MUCH PRELIMINARY BOOSTING

 The Gateway is astounder at the consummate nerve of certain Seattle newspapemen who are boosting Portage Bay. Continued publicity of the kind recently appearing in the Seattle Times under the head, Portage Bay Now Real Live City, is calculated to start stampede into that little gacierbound ford this fa and may lead to serious results. What the result will be if several hundred people rush there only be surmsed There are few spots in Southwestern Alaska desoate in winter, and according old timers, there weeks at time when landing the beach is out of the question: Of relief parties could be sent out from here and cutter could stand by until it could get the unfortunates unable make the trip Portage glacier, aboard What good it is doing M J.

THE DRIFT OF CULTURE

Statistics the reading of the world compiled recently show remarkable drift towards serious reading the part of the working classes of all countries and especially Germany Tie workers of the Fatherland read much and most of this reading in economies sociology and philosophy While the weather classes content themselves with reading novels with tendencies the workers study the why and wherefore of social progress They study the march of civilization in the past understand its present future drift.
 To smaller, but still significant extent the tendency manfests itself in the United States Our enlightened work ingmen take their reading seriously than the class immediately above them financially. You often find much more sound thinking politics and events labor ton than you do at meeting of business The drift of real culture the world to be away from the comfortable middle class and the rch the harassed and precarious sphere of the wage

will DO much towards relieving the
congestion that now exists. 1t is a
great harbor and the committee felt
that it should not be neglected any
longer
Another important matter is the
Sacramento river, California. which
runs thru great and productive val
ley. The. Sacramento river is a very
vital avenue of commerce and it is
hoped can be made a still greater
one. The improvement will require
more than s30.Oo0.000. but the en-
gineers have recommended a little
above s5,000,UO0 as the share to be
contributed by the government in
the interests of navigation, the bal
ance to be furnished by the state of
and local interests.
Il believe the bill will have the
cordial endorsement of the people as
it is wholly in the interests of trade
and commerce.

RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL Is REASONABLE

Washington, Feb. 20.-Chairman
Harbors Committee of the House, in
speaking of the rivers and harbors
appropriation bill, which he will re-
port this week, says:
The bill is not large one when
you come to consider the older pro-
jects to be taken care of and the
geart demand for new projects, all
of which is based upon the rapidly
growing commerce of the country.
THE estimate of the army engi-
neers charged with river and harbor
improvements to carry on the work
on projects already adopted and for
maintenance, was little over thirty
four millions Of dollars. Then We
had before us new projects favorably
amounting to upwards of ninety
millions All of these were good
projects; that is, projects that ought
to be taken care of as soon as pos
sible
The committee, not being able to
take care of all these worthy and
meritorious projects, was compelled
to select those that seemed most urg-
ent While the total cost of these
projects will run to something over
thirty-one millions, the amount of
the initial appropriation is little
above five millions.
The bill was agreed to after ex-
haustive hearings and the most care
full consideration. In fact, We spent
seven weeks in hearing parties inter-
ested in the various projects, and in
addition, had with us one of the
army engineers much of the time.
with whom we advised most freely
as to merits of the several projects
and the amounts necessary to carry
on the work until the next annual
bill.
I'VE have taken on several OF the
links in the intercostal canal system,
both on the Gulf and the Atlantic,
prominent among which is the ap-
preparation for the purchase of the
canal between the Chesapeake and
Delaware bays. In doing this the
committee feels that it has done all
that could reasonably be expected at
this time.
The New York harbor project
was adopted after very careful con-
sideration and, with the widening of

L'ENC[E WANTED
A FLORIDA LINE
Fourth District Congressman Made a
Motion Which All Crackers
Will Regard With Favor

Washington, Feb. 2o.-Represen-
tative L'Engle startled the House
yesterday by offering an amendment
to the Alaskan railroad bill which
would cut out all reference to Alas
ka and appropriate the SIS 5,000. 900
which the bill intends for Alaska, to
the building of a railroad in Florida,
starting at Jacksonville and running
thence south to some point in Dade
county, thence south of Lake Okee-
chobee to Tampa
Mr.. L'Engle offered this on the
theory that since agricultural deyel-
opment is the avowed object of the
Alaska railroad bill it would be far
more feasible ani profitable if the
government would spend the money
in development of the Florida Ever
glades
Representative Mann, of Illinois,
objected to the L'Engle amendment
1T is not germane,' he said. This
is a bill to build railroads in Alaska
1t is not a bill to build railroads in
Florida
The chair held Mr. Mann's point
we'll taken. The amendment was
ruled out of order

PENALTIES SHOULD
BE PERSONAL
Stern Measures Needed, Says Com
missioner Clements. to Prevent
Speculation in Railroad Securi-
ties.

Washington, Feb. 20.-"Personal
guilt" should be provided for in leg
islation to empower the Interstate
Commerce Commission TO regulate
issues of railroad securities. Com
missioner Clements told the House
committee yesterday at public
hearing.
Put the responsibility on the di-
rectors to see that they neither mis-
apply nor permit the misapplication
of moneys, he urged, and added
that negligent Indifference OF direc-
tors ito let one man do what he
wants and o. X whatever he does"
had been a great mistake
Commissioner Clark testified that
carriers which wishes TO issue stocks
and bonds for necessary purposes
would have no good reason for OBJ
jecting to supervision by the COM
mission and that financing their sys-
TENS forpersonal gain should not be
permitted anyway.
Commissioner Clark condemned
pyramiding of stocks and bonds and
permitting railroads to bond them
selves to buy stocks OF other roads
for speculative purposes. He thought
the proposed exemption Of short
term notes should be carefully con-
sidered because of probably refund
ing requirements and that il might
interfere with effectual regulation.
He pointed out that the Louisville
and Nashville was c6ntesting the
commission right 10 go into its rec
oris prior to 1906, and urged an
amendment to strengthen the COM
mission powers.

Mr.. Alderman Wilson killed a fine
deer Yesterday.
Before closing | want to call the
papers attention to serious mis-
take that was made in the items of
last week, whether it was the corre-
spondent's error or the papers l can
not say but to make us straight with
the world l will say that it was only
one deer that Mr.. Harp killed week
before last instead of two. / make
this correction for things haven't
appeared in last weeks paper any,
way you all know how it goes with
one when they exaggerate little on
behalf of some one else and it is
found out, but / can say that it was
an innocent mistake and I'm sure If
you could see how hard it is to get
one deer you would sincerely doubt
the Staying of two by one individual
at the same time. There was a mis-
take in the expiration Of the game
law also. 1t should have been the
Goth and not the 30th, for We don't
have that many days in February in
the country tho sometimes the days
and months seem awful long.

new varieties OF grapes his depart
| ment was introducing, and ascertain
the Varieties Mr.. Lehman had found
best adapted TO this section. The huge
wine cellar was visited, the wines
sampled and found to be excellent
and equal to the grape wines of Vir-
g:nia and California
The party then went on around the
south side of Lake Weir, along the
line of the Seaboard spur from Sum-
merfield to Weirsdale, which handles
all the orange crops from the south
side of the lake. The orange groves
did look good. and there was lot of
fruit being shipped, much remaining
on the trees, but, Of course, the bulk
of the crop has been marketed.
4 short stop was made at Lakeside
Hotel, Weirsdale, which is open and
filed with guests.
The party. in passing around the
east side OF the lake, soon struck
Henry Gordon's road building crew
and from there all the way round to
North Lake the road is in fine shape,
and is a revelation 10 one who has
driven car over the road as ii 'uster

Of Woodmar, the car was run, down
into that Eden-like settlement and
stopped in front of Commodore
Goodwin's bungalow. but the COM
modore was in swimming or catching
trout for they could not raise any
one
The orange groves all along the
south and east side of the lake look
fine and are in prime condition. One
of the party who has just been to De-
Land, said there was no comparison
in the groves of the two sections
that the Lake Weir trees are so far
superior in looks and bearing quail
ties, and as to the flavor of the fruit
that was sampled, it cannot be ex-
celled anywhere.
On the north side of the lake the
groves looked thrifty and the prop
rison's big bungalow is nearing COM
pletion and some one was setting out
a big orange grove by the side of the
hard road, with surveyor and rodman
regularly surveying the land and set
ting the stakes for the trees in geo.
metrical exactness
Mr. Pride was dropped at Belle
view, to take the southbound Sea-
board at o'clock.
Much thrift was noticed in Belle
view. There are many visitors there
and the little city is quite busy. The
party, two of whom had never seen it
before, inspected the "Grotto." (And
by the way. those of you who have
not, should see this phenomenon).
The grotto is a circular hole in the
ground, about 200 feet across, 100
feet deep, with a large, clear spring
in the bottom, as deep as Silver
Springs, it is said, and almost as
clear. The water is pure and whole
some to drink. and where it comes
from and whittier it goes no one has
ever been able to find out. Tall trees,
oak and pine, grow out Of the pit,
some from near the bottom and
others along up the sides, and path
/ leads down, which a husky man can
negotiate, but it gets his wind.
The car then sped on to Ocala and
vision of many broad acres of fields
was opened to view along each side
of the way.
Anyone who thinks all of the fine
farming land is in the northern part
Of the county, has only to make this
trip to see that the southern portion
has fine farming section and much
land in cultivation.

SHIPWRECKED CREW SPENT
WEEK IN OPEN BOAT
Philadelphia Survivor of Lost Rev
enue Cutter Describes Experience.

Thomas n. Yeager, 402i Westminster
avenue, is at his home today recuperating
from the effects of spending n week in
following the wreck of the United states
revenue cutter Tahoma, near the Aleutian
Islands September 20.
Yeager and three other members OF the
cutters crew had been reduced to an al
lowance of half a glass of water day
when they were picked up by the
freighter Cordova.
According to Yeager the morning after
the boat struck the captain came to the
conclusion II would be safest to sink her
in the hope that she would rest on the
rock with her supcrstruCture above water.
Instead, the cutter listed so badly that
the crew got the boats off Just in time
There were 81 persons aboard" says
feaEer. including a woman and four
children picked up as passengers on the
islands. That night we were separated
from the other boats i'm the dark. but
for two days got along all right. on the
third day there was bad northwest blow
and we had to put Sat sea anchor to
prevent being swamped.
I'VE had salt meat and biscuits and
crackers but the salt meat made us so
thirsty we threw 1t away and lived on
crackers and water Before dawn SAT-
urday morning, we saw a steamers lights
and used UP all our lights and rockets to
signal her The Cordova later picked up
three of the other boats and we learned
by wireless that the Patterson had found
the two others, so that all were saved"
