On the visit of Mr.. J. c. Benjamin,
national director of the Moose, to
Silver Springs Tuesday, he was much
enthused, and voiced the idea that
has occurred to many, that the
Seaborad, then the F. r. & n, over
looked a large bet when it did not
build its main line by that wonder
and beauty spot of the state. Mr.. J.
w. NJ Demmer, the live wire athletic
leader, for the amusement of the
guest, donned bathing toys and
diyed in the ladies' parlor, going to
an unusual depth. Mr.. Benjamin
was much pleased with the fine club
house and excellent prospects of teh
Ocala Moose, which he considers one
of the best lodges in the state.

WAS THE LAW COMPLIED WITH .

Mr.. II. W. Tucker claims that the
law has not been complied with Civ
ing the contract for the heating and
plumbing in the new Ocala high
school building. The advertisement
said:
"A deposit in the form of a certi-
fed check as a guarantee of good
faith in making bids will be required
OF all bidders in the sum of per
cent Of the amount Of consideration
in the proposal"
Mr.. Tucker says that his certified
check was the only one deposited.
Mr.. Tucker also says that the ad-
vertisement calls for a bid on 1.-The
heating and plumbing He bid on
this as specified in the advertisement,
while the contracts were given to
two separate firms, one bidding for
the heating and the other for the
plumbing.
| Mr.. Tucker says that Coons & Col
der's bid on the total work was
! $5734 fuckers bid was S5761-just
S27 more. He thinks it would be
worth more than that to have the
work done by a home firm, and a
great many will agree with him. He
expressed the opinion that he was
entitled to it.
The Star would have much pre-
ferred that all the work had been
awarded to home people-even if it
had cost considerably more.

Patsy Gillen, the industrious little
newsboy, who has been so very sick,
is slowly improving, but is not able
to sit up yet. Patsy had hard place
to fill. He is a student in the high
school and has held his place in his
classes, and was not only out on the
streets, delivering his papers, until
trains every morning. The overwork
and exposure told heavily on his not
very robust physique, and it will be
a long time before he RECEIVERS from
his illness.

ALASKA RAILROADS AND oEvEL
 oPMENT.

Those who understand the condi- tions in Alaska will see the justice Of some such measure as that of Dele gate Wickersham. who would change the tax on Alaskan railroads from $10O n mile to per cent of net in come. The idea of congress at tho time the $100-a- mile tax was estah- lished must hay" been that the rail- roads would be immensely profitable They have not proved to be so. Rail- roads can't be profitable without much freight to carry. and it takes people and development of resources to pro ducc freight. Mir. Wickcrsham cites tho case of one railroad so miles long against which taxes of $S.000 q year have been accommodating until the penalties run into tho millions. Yet the road does not make opera ting expenses.
 The public will recall the troubles of the railroad running out of Seward. Some time ago the owners offered to turn 1t over to a committee of busi- ness men of Seward to operate. Tho owners couldn't make 1t profitable and pay tho federal mileage tax.
 Had the federal government not tied ID the resources of Alaska in tn" resign 'of Pinchot. 1t Is altogether probable that some of the lines would be sclf-sustaininE. and even profitable today. Conservation stopped develop mcnt. and that means a stop in tho production of freight. Hence the few little railroads in Alaska have been barely existing. in hand-to mouth fashion hopeful therc would bc turn In affairs that would call for trnns- pcrtation service.
 Pioneers must have encouragement and Inducements to conquer now ter ritory. Likewise pioneer railroads should have Inducements. otherwise cn pital will not take tho risks. X deal nf money have been spent in the con struction of what few railroads Alas ka has and tic present outlook for returns on the investment is dubious. A notc of encouragement Is found in the annual message of President Will son. Hc says that Alaska as q store : hcusc. "should be unlocked" Ono key ta 1t Is m system of railways. and he would have the federal government build them. How the tempcting re- ss urces of Alaska are to he exploited tho president dfoes not specifically

 His idea of consrrvation is n"t "ch' ing resources up. but using them w'se- lv we must use the resources or the .,untry and not Iak them up i"' .uys. He. believes IL can Le don" |" w.Ii.considered regulation. I'll" duty .f .,pening Alnska |" development ir' .,cscribcs as every pressing ami very imperative"
 There is not doubt that if the re- sources of Alaska are released for development there will he work for greater population and there Will be freight for the railroads. Residents of Alaska have contended with enor' nous difiicuities through long period of opposition and inaction of the req cral government. It looks now as relief is on the way.-Tacoma Ledger

 For months the American govern ment has been flirting first with one side in Mexico and then with the other and in the ond has been turned down" by both sides.
 Huerta was a naughty boy and would not do what his brother Uncle Sam told him to do so Uncle Sam called his ambassador home and told I,uerta thet. Just for that he should not hav0 any more toys In the shape of rifles and bullets to play with.

 1 When Willie Carranza got what he 1 wanted he was just as mean and nasty ] as JOhny Huerta and lie told the little boy from the United States to get out of his yard and stay out just like Huerta had said it. It was a mean trick but the good little boy from Washington was booted over the back fence of Mexico just as he had been booted over the front fence of Mexico
 It was all right though. The lit- tic American boy did not mind being kicked out of the other fellows yard so he just stood looking through the renee and being glad that he was no, a naughty boy like Willie Carranza end Johnny Hucrta.
 And while the little boy from Washington looked on at the two boys playing in the next yard another nt- tie .boy from across the street came over and wanted to play. The bad boys let him in and then they proceed .d ,o beat him up a whole lot and tol take all of his toys away from him.
