Of Avoiding Criticism.

Ivan Olson, the peppery shortstop
of the pennant-chasing Dodgers. sprang
something new in the line of comedy
in game with the Pirates. Olson
had been guilty of several miscues dur
ing recent games and was being rid
den numerically by the fans. The
ieers did not help him resume his
normal stride, so he decided to equip
himself so that he could not hear the
comment from the stands if he hob

wads of cotton, which could be seen
from one side of the field to the other
and looked like pair of beacon lights
On his dome. Ivan kept them there

RETIRING WARRANTS
$4,000 Local District Warrants Re-
tired by Commissioners.

At the last regular meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners, the
clerk reported that funds of the dis
trict would justify retirement of $1O,-
900 of Charlotte Harbor special road
and bridge unsold warrants from the
sinking fund at par, and the board
instructed that the warrants be can
celled and retired.
A communication was received,
stating that the fender work around
the Charlotte harbor bridge draw is
badly in need of repairs, a number
of the piling having been entirely
eaten off by toredos and others partly
so. The communication further stat
ed that unless these piling are re-
placed at once and other repairs made
all of this work will soon disappear
and it will be very expensive to re-
place. To repair the fender will re-
quire setting about 80 piling. The
steel work of the bridge was reported
to be badly in need of paint. F. P.
King, resident engineer in charge of
the bridge, who made the re-
port, stated that the contractor
would make the necessary repairs on
a cost plus 10 per cent basis and En-
gineer King recommended that the
work be done at once. Acting upon
his advice, Mr.. Maloney was author
lied to make needed repairs.
A petition signed by Gus Cole and
others, asking that a road be opened
from Gasparilla to the Lee county
line, was presented and same was
laid over for future consideration.
The hour having arrived, bids for
clearing and grading the road from
Clark's mill to the Lee county line
were opened. Two bids were submit
ted, that of l.. NJ. Whitten, and f. o.
wilkins. The bid OF l.. NJ. Whitten
being the best bid, the clerk was in
structed to return the check of Will
Skins and Whitten's bid was held over
for futher consideration.

Big HOTEL IS BEING
VASTLY IMPROVED
VIII Soon be One OF Florida's Finest
Tourist Hostelrys.

Manager Payne has a large force
of painters, plumbers and carpenters
busy putting Hotel Punta Gorda in
shape for the official opening in
January. The outside of the big
building is being adorned with an
attractive coat of golden rod. Var
ious colors will brighten the different
parts of the interior. The color
scheme has not yet been fully decid-
ed upon, but some of the rooms will
be done in blue, some in maroon,
others in ultramarine, and so on
throughout both rooms and halls.
In this particular, every thing will
be given an artistic touch to har-
monize the effects of ornamentation
of ceilings and walls. 80"
More important and desarble
lowever, than the prettiest paint is
practical comfort in the rooms, and
this is being given especial attention
by the installation of twenty addi-
tional baths in the west wing. The
plumbers are diligently at work on
this improvement, while the carpen-
ters are cutting, doors through walls
to connect rooms in suites of two's,
tAree's and four's for the accommo-
dation of families.
When all these improvements are
completed, as they will be in time
for the opening, Hotel Punta Gorda,
in the character of it's appointments
and accommodations will be the
equal of any hotel in Florida; and
it may be added that no other hotel
has or will have q moro courteous,
attentive or capable manager than
Ray Payne.
