WHERE Is ST. AIMEE
IL the Question Now Disturbing the Gem
munify


munity.
The interest awakened by the announcement
that would sell 645 acres of land at the court
house on June shows conclusiYely that large
bodies Of land are seldom on the market.
The shrewd investors have been literally
securing the woods and picking up these
large tracts.
As matter of fact the real estate men can
not supply even small farms or tracts of land
within ten miles OF the city.
The demand for small farms is increasing
every day. There are many parties who never
expect to farm, yet who would like to own a
few acres, when values are sure to increase.
Just such place is ST. Anne. 1t is south bv
west OF the city in the section bounded on the
east by the White Bluff road, and on the west bv
the Savannah. Florida and Western railway,
The first flag station on this road, about six
miles from the city. is quite convenient to the
and and would be the shipping point for settlers
In st. Anne.
This is a grand piece of land to be handled BY
a small company which would meet the de-
mand for small farms and give easy terms to
purchasers.
This has been done with great success by par
ties all around the city, until the available land
has been exhausted
There is a very heavy growth of timber on
portions of this land, which, being so near the
city. would prove a valuable source of revenue.
Only one-third of the purchase money will
be required in cash, while long time will be
given if desired on the balance.

be given every year and its efforts eventually
will be to pauperize them.
GREAT TRACTS SUITABLE FOR RAISING REINDEER
To stock Alaska with reindeer and thus add
millions of productive acres to the wealth of the
country would be an important achievement in
any case. but its accomplishment is especially
urgent now. when it affords the only hope for
saving the Eskimo from starvation. Four hun
dred thousand square miles in Alaska are ad-
mlrably adapted TO the raising and herding of
these animals, though useless for any other
purpose. This great area, much larger than the
New England and middle states combined is
covered with moss and grass. seemingly in
tended by nature for the grazing of reindeer
Traders IN that country are most anxious to
secure the beasts for draught purposes to sub
stItute for dogs. Some difficulty is likely to be
met with on account of a weakness on the
dogs part for deer meat, but this will have to
be got over by training, supplemented by the
IudIcious killing off OF canine incorrigibles.
THE BASE OF DISTRIBUTION.
The project is to use the large island Of st.
Lawrence in the north part of Boring sea as q
base for the distribution of reindeer Just as
in Dakota and Indian territory the Indian boys
are taught how TO raise stock. so in the indus
trial schools of Alaska the Eskimo young men
will be instructed in the art of rearing tame
reindeer. This is certainly one of the greatest
schemes of philanthropy ever thought Of and
there Is every reason why the people of the
United States generally should interest them
selves personally in il. As 20 its being entirely
practicable there seems to be no reasonable
doubt. and any one who cares to do SO can con-
tribute now.
