GREAT FUTURE
Punfa Gorda TO be Thriving City oil
South Florida

We want to see Punta Cord,
the most thriving city of South
Florida; it is the desire of ths
most prominent citizens of The
town to watch a healthy growth
of the most beautiful and most
favored town, by Providence, ID
the world it is hoped, finally, thai
every boy and girl now growing
up will be able at some time tc
look back and see how persistently
and faithfully his Or her father
worked for the establishment and
maintenance of a magnificent, en-.
during municipality; but every one
is conscious of the fact that moth.
ing can be accomplished unless
every citizen personally feels a
deep sense of responsibility and a
profound consciousness of his in.
individual and acutely important
part in the affairs of the town and
puts his shoulder to the wheel OF
progress.
To have city worthy of the
name, to see a municipality meritine
due progress and development, on
the part of every town organiza-
tion or institution, there must be
undivided, faithful labor-a labor
not begun now and ended in a
half hearted way, but a toll that
knows nothing save regularity,
decorum and assiduousness.
The town council need not hope
to render much benefit of lasting
Importance, to the people over
whom it presides and for whose
betterment it is supposed to make
unless its meetings are regularly
held and fully attended and mat
ters of chief concern are met with
in definite, absolutely correct
way. The board of trade should
have no confidence, no faith in the
future Of its benefits to the city in
the way of worthy development,
except as it conforms to the laws
of uniformity, order, and princi-
pile and makes careful, but steady
steps for the sure aggrandizement
Of the entire locality. The Busi-
ness Mems Association can never
aspire to be of mutual benefit to its
members, never can hope to reach
4 plain of successful operation,
save as it meets regularly and
without fail, and does business in
/ strictly business manner. Con-.

CATTLE PRODUCTION
South TO be Source of Nations Flu.
fure Meat Supply

The recent report of the De-
partment of Agriculture, showing
that within the past six years the
country's production of beef cattle
has decreased thirty per cent. leads
a western packer to remark that
this condition must be met by the
small farmer, ''who can raise a
few head of cattle, a dozen or so,
and get them to market. The
days of the great cattle ranges of
the West are numbered, he thinks,
land that was once given over to
his industry is being used for
wheat and other crops, so that
our future supply of beef, in so
far as it is produced at home,
must come from variety of limit
ed sources rather than, as hereto
fore, from few large centers.
Whatever errors there may be
in such theory, it suggests at
least one important truth; and
that is the rich opportunities which
present day conditions afford the
average farmer in the South for
profitable cattle raising.
Though he may not hope to- en-
ter the market on u large scale, he
can at least raise enough cattle and
live stocks to supply his own needs
and, with proper management,
surplus for the demands of his
immediate neighborhood, or dis
trict. The mild climate, together
with the cheapness of forage, re-
duce the expenses of such enter
prises to minimum; and "a few
years of experiment might con-
vince the farmer that cattle rails
ing was safer and more profitable
that the other lines he had follow
ed, certainly more so than the
practice of stocking all his monty
and labor on single crop.
By every natural circumstance,
the South is the great beef pro-
ducing section of the future. AS
the Department of Agriculture
has shown, its soil will grow those
grasses which are most nutrition
as cattle food. Its winters are
short and temperate, so that past
urage is possible the year around.
There are thousands of acres
now idle which could thus be
turned to wonderful productive
account. The fact that the home
supply of beef is decreasing so
rapidly and that the West is no
longer to he depended upon as a
permanent source of supply makes
the South the veritable center of
this industry for the decades to
come. Exchange. !

Gainesville Sun:-The man who
refused to do anything for poster
ity because, SO he said, "posterity
had done nothing for him." and
the old man who would not plant
a tree where one has needed be-
cause he would not live to see it be-
come a large tree affording CRATE
fnl shade, took very narrow and
false view Of life. The truth is we
owe many of our blessings to peo-
pie who live before us, and men
walk under and delight in the
beauty and shade of trees that
thoughtful men planted in former
days. And that fact is generally
recognized, and if there are people
so selfish that they will do nothing
for the benefit of future genera
tions there are far more people so
grateful and so generods and wise
that they delight to do things that
will prove blessing to the folks
who come after them.

CITY COUNCIL
PROCEEDINGS
Adjourned Meeting Tuesday
Might, July IS

City Council met in adjourned
session in the Board of Trade
rooms Tuesday night, July 18th.
Present: Geo. S. Stone, President:
f. B. Pitt, Clay Chadwick and
N. G. Hewitt. Minutes of the
previous meeting were read and
approved.
A number of strong recommen-
dations were read from various
points in the State endorsing Mr..
Hiram McElroy as an efficient CIV
il engineer, and the following res
olution was adopted by the coun-
Gil:
"Resolved, that Hiram McEl-
roy be given the contract to make
the preliminary survey for. sewer
system, water works andstreet paw
ing, anticipated by means of bond
issue, the City Attorney to draw up

Mr.. Albert H. Coup, expert
electrician and a resident of P1nta
Gorda, gave the Council the bene-
fit of his knowledge concerning
electrical problems incident to the
proposed changes soon to be made
in the municipal electric light
plant. Mr.. Coup agreed to SUBJ
NIT tangible proposition to the
Council at its meeting July %.
The matter of identifying Mar
ian avenue and Taylor street
with palm trees was discuss
at considerable length. Property
owners on Taylor street asked for
permission to set out in front of
their property cabbage palms, and
DR.. Stone stated that he had al
ready planned to set out one
thousand royal palm trees on both
Taylor street and Marian avenue.
Property owners agreed to await
the early elimination of DR..
Stones project.
Mr.. j. r. Sandlin was present
and stated that, with proper en-
couragement from the business
men, the w. III. Towles freight
and passenger steamer from Key
West and Tampa would make reg
ular trips to Punta Gorda, but
that it would be necessary for the
city to build freight house on
the City dock. Messrs. j. F.
Corbett and j. r. Sandlin were
committee to call a
meeting Of the business men and
to report at the next meeting of
the council.

On the best German forests the

sandy mixed with more or less
clay. lime and organic matter.
The greater portion of the lands
may be designated as pine lands,
because of the pine timber, which
predominates. There are lands on
which the timber, is u mixture of
pine, white oak, red oak, water
oak, live oak, gum, bay, hickory,
magnolia and other lands.
The general classification of
soils is in the following order:
First, second and third rate pine
lands; high hammock, low ham,
mock and swampy lands.
With the exception of a small
area of supposedly irreclaimable
swamp lands, there is scarcely an
acre in the entire State, which
cannot be made under the wonder
ful influence of Florida's magnif-
cent climate, to pay tribute to
mans energy. Lands which in a
more northerly climate would be
utterly worthless will yield valu-
able products in Florida.
First-class pine land in Florida
is wholly unlike anything found in
any other State. Its surface is
usually covered for several inches
deep with dark vegetable mould,
beneath which to the depth of sew
eral feet is choe olate- colored
sandy losr, mixed for the most
part with limestone pebbles and
resting upon substratum OF mari
clay or limestone rock. The fer
tility and durability of this char
acter of land may be estimated
from the we'll known fact that in
the older settled districts this kind
of soil has been cultivated for as
many as twenty years successfully
in corn or cotton without a pound
of any sort of fertilizer, and are
still as productive as ever; prac-
ticaIly, then, these lands are in
destructible. 1t is on this class of
lands that both truck and fruit
growing is most successful, and
which produces the finest quality
of Sea Island cotton. 1t is also
fine farming land and yields good
crops under ordinary methods of
cultivation.
The second-cass pine lands
which make up the largest por-
tions of lands are practically all
productive. They are not h.lly,
but for the most part undulating
in their surface. Underlying the
surface is clay, mari, lime rock
and sands. These lands, from their
accessibility and productiveness,
the facility of fertilizing with cat
tie pennlng and the impression of
their greater healthfulness than
hammock lands, have induced their
enclosure and tiIlage, when the
richer hammock lands were near
by, but more difficult to prepare
for cultivation.
Even the lands of the third
rate" or most inferior class, are
by no means worthless in the eli
mate of Florida. This class of
lands may be divided into two
orders; the one comprising high,
rolling, sandy districts, which are
sparsely covered with a stunted
growth of "black jack" and pine,
and near the lower east coast,
scrub hickory and gaulberry
shrubs. 1t Is also on much simi-
lar soils along the coast that the
finest pineapples are produced; the
other embracing low, fiat swampy
regions, which are frequently
studded with ebay gauIs", and

RoYALLY ENTERTAINED
ADJUSTMENTS Provided on Train o.
puIlmans and Royal Entertain
ment Given
Here.

The North ST. Louis Business Mems
Association arrived here to see the
greatest water power on earth at noon
today, two hundred strong, on spec
ial train over the Burlington Route,
and are the guests of the Mississippi
River Power company.
On their arrival they were at once
taken in charge by the Water Power
company and taken over the works
in the river with corps Of guides to
explain the mammoth water power de-
yelopment to them. An observation
train carried them to the Illinois side
the dam.
After viewing the works this after
noon, the party will rest at the Elks
club as guests OF the Water Power
company until 6 o'clock, when they
will be entertained at dinner at the
Manhattan cafe. They leave at S
o'clock for home on their decorated
train and will reach st. Louis at /
o'clock in the morning.
The Union Electric Light and
cursionists on the train enroute to
and from Keokuk. The train of Pull
mans was finely equipped with COM
forts for the trip, and the business
men aboard evidently enjoyed the en-
tire outing. They were emphatic in
expressing the wonder at the i'm
mensity of the water power work
here which will furnish them electric
ity at home before very long. The
organization in the party here today
is an important one among st. Louis
business interests, and the large num-
Der who came indicates the great in
terest which st. Louis is taking in the
Keckuk water power.

which arranged the trip was compos-
