PROGRESS IS
BEING MADE
Drainage Canal West of fort
Pierce is Being Deepened.
WILL DRAIN FINE LANDS
~ Consider II far Ahead Of the Celebrated
Hastings Section for Growing Irish
Potatoes" Says Mr.. King.

The work Of draining the low lands
west of Fort Pierce is progressing most
satisfactorily and the Contractor, +. Il.
King, is pushing operation with all pos
siblc speed. His contract with the
Florida East Coast railway company
specify that canal mu It be completed
that will effectively drain the entire
country adjacent to the canal for dis
lance of nearly five miles west of Fort
Pierce.
The land in the territory to be drain
ed has laid for years in want of such a
canal. The soil is as fine as can be
found in any part of Florida, but the
fact that it was subject to overflow at
certain periods of each year has rem
dcrcd it useless except as grazing lands,
except in specially high places.
When the canal was cut last year,
although failure in accomplishing all
that was desired, it was the means of
effectively draining considerable of the
lands nearer town. and these have been
purchased and acre after acre have al
ready been set in pineapples and prom
Use well for their owners.
With the completion of the canal,
which, under the contract with Mr..
King, will completely drain this large
area, there will be thousands of acres
Of fine lands opened for cultivation, and
it will not be ON the market long before
entcrprising people will purchase it and
engage in orange, potato, pineapple or
vegetable growing.
In conversation with Mr.. King,
TRIBUNE reporter was informed that in
his opinion there was no better land for
growing potatoes anywhere in Florida.
81 consider it far ahead of the cele-
brated Hastings section, said Mr.. King.
"And besides the superiority of the land
the fact that Fort Pierce is located
fully two hundred miles south of Has
tings, and is seldom visited by killing
frOsts, will make it the Irish potato
section of the State. The crop raised
on this land west of Fort Pierce would
be in the market at least three weeks
ahead of the hastings potatoes, which
would insure the growers the top of
the market at time when it is bare. "
This is not the digging of new
canal, but the deepening of a canal,
already dug by the company, and when
the dredge shall have passed over the
entire route, which is about five miles
it will be deep enough to allow the
water of considerable area to enter and
pass into the Indian River.
While the canal will drain hundreds
of acres of valuable lands, there will be
other hundreds of acres, where bitches
will have to be dug to allow the water
to pass into the canal. However, this
will be small matter, for, with the
drainage canal within reach a small
amount of dtching will drain almost
any of the lands of our back country.
The work will be finished before the
new year and practically all the lands
lying between Fort Pierce and Ten
Mile creek will have been drained. This
will open up for settlement some of the
best potato, orange and vegetable land
on the Coast and another year should
witness many transformations in this
section.

CATTLE ORDINANCE
TO Be ENFORCED

A regular session of the town council
was held in the council chamber Tues
dny night. The regular routine bust
ness was attended to and the bills au-
dited and ordered paid.
The council had failed at the last
meeting to levy tax for fire protec-
ton, and the matter was taken up, and
a five mill tax levied for fire protection
and water works and the clerk was
ordered to post notices accordingly.
The cattle ordinance was referred to,
and after considerable discussion the
marshal was instructed to empound all
cattle found on the streets in the limits
of the town.
The discussion of the above ordinance
led to the curfew proposition. The
apparent need of the enforcement of a
curfew law was discussed with much
enthusiasm, but was finally set aside
and nothing definite done. However
we hone soon I, report that the council
has ilkcn the ,aatter up and something
definite done in this direction.

stantial houses on some Of these lots,
and the lots are being sold rapidly with
prospects of several new residences in
that section this winter. Read Dit
