Florida East Coast
R'y To Burn
Oil For Engines
Instead of Coal

st. Augustine, April 29-vice
President J. P. Beckwith of the
Florida East Coast Railway has just
completed an official tour of inspec.
ton down the coast and while in
Miami was interviewed by a repre-.
sentative Of the Miami Herald. That
paper, in its issue of last Thursday
says:
Because of delay to the arrival
of certain materials to be used in
the construction Of the Florida East
Coast Railway Company's oil tanks
at Seventh street and the railroad,
the oil-burning system on the COM
pany's engines will not go into effect
until about June list, according to
Vice-President J. P. Beckwith, who
was Miami visitor, recently. Ac-
companying Mr.. Beckwith in his
private car were E. Ben Carter, road
master, and N. w. Mier, formerly
chief clerk to the late General Man
ager Morton Riddle, and now an
employe in Mr.. Beckwith's office.
1--WE have been delayed on the oil
tanks because some of the materials
to be used in their construction
comes from a great distance said
Mr.. Beckwith, and instead of oper-
ating with oil-burner locomotives on
May list, as we had expected, we
will not be able to do so until about
June 1st.'
1.-The burning of oil instead of
coal in the locomotives will occasion
but little change in the tenders
Mr.. Beckwith advised.
We simply place the tanks where
We now put our COAL he explained,
and the capacity is about fifty bar
rels, which is equivalent to four
teen tons of coal. The fire box, in.
stead of having CRATES is filled in
with brick and walled up with con-
crete and brick and the steam and
oil burner is placed so that it takes
up but very little room and is hard f.!
ly noticeable
"The tanks to be located at Sew
enth street are merely temporary
and will serve as auxiliary to the
main supply tank which later will
be placed at Buena Vista. A large
tank at Key West has been installed,
this being the first one erected, since
the decision to burn oil instead of
coal was reached.

AUSTRIANS OBJECT TO
INCREASING MACHINERY PLANTS
(By Associated Press, J

Vienna, April 28-Learning that
certain Austrian cotton mills plan
ned to increase the number of looms,
the Association of Austrian Cotton
Weavers has issued an emphatic
warning against any such step. 1t
pointed out that while a large num-
Der of looms are occupied with army
contracts, the general trade situa-
ton is far from satisfactory, and the
present is no time for increasing
machinery plants.
The Associations circular goes on
to say that the future is no more
favorable either. Exports will GER
tainly not be made easier by the
war, but will be much more difficult.
In the last three or four years seell-
ing prices, through over-produc-
ton, have been from five to ten per
cent below cost of manufacture. 1t
is absolutely senseless therefore, it is
contended, to think Of increasing in
vestments the cotton business in
Austria under present conditions.

A LITTLE WHILE

A little while the tears and laughter
The myrtle and the rose
A little while, and what comes after
No man knows.
An hour to sing, to love and linger**
Then lutanist and lutte
Shall fall on silence, song and singer
Both be mute.
Our gods from our desires we fash
ion
Exalt our baffled lives
And dream their vital bloom and
passion
Still survives.
But when we're done with mirth
and weeping,
With willow and with rose,
Shall Death take Life into his keep
ing?
No man knows.
What heart hath not through twi-
light places
Sought for its dead again.
To gild with love their pallid faces**
Sought in vain.
Still mounts the dream on shining
pinion
Still broods the dull distrust
Which shall have ultimate dominion,
Dream, or dust?
A little while with grief and laugh
ter,
And then the day shall close;
The shadows gather - What comes
after
No man knows,

Returning Prosperity
Has Lifted NeV York
Ont OF Its DUMPS

Observer the Cincinnati En-
quirer's special correspondent at
New York, sends the following re-
view of the business situation as
seen from that point:
This was week of sweeping ac-
tivities in every line of finance, of
of commerce, of industry, in this city
and throughout the entire country.
Downtown is in a whirl of ex-
element over the advances in prices
of stocks and securities, and uptown
is already feeling the impetus of re-
turned confidence and is showing it
at the leading hotels, cafes and res
taurats. A moth more of the crowd
ing forward Of business activities
and New York City will be boasting
once again as to how it has saved
the country, while the fact is that
the greatest barrier and obstacles
that the business of the country has
had to overcome was the continual
cry of New York city interests
against prevailing conditions and
the wall of discomfort that for years
had goe out from here.
These people howled against
Roosevelt in many ways and at diff
ferent times they expressed their dis
satisfaction with Taft and his ad-
ministration; they have no love for
Wilson or his try to use it for their
purposes. and they have been COM
pletely upset and astonished by see
ing this business boom assume such
strength and volume without their
consent or approval.

coVery of farmers living near Oak
creek, i'll the southern part of No
Ian county, after a severe hail
storm Sunday.
Many large fish We're killed by
the hailstones, which were as large
as hens eggs, and in other places
the hail choked the creek and froze
the fish to death. They We're found
lying on the banks of the creek
after a rise, caused by the heavy
rain accompanying the hail, had

In the southwestern part of the
county hail fell for a considerable
time. beating the leaves off fruit
trees and running the fruit. Crops
We're badly damaged A few miles
below Maryneal, in this county,
crops of all kinds were practically
wiped out and will have to be re
planted. A heavy rain fell all over
the county Sunday afternoon.
