The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1906-03-17

Mr.. F. s. Broussard, cashier of
the Bank of Broussard who spent
last Sunday here, reports that
the surveyors of the Crowley and
New Orleans Western Railroad,
better known as the Owen road,
were camping at Broussard the
past week, the line they have
drawn is fourteen acres south of
Brousssrd, and does not touch
Royville as was expected. It is
supposed that the survey will
strike this parish on a parallel line
with the terrace road. The survey
ors will reach here during the
coming week.

The Henshsw road, which is
supposed to be part of the Kan
sas City Southern is now being
built from New Iberia towards
New Orleans; a large force of men
are now doing the grading and the
work of construction will be push
ed very rapidly. 1t is believed
that this road will be extended
frcm New Iberia to Crowley or to
some other western point. 1t is
possible that we could induce this
road to pass here if we could show
them some advantage in passing
the road through this parish. We
believe our people should come
together and appoint a committee
to confer with Mr.. Henshaw in re-
gard to the Western extension of
his road.

Last week Messrs. Charles and
Octave Gutekunst with full crew
left here on a boat with lots OF
baggage and provision. The
Messrs. Gutekunsts are civil engi.
neers employed, we presume by
some railroad companies, they
would not say what is their mis-
sion and who employed them. but
it is known that the boat took
them somewhere in the swamps
where they will probably make
some railroad survey. None of
the men employed knew anything
az to what they were going to do
except some survey. neither did
they know where they were going.
The Messrs. Gutekunsts are sut-
veyers of experience and none are
in better position to draw a line in
the swainps than they are to the
advantage of railroad building.

ties afforded by hundreds of hotels
and boarding houses, from the eight or
ten-dollar a week cottage, accommo-
dating half a dozen guests, to the pala-
tial hosiery fitted with every conven-
fence and luxury for hundreds. At
Jacksonville is located the distributing
point for the transporting of the bat
talions of pleasure-seekers as they pro-
gress down the coast from one famous
winter resort to another On one
side the ocean is always at hand, and
boating and bathing may alternate
with sightseeing and excursions by
land through deep forests or orange
groves full of fruit.
An enthusiastic flank movement is
generally executed by detachment of
the main army of peace, much as it is
done in real war. The detachment is
made up of those who like to invoke
an icy SILVER through gazing on grue-
some relics of past days when history
was written in blood. The objective
point in keeping with the smile is old
Fort Marion, relic OF Spanish do
minion whose construction was begun
more than three centuries ago, and
within whose grim walls are still to
be seen chill dungeons, secret pas
sages, wells. quicksand traps, and all
the terrifying intruments of torture
which attend a Spanish regime in the
fifteenth century.
Were all this an invasion Of troops,
even without resistance, the story
would not move so quickly. Neither
would the invasion, for the fact al
ready becomes apparent that to pre-.
pare the way for an army of pleasure
seekers another subsidiary arm is nee
essary. Taking into account only the
ten greatest and most famous of Flor
ida's hundreds of hotels 200 people
are employed solely to minister to the
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1906-11-28

No region in the entire length or
breadth of the commonwealth is more
Interesting geographically than that
around Devils lake, where it is pro-
posed to create a state park. and the
fora too is most remarkable OF it
Professor A. B. Stout has written:
This lake lies close to the south
ern border of the transitional zone of
plant and animal life. In general the
fora of the region is characteristic
Of the belt, with mingling of boreal
and upper-austral forms, most
noticeable feature of which is the in
termixing of sucl trees as oaks
hickories, and waiuuts of the south
with naples, bircheg, and pines of
the north. Here is also about the
southern limit of rock tripe, a liche1
eaten by early French Soyageurs. In
addition to this geographical or zonal
location, varied conditions of soil,
moisture, and topography furnish
natural environment for range of
fora rarely found in areas of similar
size. Nearly bare rock exposures and
well-drained slopes of thin soil sur
mount the area. Moist glens nestle
near the foot of slopes and lead
down to fertile lower levels. Springs
and intermittent rivulets are found.
In its lower course, one small stream
meanders through a lowland meadow
to the clear cold waters of the lake.
All these conditions are found in
close proximity.
Naturally a wide variety of plant
life Is to be found. not only of the
more prominent Towering forms. but
of cryptogams as well. A represen-
tative of the red algae, so rare in
fresh water with many of It's green
algal relatives, finds suitable environ
ment. The genera and species of
fungi are numerous, for this is one
of the few regions in the southern
part of the state where moist woo l.
lands and humus favor their develop
ment. In MOSES and liverworts a
casual observer notes many forms,
and the special student finds a fertile
field for study. Twenty of the
Twenty-Five species of ferns listed for
Wisconsin are readily found. and
several of the fern allies occur with
more or less frequency Among the
latter is a member of the rare group

comfort of the invading hosts. The
manoeuvering of this subsidiary army
alone is no small task for it includes
on its staff seven generals of division
called managers, 81 housekeepers and
assistants, 240 chambermaids, go
laundresses and assistants, 80 clerks,
II auditors and bookkeepers, 10 port
ers and assistants, 241 hall boys, SO
engineers and assistants, 80 electric
ians. IL plumbers and sc cleaners.
In the quartermaster's department OF
this army there are 10 stewards and
assistants. 40 storekeepers, and IA
wine stewards and assistants.
Everything must be done on large
scale in the running of these hotels.
The grape fruit that the guest ate with
his breakfast was one of PA, 900 con-
sumed during the season. More than
twice as many oranges-about 10000
were required. Coffee was brewed
from a supply aggregating $500
pounds or more than 25 tons. The
cream was gathered from SO, 900 quarts
Of milk and $4,000 quarts we're needed
for other purposes. The butter used
weighed nearly 10000 pounds. Eggs
were eaten by the million, 100000
being a seasons supply. OF other ed
ibles, $1,000 pounds Of ham, $4,000
pounds of bacon, $500 livers. 100000
lamb chops and 3,376,SO0 steaks were
consumed In these great hostelries

OF quillworts growing in abundance
beneath the waters of the lake. On
the bottom in other parts nitella is
also common. To the mass of PEG.
pie, however, the principal charm is
due TO the clothing of trees and
shrubs, composed chiefly of species
of oak, elm, maple birch, hickory,
ash, pine, dogwood, and sumac. OF
the smaller ground vegetation long
list of Towering plants could be given
ranging in their geological relations
from cacti to orchids.
Although indescribable in scenic
effect and still rich in variety of
flora, considerable of the glory of the
region has already vanished before
the encroachments of man. A few
years ago a beautiful border OF such
dainty forms as two-leaved solomons
seal, twisted stalk and Canada violet
skirted the lake shore of the east
side. Today those forms have made
last stand close to the base of the
towering bluffs There can be found
at the present time only scattering
specimens of such exquisite forms as
trailing arbutus, cardinal flower, can
ada lily, SNOWY orchis, purple fringed
orchis, twayblade, royal fern, ostrich
fern and walking fern. Diligent
search fails to discover several plants
found by earlier students. OF these
perhaps now locally extinct forms, we
may mention purple virgins bower,
three lady's slippers, the wild Gala OF
water arum, and the adder's tongue
year by year more of such delicate
species are failing in the struggle foI
life. Clearing of the land, closer
and more extensive pasturing, com
mercial enterprises, and indiscreet
gathering of wild flowers, only ac
celerate the rate of extinction. If
these continue, in a few years the
remaining plants will form a com.
naratively meager and commonplace
fora A little protection would cause
species now rare to multiply. Extinct
forms could be re-established in their
natural habitat, and many forms not
native to the particular locality could
be introduced The fora could be
catalogued, groups Of plants plac-
arded the whole accessible by drives
and paths. Thus a natural botanical
garden would result with its own in

For dinners there were served last
winter, among other things. 1sS,000
pounds OF rib roasts and 15S, 200 sides
of beef.
Salt and pepper were used in guam
titles to astonish the housewife-96,-
600 pounds Of salt, and 81 900 pounds
Of pepper. AS a sort of frill to the
menu, there were served 700 gallons
of olives, $4,000 clans and $4,000
oysters. Another item too important
to be overlooked was 1900 barrels OF
-four, which went into rolls, bread,
pastry, dressings and other good
things. Ten chefs, 220 cooks and as
sistants, So bakers and assistants, and
1000 walters assisted in the prepare
ton and service of the food.
To contribute to the happiness OF
seekers for rest and recreation, 10
musicians, six golf professionals. four
swimming teachers, and 80 gardeners
were employed.
Unlike ne regulars in blue uni
forms, this pleasure seeking army
travels de luxe" in Pullman coaches.
With the extension, now in progress,
of the road to Key West, and thence
by car ferry to Havana, the soldier OF
the notwithstanding army will be
able to go from San FRANCISCO to Cuba
by train. Moreover, should the much
talked of railroad across Behring
Straits be completed, an all-rail jour
ney from Paris to Havana will be pos
sible, SO that the dandy of the Partisan
boulevards may take his railway ticket
straight through for a season in Flor
ida or Cuba if he prefers the long ST
berian journey to the storms of the
Atlantic.
The transformation of the entire
east coast of Florida from barren
waste of sand and alligator swamps
into the most extensive pleasure re-
sort in the world, together with the
building of the first seagoing railway,
has been the result of ones mans dar-
ing enterprise. A number of years
ago, H. NJ. Flagler conceived the idea
which has added Sco,oo0 to Florida's
winter population, and as since de-
voted to its development the millions
which came to him as one of the pio-
neers of Standard Oil. The hotels
and the railway have advanced to-
gether from Jacksonville down the
whole length of the coast as necessary
to and a part of the same unique enter
prise, and now "On to Havana" is the
watchword of the annual army of in
vasien. incidentally, it has brought
to Florida tremendous development
as the winter kitchen garden of the
United States.

hand piled high with the impedimenta
of travel, gets some faint idea of the
proportions to which this movement
attains.
More practice, perhaps, would facili-
tate handling the soldiers of Uncle
Sans army. The armies of peace, at
all events, mobilize rapidly and yet
successfully They are always at It.
Even now these armies are gathering
again, this time for the annual ad-
vance upon the winter resorts of the
South. The van guard is ready To
make it's annual capture of the baths
at Virginia Hot springs and to find
recreation in the mountains of western
Virginia and the Carolinas. In few
weeks these and other hosts from
every part Of the land will begin to
move on that marvellous stretch Of
surf-beaten sand which marks with
an unbroken line of foam the eastern
coast line of Florida from the mouth
of the St. Johns, at the northeastern
corner Of the state, through nearly
five degrees of latitude to Miami-an
entire state given over to a great win
ter playground, forming the nearest
American approach to the famous RI
viera.
An army Of 300 900 tourists visits

schedules were recklessly smashed,
and easy-going department officials
started in to work overtime, all in the
attempt to mobilize 5000 troops at the
three separate ports of New York,
Newport News, and Tampa, under the
concentrated attention of the entire
country, which was expected dutifully
and periodically to marvel at the won
delful exhibition of what perfect or
ganization can accomplish.
And yet to tie transportation com
panies affected he whole affair was of
little more Importance in their daily
routine, though great deal more
troublesome than Sunday school con-
vention or a political gathering.
For transportation companies are ac-
customed to handle much larger
armies than this-the armies of peace
and pleasure. In the spring there is
an army, many times 5000 in number,
which moves peacefully and harmon
iously upon New York from every
part of the country on it's way to Eu-
rope. In the autumn the same army
returns and is distributed again to
the four corners of the land. In the
early summer, when pavements grew
hot and cities sitting, there is the exc
dus to the shore and mountains.
So that is seems strange to raise
such hullabaloo over the mobilizing
of a mere 5000 soldiers when one re-
members the peaceful armies which
are continually campaigning through
the country. Anyone who has wit
messed the scene of hustle and confu-
sion as the returning advance guard
of the host of pleasure-seekers comes
streaming into the Grand Central sta
ton in New York on the first Tues
day in September, armed with golf
clubs, tennis racQuets and fishing
tackle, with baggage trucks on every
