BRAe IS A GOOD DOG.

The old saying that "Brag IS good
dog, but Holdfast is a better one"
comes in play in this matter of war
news. 1t is really important, not be-
cause it ministers to pride to be first
to tell of interesting events, but be-
cause the collection and distribution Of
news is the business of a newspaper.
and startling events become a much
stronger and more final test of enter
prise than the humdrum routine Of
peace.
We are not in the least surprised,
therefore, to find every competitor who
has been distanced hopelessly in the
race rushing to cover it's own discom-
future with the bald statement that it
secured and told the news first. Some
body who has seen no other paper may
chance to believe the statement, though
without the slightest tinge Of truth,
and that will be clear gain. Those who
know better will know it anyway, and
will probably not have their poor opin-
ion made much poorer by the addition
of fabrication to failure.
There is hardly great worlds event,
making drafts on journalistic enter
prise, that does not find the failures
among newspapers claiming credit for
the things they did not. and could not
do. This time and this city are no ex-
ception. The claims are vastly anus
| ing. AS far as any evening newspaper
is concerned, it is perhaps rather to
| be pitied than blamed. Oriental news,
like most other news arrives at such
an hour generally that no afternoon
| paper has any chance at it until after
! it has become secondhand. The after
noon newspaper has perforce been con-
tent to summarize the stories from its
morning contemporary and let it go at
that. 1t is out of the race.
TT e Gil ODE wishes to acknowledge
the many compliments it has received
thus far upon securing early, exclu-
sive and absorbingly interesting war
news. With the assistance of its spe-
ciaI correspondents and the purchase
of the great war service of the New
York Herald, its superiority was as
sured. 1t was ready for the opening
gun because it had foreseen the emer-
gency and provided itself. If any
| reader should think the clamorous wall
of the beaten to be worth noticing,

worth a good many thousands in cir
culation to us if everybody could make
this personal inquiry. Meantime, T e

best exclusive news from the seat Of

j. L. lngraham. in Success: There
are great agricultural possibilities in
the Florida Everglades. Though they
are yet merely an expansive waste of
swamp and lake II jungle. l venture
to predict that they will be the location
OF hundreds of fertile farms, within
ten years, and will by degrees develop
into one of the most productive tracts
Of n in the world. The barrier to
the utilization of the Everglades has
been, of course, the water which covers
the greater part of them to a depth of
from II to six feet. But It has been
found entirely practicable to drain off
the water. Work to this end has al
ready been begun, and Is being pushed
rapidly. When it is completed a tract
OF land $50 miles long and GO wide will
have been opened to cultivation. The
size Of this region is not as important
as the remarkable productivity of the
soil. The latter is not only absolutely
virgin, but has been fortified by ami
NAL and vegetable life through many
centuries am confident hat it's crops

leading agricultural states.
The project Of draining the Ever
glade5 attracted the attention Of Henry
b. Plant in the early sos, but he was
oy no means sure that the scheme was
feasible, so /, acting under his direc-
ton, undertook an expedition through
the region. Despite its proximity to
centers of population, it was then for
the first time thoroughly explored by
white men. Ours was virtually q voy-
age of discovery. We padded our light
boats on k and camped on islands

never before been visited by any nu-
man being but Seminole Indians, and
by these but rarely. We underwent so
many hardships that some OF cur par
ty We're compelled to turn back, but our
efforts Were not in vain, for we ascer-
tanned the important fact that the Ev-
e~rgladcS, along the whole 100 miles of
the eastern side. are trimmed by q rock
ledge. We furthermore learned that
all OF the k are several feet above
sea level, and we decided that there
was nothing whatever to prevent the
water of the lakes from flowing Into
the ocean and leaving the land drained
If vents GOULD be made in this long
ledge of rock. The chief question be-

of cutting through the ledge in various
places, and dredging our outlets into
the Atlantic, which is not more than
two or three miles away at numerous
points.
Experiment proved that this work
would present no great difficulties. 1t
was merely a matter of q great deal
of digging. Henry M. Flagler took up
the project, and 1t is being carried out
by his lieutenants. We are not only
making artificial outlets through the
rock, but are also. by ditching and
dredging, turning large bodies of water
into rivers and creeks which flow to
the ocean. The work has progressed
far enough to enable me to predict con
fidently the opening in Florida, within
a very few years, OF a great tract of
lana OF almost unprecedented fertility.
