Key west Extension.

A gentleman in the party with
H. M. Fiagler, who visited Key
West last week. is reported to have
said that by February, 1907, one
year from now. trains would be
running on both ends of the
extension, and that ferry would
be used temporarily to connect the
two ends Of the line at Bahia
Honda, where there will be a
stretch Of twelve miles Of water to
cross.
II is claimed that all channels
except this one will be bridged
and ready for trains by the time
mentioned.
This is so much sooner than any
one ever dreamed that the work
could be accomplished that it
seems almost incredible, yet the
man who made the statement
knows better than any ono else
what they can do. Miami Record.

No Drainage Tnx.

Judge Locke rendered an important
decision in the United States Court ON
February "a and one which has direct
bearing upon the scheme Of Governor
Broward to drain the Everglades.
The case is that of the East Coast Rail
way Company VS.. Sewell and others and
the Boston and Florida Atlantic Coast
Land Company. The order made in the
case was OH a motion to dismiss the in
junction restraining the tax collectors in
those counties where the drainage is to
be done from collecting a tax levied for
such purpose by the state. The motion
to dissolve was denied, and the demurrel
overruled.
In rendering his decision Judge Locke
stated that he found that the Federal
Court had jurisdiction, and'that the con-
tention of the defendants on this point
is found sufficient to give the court
jurisdiction. It was also stated By the
court that it had jurisdiction in equity,
but that the allegations are sufficient to
justify a further investigation OH this
point.
