1.-THE cotton factories are supplied

PLENTY OF TIMBER LEFT

Among other good things In the
latest Quarterly Bulletin, issued by
w. A. McRae. State commissioner
of agriculture, is "An Inventory OF
Florida's forests and the outlook for
the future" by Roland NJ. Harper,
formerly of the State geological sur
vey. Mr.. Harper is not among the
alarmists who prophesy that Florids
will be denuded of timber in a few
years. He says that. of the BILL
04O acres of total land area the State
contains, about $1,000 900 is forest
land, that the State still contains
immense bodies OF first-growth vel.
low pine and that the forest fires
now. since the boxing" Of the pinl
trees has been abandoned, does little
damage to timber and that they arr
really of benefit to the pine timber
as without their periodical appear
ance the young pines springing al
would be supplanted by a hammockl
growth of bushes and trees Of littl'
value.
Mr.. Harper also intimates tina
the forest area will be added to b.
drainage, as the treeless marshes
when rid of water. viii, when no
cultivated, produce trees. Beside
her many other resources Floridi
will. probably forever, also hav'

PARADE OF FLORIDA SOLDIERS
WITNESSED BY BIG CROWD

Despite the rainstorm yesterday
afternoon, upward of 1000 people
journeyed to State Camp to visit the
Florida militiamen OF the Second in
fantry and to witness the regimental
parade, which took place late in the
afternoon after the storm was over.
This was the second regimental
formation since the troops modified
at call Of the president for duty on
the Mexican border.
The regiment was In command of
Col. A. H. Blanding, and the twelve
companies and band, recently out
fitted with brand new uniforms and
equipment, made splendid showing.
The regiment, too, is showing great
improvement in appearance and dis
cipline. being far different outfit
than the one which modified over
two weeks ago.
The parade was formed on the
drill ground south of the Military
Service clubhouse, and automobiles,
some of them in double rows, were
| parked along the brick drive away
from the pier on the river to the
warehouse, their occupants following
with keen interest various features
/, of the beautiful ceremony from the
time the first battalion arrived on
the line until the last company
swung by the commanding officer
This was practically the only field
work undertaken by the soldiers yes
terday, but bright and early today
they will turn out to take up the
program of vigorous intensive train
ing SO necessary to fit the command
for active field service.
| AS far as clothing and ordinances
stores are concerned the regiment
| has practically been equipped. but
some quartermaster supplies, such al
blankets, cots. etc., are still to b.
supplied. These are expected dali,
iron government depots.
/ The field hospital unit, organized
in Jacksonville by Major R. G,
Turck, which has been mustered int
the service of the State, will not 81
to camp this morning, as plannes
Saturday, because authority from thu
war department to mobolize thu
unit had not been received las
night. This is expected today, how
ever, and as soon as received, thu
unit will proceed to camp for in
spectAon and physical examination
preparatory to muster into Unite'
States service.
Gen. J. C. R. Foster is also endeav
: oring 10 secure authority from tn
war department to mobilize tn
First infantry, National Guard o
, Florida, of which the Jacksonville
/ battalion is a unit, for its annua
summer field work. Under the recen
