Mr.. Newman was visitor to the State capital
last week and when asked by a representative Of

z In 1893 got an order from Mr.. III. B. Plant to
survey line from Fort Myers to Miami. Mr..
James b. lngraham, then President of the South
Florida Railroad, one OF Mr.. Plants railroads,
accompanied me on the survey. We were nine
teen days crossing the 'glades and we may be
SAID to have been the first to prove the excellence
OF tne quality OF the land In the 'gades. So fay
orabiy impressed was MIR. Ingraham that he or.
gained a sugar company and made all sorts OF
EFFORTS TO secure the lan0s from the State, promis
ing TO drain them, to use them for the cultivation
o. cane, and so on.
ihat this trip proved the practicablty OF
drainage to Mr.. Ingrahams satisfaction Is well
known My idea then was to cut into the Miami
River at the rapids. Long afterwards, studying
tne subject carefully, decided that there was too
mucn rock near the Miami River, and after
Garetul survey discovered place where the
eastern rim OF the basin Of the Everglades Is only

Oh course, but the main thing is to cut through

aitches as the farmers who will certainly use the
