wiling locality for the pleasure seek
er, and with its numerous and almost
numberless attractions there Is no
place where one may enjoy him self
as In Atlantic City. The great board
walk always thronged by a merry
crowd, the numberless hotels, the
several amusement piers are all at
tractive and interesting, but to see
several thousand people disporting in
Old Ocean, as is often the case in
Atlantic City, is a sight well worth
going to see. The Jersey Central has
the most direct line to Atlantic City.

EDITOR REpORTER:--I was requested
by one of my old friends of Decatur
county to write letter for your paper
so will try and jot down few lines
from the Garden of Eden. | would like
for some of you Decatur county people
to see Oklahoma. There never was such
prospect for a big wheat crop as there
is now. You can see wheat as far as
your eye can see, some of it will hide
jack rabbit. You have read about the
Garden of Eden--We have it here in
Oklahoma. If Adam and Eve were here
we would not tempt them with the big
red apple, but we would with the big
yellow peach. Our peach crop has not
been hurt, the orchards are one big red
blossom. We have not had any winter.
haven't fed my stock anything this
winter until the last two weeks. A man
could pillow all the time but about two
weeks and then the ground was froze
about two inches. Oats are looking fine
it has rained three days and one night
this week and still we have no mud.

boys went to Davis City to hunt ducks.
They just ought to have been here,

we had one of the biggest times of the
year. Our railroad crosses the salt
plains which is great sight for every
body. The railroad ran an excursion
train to the plains to have big rabbit
race. They brought rabbits and dogs
and had big time. They claimed to
be 10000 people, so rabbits and 20 dogs.
One dog killed himself, he ran A miles
and did not catch the rabbit. The dog
was from Coldwater, Kansas, and there
was $1,000 bet on that dog. Six auto
mobiles picked up the dogs after the
race and about so men lost their hats.

" philadelphia. Penn, March 2, 1890.
!. To Mr.. Hamilton Disston: Dear Sir:
lin answer to yours Of the goth
instant, in whicn you ask my opin-
ion regarding Florida as sugar pro-
ducing state, I take pleasure In say
ling that, during my recent trip to
inspect your sugar operations, my
surprise was great at finding such
country for the growth of sugar cane.
The soil is as rich as any that ] have
ever seen, and, with proper cnltiva
ktion, the yield will be equal to that
of any other country on the face OF
the globe.
"I congratulate you upon the
bright prospect for the future of the
sugar business in the state of Flor
ida.
Yours truly,
"'CLAUS SPRECKLES.'
While representing Osceola county
las fair commissioner at the Tampa
/ state fair, Mr.. Van Duzor distributed
hundreds of these papers. exhibited
the muck soil and fine specimens OF
sugar cane grown thereon, and in
every way advertised the value and
lproductiveness of these lands, par.

with those of the Everglades alluded
Ito, and before drainage were covered
with the same saw grass and acqua-
| tic growth.
His comparison OF the present con
dition Of the st. Cloud plantation is
by no means correct; in 1888 SO, the
canal at low water readily afforded
steamboat transportation, and was
regularly traversed by such steamers
as the Floridalphia, Okeechobee, Col
onist and others; since that time rail
road and other bridges have been
built across it. several dams have
been put In. thus destroying the drain
age and navigation SO that today at
high water it would be difficult to
get an ordinary row boat through
the canal. Much of the land former
lly under cultivation has reverted to
q marsh of Quagmire; the peach and
other orchards have been destroyed
by lack of drainage.
