but small tracts of land, said Governor
Broward, wanted the Everglades
drained, as they realized the immense
and these small land owners were per-
fectly willing to pay their proportion
of the expense Of drainage. 1t was
the holders of large tracts, either le-
gally or Illegally, who were lighting
the proposition.
How soon could become popular
with the mighty Tlmes-Un on, owne,l
by Flagler; how soon could become
popular with the syndicate paper S
along the East Coast if l would send
telegram to Flagler, to Mr.. PARROT
or to other claimants OF the lands and
say: The trustees are ready to deed
YOU the land; meet us in Tallahassee
tomorrow morning" The Times
Union would come out in big black
head letters announcing that Broward
was the greatest governor that Florida
ever had, and the little Metropolis
would say Il knew 1t all the time"
Powers of Board.
Anticipating that Mr.. Beard would
take up the question of the powers
delegated to the board under the
terms of the proposed amendment to
the constitution, Governor Broward
stated that the powers were not too
great to attain the end sougit. If th~
people were to be protected in their
rights IL was necessary that power to
make them tote fair" should be del
egated to some body, and the Trustees
of the Internal Improvement fund was
the proper body to which to delegate
such power The railroads were SIM
ply trying to humbug the people by
soaring UP bugabooS; If the people
could be swindled out of their rights
by the railroads the latter were not
above swindling them.
Governor Broward secuted the idea
advanced by several that the lands
in the Everglades would burn If DRAM
ed. and branded this statement as an
other bugaboo to prevent the consum-
nation of the drainage plan another
bugaboo was the statement that it
would cost 500 10000 to drain the
Everglades The opponents Of the
plan might just as we'll have stated
that it would have cost a billion dol
lars to do the work said the governor,
DIS " WOuIu HdNc DCSi just oo iCoSOh-
able, and might have been a bigger
bugaboo.
In the course of his remarks the
governor produced mass of facts and
figures to prove his contentious and
when his time was UP gave way to

Teller stops the Reading of the stRte-
 hood BIiI.
 Washington, Feb. 2.-There was for moment today a prospect that the Statehood bill would receive its first formal reading in the Senate. always the initiative step in the consideration of any measure reported from the com mittee.
 The Senate took up the calendar i'm mediately after disposing of the rou- tine business and as the statehood bill occupied the first place, the secretary had begun to read 1t before any of the opponents of the bill realized the situ- ation. He had covered but few pages when Mir. Teller put a stop to the pro- ceedings for the time.
 The shipping bill was made the basis for running debate between Mir Pat terson in opposition and MT. Gallinger and Mir, Perkins in support Mir. Pat terson criticized the provision for a subveution to the Oceanic Steamship Company. saying that concern wSs now under contract to carry the mails at good compensation and that the request for a subsidy amounted to demand for more money on its contract
 Messrs. Gallinger and Perkins re- piled that the company was losing money.

| New Industres And Industrial DeveI- 1 opment in The south. | Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. 1.--Reports to the Tradesman show that 137 new ! industries of importance were estab- l lished in the Southern States during the week ending today Of this number | the capitalization of nine-one is given of $101,455. The remaining forty-siX new industries do not report their authorized capitalization, but passing 1t on the average above stated, the grand total capitalization of the 137 new iE- dustries Is seen to be $13,S99,430. The accompanying list indicates the character Of each new concern, and tl= location, and will be found interesting and valuable in studying the trend ot industrial development in the South. l It will be noticed that several of tko companies have authorized capitaIiza- ton of million dollars each. and be- low that figure are found a number with half million, and down to S1GO, 900. The list which is verified in witness as to the great things that are being done in bringing out the values of Southern forests and mines, and l;l manufacturing the various products from cotton. The army of new saw mills, cotton mills, zinc and lead com lEOh gnu COdA .COHlUtnleS. foundries. electrical companies, etc, will show at a glance that the South Is taking advantage of it's opportun!- ties with much greater persistence and intelligence than is generally supposed hy the residents of other sections. These facts also point the moral that where such industrial activity is in progress there are naturally many or- portunities as yet unexplotted in which rich harvests may be reaped by in- vestors yet to come.
