FLAClER HAS DONE
MUCH FOR FLORIDA

Florida has many charms that are
pleasing and attractive to the tourist
more, l think. than southern Cali
fornia- and many thousands of tour
lists visit Florida every winter.
Most of these tourists come from the
east and north. Very few people from
the west get down there.
I think it would be a good thing for
the state of Colorado if our railroads
would offer more inducements for our
people to go that way. 1t would ad-
vertise our state.
Our state undoubtedly has a finer
winter climate than Florida and no
one appreciates it so much as We who
have lived in our dry sunshiny climate.
Florida is very damp. 1t Is warm and
of course much better in winter than
Chicago or New York, but not SO pleas
ant and agreeable as Colorado.
If several thousand Colorado people
went to Florida in winter they would
involuntarily talk Colorado and ad-
vertise it greatly by making compari-
sons favorable to US. And all this
talk would bring people to Colorado.
The two things about Florida that
are most pleasing to US from the dry
west are the waterways and the rich
semi-tropical vegetation.
Florida is full of lakes and rivers,
and to enjoy it to the fullest one should
take in as many of the river trips as
possible.
went up the st. Johns river for
q little steamboat trip. The st. Johns
river is not a long river, but at Jack
sonville it appears to be wider and
larger than the Mississippi river at
New Orleans The water is clear and
the banks green with evergreen vege-
tation.
Into the st. Johns flows the Okla
waha, the crookedest and perhaps most
interesting river in this part of the
world 1t is very narrow and as
crooked as a Denver politician, yet
1t has no banks much of the way 1t
flows through a jungle of semi-tropical
vegetation and cyprus forest. If you
fell off the boat you would have to
either climb tree or swim and wade
through the jungle several miles to
find dry land. But / never heard OF
any one falling off and don't hardly
know how one would get out of the
predicament if one did.
The Okahumpka is little steamer
of odd shape and construction which
makes this trip during the winter sea-
son. 1t was made especially for this
river and would not be used else
where At night they build big fire
of fat pine on top the deck and the
unusual sights and sounds seen and
heard make il a wierd and long TO be
remembered experience.
This trip up the Oklawaha comes
nearer giving one touch OF the real
tropical jungles than one will get else
where in America.
George Rockafeliow took this trip
on the Okahumpke a few years ago
and he had a most remarkable adven-
ture with steamer rat. The rat must
have been about as big as cat. 1t
attacked him in his stateroom in the
dead of night. The rat was most
vicious aud led the assault. George
fought the rat off as well as he could
and finally put him to rout. But the
fight was so exciting that Mr.. r. could
not sleep any more so he sat up on
deck the rest of the night.
These adventures are not usual
however, as | have never heard of any
one else who ever had such an ex-
perience.
