RESULTS OF ANARCHY.
IN RUSSIA
People are Starving to Death by
Thousands in Moscow and
PetrOgrad
ASSOCIATED Pressl

London, March starvation pre-
walls throughout Bolshevik Russia and
is killing off the population by thou
sands. Diseases due to under-nour-
ishment are rampant. Food is so
scarce in Petrograd and Moscow that
cats sell readily for three dollars each.
Undertakers cannot cope with condi-
tions, as there is not enough wood for
coffins. Several Britishers who had
lived nearly all their lives in Russia
have left because of the intolerable
conditions. They brought reports of
the conditions to the British govern
ment's attention.
Their evidence is unanimous that
the food situation is indescribably
terrible, and if means are not found
to alleviate it the inhabitants of Boil
sheYik Russia may starve to death in
Petrograd in three weeks. Alos they
reported milk as selling for five dol
lars a pint; pork, thirty dollars a
pound; butter. forty-five dollars; tea,
S125, and potatoes. 1915.

Line elevator at Port Tampa can
handle both pebble and hard rock.
When some Of the hard rock was
moved out of here via Tampa he says
that all of it went via Coast Line. He
is rather of the opinion that even if
the Tampa Northern were extended
into the hard rock phosphate fields
the rock would still go out via Fern
andina, but admits that his informa-
tion as to the capabilities of the
Tampa elevators is not positive.
Summed up, Dunnellon hopes to see
both the Seaboard and the Coast Line
make the northwestern route extern
sions and believes that in time both
viii be made.

the northwestern outlet is so logical
that it is sure to be built. Mr.. Tillis
called attention to the high grade of
construction as indicating that the
Coast Line must have had something
more in view than branch line.
"Of course Dunnellon, of itself,
would have little to offer in the way
of traffic" said Mr.. Tillis, "but it
would be of much advantage to our
section to have the road opened and it
is quite certain to me that the Coast
Line intends in time to open it.
Otherwise. why would they have built
it in such permanent shape as they
did? 1t is not a branch line by any
means. When the road was under
way it was talked good deal that the
Coast Line expected to build the gap
from Perry to Monticello, too, but the
war came on and nothing was DONE"
Mr.. Tilhs says nothing has been
heard of late about the extension of
the Seaboard from Brooksville to In
verness, distance of about 20 miles,
which would put the hard rock phos-
phate district in and about Inverness
and Dunnelion, In touch with ship-side
at Tampa by direct route not over
GO miles long.
Hard Rock to Fernandina
All of the hard rock in this section
moved CUB before the war via Sea-
board to Fernandina, distance of
about 80 miles, where it was put
aboard vessels with the exception of
the shipments made by the Dunnellon
Phosphate Co. to Port Inglis and
there loaded aboard ship at the mouth
OF the Withlacoochee The Borneo, an
Austrian ship, which was interned in
Tampa harbor for two years during
the war, was taking on phosphate at
Port Inglis when the war broke out.
The Seaboard has since bought the
Standard & fernando railway, the
branch line by which the ,Dunnellon
Phosphate, Co. moved its rock, the
lighters have been moved to Tampa
and there is nothing at Port Inglis
now except the drying plant. Rock
is sent there to dry, then shipped back
through to Fernandina.
Little rock has been shipped dur
ing the war and most of the 20 mines
in this section have been more or less
idle, some of them maintaining only
lwatchmen while others, including the
Dunnellon Phosphate Co., have kept
in motion and piled up stock piles,
ready for the resumption of business
when the Central Powers are again
able TO open a line of credit and ac
cept shipments. Much of the hard rock
went from here to Germany and Aus
tria, some going to Scandinavian
countries. The pebble phosphate min
ers of Polk and Hillsborough counties
were able to find markets in this
country when the foreign markets
wer cut off, but the hard rock men
wer not so fortunate, though their
product contains higher percentage
of acid phosphate than does the peb-
bic rock. The Dunnellon Phosphate
Co. has a stock pile that looks like a
voting mountain
Should Route Via Tampa
Were the Seaboard to open its
Tampa Northern line to Inverness
there is no reason why the hard rock
mined in this section should not go
out through Tampa, unless, possibly,
the Seaboard elevator is not adapted
| to moving the hard rock output. Mr..
Tillis understands that the Seaboard
elevators are adapted only to handling
lpebble phosphate, while the Coast

Evidently the railroad people had in
mind completing this road out of the
state and making a short line from
South Florida to the northwestern
gateway which would mean much to
South Florida and very much to the
country that would be opened up by
this extension. Certainly the Coast
Line did not put in such a good road
to use only as it now does, to carry on
la logging business with a passenger
train three times a week. 1t is true
that there is little development out
side of lumber In the district reached
now, but once it is thrown open it has
potentialities that will attract a large
Ipopulation. Some Of the best farming
land in the state is located in the
counies north of here and the time is
coming when they will support great
numbers of cattle and raise quantities
of corn, cotton and general farm
products.
