saving of several hundred thousand
acres of land to the state, If drainage
can be accomplished with a reasonable
expense.
The first step in this direction was
the appointment Of j. o. Fries to UNI
dertake the survey Of the territory. His
instructions are to find the most practi-
cal route to connect the Everglades
with the Atlantic ocean this Of course
depending upon the fall and grade of
the country.
Mr.. Fries, in company with Jack
Keen. w. NJ. Meredith, Bud Rauler-
son, Tom Lee and Morgan Swain, left
Fort Pierce last Friday morning on
their mission, going from here to White
City, whore they crossed the st. Lucie
river, and go on down the north fork
until they come to the junction with
the south fork. Here they will make
their headquarters for the present.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Fries to sur
vey all the country between Stuart and
the Everglades. and to make report
to the commissioners of the state in
ternal improvement fund of the most
direct route and the probable expense
to drain this great area. 1t is expected
that it will take twenty-five days to
make the survey.
The party was fitted out at the Fort
Pierce Livery stables, Frank Tuppen,

MARVELLOUS CAMERA
IS INSTALLED HERE

Varied and valuable have been the
numerous Photographic inventions of
the nineteenth century, but the most
marvellous achievement of modern
times, in the realm of photography, is
the invention OF the "Cirkut' camera,
an instrument patented in all countries
last November, and which has within
the last few days passed into control OF
the Photographic trust. In recent
number Of the Photographer, Prof
Sheldon of Cornell University, says:
"A new impetus in panoramic and cy-
cloramic photography has been given
by recently constructed apparatus. The
Cirkut is about to revolutionize the
making of pictures OF this class, as it
is the only practical instrument manu-
featured for panoramic photography
The most remarkable feature of the
Cirkut, is that, though it is but about
twelve inches square, continuous
view twelve and a half feet in length is
produced in instances where the scope
of the subject requires such extreme
angle, 800 degrees, or complete circle.
Fort Pierce is doubtless the first
town in Florida to install a Cirkut cam
era, but the steadily increasing business
of the Florid, Photographic Concern,
and its determination to lead. and not
to follow, in things Photographic, are
responsible for this innovation on the
East Coast. This firm has already in
hand orders for panoramic views of the
chain of Florida East Coast hotels,
which, when finished in the colors of
nature, will surpass by long odds"
anything heretofore produced in the
line Of advertising our popular East
Coast resorts.

Persons wishing to leave the state, in
order to satisfactorily establish their
previous whereabouts, when required
to do so BY quarantine inspectors OF
other states, should provide themselves
with identification of whereabouts for
the preceding ten days, in the above
form, or to same effect, which identifi-
cation should be signed by the appli-
cant in the presence of some notary
public, justice of the peace, or clerk OF
a court, who knows the applicant, and
is prepared to certify that he OF she
has been in a certain locality for ten
preceding days, which officer should
then sign the identification paper and
atfix his official seal. Such identitca-
ton will be useful in returning to Flori-
da if properly stamped at postotfices, or
railroad ticket offices, at 'stop-over"
points along their line of travel, thereby
establishing their whereabouts contin-

INTERVIEW
The Bee Man Of Stuart, Speaks
of the Key Grape.
DOES NOT FAVOR THEM
Thinks That the Uneven Ripening OF the
Fruit Would Render Them Useless
as a Market Crop.

A few weeks ago The TRIBUNE pub
lished in its Tibbals correspondence an
article relative to new grape that was
supposed to have been just discovered
among the Florida keys, and wishing to
learn more OF 1t enquired Of o. D. Pop
plet' n, whom we had heard had made
several visits to the keys, and we be-
lleved was in position to know what
could be expected of this grape if trans
planted in the soil Of the mainland
The information gained is entirely
disapp, lifting, bat believing that his OBJ
servations and experience might be Of
interest to our readers, we prevailed
which he kindly furnished in an inter-
view with HE TRIBUNE representative
while in our town.
THE keys grape is not new discov-
cry, but has been raised on the keys
for long time and more or less notice
OF it has been seen in the Florida pa
pers for some years past. 1t IL known
among the people down there as the
Key West grape. 1t belongs to the
Malaga type, same as does the Spanish
grapes shipped to this country in small
barrels, packed in ground cork, and the
California white grape. 1t is white,
hard tieshed and sweet, and does not
grow wild, but all | saw had not re-
ceived first class cultivation.
This grape is somewhat of the
everbearing character, similar to some
other tropical fruits, such as guavas,
etc.; that is, it has its main crop sea-
son, but bears smaller quantities of
fruit, more or less, during the entire
year. | saw grapes on the vine in De-
cember, .anging all the way from ripe
to those just past blossom. AS near as
| could learn, its worst fault was the
fact Ithat it ripened unevenly on the
bunch and was very prone to rot, max
ing 1t difficult to secure perfect punches
for market. | know one person who
abandoned the idea OF growing it largely
because Of these reasons.
The punches are very large, but am
afraid that the idea OF those seventeen
to twenty-five pound lunches is just
tritie imaginative. The largest one |
heard of weighed fourteen pounds, and
punches of this size are scarcer than
one pound lunches.
The soil on which these grapes are
growing is radically different from any
soil we have in this section. 1t is al
most solid coral rock, what little soil
there is being almost purely decayed
vegetation. have very grave doubts
whether the grape will do we'll on our
soil, but experiment only will test that.
! brought home with me two years ago
quite number of cuttings, but did not
succeed in making them grow. Last
winter brought both roots and cut
tings, and have several now growing at
my Stuart home. would caution all
not to invest too largely in them with
out further experiments. think they
are we'll worth experimenting with, and
| have gone to considerable trouble in
getting information about them, and in
them home for trial.

Ice Factory Again Progressing.

The papers necessary for perfect
title to the ice factory site arrived by
express last Friday night. Matters
have been adjusted to the satisfaction
of all of the stockholders, and work
was resumed with rush Monday morn
ing. A machinist from the Henry Vogt
company's works, at Louisville, Ky,
will arrive early next week to suparin-
tend the installation of the machinery,
and the new boiler is expected about
the same time. A few days more will
see the roof laid and the factory COM

pOrtant that we have ice as soon as
possible, the lighting problem has not
yet been completely worked out.

SECRETARY of Agriculture Wilson is
learning by experience. When be re-
turned to his desk yesterday after his
visit 10 the President at Oyster Bay and
heard of the allegations that there were
suspicious circumstances in connection
with the label printing contract for the
Bureau of Animal Industry he did not
declare there could be 60 truth in the
rumors, as he did when the cotton re-
port scandal was first uneartbed, but at
one, directed the chief of the bureau to
begin An investigation. Secretary Will
ssn ma. discovered that the most energet-
D. iestatinus of innocence are not TO
be- taken at their face value, and there
will accordingly be an overhauling of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, with view
to discover how much truth there is in
the stories that have been in circulation
connecting an official of the bureau with
the printing company.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

The impossibility of defending the
coast of the Ussuri territory resulted in
the abandonment of the entire province
bordering on the Pacific almost before
the Russian people knew the japanese
were planning an Occupation of the ter
ritory. The japanese are already estab-
fishing base at Port Castries for 80, 900
men and II guns, with the view of oc-
cupying the lower territory of the Amur
river.
They are preparing TO operate from
Saghalin along the Amur river, which
is 80 versts from Port Castries, the route
being along a good cart road, to So6nsk,
on the lower Amur. Thence they can
advance north to Nikolaieysk and south
to the Khabarovsk. 1t is expected that
this movement will be accompanied by
the dispatch of fotilla of gunboats and
torpedo boats to the Amur river.
The entire Russian force in the Ussuri
territory consists of nine battaIions OF in
fantry. with reserve regiment formed
at Blagovestchensk. They have no ar
tilery. 1t is impossible to send reinforce
ment from Vadivostok, which is daily
threatened with siege by General Haze
waga's army. This leaves open to the
japanese the shore of the Ussuri terri
tory south of Port Castries to the Gulf
of Peter the Great. Russia can only ex-
pect the return of this territory as the
result of the peace negotiations.
General Lnevtch has telegraphed to
the Gar, under date of July 25, denying
the frequently published reports that his
army was completely surrounded. He
says that the army has never been in a
dangerous position. The TANKS have
never been turned, although the Jap
anese sought to do so, "the japanese,
who are some distance from our princi-
pal position, having failed in their at
tempts to approach them" The Cen
eral adds: The morale of The troops
inspires me with complete confidence
that the army is ready for any task"
