Developing Florida.

Officials of the Seaboard Air Line an
nounced this morning that the name of
their Florida branch had been changed
from the United States and West Indies
to the West Coast Railroad. The many
settlers going into the region objected
to the former name, asserting that it
was too indefinite. 1t was also said
that the road would soon be extended
SO as to open the territory on the West
Coast all the way down to and beyond
the Everglades. This part Of Florida
Is as wild today as when the Spaniards
landed there $50 years ago,
The ground is rich, and better than
all, it is far below ,ne frost line.
tropical fruit growing there in album
dance and without danger of freezing.
The Atlantic Coast Line has an
nounced cheap rates to Florida for in
tending settlers, and it seems that an
other general movement is on foot to
populate the State
There is no doubt that as in all At
iantic Coast States, there is q great
amount of sandy land in Florida which
is useless. To grow any kind of crop
upon 1t requires the expenditure of
more money for fertilizer than the crops
will bring. 1t was into these lands and
above the freezing line unprincipled
real estate sharks" enticed thousands
of people from the North a few years
ago and caused them to lose nearly all
the money they had. These settlers
were talked into planting orange orch
ards farther north than Tampa, and
some only few miles south OF Jack
sonville. The trees were promptly
frozen to death in the winters follow
ing the planting.
Since then. however, the people have
| learned considerable about Florida, and
the State began supervision over the
former Western industry of sitting on
ones door step until an Fastener came
along to swindle, which the land sharks
adopted in Florida, and the officers will
answer all questions relating to lands
for settlement.

of the State, and also the richest. So
rapid has been this development that

tants in summer, and double that in win

summer in Florida, especially this por-
ton, is no warmer than Washington.
There is always a sea breeze. In win

than 1t was yesterday. The people take
their sea baths all the year around, New
Year being a holiday that is usually
spent on or in the water.
