RecIaiminu Florida Land.


OF late years the state (FlOrida) has
attracted more attention from capitalists
and settlers than formerly This is
anything but surprising when one con-
siders the fertility of the land and the
favorable nature of the climate for the
early production of vegetables and
fruits, emitting the state to the desig-
nation Of the ''garden of North
America" just now popular attention
is directed to the construction of two
canals, from which results are antici-
pated as astonishing as an Arabian
Nights tale. Lake Okochobee is a tract
of water of over l 900 square miles in
extent, with no outlet. It is situated in
central southern Florida, and is the re-
ceptacle of the waters of numerous
rivers and streams In the interior. Dur
ing the rainy season this lake with its
continent rivers and streams overflow
their banks and Inundate thousands Of
square miles of land. In this way the
Everglades" or swamps of Florida
have been formed. The result of recent
surveys, beginning with the United
States survey made IN 1879 by Colonel
J. Meighs, established the fact that the
level of Lake Okochobee was twenty
five feet above the level of the sea. This
important discovery being made. it be-
came obvious that, by draining the lake
into the sea, an immense stretch of rich
land would be rescued from watery
covering and be made fit for cultivation.
Spectators and Capitalists were quick to
appreciate the situation. Plans for the
construction of two canals, one leading
from the lake to the Atlantic Ocean, and
the other to the Gulf of Mexico, were
speedily completed. These canals are
now partially cut, and already the sur
face of the lake has been lowered two or
three feet. Scientific men confidently
predict the success of the enterprise,
and within year or so from the present
time it is anticipated that some ten or
twelve thousand square miles of rich
virgin soil Will be added to Florida's sul-
tivatah1e area

The Amazon

Prof. Wiener, the South American ex-
plorer, writes that the Amazon is not
called by that name at home; but at its
mouth is called by the natives Rio del
Para, and farther inland simply o Rio.
Above the confluence of the Negro it is
known as the Rio Solimoens to the
boundary Of Brazil, beyond which it is
called the Maranon.- Prof. Wiener is
receiving every attention and assistance
possible from the Brazilian government,
Dom Pedro IL. having placed a fine
steam vessel, with officers and crew, at
his disposal, and the scientific world is
anticipating with great interest the ac-
count of his expedition to be published
on his return.

The sale of public lands during thefscaI year
was 218. 1854 acres. at prices varying from
fifty cents to three dollars per acre. The re-
port of the commissioners shows that there is
now on hand nearly 100000 acres Of public
land; that there are nearly 100000 acres not
selected during the year $1,000 acres
for which the state will soon receive
patents. These selections were made by
sending competent man into the field to ex-
anime each tract, and I am satisfied that the
work has been faithfully performed and that
thereby the state has secured good lands. The
commissioners in their report suggest cogent
reasons for some changes in the laws regulat-
ing the sale of lands, to the end that the state
may be enabled to obtain prices nearer the
value of the land sold l commend the sub

The Miners Union Picnic.

During the absence of the editor
of this paper, who for the past week
was on a camping expedition in the
mountains. several ems appeared
in the APPEAL which made it appea,
that the people Of Carson were OPP
posed to he Miners Union picnic
because it was to be held at Steam
boat Springs. If there is any such
feeling it should at once give pace
to disposition on the part of the
citizens # Carson to assist the
Union in every way possible The
! Miners Union haye chosen Steam
boa. as a location for their annual
| picnic simply because the pro
pristor IF Steamboat Springs made
the minsfs a more liberal PROPOSE
ton than they received IN this city.
The fact of ;he matter ia that Steam.
boat ont bid us and got tho picnic.
There is 60 reason for ''scoEr" on
the part of any one here. All these
little petty jealousies which exist
between rival towns should be
thrown aside and all should stand
IN for \ mutual benefit. Let every
Carsonite bear in mind that the
capital Of State can have no
municipal rivals. We are the head
stone of the corner, the cap-sheaf,

Even the st. Bernards speak con-

they were defeated owing to the
rule which compel ed them to drill

mint accorded the st. Bernards in
particular. The entire Conclavs
was managed admirably. Every
thing possible had been done. and

There were no bitches and no
grumblings. The Grand Com
msndery of California, and par
ticularly the Conclave Committee,

timent uttered by the members of

Brutal Murder
PORTLAND, Sept. 2-News has
been received here of the brutal
murder of Henry Hesse Of New
Westminster, British Columbia, on
the 3lst. His body was TO md in
his room with his throat cut from
ear to ear. He appeared to have
been dead several days. A Cor
oner's jury returned q verdict
against Charles Andersen, Ger
man sailor, who was seen last in
company with Hesse. An examin-
alton of the b.dy showed two ak
wounds on the head, besides tho
throat cut. Andersen AMI Hesse
we're last seen on Friday night.
Nothing whatever is known of the
whereabouts of the murderer, he
having disappeared. Cupidity was
most probably the motive for the
murder. Hesse, it is supposed,
won a large sum of money a. cards
shortly before the murder was
&C nmi tied.

From "The Times.0

Editor Of Times The veterinary de-
partment in your valuable paper is always
read by me with great interest, ann value
information received from it hundred fold
more than the small amount paid for the
paper. One year ago you published letter
from DR.. John Bates, relating the wonder
full success he had in curing spavins, and
splints with Kendall's SPAWN cure, and his
allusion to using il now in his practice for
several human ailments on account of the
success he has always had with it. The above
statements from SO prominent physician
gave me great faith in its efficacy, and as
have been afflicted for many years with the
rheumatism and hip joint lameness 30 bad
could hardly walk at times. I procured a
bottle and as it has completely cured me,
wish to proclaim 1t to the world as the most
wonderful discovery ever made for the bene-
fit of afflicted men as we'll as for the poor
horse, for which it was first used. AS this
remedy must be of incalculable value to the
world, wtite this letter to express my
thankfulness to you for ever mentioning it
in your columns. and to ask another favor
in behalf of my fellow men who are afflicted
in body, that you continue to make known
to the world the value of Kendall's SPAWN
Cure for both man as well as beast.
Respectfully yours,
