10 RECLAIM EVERGLADES.

i =.
A. o. Stranger of this city, who has
returned recently from a seyera
visit in Florida, was seen by a repre-
sentative of The Democrat recently
and in conversation. MIR. Stanger tolt
of the extensive drainage work be
ing inaugurated by the state of Flor
ida.
"a number Of parties from Cobra
do" said Mir. Stranger, "are buying
large holdings located in the Ever
glades, paying the state So per acre
In turn, they hire the state to drain
these lands at 81 per acre, and sell
the improved land to northern land
suckers ut SIS an acre, or there
abouts.
The soil is of coral formation
which contains per cent. phosphor-
us. The land is six feet above high
water and the engineers are working
from the mouth of the Miami river,
dredging this stream and expect to
construct diverging canals into the
heart of the swamp district, and in
that way drain these four million
acres of water soaked land, making
it fertile and productive for citrus
fruit growing.
Grape fruits are grown easily on
this fertilized coral rock formation,
/ and the trucksters sell them for $3.50
a crate, each of which contains fifty
grape fruits. On account of excess
i've express charges, and severe cold
| 4 the north, the fruit is shipped by
water to New York and Boston mark
cts, rather than by freight overland
TO Chicago and middle western cit
les"
Mr.. Stanger also visited Cuba while
| way and is of the opinion that the
government of that republic will
meet with many Instructions before
the present administration is com
oleted. 4'Only five per cent of the
rural inhabitants know how to read
ard write,' continued Mr.. Stranger,
while the population of the cities
is not much better. A monarchy
might exist in such conditions, but
lilliterate and ignorant people will
surely continue their custom of start
Ing revolutions and misunderstanding
q republican form of government"
Railroad extension is progressing
rapidly along the east coast Of Flor
ida, and the many keys" are being
connected by concrete bridges. Rail-
road navigations now reach Knights
Key, and preparations are being
to float trains on transport boats to
Cuba from the lowest point in Flor
ida.
