Because 1t has heretofore been thu
| least advertised locality in West Florllda
the town Of Laurel Hill, located in the
North Okaloosa county hill country or
the Yellow River division of the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad, seventeen
miles northeast Of Crestview. is perhaps
the least generally known community IN
West Florida.
Nevertheless, within the past two years
| one Of the most conspicuous experiments
ever undertaken in this section OF the
EIdorado of West Florida, has been de-
ve1oped into a permanent industry OF
large proportions at Laurel Hill and the
pioneers of the industry are already reap
ing a golden harvest as reward ior
their efforts. --.
Laurel Hill. twenty five years ago. was
the center of one of the most extensive
pine forest properties in West Florida
Following the pine, or, Is the forests
were denuded of their wealth of timber
to be sawn into lumber and timber for
export through the port of Pensacola,
the fertile hilIsides and valleys of the
vicinity were transformed into farms for
the culture Of cotton and corn; potatoes
and sugar cane. And the productivity OF
these farms was. above the average. But
God created this section of Florida for
the culture OF crops more remuneratiVe
than the staple crops of agriculture; and
tnOu2n Iney were q ucHS ilIuiAAS ills
out in the Laurel Hill neighborhood, the
lesson has at last been learned and with
in the two years just past, Laurel Hill
has been developed into truck farm
ing center which will make it famous
throughout the country within the com
ing five years.
Man or Vision Did II.
OF course it took a man OF vision. a
dreamer, II you please. to see the posi-
billities of the development Of the truck
ing industry there and of course the sit
uation at Laurel Hill developed a man
of vision-a dreamer CT dreams-to lead
the way to what is being done there
in the production OF truck farm pro-
ducts-beans, squash, okra, spinach
green peas, lettuce, etc. And that man.
rye been informed, is D. J. Sullivan, a.
live wire of the community who has
located a market for the consumption of
every pound of truck farm products
which can be raised in the vicinity. and
who ships all Of the stuff turned out by
the farms in the neighborhood.
Nor is this output of fresh vegetables
in any sense inconsiderable, either.

AMERICA AND FRANCE DEEPLY IN
TERESTED IN BONAR LAW.

TERESTEO IN eONAR LAW.
Attention is called by many editors tc
| the significance of Premier Bonar Laws
declaration that England's foreign policy
| is to be changed. The Canadian view
as exemplifed by the Toronto Star, is
that if the United States maintains its
policy of aloofness of France its policy
of obstruction they hardly can blame
Britain for washing her hands of con-
tinental problems and this is believed to
be just what Bonar Law has in mind.
There is a wide difference of opinion
among editors regarding the perma =
nency of the Bonar Law government in
England but everywhere the capacity of
the new premier is conceded.

| Editor Journal:
1 wish to congratulate you on your
! editorial Cultivated Unrest" Such
brazen favoritism as you mention is
breeding anarchy among the people of
this land. We are aware that the man
CT moderate means and the poor have
always borne the brunt of taxation, and
it is surprising how they have stood for
such burdens. This act Of Treasurer Mel
len is an outrage and should not be per-
mitted, but what can be done?
1t is not necessary, however, to go
thtat far from home to find tax dodgers.
{ They are here in Florida A case in
point. When the late H. NJ. Flasler died.
he was a citizen of St.. Johns county.
Mr.. Flagler left an estate, the personal
property Of which was appraised by the
court at a little more than forty-siX mil
lions of dollars. The county tax as
sesscr Of st. Johns county assessed that
huge fortune at seventy-five thousand
dollars! Throgh the herculean work of
the tax commission (of which I had the
honor to be member) aided by certain
loyal men at st. Augustine, this property
was assessed at 10000, 600 The county
board without notice to the tax commits
sion, reduced this to $1,000, 900 and the
courts finally relieved the estate Of that:
Another case: About 1914 the state rail-
road commissioner promulgated a new
classification Of rates covering what is
known as Glass p. This classification re-
duced the former rate and the big rail-
roads objected to such reduction, but
finally all the big roads except the F.
E.. c. Railway accepted the reduction
The F. E. c. refused to obey the order.
Whereupon the commission sued out a
writ of ~mandumus to compel compliance
by said railroad. The record in this
case Is substantially as follows: Mr.. J.
t. BeckTHth, ce-president, in his effort
to quash the action, said under oath that
the rate. proposed would not produce a
reasonable income, on a rea sonable val
uation (as had been held by the u. s.
supreme court in a case before it pre-
Eiously) and that the property was worth
$50, 900, 600. He stated that this was a
reasonable valuation Now this was Il
think, in August, 1914. January 1st.
1915. was the time to make tax returns
for 1915 and this same man, Beckwith,
made the returns under oath and he
said the total value of the railway and
its properties was just little over ST.
100000. about ii per cent of what he
claimed it was worth for rate making:
But this return was not accepted by the
comptroller. This kind gentleman.
through the goodness Of his heart, re-
duced this to about $4,000. 900. OF course
the people would never know, but they |
did find out, and the returns from the
1915 primary election showed that they |
had found 1t out.

These are some of the wonders which
two young Australians are going to seeE
in the wilds of New Guinea, the last
great unexplored region on the earths

They are Lucius o. B. Connolly and

on expeditions ever since childhood. But
none presented the dangers of their lat

In an exclusive interview with NEA
Service Connolly told of their plans.
Few persons realize" he said, that
New Guinea. is the largest island in the
world outside Australia. And it is the
one about which least is known.
The interior has never been ex-
plored. 1t is thought that there are
mountains as high as any in the world.
Savage tribes within close proximity of
the coast have various stories handed
down from father to son for many gen
eratichs about the wonders of the island
about the pigmies with tails, the saw

we want to go.
I'VE propose to map it, to study its

as we can about the people, TO locate

find out the kinds of things that can be
profitably grown, SO as to add to the

1t is a pity that more deaf mutes haven't
gone in for politics" 1t is the opinion
Of the Minneapolis Journal that Bonar
Laws policy would resemble the Amer
lean policy toward Europe. If the con-
tinent can't save itself, Britain can't
save it: and put upon its own resources,
the continent can better work out its
own salvation" And the Philadelphia
Public Ledger asserts that 1.-The smoke
