j. H. Dorsey, one of the Tampa
commissioners, said at Orlando
Saturday; 1--WE are just awakening tc the
| fact OF the immense possibilities OF the
future in establishing commercial relations
with the rich countries to the south Of US,
and diverting the trade of those countries
to the United States where it naturally be-
longs, instead of having the great bulk of
it 20 30 Europe, as it has heretofore done
| We are also awakening to a realization of
toe folly of having this trade conducted by
a dangerous and circuitous route around
the Florida reefs and Atlantic coast thence
by long rail route to the western
states, when it could be carried much
more safely, cheaply and expedi-
tously through some port on the
Gulf coast Of Florida, thence by airline rail
route to the west | have not time to-day
to give you any statistics on the subject, but
anyone who will take the pains to investi-
gate the matter can soon convince himself
that Florida is the natural point of entry
for this trade, and the natural distributing
center from which this commerce, whose
magnitude no one can foresee, is to ramify
all parts Of the country. In carrying out
this scheme, we necessarily encompass the
second part of the object of this visit
namely, to establish direct trunk line inter
course between Florida and the west"
The object of having the committee of
the Chicago board of trade visit Tampa is
two-fold. One object is to have them in
vestigate the capacity and the character of
Tampa bay harbor, with n view to petition
ing congress to appropriate 81 200, 900 to
subsidlZe Il line OF lines of steamships to
open up commercial intercourse with the
countries of Central and South America.
The other object is 20 lay before these men
information as the resources of Florida.
with view to opening up direct air line
Of communication with Chicago ana Other
cities of the west and northwest, in order
to place the productions of Florida within
easy reach of what should be its
natural markets-the states of the great
west. Tampa has had a representative in
the cities of the west in the person of S A.
Jones, who has been working to get ND an
cceded i'll securing a recommendation from
the boards of trade of Cincinnati, st. Louis
and Chicago to congress that this appro-
priation he made But Mr.. Jones was not
satisfied with simple recommendation.
and asked that the Chicago Board of
Trade send a committee to Washington
to work with him in presenting the
Importance Of the matter to congress. To
this the board of trade replied that they
wanted to be thoroughly convinced by per
; soual investigation that the facilities of
, Tampa bay were adequate to accommodate
a volume of business Of such immense mag
uitude as this is expected to become. To
this the citizens of Tampa could only reply:
"Gentemen, come and see for yourselves. y
and the courtesies of the city were extended
to the Chicago board of trade, hence this
visit.
