PRACTICAL CATTLEMAN
SEES OPPORTUNITIES IN
WEST FLORIDA NOW

That the many advantages for cat
tie farming offered by West Florida
have not been exaggerated is the
opinion of w. R. Dortch, successful
farmer and cattle grower of Little
Rock, Ark.
Mr.. Dortch, who is associated with
his brothers in the operation of a
4,000-acre cotton and cattle farm a
few miles out from Little Rock,
stopped over in Pensacola after at
tending the Southern Cattlemen's As
ociation, at Shreveport, La. Mr..
Dortch expressed the opinion that this
section offered great opportunities for
cattle farming than even the cattle
setcion of Texas. He expressed sur
prise that this industry had not been
more developed here.
Mr.. Dortch has travelled over most
of the cattle raising sections of the
west, and, in addition to being large
and successful farmer, has received
scientific agricultural training at the
University of Arkansas and the State
Agricultural College of Georgia.
While in Pensacola, Mr.. Dortch was
the guest of ]. M. Purdon, Jr., and N.
P. Bassett. He left Thursday night

Derelict Schooner Blown Up
But How 1t Happened

Gasoline, Cartridges or Dyn-

Quite mystery presented itself
for solving Thursday when the dere-
lict schooner J. F. duBignon, which
had been towed from the gulf early
in July bottom-side up, was righted,
on the west side of one of the G. F.
& A. company's piers. The hosting
engine of that company was employed
to place the old vessel on an even
keel, and when this was done the pre-
vious assertions that the schooner
appeared to have suffered considera-
bic damage from an explosion were
amply proven.
The entire after part of the vessel
from the mizzenmast to stern, ap-
pears to have been suddenly forced
out. There were people on the wharf
inspecting the wreck in official ca
pacities who readily concluded that
the damage appeared to have been
done by an explosion from the in
terror and near the center of the
vessel, but others were just as posi-
tive that the schooner, awash and
drifting aimlessly about in the path
of commerce, had been cut through by

Louisville, KY, Aug. 24.-The Cat

today by the Business Mems Associa-
ton of Shelbyville. The county fair
of Shelby county, which has been held

In Shelby county there are more
and better Jersey cattle than in the
Island of Jersey. The preferred herds
are the best in Kentucky, if not in
the world. Large numbers of Berk-
shire and Poland China hogs are pro-
duced.
Tomorrow the party visits various

Beyond the little excitement which
prevailed at adjournment, when. Hal

other than routine business was trans

The resolution which Adams at

London, Aug. 24.-The British and

on the Somme front, according to
Paris.
Mauprepas has fallen to the French,
who pushed forward more than two
hundred yards beyond the town on
the front of a mile and a quarter.
The British report three hundred
yard advance south of Thiepval and
the capture of many prisoners. The
capture of Maurepas leaves Clery al
most surrounded and brings French
directly in front of the important rail
road town of Combes. Thiepval is in
the same position as Clery.
Dispatches from Somme indicate
the French are preparing to extend
their offensive thirty miles south of
the present battle line.
The Russian offensivc in Armenia,
it is believed, is assuming powerful
preparations.

Objection to Committees

of Wilson and Managers.

FOR 8-HOUR DAY
Unexpected Legislation May
Be Prepared in Con-
gress, It is Said.
RY AssocTATEp PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Objections
which developed tonight at the meet
ing of the railroad presidents and
managers to point in the tentative
plan evolved by the committee of
eight presidents, considering ways
to avoid the threatened general strike,
resulted in further postponement of
final action.
A statement issued by the railroad
executives tonight summed up the
situation as follows:
"At the invitation of President
Wilson, Hale Holden, Judge R. S.
Lovett and Daniel Willard went to
the White House at noon and held a
short conference with the president,
"A conference Of the railroad execu-
tives was held at o'clock and a new
phase of the situation Of some impor-
lance was laid before the conference
by the special committee.
AFTER considerable discussion
without definite action, adjournment
was taken until II o'clock tomorrow
morning. In the meantime the spe-
cial committee Of presidents win con-
tinue their labors."
The special committee plan would
provide for granting the eight-hour
the assurance that every effort would
ebasic' day to the trainmen, but with
the assurance that every effort would
be made by the administration to Sc
cure a freight rate increase to recon-
pense the roads, and the further as
surance that congress would be asked
to enact legislation to insure the
settlement of future labor disputes
through commission.
At the capital it is said that while
no specific legislation has been agreed
upon yet, in the event of failure
of negotiations to avert a strike, boil
sides will be surprised at the steps
that would be proposed in congress.

they came in wagons, in buggies, on

Probably twenty men were engaged
