OWNS LARCE:
RANCH On Bic
BLUE RIVER
OIL OPERATOR WILL DEVOTE A
PART OF HIS TIME IN BREED
ING FINE CATTLE. OWNS A
WATER POWER SITE.

Frank a. Gillispie, OF Tulsa, wealthy
oil operator and owner of considera-
bic Tulsa business property, was in
the city last night, the guest of NJ. w
Shriver with whom he is associated
in business.
Mr. Gillispie has purchased the
Brown water power site on Big Blue,
together, with 1000 acres of ranch
land. Recently he paid $1,000, each
for two white-faced Hereford maaes
that took the first premium at the
Fort Worth fat stock show and like
wise five heifers of the same breed,
and will devote part of his time to the
raising of fancy cattle Besides the
above he has at present about 500
head of other cattle on the ranch.
The water power site on Blue has
been the source of great deal of dis
cussion among engineers for some
time, and it is estimated that enough
power can be developed there with a
fivefoot dam to furnish electric power
to all the cities near the falls, for
lighting power and interurban use, at
any rate, Mr. Gillispie win in all prob
ability develop something worth while
from his new holdings.

In each city they pass through, they
stop long enough to sell local papers,
and when they have a few dollars
ahead, they start on toward the west
Proctor said they rode on the trains
when they have money, and walk
when they are out of funds, and most
of the time they walk They left New

PAT MURPHY, PROS
PECTIvE AUTHOR

Pat Murphy. one of Florida's old
time lobbyists threatens to write a
book on the inside political history
of the state for the past twenty-five
years-that is, to get some literary
light to write the graveyard" facts
az he presents them. Certainly would
make interesting reading, wouldn't
it?
"Sez to myself" says Pat, "f
tould write I'd name the bloomin'
book Hypocrisy and I'd devote me
time to telling the GOOD people av
Florida how they're been double
crossed by some av their 'saviours
Many is the time I've had thin ask
me where they could get hundred
dollars or more, their plea bein' that
they wanted to pay a debt to some
lou ',-sufferin' creditor. The coin
would soon be forthcomin' from
som corporation they was pre-
tendin' to fight. Sometime they'd
spend it all without payin the al
legged debt, and sometime they'd get
so generous that they'd pay the
t)ushin' creditor half and keep the
other half for themselves. The dear
lovin and trustin people would be
surprised to know the names av

We do not know how much Pat
knows or doesn't know, but we dc
know that history of the inside
workings of the Florida political
game from the day in which the

ing the jennings administration to
the present, would make interesting
reading for the people of Florida r

The conventional thing-the h.

express satisfaction with the result
of yesterdays primary We prefer,

This disappointment is not based on
any consideration derogatory to the
honesty or capacity of the personnel
OF the incoming Board as a whole :.
There are splendid men on the Board
as whole; but we fear that in it's
entirety the element of progressive
ness will not dominate it. For this
reason we opposed someof the can
didates composing tor, rather, we
favored other candidates whom we
considered more likely to inaugur-
ate and carry out the policies of con-
structive citizenship so necessary to
the growth that it is our hope and
desire this city may make.
Having thus frankly stated our
disappointment, we now declare our
sincere hope that we may be again
disappointed, in our anticipations,
and that harmony and pro, ress may
characterize the incoming admins
tration's career We certainly have
no reason to hope for any other con

city of Lakeland are so closely and

would be little less than suicidal in
a business sense, for us to contribute
by any act, or even by inaction, to
