the important shipped to northern mar
kets.
The chef means of transportation is
oy railroad The Florida East Coast
RAILWAY crosses the county from north
TO south about one-eighth mile from
the Indian river.
Inc county seat of ST. Lucie is Fort
fierce, situated on the beautiful Indian
river. Fort Pierce has grown in the
past few years from mere country
town to a thriving little city of several
thousand or more inhabitants. Fort
Pierce has library, a bakery, six
good hotels, ice factory, two dentists,
SIX lawyers, strong bank of $3.50, 900
deposits, a good band paved streets,
barrel factory, a lumber yard, six fish
houses, a skating rink, an opera house,
twoorchestras, three churches, concrete
works, four physicians, cabinet max
er, Masonic lodge, wagon factory,
cement sidewalks, blacksmith shop
two machine shops, two livery stables,
a Junior high school, Eastern Star
Chapter, two good newspapers, an Odd
Fellows Lodge, Royal Arch c apter,
SIX building contractors, two telephone
systems, a moving picture theatre,
three real estate agencies, undertaking
establishment, wholesale cattle COM
pany, an excellant photographic studio,
a picture framing establishment, seven
teen stores, one of which ranks among
the largest on the East Coast.
Fort Pierce is PAP miles south of
Jacksonville, Florida Fort Pierce is
bac ked up by good farming lands, it is
in the heart of the pineapple belt, the
county seat of the young and thriving
St. ucie county. Fort Pierce is but
one mile and half from the Atlantic
ocean, the commercial center of the
middle East Cast, division headquart-
ers of the Florida East Coast Railway.
Fort Pierce is three miles from the
Indian River Inlet, the great fishing
point, and only eighteen miles from
Santa Lucie Inlet, where the govern
ment will probably spend 81, AGO. 900
for harbor in the near future. The
citizens of Fort Pierce are ambitious
and Industrious, and the time is not far
off when Fort Perice will be the most
important city south of Jacksonville.
st. Lucie county has numerous pros
porous towns of which Roseland is the
farthest north, and the most sOutherly
Waverland.
Numerous herds of cattle roam at
liberty on the uncleared lands of CEN
trail and western st. Lucie county.
The draining of the Everglades would
be very great advantage to st. Lucie
county as it would make thousands OF
acres of land valuable for cultivation.
Camphor raising will probably be an
important industry in the near future.

than ever before. At Knights Key,
about thirty of the one hundred and
eighty concrete piers which will form
the foundation for the trestle at that
place, have been built. These thirty
piers are in the channel, where the
water is deepest and swiftest, but now
that more shallow water has been
reached, the building will be more
rapid Great quantities of material OF
every conceivable nature have been
assembled at Bahia Honda, where all
other gigantic trestle or viaduct is to
be built. This trestle will offer more
serious obstacles than any Of those so
far undertaken, mainly through the
great depth of water, swiftness Of tide
and roughness of water. This will nee
essarily make the work rather slow,
but chat the trestle will be built is
foregone conclusion. Work was COM
menced this week. All along the line
every branch or part Of the work nee
essary to complete and build the road
into Key West is being rushed with
greater dispatch than ever before, and
unless indications miscarry the pre-
dictOn of the engineers that trains
will be running into Key West within
the next year will prove realty.
Third Vice President j.. E. Ingraham
of the Florida East Coast Railway,
made leisurely trip down the keys in
his yacht Kathleen, to Key West last
week. He was more than pleased with
the progress of the work and saw no
reason why the trains should not be
rolling into Key West by next January.
The concrete work is progressing splen-
didly and the deepest of the water
having already been passed it will be
less difficult from now on. Mr.. In
graham. said "the contracts for the
steel superstructure were placed in
ample time and it would undoubtedly be
on the ground as soon as it is needed. I"
At the present time delay in the de-
livery of the steel superstructure seems
to be the only thing that would prevent
the completion of the road by January,
and before the end Of the year the only
gap open will be the one between
Pigeon Key and the little keys east of
Bahia Honda.
The St. Lucie County tribune. (Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County, Fla.) 1905-1920, 1909-05-21

Zojoji, the famous Buddhist temple,
situated in Shiba Park, Toxic, was
completely destroyed by fire a few
days ago, the damage amounting to
about 100000. Only those who know
the pride of the japanese in their ten
pies can conceive the effect of this
irreparable loss to the people. The
fire was set by beggar, who was liv-
ing in hole underneath the floor of
the temple. The man was cold and
started little blaze with a newspaper
and few sticks for warmth.

INDIAN WOMAN cor THE BEAR.
Prodded Him Out with Her Scissors,
Then TofnahaNvIted Him. s''

AS for that grit Of mountaineering
Indian women--which has been cele
brated in well-known book, there is
story in Fur News which is good
evidence of their. physical courage.
A dealer In skins tells of squaw
who was walking along on her snow
shoes one day when her small boy
saw a bear curled up under the snow
in his winter sleep. She could not kill
him where she was, so she dashed q
pair OF scissors to sapling, prodded
him out and smashed his head in with
her tomahawk as he emerged. g.
II gave her ten dollars for the skin,'
writes the dealer, so it was not bad
mornings work. Another ingenious
piece Of hunting that i remember was
accomplished by an Indian who found
two moose in a yard-that is, the
snow clearing which the animals
make. when the frosts are breaking
up. and the snow is too sharp and brit
tie for their comfortn. = 49,. T.. "
HE crept up. and got the female
with his tomahawk. The male was
driven to fury and It, was unsafe to ap-
proach him. The stroke Of a hoof
would put the Indian out of business
In close order. ~, ) .,;:... .s.': o..

bow and arrow from the trees, stuck a
sharp file into the point of the arrow,
made bowstring with the laces Of his
noccasins and shot the beast through
the heart" ''' -. .'".:.

Article Tells of the Spook that Haunted the College
During the Days When the Quaker Institution was

that he mother succeeded in getting
her TO tell what had so frightened her.
She could remember going up the pri-

to the lobby someone rose up from
under the window and struck at her
with big knife. The next thing there
was some one she thought was her
mother leaning over her and rubbing
her forehead. This was three months
after her night of terror. When the
roads becamesettled in the spring they
started home with her in the family
carriage, there being no railroads 70

arrived home after long and tedious
journey. broken in health and shatter-
ed in mind she never of herself. was
able to give any other version than the
one | have given. | heard from her
several years afterwards. but she had
never fully recovered from the shock
of that night
