UNCLE RAYS CORNER

About 100 miles northwest OF
Richmond are some fine caves of
Virginia. They are known as the
Luray Caverns and are in a region
of sinkholes.
A sinkhole may be nothing more
than a cave with the roof fallen in
Tunnels were worn in rock by un-
derground water and the ceilings OF
the tunnels became thin and weak.
Then weight of one kind or another
caused the ceiling to fall in, making
q sinkhole.
A sinkhole can also be made by
water seeping into low part of the
ground. It may wear away the soil
and the upper layers of rock leav-
ing a large hole,
A river may drop out of sight in
a si:akhole. In Kentucky there is a
stream known as Hidden River. At
one point it drops suddenly through
a cavelike opening for distance of
about 200 feet.
a In the Alachua prairie in Florida
several small streams ran into a
sinkhole. BY and by so much mud
and rubbish were carried into the
hole that it was clogged up.
That happened in 1871. As the
months went by the water over
flowed the hole and former a pond
The bond turned into shallow lake
1 miles wide and miles long!

wide IN front of the entrance.
Around the hole is a circle of trees.
Inside the caves the visitor sees
wonderland of strange beauty.
From the ceilings hundreds and
hundreds Of stalactites hang down.
They look like white stone icicles. J"
They really are made of stone of a
sort-of mineral known as 'trayer-
tine"
The name of "dripStone" is given
to stalagmites, which rise from the
floor Of a cave, as we'll as to stalac-
tites whcih hang from the ceiling.
Odd and interesting names have
been given parts of the Luray Cav
erns. Among them are Dante's In
ferno, Skeleton Gorge, Dream Lake,
Hades. Throne Room, Dianas Bath.
Fish Market, the Tower of Babel,
Giants Hall and Fat Mans Misery.

PLAN DRILLING
FOR GAS, OIL.
OPERATIONS TO BEGIN ON
JULY FIRST IN vIcIN-
ITY OF LAKE CITY

LAKE CITY, June z FNS).-
Large-scale drilling operations
for gas and oil will be started in
this vicinity about July |, ac-
cording to Kenneth Nix, secre-
tary and treasurer of the Swift
Creek Oil Corporation. Nix has
been here for several weeks rep
resenting his firm, and has COM
pleted all preparations for the
undertaking.
The Swift Creek Oil Corpora
ton has leased $1,000 acres in
the neighborhood of Lake City,
Olustee and Lake Butler. and is
bringing in rotary drills and ex-
pert oilmen from Texas to ham
die its operations. The corpora
ton is spending large sums of
money on the project and,
although officials made no state
ments regarding the success of
the work, it is felt here that the
oil firm holds high hopes that
the drilling will prove justified.
IF we find oil or gas, of
course, said Nix, cit does not re-
quire anyone to tell US what this
will mean to this section of Flor
ida as a whole"

PORT ST. JOE, June z (FNS).
With the official opening on
June 1, of the Public Ocean
Terminals of the Port st. Joe
Terminal Company, this city
makes strong bid as the most
logical outlet for shipping be-
tween South Georgia, South Ala

ais are absolutely fireproof, with
a 100 by 800 foot warehouse.
Completion of the new $780,
900 canal connecting ST. Joseph's
Bay with the Intracoastal water
way, enables shippers through
this port to make many ship
ments entirely by water, with
excellent railroad facilities where
needed.
This port is now being served
by coastwise steamship service
between Port Newark and Corpus
Christi, Texas, intracoastal serv-
ice to west coast ports and for
eign service.

his pencil sharpened he may de-
eide to veto a lot of other appro-
priations for this and that, which
he considers unnecessary.
But you can depend on it, Fred
was sincere and meant what he
said when he told us not to wor-
ry as things would turn out all
right. For the first time a lot
of folks are findin' out that Fred
is a right smart governor. Pa
pers that have ridiculed and
laughed at him on other occa-
sions are now singing his praise.
The lobby lizards are happy, OF
course, for they were very sue
cessful in getting appropriation
bills passed and earned the
money they got from the special
interests they represent. At the
same time, the fact that there is
no money to meet EN- with is not
their fault, so when Fred gets
through with his little veto job
they can all count on going back
to Tallahassee in another two
years and try again.
The Tragic Situation pointed
to in such alarm by certain leg
islators and private interests has
turned out to be just another
bugaboo. No one has been hurt
We escaped the 4sales tax and
are going to find in the end Of
the day that we are pretty well
off. If we have to do a bit Of
economizin' here and there il
won't hurt us, and we'll find that
business will go on as usual, the
old folks will be cared for, the
schools will stay open, and with
Governor Fred lookin' after us
wen continue to get by and al
the same time keep on eatin' "a
little higher up on the hog.
And if any of you folks are sit
tin around waitin' for Fred to

of the "emergency'-wel, you're
just wastin' your time and you
might as well forget it and get

EXPERIMENT TO
BRING VISITORS
PLAN ADOPTED DEALS WITH
LATIN.AMERIcAN
VISITORS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June z
(ENSl.-A unique experiment to
attract Latin-American visitors
to Florida is being conducted by
the Seminole Hotel of this. city.
The idea and its possibilities de-
serve the study of chambers of
commerce all over the state.
The hotel has prepared a
three-color folder depicting the
attractions of Florida, with the
text entirely in Spanish. Some
twenty-five thousand of the fold
ers have already been distributed
in Cuba, South America and the
Latin-American countries.
This is thought to be the first
time any American hotel has so
licited Latin-American business
through a folder written in Span
ish and especially designed for
the purpose.
With the Worlds Fair at New
York and the Golden Gate Expo
sition at San Francisco sure to
attract thousands of Cubans and
South Americans to this country,
many of them to enter by way Of
Florida, the Seminole Hotels
Spanish folder meets a definite
situation with cleverness and
foresight which should result in
benefits to all sections of the
state.

Well, the great Raspberry Fes-
tival is over and while things
didn't exactly turn out the way
some folks would have liked to
have it, nevertheless there was
no great harm done.
The Legislature tried its best
to please everyone and if you
ask me they did swell job of
it. One crowd wanted bigger
and better appropriations and !
mean they got 'em. Some want
ed to be 'let alone" so they were
taken care of very nicely. Mo-
body wanted any more taxes,
and so the TAXPAYER was CON
sidered.
ALI in all the boys didn't do
much but mill around and dope
out nice little financial cross
word puzzle and then hand 1t
over to Governor Fred to solve.
And right now Florida should
be happy indeed that she has a
governor who is able and
courageous enough to- do just
that. All along he has insisted
that we needed no more taxes.
He pointed out that if things
were left as they were we'd come
out all right.
Thinking to force sales tax"
an effort was made to appropri-
ate so much that there would be
no other way out, but it didn't
work and now all Fred has to do
to put things in order is simply
veto three little bills and wei
sail along in nice shape.
The handwriting on the wall
at this time indicates that Gov
ernor Fred will exercise his veto
power on the three measures in
question: the bill repeating the
one-ha1f of one percent gross re-
Iceipts tax, and the two. ON gas
tax ALLEGATIONS better known as
''801' and 1902. OF course, such
action on his part might make a
few folks terribly unhappy, but
it will please the bulk of the tax
payers and permit us to carry on
just like we were doing.
The schools and the old folks
will get what they were getting,
the bills viii be paid, and if we
should get in the hole at any
time there should be in the neigh
borhood of two millions addi-
tional revenue in the Road De
partment and in a pinch Fred
could call up Arthur Hale dusi
as Martin. Carlton and Sholtz

to be gettin' used to II by now
and another million or two in

harm.
