River Program
20 FEET FROM OCEAN
Amendment to Rivers
and Harbors Bill Is
Already in Il

For the purpose of putting Palat-
ka squarely behind Senator Fletch-
er's efforts to secure twenty feet of
water on the St. Johns river from
Jacksonville to Palatka mass meet
ing will be held at the courthouse
Monday night at 8:15 O'Clock in con-
junction with the regular monthly
meeting of the Chamber Of Com
merce. 1t was considered best to
secure the courthouse so htat all who
desire to attend the meeting can
do so.
Senator Fletcher at the instance of
the board of governors has had an
amendment introduced by Congress-
man Sheppard providing for pre-
liminary examination and survey by
the board of engineers of the war
department with a view of giving a
20-foot channel in the St. Johns
river from Jacksonville to Palatka.
According to statement given to
The News today by one of the gov
ernors, this is an accomplishment
that has been much sought after, al
though the completion of the prof.
ect may be expected to encounter Sc
rious opposition
Present approved depth of the
channel to Palatka is 13 1-2 feet, and
lit is proposed, according to our in
formant, to operate coastwise YES
sels to Palatka loaded with pur-
chases of all central and south Flor
ida and to forward from here phos-
phate, lime, lumber and the products
of the soil for both coastwise and
Iexport. 1t is pointed out that the
total production of phosphate rock
in Florida covering a period of SO
years exceeded 40,O0O,000 tons, val
ued at approximately S160,000,000
or an annual average of over one
million tons, valued at about $4,000

the production of phosphate rock is

of Palatka, it is claimed, and it is

hundred miles to export terminals
whereas Palatka is approximately
half the distance from the center OF
the field in question. There are

woods in Florida adjacent to this
port, or that will move by vessels

July 25.-"Mountaineer- ing proper is not necessarily rashness but is entirely question of prudence and of courage of strength and stead mess, and of feeling for nature and her most hidden beauties, which are often awe inspiring, but for that req son the more sublime, and to con- templative spirit tlre more sugges- tive"
 Sir Francis Younghusband, speak ing before the Royal Geographical Society on the Mount Everest expedi- tion, used the foregoing words to eX- press the sentiment which has ami mated all those connected with the expedition, and then said they were written B years ago by a certain father Patti who has now become Pope Plus XI.
 After describing what the expedi. tiou had accomplished Sir Francis said: "The experience gained this year shows that skilled mountaineers are able to take those unskilled in high mountain craft to the highest al titudes.

BENSON-Resulting from severe electrical storm. four forest fires in the Chiricahua mountains were re- ported to the Tucson office of the for est service, according to an announce ment made today by Assistant Super visor c. w. mckenzie.
 While the extent of the forest fires is not known to the local forest ser vice officials, they indicated that any fire in the ChiricahuasN is dangerous at the present time due to the lack of rains in that vicinity.
 Although most other areas in the Coronado forest reserve have experi- enced heavy rains this summer. the Chiricahuas have remained largely drouth stricken and small forest fire in the opinion of the officials might develop into one practically uncontrol- able.
 The source of each of the four fires is believed to have lightning crashes An investigation was launched immed- lately to learn the seriousness of the four conflagrations in the heavily wooded district
