An Absolute Waste.

Little does the public realize the enor-
nous amount of money it will take to
drain the Everglades, as Governor Brow
ard proposes. Already they have spent
on the scheme over $50, 900, and this is
for dredge boats, one of the preliminary
steps only. The total amount will run
into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, even a million or more, some say.
If there was any reasonable certainty
as to this helping the State, then all
right and good, let the work go ahead
but large number Of the best inform
ed and leading citizens of the State land
we say they are not bought up, as
Broward accuses practically everybody
of being If they differ with him. firmly
and honestly believe the tremendous ex-
penditure this scheme will require will
be of no benefit, but an absolute waste
to the State. In the first place, there
is no need for more agricultural lands !;
the State and it's citizens have millions
of acres of fertile and tillable lands that
are undeveloped and uncultivated, that
can be purchased at reasonable prices
Even in Polk county we have thousands
of acres of rich, productive lands, lying
wild and open; these we would like to
see improved and utilized, before our
money, because we own a considerable
chunk Of the money Broward proposes
spending, is spent in developing a sec
ton which if it turns out as the COVER
nor thinks, will come in competition
with this section and take farmers from
our county instead of adding to the num-
Der now here. Why not build up the
sections that are already partially de-
Veloped, instead of bringing competition
against them and providing a means of
developing 4griculturing centers? We
do not feel alarmed, however, along
this line, because in our opinion tie
whole scheme will never amount to any
thing, but prove a big injury to the
State in the way of large expenditures
of money that shall never be derived
back out of the Everglades, as the drain
age most likely will never be perfect;
if it is, then the lands will never be fer
tile as a whole and suitable for cultiva-
ton. Even if suitable, the State will
be a quarter of century or more get
ting back the tremendous amount the
project will cost In a business man
such a project would be termeda wild
cat scheme" with absolutely no GER
tainty to it, except the spending, posi-
bly,, of million dollars of the peoples
money. We believe the drainage of
the Everglades should be dropped and
the time and money spent elsewhere
Polk county is entitled TO about $4,000
of this money, and we would rather
spend it on our roads than to see it, as
we truly and sincerely believe, was
ted on the drainage of the Everglades

CABLE BUSINESS IN CUBA.
Commercial Company Proposes to
Have Its Share.

Clarence H. Mackay, president OF the
Commercial Gable Company of Cuba: Wil-
liam w. Cook its general counsel; vice
President Dickinson and Superintendent
Ribble were in Washington today. When
asked If there was anything new in re-
gard to the company's affairs, Mr. Mackay
said:
I'VE have called at the offices OF
the Secretary Of State, the Attorney
General. the Secretary of War and the Sec
rotary of the Navy and have had inter<
views with those in charge relative to varis
GUS details, such as permission to land our
cables ON United States government land

Union cables now land at that point. we
see no reason why our plans should noe
proceed rapidly. We know that there is q
very large cable business In Cuba, and we
propose to have our share OF II.
last July Vice President Dickinson
went to Havana to prepare for the laying
OF these cables, and he received assure

IN THE PHILIPPINES
INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGED
IRREGULARITIES BEING MADE.

The investigation OF the quarterma ster's
department in the Philippines has been
going on for more than a year and It will
De some time before ii is completed Gen.
eral Corbn, and subsequently General
wood, commanding the Division of the
Philippines, were both given explicit in
structions by the War Department to make
thorough investigation. and to take meas
ures to punish the guilty parties As the
investigation has proceeded reports have
been sent to Washington from time to
time. but It is far from complete Most of
the officers who have had dealings with
the quartermaster's department in the Phil
ippines are, in one way or another con-
nected with the investigation In progress.
Officers whose names have been mentioned
in the reports have been requested to make
an explanation, and those who have ordered
goods from the Quartermasters depart
ment for government purposes have been
required to state where the property was
used and Its present location, If possible.
Where goods have been obtained for the
personal use Of officers, those officers are
required to pay for the same. 1t IS ex-
planned that ii has been the custom in the
army for years for officers to obtain from
the quartermaster department small arti-
Giles of furniture and household goods for
the personal use of the officers and their
families. Generally these things are made
ter's department. At time in the Phil !
ippines it was the policy to have all heavy
articles of furniture for the use of officers
made in the islands and retained in the
quarters. In the investigation that is being
made, all of these articles of whatever
nature, charged to the officer who
ordered them. and also articles which were
ordered for the public service and not used
by the officer personally.
While no official statement can be OBJ
tanned at present concerning the status OF
the investigation, the papers in the case are /!
being arranged with the expectation that !
all facts can be made public in course OF 1
time Meanwhile the commanding of1cer |
In the Philippines will continue the investi- I,
CATION, and as as anything develops I
which indicates wrongdoing on the part |
Of an officer charges Will be preferred
against him and he will be court-martialed. /
The civil government in the islands is said
to be mixed up in this matter to some ex-
tent, but the investigation has not peen SO
far completed as to show that any officials +
are criminally involved.
