are almost without
exception making good. We have just
as famous growers in our state as
they have in California, some of them
old-timers, like Carney, many of them
newcomers like Hart, Koplin, Por-
cher, Skinner, Brown, Waite and a
host of others.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5.-An efort to resume street car traffic, which has been tied up since last Friday night by a strike, resulted today in serious injury to seven strikebreakers and two policemen.

Officials of Administration in Washington Continue to Refuse to Shed Light on Last Communication to Mexican President
PUBLICITY MIGHT
 DEFEAT ENDS
Feeling in National Capital
 is None the Less One of Intense Interest, Espe- cially as to Future if Huerta Doesn't Abdicate
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Waiting for word from Provisional President Huerta was the way the attitude of official Washington toward the Mex ican situation was described today. The administration officials continued to refuse to shed light on the last communication which conveyed to General Huerta the desire Of the United States that he eliminate him self from the tangled situation. They took the attitude that to discuss pub licIy the delicate phases of the prob lem might defeat the ends sought
 Feeling in the national capital is none the less one of tense interest, especially as to what course will be pursued if General Huerta declines to abdicate. It is evident from those who talked with President Wilson about the situation today that he is awaiting developments calmly. He has told friends he would continue to try to solve the situation by peaceful means and would not be disturbed by predictions of armed intervention. The belief is general here that the situation is being worked out with extreme secrecy in diplomatic chan nels and that only when some tangi- ble conclusion had been reached, will there be any official announcements.
 There is no collective opinion in official circles as to what Huertas reply to American representations might be. No one ventured predic- tions so far as could be learned and no intimations have been received as to Huerta's future attitude.
 Secretary Daniels announced that the cruiser California, ordered to be relieved by Pittsburg, will remain on Mexican waters for the present.

Jed Newkirk, motor protege of Bar ney OIdfield driving Dan Gillies Chihuahua Simplex. won the Fl Paso- to-Phoenfx road race in the astound- ing time of 17:1O for the 517s miles passing the checking station at the southeast corner of the fair grounds at 1:59 yesterday afternoon.
 Newkirk's average speed was 33.3 miles per hour.
 Stutz Bearcat, the hoodoo car that killed Jack Forrest, was second, fin ishing three minutes before the fourth car, Clark's Brena.
 NJ. L. Naquins NeIie was third in running time and fourth in time Of arrival
 It was d great race because it fin ished clean, and because it proved 8 point that long has been at issue that the Fl Paso division of the BOr derland route is faster than the Los Angeles lap. The average miles per hour of Davis in the Locomobile was 319 With the same car that Davis drove, Newkirk would have bettered his time considerably.
 Unlike the first race, the El Paso contest created little excitement at the finish, though there was enthusi- azm enough. The finish before the grand stand brought forth all the cheers that the first race did. but there was no such rush to the winner as he stopped in the quarter stretch.
 Newi1irk was reported through the Mesa checking station shortly after one. He drove through the valley at good speed, and finished at Bob Rhnehart's checking station at one minute before two. Purdy Bullard, Rhinehart, and c. A. Martin of the Fl Paso Herald, mounted the ma chine with them to the finish line in the half mile track where they arc all shown in The Republicans big front page photograph.
 Barney OIdfield was mighty en- thusiastic over the result of New kirks splendid drive. He said:
 T couldn't win the Los Angeles race, but the kid I trained walked away with the other race Jed was with me in 1902, racing bicycles, and later with automobiles. He's some classy driver"
 J. R. Johnson, driver of the Stutz Bearcat, the death ear, made his fin ish at 3:29. His elapsed time as fig ured by the checkers at the finish but not declared official because the reports of the checking stations are not in, is 1899.

Two parades of pure bred stock passed before the grand stand yes terday afternoon at the fair grounds at the same time, one going around the circle of the inner track, while the other took the outer track. There was no music except that of the cheering of the thousands who packed the stands, and who realized that there was then passing a concrete demonstration of the possibilities for usefulness and benefit of the Salt River valley and all Arizona as a stock cOuntry-a stock country that can be developed to second to none in the United States. Nearly five hum dred animals were in the parade which was more than a mile and a half long. The cattle were led around the inside track. while the horses and mules were led or driven in tn larger track.
 Everything passed off like clock work. There was Chief Marshal Van Kirk, who looked after the horse divf- sion. and Prof. Wilson of the Uni Versity of Arizona, superintendent of the live stock department, looking after that. Several hundred youths and small boys were admitted to lead the animals around the track, and lots of laughter was caused by some of the antics of the youngsters, when a fine looking calf would feel so good as to start galloping off. drag ging the protesting boy behind her.

 It was common talk around the fair grounds following the parade that no such showing ever had been made here before. This sort of statement in connection Is of course natural with boosters for fairs, but it did not come from the actual fair booster this time but from the man who at tends the fair to observe and learn.
