Whereas, This board is informed
that the specifications for work on the
section of road No. in Marion county
lying between Belleview and the Lake
county line are such that contractors
proposing to use Ocala lime rock in
such construction viii be prevented
from bidding on said work on account
of the fact that the specifications as
drawn leave the engineer in charge
unlimited power to accept or reject
any an all lime rock that the contrac-
tor might wish to use; and,
Whereas, 1t appears that the speci-
fications for road work in other coun-
ties of this state, the state road de-
partment incorporated a special pro-
vision relative to the use of Ocala
lime rock and permitting the reason
able use thereof; and,
Whereas, 1t is the sense of this

Big Sale Set for August
IL, IL and ID.

Dates for the sale of lots by the
Teapot, Development company on the
recently announced site of the town
of Teapot, have been set for August
IA, IL and 10. The Ina plating and
mapping of the townsite has bees COM
pleted and the lots are ready to be
placed on sale Immediately.
The site OF the new town of Teapot
is on the former patented Beatton
homestead, on the main casper-Salt
Creek highway. half way between the
Teapot oil dome being developed by
the Mammoth oil company, and the
main Salt Creek field.
This location has advantages seldom
found on a new TOWNSHIP. The main
highway runs through it; the eceptly
surveyed branch Of the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad from Buck
mum to Salt Creek, traverses II; the
telephone line touches it; the gas
mains of the Salt Creek field. which
viii supply gas for fuel and light; are
but a few miles distant and the water
supply is adequate to handle a popu-
iation of $1,000.
The site has within a radius of six
miles a population OF $500 and n pay
| roll of $3.50, 900 monthly. both Of which
| should be augmented when the Nam
moths program is in full swing.
For this reason IT presents unusual
| business possibilities. Several busi-
ness men have recognized this fact
and have purchased lots to start en-

enough to bring IN a producer, as the
location OF the faults In this vicinity
would indicate. the value of the lots
would jump TO untold amounts ~
night For this reason the hackers of
the company believe they are offering
investors and unusual opportunity.
An office has been established on the

Smithheld. Va, short distance from
Norfolk, Just when he Is unable to
say, Hudson says he sailed up the
James River, when he was going
after a motor. Soon after leaving
Smithheld he became III and was
compelled for a time TO let his boat
drift. Evidently he either fell
asleep. or became unconscious. as
the next thing he remembers was
that his boat was being tossed about
by the waves and the discovery that
he was far from land. 1t is evident
that the tide or wind had carried his
boat out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Although very weak Hudson says
he realized his peril and endeavorcd
to return 10 the shore. but owing 20
his condition made little headway.
At times he could not see land. then
taking his bearings from birds evil
IDENTIFY off shore. he would soon be
abe to see tree tops. How long this
lasted Hudson does not know as he
lost all count OF the days. He had
provided himself with very little
food as he had only planned a short
trip and he soon began to suffer the
pangs of hunger. Fortunately he
had an ample supply OF water on
board, but after time this became
hot and nauseating.
Evidently a part OF the time he
was delrious. as some OF his remarks
would indicate, but even when his
fever rose and reason tottered he
seemed to have held to- his course,
finally bringing his boat up the Del
aware River.
The last hundred miles OF his trip
was within sight Of land. but Hudson
thought ne was on the James River
and held to his course until he drop
ped on the deck from exhaustion and
was found seriously Ill.
Hudson thinks IL the nurses would
let him get up he would soon he well
but II is very evident that he fails
TO realize his condition.
He said yesterday that he had a
wife and several children and he
wants to go home. He declined an
offer TO have a message sent them
as he is afraid It would scare his
wife IL she learned he was in a hos
pital and that Il would be better to
walt until he gets stronger. hut the /
chances now are that the first mes |
sage his family receives will be that 4
