The Star wishes to remind our bus
mess men of a promise a number of
them made a few weeks ago, but
which they are slow in fulfilling. We
refer to the Oklawaha Valley railroad,
to which they pledged as much bust
ness as they could give. So far they
have given it mighty little. The road
is doing fairly we'll at present. Re-
ceiver Christensen has put it on d
business basis, and trains, considering
meager equipment, are running with
reasonable regularity. Between the
Wilson Cypress Company and the
Rodman Lumber Company, its trains
have all they can do. But this timber
business is not going to last much
longer. Ere many months, the supply
will be exhausted. Then the road
must have other business or suspend
That business can only come from Pa
latka and Ocala. There are not enough
people along the line of the road to
give it traffic enough to keep it alive
