.U.S.SURVEY OF
EVERGLADES
Also Government Aid in Drainage
to be Asked for by
SENATOR TALIAFERRO
Proposes to Embrace tverglade Project
With Arid Land Plan TO Insure Speedy
and Certain Completion

Senator TaiaferO intends to endeavor
to enlist the aid of the government in
the work of drai ing the Florida Ever
glades.
In view of the many rumors that the
senior senator was opposed to the pro-
position, representative of the Times
Union called on him Thursday and asked
him directly if there was any founda-
tion for the reports.
"rhere is not" promptly replied the
senator. Indeed" continued he, 81
have watched with much interest the
development of the work done by the
State, and none would be more gratitied
than to see it come to a speedy and
satisfactory conclusion. for know it
would mean much to Florida. | am not
familiar with all of the details of the
work but | know that the general gov
eminent has placed some sort of OBJ
stacle in the way of the State in a
notice that Lake Okeechobee as a
navigable body of water should not be
tapped, or certainly to such an extent
as would materially lessen its depth.
In view of this am DESTROYS that the
government shall make careful and
complete investigation which shall en-
brace the question of how far Okeecho-
bee may be tapped, what effect the
lake has upon climatic conditions, its
value as an irrigation reservoir, the
value of the lands of the 'Gades for
agricultural purposes when it is drained
and the cost of complete drainagc--all
of this with view to inducing the gov
eminent to undertake the work, with
stipulation that repayment shall be
made out of the proceeds of the sales
of the lands. This, as | understand
the matter, is the plan of the arid land
act under which vast areas of hereto
fore dry and sterile lands in the West
have been reclaimed and devoted to
agriculture with marvellous results.
eff the West is TO be considered in
so generous way why not the South
and why not Florida? Reclamation is
reclamation, whether it be by the pro-
cess of putting water on land or taking
it off; and if rich areas may be re-
claimed by one process or the other
am in favor of reclamation.
"You will understand, of course, that
the general government proceeds with
care and caution in all of it's public
works, whether it be on rivers or har-
bors or what not, and all work, even to
so small matter as the establishment
of a rural route, preceded by a care
full investigation to determine cost and
probable results,
''The first step, therefore. is survey
and when ] go to Washington this
month shall introduce bill for a
complete investigation and survey of
the Everglades with view to reclama-
ton. If that survey discIoses that the
project is feasible, that so vast an area
can be reclaimed for the uses of man,
then | shall do all that can to en-
brace the Florida Everglade project
within the arid land plan, which would
of course insure ample means for cer-
tain and speedy completion of the work.

BOND ISSUE A
SURE SUCCESS
Complete Returns Will Give Ma

FORT PIERCE DID fine
Calvin }. Reams, E. Sidney Williams and
George f. Dutton Undoubted Iy Elected
Trustees-ResuIt Quite Satisfactory

st. Lucie county has Joined the pro-
gressive counties of the State in an en-
deavor to construct a system of hard
surfaced roads, the election held We'd
nesday submitting the question of issu-
ing bonds in the sum of $500, 600 having
carried successfully by a majority of
not less than seventy-five throughout
the county. With full returns from
every precinct except Tantie and Fort
Drum, the majority for bonds now
stands one hundred and one The two re-
naming precincts have but twenty
eight qualified voters, and it is known
that at each precinct there will be one
or more votes for bonds, which makes
the prediction safe that the official
count will show total majority for
bonds of not less than seventy-fve.
From incomplete returns the election
of C.. j. Reams for the first district, E.
S. Williams for the second district, and
G. E. Dutton for the third district as
road bond trustees, seems certain.
Viking is again the banner bond pre-
cinct, by vote of ten to one; followed
closely by Jensen with vote of forty
two to two, and Fort Pierce with vote
Vi OIe HuIlVTeu anu Ten W thirteen. III
the bond election held April goth, bonds
were defeated by twenty majority-en-
tirely the result of bond men in the Fort
Pierce precinct remaining away from
the polls. In the present election Fort
Pierce has made good. increasing it's
majority for bonds from twenty three
to ninety-seven-a result which has add
ed substantially to the result of the
county; although an increased bond vote
was polled in seven of the twelve pre-
cinctS.
The Fort Pierce result was not OBJ
tanned without work-nOt less than six
of our citizens making it their business
to stay constantly at the polls, while
nearly twenty-five devoted part of
the day to the work. They were de-
termined that an issue so important to
the welfare of the county should not
again be defeated by the inaction of
our citizens, and when voter failed to
appear messenger was sent for him
and he was brought to the polls. In
this way nearly a full vote Of the quail
fed list was pOlled.
The following is the returns as made
by the inspectors:

Broward Booms Florida in Chicago

Enthusiastic over the nation wide in
terest shown in Florida as a whole, and
the Everglades in particular, former
Governor N. b. BrOward returned last
Saturday from Chicago, where he at
tended the National Farm and Land
Congress, held in the auditorium of the
LaSalle hotel from November 18th to
Goth, and attended by many of the
strongest men in public life today.
More interest was shown in Florida
than in any other State in the Union,
and advertising received will prove of
incalculable benefit.
The congress was arranged by the
Hearst syndicate of newspapers, and
proved one of grand success in every
feature, as did land exposition, held
at the Auditorium, another big hotel of
the Windy City, The attendance Of
hOmeseekers at both events was inn
mense, and many purchases Of Ever
glades farm and garden tracts were
made during the week. The closing
feature was q biz banquet at the La.
Sale hotel, at which Governor Brow,
ard spoke on Everglades reclamation,
and the Hearst syndicate sent out 200
copies Of his speech for publication In
as many newspapers Of the country,
"As an illustration Of the interest
shown" said Ex-Governor Broward to
a Metropolis reporter, lone company
sold fourteen farm tracts within a few
minutes after my address on drainage,
and another sold three and still another
sold one. These tracts were sold In
the banquet hall and In the hotel writ.

It will mean that the New York No.,

VIII ne given the preference in all fu.

more work and money for the metal
Snop trades and steel work ers in New

But even if the Florida be not com.
pleted before the Utah, her sister shin.
she will still be the largest and most
powerful battleship in the world. The
Utah's displacement will be 81, 1897 tons,
43S tons smaller.
TO persons who saw the beginning If
the great war vessels growth with the
laying of her keel last March. the pro.
gress made in developing the vertebral
column, bottom and sides of the steel
giant, seems remarkable. From the
long line of tightly riveted plates con-
shutting the keel there have grown
out on both sides the great metal ribs
OF the ship, which have now been
sheathed with steel. The ponderous
stem that gives shape to the prov is in
place, as is the hugh frame that will
carry the rudder. The plating on The
inner bottom and the outer armor is
practically completed. One of the
hugh turrets is already set up.
Early in March, or not later than the
first of April, the great mass of steel
will be ready for launching, and before
the end of the year the battleship Flor
ida will he in commission, the queen of
the United States Navy.

BAZAAR AND OYSTER
SUPPER A SUCCESS

The bazaar and oysters supper given
by the Ladies' Aid Society of the First
Presbyterian church in the Improve.
ment club hall, Thanksgiving Afternoon
and evening" was most complete
financial success and very enjoyable
social affair.
The bazaar opened in the early after
noon and did a splendid business unit
eight o'clock, while the oyster supper
was announced at five o'clock, the din
ing room remaining crowded until after
seven, when the doors were closed on
account of the supply of oysters being
exhausted.
The fancy work booth was presided
over by Miss Winnifred Hartman, ably
assisted by Mrs. A. M. Sample The
decorations at this booth were very
pretty, the colors being pink and white
and the many elegant fancy pieces,
mostly hand work by our town people
added greatly to it's appearance.
The "Mother Goose booth offered
sport to the younger crowd. This was
presided over by the Mesdames r. R..
Gladwin and F. R. Horton. The dec
Orati0ns here were red and white and
many were the little Mother Goose
rhymes verified.
The doll booth was pleasing to the
eye, especially so to the little girls.
The decorations were very tasty, the
colors being blue and white. Mrs. w.
r. Jackson was in charge and her un-
firing efforts were appreciated.
Master Stephen Gladwin dispensed
delicious "frappa" to the thirsty throng
while Eugene Horton, impersonated
Little Boy Blue and sold peanuts
and popcorn through the crowd.
Mrs. S. B. Castle was in charge of
the domestic booth assisted by Mrs.
Geo. Saunders. The decorations in

Andrews presided over the candy and
cake booth. Here the decorations were
beautiful, and the most delicious home
made candies and cake of many varie-
ties could be found. Miss Genie An.
drews, dressed as "Queen of Hearts"
added much to attraction of this booth.
The flower and fruit booth was in
charge of Mrs. A. X. Wilson. The
decorations in this booth were very at
tractive, the colors being pink and
white mingled with the green vines and
potted plants lent a beautiful effect.
Here cut flowers and ported plants OF
many varieties were found, with good
supply of the seasons fruit.
Miss Maggie Bell Thaxton was in
charge OF the Japanese booth where q
most delicious cup OF tea was served.
This, too, was a very attractive booth,
especially to the young men, who were
all fond of tea.
