RAILROAD PROJECT
COMING THIS WAY
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Meridian, Miss, Feb. 1.-THE
election held in the city for the issu-
ance of $25 900 in bonds for termi-
nails for the Meridian and Bigbee
Valley railroad, resulted in the sue
cess of the bond issue by an excess
of so votes over the necessary two
thirds required under the city char
ter. This means, according to Vice
President S. A. Neville, that work
on the road will be pushed rapidly,
Already one mile has been graded
and a connection, through the hills
near the city, will be formed by a
junction with the grading that was
formerly done for the Meridian and
Deep Water.
Mr.. Neville says that he has the
contract for the grading and that he
expects to have 81 miles of the line
completed by the end of the year
This will carry the new road to some
point on the Alabama, Tennessee and
Northern, with which close traffic
arrangements will be made. The
road will, be continued to the Tombig-
bee river, and it is believed that il
will eventually be carried to Pensa-
cola, Florida.

LOTS OF FEATURES
FOR CARNIVAL

This years Mardi Gras celebra-
ton in Pensacola promises to far
surpass anything ever before at
tempted here, especially from the
amusement standpoint. The Greater
Sheesley Shows, which have been
spending the winter months here,
have been awarded the contract to
furnish all attractions for the Mid
way. Mr.. Sheesley has spent several
thousand dollars in purchasing new
equipment for the coming season, and
when the shows open here next week
Pensacolians will have the oppor-
tunity of seeing one of the largest
and best carnival organizations ever
assembled.
The trained wild animal arena is
the feature attraction, and this par
ticular show has been greatly aug.
mented since its last appearance in
our city. Queen Victoria, the cele-
brated trained elephant, was pur-
chased at the close of the past sea-
son from the Bostock interests, and
will be seen daily in the big animal
show on the Sheesley Midway.
The ROYAL Midget Theatre is a new
attraction this year. and is expected
to be one of the leading shows. These
popular little folks present an enter
tainment which is especially pleasing
| to the ladies and children.
The big autodrom, so much in EVIL
| dence last season, has been retained
for 1917, and is under the manage
ment of 0. K. Hager, who, together
with his sister, Miss Olive Hager
presents an exhibition of motorcycle
and automobile driving on a perpen'
dicular wooden track. Too much
cannot be said in advance of th'
ability of these people, but suffice
| is it to say tht Hagers are recognized
as two most daring autodrom rider.

EST innate Loss
ON FLORIDA FRUIT

Gainesville, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE
Bureau of Crop Estimates, U. s.
Department of Agriculture, through
the field agent of Florida, has made
a careful investigation into the
citrus situation since the recent cold
weather, particularly as regards the
fruit which remained to be shipped.
The field agent has visited person
ally very considerable part of the
producing sections, consulted with
authorities from every county ex-
cept from Brevard south, on the
east coast. In addition, several hun
dreds of inquiries were sent to a
special list by mail, to which there
was full response.
From all data available, it ap-
pears that approximately 85 per cent
Of the oranges and rs per cent of
the grapefruit remaining in the
state were more or less badly iced.
It is estimated that there were about
100000 boxes of oranges and TAO
600 grapefruit in the state.
In the northern tier of citrus coun-
ties, the loss of fruit was practically
total. In the next tier to the south,
the loss appears to be somewhat less,
although 100 per cent is reported as
badly frosted in many localities here.
On the other hand, isolated groves
report the fruit saved by firing.
Parts of Pinellas, the northern part
Of Polk, that part of Osceola south
2ast of Lake Tohopekaliga and Mer-
rits Island, report the fruit loss as
light. The same is true of the East
coast south. A considerable proper
ton of the fruit is being, and will
be shipped; just what this proportion
will be is problematical.
Young groves suffered severely
many being killed to the bank.

Field Agent for Florida.

sPNcIAL no THE JouRNAL.

Tampt, Feb. 11.-Among the
many things that have served during
the past several years to advertise
Florida and bring people into the
state, the South Florida Fair and
Gasparilla Carnival has played an
important part. 1t has grown in in
creasing scope and splendor from
year to year until this year it broke
all records. People came from all
over the country to be present at this
annual festival
The South Florida Fair and the
Gasparilla Carnival were promoted
as one big affair, although they were
originally unconnected. The fair part
of this years festival was all that a
fair should be. There were agricul-
tural exhibits, educational exhibits,
county exhibits, poultry, cattle and
hog exhibits, and other interesting
displays and exhibits. Some twenty
counties, mostly counties in South
Florida, were represented on the
grounds. They had on exhibit a spe-
cimen of everything that is grown in
their respective counties. One is led
to wonder when looking over these
exhibits what it is that cannot be
grown or cannot be done in Florida.
Horse racing, one of the biggest
factors in state fairs little farther
north, also played large part in the
South Florida fair. Many horses OF
world reputation and worlds records
were seen in action on the dandy lit
tie haf-mfle track in Tampa during
the last ten days. Several horsemer

DILLON PLAN TO CUT MILK
PRICES FOUND UNFEASIBLE
Administrator Williams Says II
Would Take Six Months to
Start Direct Deliveries.

Arthur Williams. Chy Food Admin
istrator, announced to-day that the
plans Of John ]. Dillon. former Com
missioner OF Foods and Markets. to
lower the cost Of milk to the consumer
by direct delivery from terminal to
grocer. have been demonstrated to be
unfeasible at the present time.
Mr.. Dillon's plans to eliminate the
middle man were discussed at a con-
ference yesterday attended by Mr..
Williams. f. G. Welcott. representing
Mr.. Hoover. and the Commissioners.
Mr.. Dillon advocated buying motor
trucks to take the milk TO all city
stores and let It be delivered from there
| TO the customer.
The Food Administrator said It would
require six months to install the plan In
even fair working order. There are
1000 stores In the city. A motor truck
can deliver to perhaps 800 points a day.
Mr.. Williams estimated on only 5000 OF
S per cent OF the stores to be served
and found that as many as twenty
trucks might be required. while prop
erly equipped terminal would have 70
