How a Cat Caught Two Rats.

once had cat who did a rather
remarkable rafting feat. He stalked
two young rats on the caves OF low
fiat stable roof, and caught one in the
usual way. The other jumped on to
an elderberry tree just below.
Bob. however. not satisfied with the
one. grasped 1t firmly In his mouth.
and then jumped headlong for the 9TH
er. Either he was very lucky or
extraordinarily agile. for he fell 10
the ground with one rat still in his
mouth and the other in his paws. I'D
promptly killed them both.-Scots-

Panama City pilot., 1908-04-16

j. l.. Williams in his "View of
West Florida" published in 1927 has
this to say upon the subject:
"The internal navigation of Florida
is subject equally important to the
territory, the adjoining states, and
the whole American republic. The
seacoast is about twelve hundred
miles in extent, and the southern
part in particular, the most danger
Gus, perhaps, of the western CONT
nent. 1t has been found, that the
insurance offices of the Atlantic cities,
during the year 1926, lost, by wrecks
on the coast of Florida, the enormous
sum of $500, 900 dollars; sum more
than sufficient to complete canal

WATERWAYS.
St Andrews Bay and Its
Connections.

The subject of waterways and
transportation thereby has been one
Of marked interest III he United
States ever since the War of indie
pendence. The Improvement of the
rivers; the constructing of canals
where they were needed and condi-
tons warranted their being built;
were demanded by all parties, both
to cheaper and quicken transporta-
ton and as helpful in a defensive way
through uniting the ID original colo
MES by closer natural bonds.
No sooner was the territory of Flo
rida added to the United States than
q camel across its peninsula, and
westward through the bays and
sounds along it's Gulf coast, was talk
ed of, and it's immediate construction
urged, the reasons given for the
same being the danger from ship
wreck through navigating the straits
of Florida, as well as the loss from
attacks by pirates in that section, al
SO that this country might thereby be
better enabled 70 repulse attacks
from foreign powers, through having
an interior inland waterway COM
munication between the Atlantic
states and those of the Gulf and
Mississippi valley.
Brinton in his "Floridian PENN
sula" published in 1859, has the fol-
lowing upon this subject:
''Neither were general internal i'm
provements sighted. A project was
set on foot to avoid the dangerous
navigation round the Florida Keys by
a direct transportation across the
neck of the PENINSULA design that
has ever been the darling hobby of
ambitious Floridians since they be-
came members of our cOnfederacy
and which at length seems destined
to be fulfilled. Now railroads, in
that day canals were to be the means.
AS early as 1928, General Bernard,
who had been dispatched for the
purpose had completed two dwellings
for canal routes, had sketched an ac-
curate map on an extended scale,
and had laid before the general gov
eminent report embracing a topo'
graphical and photographed de-
scription of the territory, the result
of his SURVEYS, with remarks on the
inland navigation of the coast from
Tampa to the head of the delta OF
the Mississippi, and the possible and
actual improvements therein. Not
withstanding these magnificent pre-
parations, it is unnecessary to add
the canal is still unborn"
This report of General Bernard
will be found with other matters con
nected with the subject in

This handsome slOOp was
built in 1907, by ID. w. Parker,
at Parker. Its length is 20
feet, beam ) feet 6inches. 1t is
a round bottom, centre board
boat, with modified tranSom
stern. 1t is said TO be the
fastest sail boat on the bav
This is the only picture of the
many sail boats on st An
drews Bay that the PILOT has
been able to get for this pic
tOrial exhibition. There are
many such boats owned and
used on the bay, but not near
the number there were 90
years ago, before the advent
OF the launches.
Peter, Charles and Dan W.
Parker have built quite few
boats at Parker, many of which
have been noted for speed.

very valuable letters to the secretary
at war, and the committee on roads
and canals, here inserted, | am in
debted to his politencs3. But, in
stead of eighteen miles, let us take
forty miles as the length Of the canal,
and estimate the expense, per mile,
at eleven thousand dollars; and it
will amount to no more than $40, 900
dollars: sixty thousand dollars, there
fore, would be saved in one year,
over and above all expenses of the
work; and hundreds of lives would
be saved annually, in addition. This
would disarm the southern navigation
of al. its dangers, and all its terrors.
This canal would, in effect, bring

eight hundred miles nearer to the

Atlantic states. 1t would unite the
eastern and western states more
closely than any other public i'm
war, the advantages resulting from
such canal would be incalculable.
1t is around our numerous capes and

of Mexico, that our commerce is most

Johns to the Suwanee river. The
draught of water on the St Johns, as
we'll as on the Mississippi bar, is about
twelve FEET, at middle tide: that, C
course, ought to be the depth of
water in the canal. The highest
ground, between the two rivers. is
estimated at forty feet; but, for safety,
let us say sixty feet, in the deepest
cut. Col. White estimates the dis
lance here at eighteen miles: for his

BOATS AND DATING, 14OO- 1900.


Since the accomplishment of the
New-York canal, the difficulties TO be
encountered in the construction of
such works are greatly diminished;
and a canal of forty miles, i'll com
paratively level country, although
drawing twelve feet of water, bears
but a small proportion to one ofthree
hundred miles, carried over rivers,
valleys, and mountains.
To the westward of the peninsula,
the navigation of the seacOast is COM
paratively safe; but an internal boat
navigation can be so easily Obtained,
and il would 50 greatly facilitate the
communication from every part of
the territory, that there can be no
doubt of its early completion. Eleven
miles, at most, of canal, would com
plete an inward passage from the APP
palachee to the PerdidO bay, dis
lance, by water, of three hundred
miles.
The Appalachee and Appalachicola
bays are already connected by st
Georges sound. The navigation, by
vessels drawing six feet of water, is
good, with the exception of one mar
row oyster bar, which crosses the
sound about midway; through this,
a channel could easily be opened; at
present, at low tide, there is not more
than four feet of water on this bar.
To connect the bays of Appalachi-
cola and st Andrews, three routes
are presented
LIST. Up the Appalach.cola river,
thirty-fve miles, to its junction with
the ChapOla river; then up the Cha
pola, and HOrt's lake, ten miles, OPP
posite to the heads of WetappO creek;
thence by a canal, three miles, to the
WetappO; thence down the Wetappo,
seven miles, to the east arm of st
Andrews bay.
I'd. Up the AppalachicOla river,
seven miles, to Wimico lake; thence
across the lake, seven miles; thence
by a canal, three miles, into st
Joseph's bay; thence across the bay,
twenty miles; thence round Cape
False to the sound, behind Crooked
and Hammock islands, twelve miles;
thence through the sound to st An
drew'S, twenty miles.
3D. From the AppalachicOla bay,
through the Indian pass, to the pc
ninsula south of st JOseph's, sixteen
miles: then by a canal across the
peninsula. to avoid Cape st Bias, one
mile; thence round Cape False, as
before.
In these three routes, there Is only
one mile of Offence in the dista nee.
In the first route, the currents OF the
rivers are to be overcome: in the
second, the west end of WimicO lake,
and the south shore of st JOseph'S
! bay. are quite shOal: in the third
route, both sides of the peninsula are
/ shoal, and the Indian pass is also
considerably Obstructed by oyster
! bars.
A canal of five miles would connect
! the WapaluXy creek, of st Andrews,
with the Pond branch of the Chloe
/ tawhatchee river. \ canal of one
mile would connect the Big Lagoon,
/ below Barrancas, with the Perdldo
bav. And a canal of four and half
miles would connect the LaLance
creek, of the Perdido, with BOnsecure,
a creek and bay of Mobile harbour.
j. NJ. White, the second represen-
tative from the territory OF Florida,
took a deep interest in this improve
ment and was successful in securing
the adoption of a bill in the house in
February, 1926, calling for a survey
for a canal between the Atlantic and

and pirates of every description.
This canal would save our govern
ment from the necessity of keeping a
fleet in the Gulf of Mexico, in times
of peace; and in times of war, it
would facilitate the transportation of
troops and military stores from the
eastern and western shores, and
afford a safe retreat for the small
prizes, which might be taken in the
southern waters. By increasing the
value of land in its vicinity, it would
throw a large fund into the national
treasury; and by INCREASING the pOpu-
lation, it would greatly strengthen
the southern frontier of our republic.
To the inhabitants of the territory, ii
would afford employment, encourage
industry and enterprise, and bring a
market to their doors.

crowd. In an interview the Oklahoma
governor made additional answer to the
charges of William r. Hearst. He de-
clared he had always been the friend of
organized labor AS 10 his having been
connected with the Standard Oil company,
Mr.. Haskell declared it an absolute false
hood. -a.-f---
Governor Haskell continued:
Hearst says that in 1860 Frank Monett.

pending in the Ohio supreme court against
the Standard Oil. and mat c. b: S4Yuiers

and C. n. Haskell had authorized him to

homa and told the same story in my cam
paign a year ago.
Mr.. Monet came to Oklahoma last
September and spoke in the convention
hall of Oklahoma in answer to Sheets.
Mr.. Monet branded statements that
had been connected with the Standard OIL
company as false. saying: 1 am convinced
that the spurious story is untrue. and /
am certain that Haskell had nothing TO
do with the Standard Oil company and
was in no Vay connected with IT. -
Governor Haskell said 1t was possible
that the editor-politician had confused
him with w. c. Haskell of Washington.

case, for | do not know w. c. Haskell,

nected with the Standard Oil company"

STATE MAY NIP
RED LIGHT DEAL
Governor Cutler Calls Upon At
tOrney General to Investi-
gate Charter of Company.

Governor Cutler yesterday instructed
NJ. A. Breeder. attorney general, to
proceed against the Citizens Invest
ment company. which is building the
new red light district, with a view OF
taking away its state charter If the
facts warrant such action.
The governor put the burden upon
the official organ of the Republican
party TO furnish the proof that the cor
poration intends TO use the structures
it is now erecting for Illegal purposes.
This action was taken apparently as a
result of the article in that paper yes
terday, in which the state officials were
called upon to do something. The gov
ernor's letter follows:
Referring TO the articles of incor-
poration of the Citizens Investment
company and the public discussion of
the purposes of this Incorporation, 1
desire to submit the following: It is
very questionable if there would be
sufficient grounds for the disincorpora-
ton of this company on the statement
of certain persons that ii is their belief
that the company intends 10 use the
buildings. when completed. as a red
light district.
But If the statements made in this
mornings issue of the Inter Mountain
Republican are true. that there is
new red light district, then there are
sufficient grounds on which to COM
mence proceedings for disincorpora-
ton. 1t says: The company that Is
building the new red light district is
Incorporated under the laws OF the
state. 1t secured its papers with false
hood and Misrepresentation.
The men who got that charter have
IoI frn i'm
prisonment.'
II request you to call upon the Re-
publican for proof of these statements.
If they are found to be true, ask that
you take immediate steps TO dissolve
said corporation"
