Remarkable Opportunities
 For Truck Farming


 And as the clearings advance into the forests. the farmer follows in the wake of the lumberman for the ground is rich and the railroads take the ear ly vegetables and fruits straight away North to the ravenous mouth of the Eastern produce market. for Western Florida can beat any other trucking district to the market by a good many weeks and they get the price for the difference in time
 One man shipped north four cab oages the quartet tipping the scales at 110 pounds. one of them weighed 2s pounds by itsself. Other things grow with the same remarkable devel- opment. huge lemons. great turnips. potatoes as big as baby's head. and lemons the size of cocoanuts.

The Great Landlocked
 Harbor and Anchorage

St. Andrews Bay Is composed of a great central body of water with two arms reaching up and down the coast. all land-locked. save for the en trance from the Gulf Along these arms of the bay are some of the best farm lands of the South. It Is the ideal place for the home seeker. anl the home seekers have found 1t out. Be- sides the old population. scarcely g tenth of the present number. the com munity is made up of settlers from all parts of America. The fisherman from the East Is here, his place of birth told by the Cape Cod dory that swings "n the beach waves before his house Ca two story modern dwelling with orange trees about it)
 The wheat planter from Michigan can be seen pruning his lemon trees and getting out his lettuce and celery sets. The Californian is on hand with his grape vines draped from water oak to palmetto, and palmetto to magnolia.

Government Going to Open
 Up the Port

Seeing the great future of the place, Uncle Sam has had his engineers on the bay to. lay 1t on and see what sort of harbor 1t offers him. The engi- nsers reported 1o4 square miles os harbor with an average depth of forty feet and . twelve foot channel over the bar that few thousand dollars could make thirty feet and that would stay at thirty feet. At the next session of Congress the necessary appropriation will De made and St. Andrews Bay win take its stand among the Ameri- can sea ports.

Plenty of Good Drinking watS

Tn the vicinity of the bay artesias wells have been driven and water thas has no superior anywhere has beeI found Some of the wells. In fact mon of them, overflow freely. Besides thi heaithfui advantage. the land in ths vicinity of the bay is wefi drained bJ many small creeks and branches emps tying Into the bay and with little ars tidciai improvement there would p6 no standing water anywhere in tho section of the country. The cost of thit drainage would be trifling, especially compared to the improvement that would result and in fact much of ths work has already been started.
 Tn the line of improvements, goo< streets are being laid out. stretching for miles back into che country and : general air of business and improve 'ment of property is feis on all ssdes.

Tn be- tween these towns there are scattered some very beautiful houses. but with the advent of street car system. houses will spring up all along the bay.

Inland Towns Growing Rapidly

Madrid Is a town of good opportuni- ties and new houses are going up ali over the place. It Is in good farm. ing and timber section and is most desirable location. Cottondale is mol growing quite go fast because of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad which crosses the Atlanta and St. An. drew's Bay road at that place, refuses to help build the passenger and railroad crossing and in changing cars passengers have to walk quar- ter of a mile through sand. A sta- ton in the angle of the roads. where 1t ought to be. would be the making of a little town that has bright future If this Is done.

what q Government ofacer say,

In speaking of the, future of fhe st. Andrews Bay vicinits. one oe the Gov ernment engineers who looked Into the conditions. has the following para graph in his official report:
 ''Inasmuch as one railroad has been built and another partially completed, from my viewpoint, the Government is more than Justified in extensively im- proving the harhor entrance. The railroads assure and will bring vol ume of business olthis port from a gathering territory intersected by g.. 344.42 miles of operating railroads. which have no seaport on the gulf coast with real deep water. With the St. Andrews Bay entrance suificiently improved you can conservatively esti- mate business that will be second to none on the Gulf Coast. the cotnmer. cial importance Of which will justify extensive improvements of the hsr. bor .

More Fish Than Can Ever
 Be Caught \ Developing Country That Has No
 Near Rival.

muse, there are some who come to Panama City and St. Andrews who are made of more matter-of-fact stuff. The sight of an angler hay ing his mornings catch trundled home in a wheelbarrow gets on their nerves, and they forget the beauty of the place to buy a pole and tackle
 And talk about fishing-the Gulf Coast seems to be the place that all the fish start from and where most of them come back. You do not have to catch them to know they are there, you GAN SEE THEM IN THE WATER. The angler who fishes from the wharf chooses his drop by the number of fish he SEES. It's cas- fer than taking candy from a baby, except when a big fellow is hook ed, and then the fun begins.
 Black and red snappers, blue fish, trout, sheep head, king and spanish mackerel, groupers, red fish, pompano, tarpon, and a whole lot more that people throw back overheard because they do not know their names and therefore cannot tell just exactly when they caught larger one before, are to be found in lavish abundance in the waters, not only of the bay, but all about the piers that run out from the shore in twenty places.
 The most brazen and Munchaus- en-like fish story of other parts of the world pales into painful and puerile, pimply, pessimistic insig- nifcance beside the actual facts that are demonstrated to the ang- Ter every day at St. Andrews and Panama City.
 How do you get to this Mecca for summer visitors?
 Take the Atlantic Coast Line, or the Central of Georgia for Do than, in Houston county, Alabama, then take the Atlanta and St. An drews Bay Railroad for Panama City, and there you are. The ho- tel people will attend to the rest the "rest" being, the remainder of detail and "the other rest. "
 If you are not satisfied with fish ing from the piers, just take d berth in one of the fishing smacks and spend three days at red snap per bank, thirty miles off shore, and if you don't get your "ah- dominiac" full of fishing then, the only other place for you to try is the river Styx, and you ought to go there if you are not satisfied

People From All Over

The Business Field
About the Bay

But all that pretty part that the lazy pleasure seekers revel in is not the entire make up of St. Andrews and Panama City. Busi- ness is coming and more and more of 1t all the time.
 6o'ooo,ooo feet of lumber ars shipped out Of St. Andrews bay every year. Around the bay there are half a dozen or the inevitable saw mills tearing away at the forests. and one stumbles upon turpentine still every five or six miles back into the country.

Will Ship Alabama Minerals
Through the Bay

Uncle Sam sees that 1t would be very easy to haul Alabama minerals to the Florida coast and ship them all oyer the world. and he knows that as soon as the ditch at Aspinwal is finished there will be foreign vessels from all over the world calling for the Florida and Alabama products and he wants to get ready for the new market.

Capitalists investing There Now

Already there are three big fish com panies doing business along the bay shore; there are two modern ice fac- tories. several saw mills. four hotels. two steamship companies. one railroad. a population of more than 5000 peo- pie in the vicinity of the railroad alone. and at least 10000 people scat tered about the shores of the bay. Modern stores in each community have been built where anything that can be bought in big city can be had.

Land Behind the Bay
Is Very Fertile

Both railroads in Northwestern Flor ida traverse very fertile country that only awaits the advent of more farm CTS to become a very wealthy section of the South. Any sort of truck farm- ing and cotton and corn planting can be done in the new territory. The land is all new and will need scarcely any fertilizing for many years.

CHEERS
To FIGHT
WILL CONTEST
PROSECUTION IN FREEZUM
CASES - ONE MAN PLEADS
GUILTY TODAY.

Despite the fact that the prose
cutting attorneys office will not
ask for the maximum fine in the
"freezum" cases for those who
plead guilty. it is known that a
number of the butchers charged
with the unhealthy use of preserv-
atives. will fight their cases
through the courts.
The first of these to be ar
raigned, Harry Nash, yesterday
announced in Justice Cards court
that he would plead mot guilty.
and Others are expected to follow
in his footsteps when called into
court Monday. The issuance of
further warrants for arrests de-
ponds upon Deputy Food Commits
sioner Adams, who is at present
out of the city.
Frank Phil pleaded guilty this
morning before Justice Graham,
making the sixth butcher who has
preferrec to admit his guilt, re-
ceive a light fine, and promise to
be good henceforth, rather than
take the risk Of "a public trial;
which even IL ii resulted In ac-
quittal, would mean much public
ity and consequent injury to trade.
The amount of the fines against
those who have pleaded guilty
will probably not be announced
until Monday. Justice Card this
morning stated that the trials OF
those who contest their cases will
probably have to be postponed for
a month or more because of the
enforced absence of Commissioner
Adams. whose Investigations
brought about the arrests of the
butchers now charged with selling
tainted hamburger. -

eral hundred miners are entomb-
ed under thousands of tons of
earth. is slowly giving up it's dead.
When the rescuers again de-
scended today into the main shaft
they brought eight badly charred
bodies to the surface, making a
total of nine recovered.
{. The fire which has been rag
ing furiousIy. slhce last Saturday,
has practically burned itself out.
When the. rescue party. headed
by Mine Inspectors Taylor and
Moses. reached the 200-foot level
this morning they were confront
ed by a number of victims hud-
died together. Appearances in
dicated that thesdead had climbed
from lower levels than the goo
foot level.
= Suffocated to Death.
The imprints of finger nails in
the palms of their hands indica.-
ed that they had suffocated before
the flames had reached them.
On account of the poisonous
gases the rescuers were enabled
to remain under the surface only
a few seconds and during this
time only eight bodies could be
recovered. A second trip will be
made into the shaft later in the
day.
