TO DRAIN THE EVERGLADES.
Vast Area of Swamp Land in Florida
to Be Reclaimed.

To save and use some 100000 or
100000 acres Of land which has
been supposed to be waste and which
has been given over to reptiles and
wild animals, is the project which the
governor Of Florida and certain Of the
States capitalists have undertaken.
The famous Everglades are to be
drained, in fact-and vast area Of
land which has been lost to the use
of men, much Of which has been over
flowed with water and thousands of
thousands of acres of which are al
most impossible swamp, are to be
brought under cultivation. Florida is
to become much more wonderful
State even than it has been heretofore
and that means great deal.
A. B. Clark in an interesting ar
t:cle in the Technical World Magazine
explains the difficulties m the way Of
saving this immense acreage and the
benefits which will accrue to the State
from the carrying oct CT the enter
prise.
"The importance Of this immense
undertaking can with difficulty be
comprehended," says the writer. 1T
is estimated in figures which can
scarcely be understood by the oroi-
nary mind The reclamation OF this
land means the addition to Florida OF
nearly as much Cultivated land as she
now has. It VIII mean the throwing
open to cultivation Of an area twice
as large as the State Of Connecticut.
at means that Florida will become
the sugar producing State Of the Un-
ion and that for her sugar products
the s150,O00,O00 will be paid which is
now annually sent abroad for import
ed sugar, an amount expended for an
import which exceeds by several mil
lion dollars -he value Of our united
exports Of cora, wheat, flour beef ana
naval stores 1t means that Florida
will in few years become one of the
richest and most important States in
the Union"

TO Retire COLONEL AYRES
Board of Inquiry Is Called Together
Officers Wife Criticized Au-
thorities at West Point.

Washington, July IA board of in
quiry TO determine whether or not Colonel
Ayres shall be retired has been ordered
to convene in Washington.
The details for the board is as follows:
Brigadier General John NJ. X. Davis, Col
Onel Charles A. P. Hatfield, Thirteenth
cavalry; Lieutenant Colonel William P.
Evans Eleventh Cavalry: Major Guy l..
Eide, surgeon; Captain Sanford II. Wad-
hams. assistant surgeon, and Captain VIII
liam T. Johnston, Fifteenth cavalry, as
recorder.
This board will make a thorough ex-
animation of Colonel Ayres physically and
mentally, with a view to ascertaining
whether he is eligible for retirement.
The immediate cause for the order was
the publication recently in an interview
with Colonel Ayres, in which he is alleged
to have criticized army methods In discuss
ing the trouble between Mrs Ayres and
the military authorities at West Point.
The retiring board is ordered in accord
ance with section 1916 revised statutes.
A preceding section provides that any of
ficer who has served fOrty-flVe years as
a commissioned officer OF is 81 years old
may be retired from active service at
the discretion of the president. Ths-board
may inquire into and determine the facts
touching the nature and occasion Of the
disability of any officer who appears to
be incapable of performing the duties and
determine whether or not his incapability
is incident to the service, in which case
he may be placed on the retired list. 9th
erWise the officer may be wholly retired,
which, of course, carries with it a COM
piete loss of retired pay.
Colonel Ayres received his commission
as a second lieutenant of the Twenty fifth
infantry October 81, 1874, and has conse-
uuently been more than thirty-two years
in the commissioned service, but not forty
five years, so that if he is now retired IT
must be on account of disability physical
ly or mentally. marking him as being in
capable of performing the duties of his
office
