Restore Traffic.

The Board OF County Commissioners
held a special meeting Thursday morn
ing to- make arrangements for carrying

so that traffic could be resumd-
Chief points that sustained damage
were the bridges, and while few were
permanently smashed, much repair work
will be necessary before they will be en-

MANY INTERESTED
IN THE JOURNAL

A number Of progressive citizens,
approaching the efforts of The Jour
nal for Pensacola, have co-operated
with us, enabling this paper to come
out full size, publishing entirely in. its
own plant.
Fred Massey, of the L. & N. shops,
supplied two machinists who hooked
up the Inotypes to the gas engine
loaned by the city.
J. II. Smithwick came to our rescue
with his big gasoline engine which
Runyon & Cos machinists attached
to the press, and Anderson & Barnes
supplied us with brand new Ford
chassis to operate the stereotype max
ing plant.
Tom Hanlon in the meantime, had
been moving heaven and earth to give
US the electric juice, and Just as we
started rushing the news into type,
success crowned his efforts.
Sales of The Journal yesterday
morning quickly exhausted the sup
ply and new edition had to be run
off. This paper contained the first
account Of Pensacola's record-break-
ing storm, and hundreds Of copies
were sent away.

Corn Loss of w. c. Barri-
neau Saved by Silo

SATSUMAS HURT;
PEcANs NOT
Roads Bad But Barrineau
Comes to Arrange
Cattle Trip.
SATSUMAS HURT;
PECANS NOT

How safe is the plus-silage
proposition, is shown by the case of
w. G. Barrineau, one of our modern
agriculturists, who owns splendid
place near Barrineau Park.
Mr.. Barrineau had 200 acres of corn
from which he expected a yield of g.
600 bushels, which were laid flat by
the terrible wind. Most of this is a
total loss, from a grain standpoint,
as the corn was at the pollen stage
and thepollen was all thrashed off.
The older corn, however, while it pre-
sents very sad appearance, lying
flat on the ground, will neverthele
make good ears.
The 81 xthousand bushels of corn
represents approximately $4,000, or
$1,000. Mr.. Barrineau, however, has
silos and will erect other silos, and
will make Stage of the crop, which
viii be worth at the very least $40,
net, an acre, or $1,000. Small ears
may form on the young stalks and
the feed value will be high; and turn
ing the storm waste into beef lis a
great deal better to seeing the stalks
rot on the ground.
Mr.. Barrineau reports pecan trees
badly broken by the storm, but the
extent of the nut loss is not ascer-
tanned. Except on branches which
were broken, the loss from drops is
thought to be inconsfderable, as the
young nuts adhere most tenaciously
and have not yet reached the stage
when their weight would cause them
to snap off.
The injury to the satsuna crop is
thought to be considerable as the
fruit was large and heavy and there
are many falls.
Mr.. Barrineau, who came to Pensa
cola to attend the meeting of the
county commissioners, reports the
road from his place to Molino badly
| damaged, with all the culverts wash
ed out. He made the "trip on horse
back, as the road was impractible t.
automobiles. The mail carrier hal
abandoned his automobile in favor o
the horse.
The roofs of half the farm build

were blown off. He returned to Bar
rineau Park last night, having mad
arrangements to go on The Journal

Cosmos.

The Cosmos Theater this week is CIV
ing the best show of its career. both in
genuine dramatic quality and in its
vaudeville. The greater interest nat
urally centers in DIR. George Woodruff
Johnston's tabloid comedy drama,
Your Daughter" serious and well
written play which offers not only
surprise in it's happy climax, but
chiefly in the treatment of delicate
and difficult theme, without trlteneSS
and without disposition to yield to the
temptation to be vulgar or sensational.
A mother deeply engaged in rescue
work neglects her own daughter SO far
as instructing her in the ways or the
world are concerned. The girl, left to
her own resources leaves for an even
ing of pleasure with a young man
whom her mother has declined to meet
because she is too busy with her an
nual report" Here with genuine cleV-
erness the author leaves the imagina
ton to picture that which grips the in
terest until the happy climax. The
play has real merit in its dramatic
construction and it is exceptionally
well presented by Vivian Kay and
Cara Pryor. both of whom, like the
author. are natives of Washington.
In the lighter vaudeville big hit
was made by the Tiernev four. a quar-
tet of novel comedians. singers and in
strumentalists from Atlantic City.
