HOUSES FOR VISITORS

Ocala mas not thus far, as have
numerous other Florida cities, provid-
ed very many houses which can be
rented to visitors desiring to spend
the winter here. There are several
families now inquiring for houses in
Ocala for this coming winter and it
would be quite an advantage to our
city if these people could be accom-
modated. 1t means they would come
again and likely bring along some of
their friends. That's. the way most of
our Florida towns and cities are being
built up.
Under present conditions the only
way in which houses can be arranged
for is by some of our smaller families
boarding for the winter and renting
their houses furnished. While winter
visitors should not be "gouged," they
are usually willing to pay liberal
rents. This means that some fam
lies could derive a fair income from
their homes, thereby aiding in the
present high cost of living problems.
At the same time making it possible
for Ocala to have several more resi-
dents for the winter.
The Star is now carrying an ad. for
parties desiring furnished house for
this winter. We hope they can be ac-
commodated.

IMPROVEMENTS AT
THE CITY PLANT

Thanks to the hard work of Man
ager Martin. Engineer Mckenzie and
their helpers, the machinery at the
city plant is in better shape than since
the new plant began work.
The big engine gives no more trou-
BILE but runs smoothly. The condenser
has been put in place and the spray
pond is in operation. This spray pond,
By the way, is worth going to see, the
spray from the jets. when the sun is
shining, making a fine collection of
miniature rainbows.
Another engine will soon be brought
up from the old plant, and then the
city will have full battery of driving
machinery.
Changing to oil from wood for fuel
was one of the best things ever done
at the plant. 1t is all immense saving
in both time and money.
Another improvement is that the
council having furnished the means
the superintendent has had the paint
ers busy. The water tower has receiv-
ed new paint and the good work is
going on.
All in all, the plant is far more
hopeful and good-looking proposition
than it was year ago.

RUMANIA MISSED
ITS RADIOGRAMS

Paris, Sept. 6.-The ministry of
war at Paris has received a wireless
message, according to the Intransig-
cant, which says that the Rumanian
delegation has sent rs radiograms
from Paris during the last two weeks,
but that none have arrived at their
destination.
Rumania's failure to receive at
Bucharest the messages of the su-
preme council has caused much dis
cussion among the members of the
council, who could not at first take
seriously the Rumanian governments
announcement that it had not received
the councils notes.
Since August 15 the Bucharest
wireless station has not acknowledged
the receipt of any messages, but the
council also used the land lines, and
it was considered practically impos-
sible for the messages to go astray.
The latest note of the council, which
is being carried TO Bucharest by Sir
George r. Clark, of the British for
eign Office, will unquestionably reach
the Rumanian premier, p ]. c. Brati-
ano, and until that time no response
is expected from Bucharest

CAMPFIRES OF
THE CONFEDERACY
Will Burn Again jim October for the
First Time Since 1865

First Time Since 1865
Atlanta, Sept. 6.-The campfires of
the Confederacy, quenched more than
fifty years ago at Appomatox, will
burn again in Atlanta for the first
time since the surrender, when the
Confederate veterans hold their 29th
reunion here October ITO.
At every one of these reunions the
veterans have had a camp, but they
have never had campfres, nor have
they ever had sucn an encampment as
will be provided them in Atlanta.
Piedmont Park, the beautiful city
park that covers several acres In the
north side of the city, will be turned
over bodily to the veterans. Hundreds
of government tents, with govern
ment blankets, government cots and
other government material. will dot
the spacious sward. And, best of all,
the reunion committee is placing or
ders for scores of carloads of fat
pine logs which will be used to make
fires, in the flames of which the old
comrades will vision again the scenes
of their glory and their battles.
Not all of the veterans will stay at
the encampment, although most of
them wish to do SO in order to hognob
with each other. Nearly two thou
sand, including the more aged and
infrm, will be placed in the homes OF
Atlanta people who will have them as
their guests and bestow upon them
every hospitality. And even these old
men will journey out to the encamp-
ment, only fifteen minutes street car
ride from the center of the city, to be
with the other "boys" during the day.
Reservations arc now being made
by the hundreds IN Atlanta by the
thousands of visitors who will come to
the reunion on the cheap rate of one
cent a mile which the government is
giving on all roads to any relative of
veteran, whether living veteran or
dead, and to all of those connected of
ficially with the reunion.

without the aid of the other. The
doors were unlocked jut long enough
to pass in the meals for, the men.
Then they were re-locked.
At Cheyenne third guard was
added to each car. Any attempt to
hold up and rob the treasure trains
would be made west of Cheyenne, the
government figured. Only men of
tried nerve and experience were chos-
en- for the work.
Each treasure train was preceded
by pilot train all the way from
Philadelphia to San Francisco. Any
attempt by an enemy alien to wreck
the money train would have resulted
in the wreck of the pilot and the
warning of the following train.
BRICKS WORTH $1,000 EACH
The treasure consisted of silver
bricks, each brick weighing sixty-two
pounds and worth approximately
$1,000. Each train carried between
S10,000,000 and 915,OO0,O0O of the
white bars. The value of the entire
shipment was more than $250,000, 900.
And not an ounce of the silver was
lost on American soil.
On arrival in San Francisco the
treasure cars were switched on to the
pier at which the British warships
were moored. The transfer of the sill
yer bricks to the war vessel was
guarded by soldiers as well as by the
special guards attached to the train.
Not one word of the shipments of
the great treasure got into print
while the movement was under way
but now that all reasons for secrecy
are over the story is leaking out and
is being talked about among the men
who operated the trains at they pass
ed through the Rocky Mountains
While $1.OOO,OOO silk trairs from the
Orient are not uncommon. the ship
ment of quarter of billion dollars
in silver across the continent is SO
decidedly uncommon as to attract at
tention wherever the story is told.
