GOVERNOR HAS STRENGTH
~ ENED THE DEMOCRAT.
IN D.: &c PARTY.
FEARS THE GOOD OLD PARTY IN
THIS STATE IS WIPED OFF
. THE EARTH.

A reporter Of the Tribune saw Mr.. J.
p. Campbell this morning and asked
him how tho democrats Of the state
liked the governors appointment of
Mr.. Thompson to the U. S. senate,
and he said:
TT looks to me as if the governor
has failed to bring about the harmony
he speaks of. It reminds me Of what
George Peoples said, when we were
holding a democratic convention at
Watertown in territorial days. We
had a big fight in the convention be-
tween Church and Day men, and at
ter the Day men were beaten they
went to another hall and held con-
vention of their own. George, In
speaking about it afterhe came home
said, Everything was harmonious,
we went to our hall and they stayed
in theirs
"Mr. Thompson may be all right
I never heard of him until he was ap-
pointed. l notice h, says. I am not
in favor of free trade He may vote
just as Mr.. Johnson did. OF course
if he does, this will harmonic the
democrats again. / fear the demo
cratic organization in the state is
wiped off the earth by this appoint
ment. But then, Mr.. Thompson is
not to be blamed or crucified for it. q

PREHISTORIC FOREST GIANT is
FOUND IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Hebron Tribune: Senator Ferd1-
nand Leutz has in his yard an unique
relic of former days when trees grew
profusely in North Dakota, and the
climate was of tropical variety. 1t
is a slab of petrified wood about
eight feet long by five feet wide;
part stone and part Ignite coal, and
was taken from the Hebron mine,
where it was found embedded in the
coal.
This section of a prehistoric tree
Is fiat even on the outside or side
the bark was on and leaves one to
guess what the circumference of the
tree may have been. 1t certainly
was a monster and may easily have
been twenty feet in diameter, or six
ty feet in circumference. And this
is found in country now destitute
Of trees.
What better evidence can we find
that the climate of country does
change, and many are now OF the
opinion that climate in this country
is becoming visibly warmer with each
decade.

Work on Bar Needed Now

The hsrbor entrance is the only thing that Is holding back the place from a great development and the i'm. provements on the harbor entrance have been estimated. the work mapped out and the prospective cost recorded.
 The United States Government EnRi- neering Corps has investigated the sit- uation carefully and have made a most favorable report on the matter. The subject is now in the hands of the Con. gressional committee for a little more discussion and 1t Is expected that short. ly the necessary work will be done that will throw St. Andrews Bay open to all maritime commerce.
 Congressman from Georgia, Alabama and Florida are all working for the improvement of thS harbor entrance. realizing that the bay is the geoerap hic and natural gateway for commerce for a large territory of each of these great productive States. Tn fact. Southern Alabama. Southern Georgia and North western Florida depend on St. An. drew's Bay for their future growth, and with such a section of the country backing the plan for Improvement the result is obvious.
 All the navies of all the world could safely ride out a storm in St. Andrews Bay. One stretch alone offers fourteen miles of water over forty feet deep.

A Steamer Trip Along the culs

The steamer lines plying to the bay are big. roomy sea-going vessels, with cabin accommodations that are not ex. celled on any coastwise line. The visitor can travel the gulf coast in req markably short time on these boats. visiting Pensacola, Mobile. Gulf Port and New Orleans, having a day to visit each city and make the whole trip from St. Andrews Bay to New Orleans and back in a week.
 Already Cuban boats are beginning to touch at Panama City and shortly, the bay will be in communication with the west Indies by a scheduls line.
 To the investor. St. Andrews Bay offers better returns for his money than any place in Florida. For the home seeker no better location can be found anywhere For the tourist and wealthy idier a better place to en-l ioyabiY kill time cannot be found For the health seeker, high piney, woods land is there on one side ana the salt water of the gulf is on the other. And as the waters of the bay are alive with fish and the iai5es in- land teeming with freshwater sporp for the angler, so are the woods full of game. It would be hard to ina another place that Nature has so iav" ishIy blessed with everything that in- terests every kind of man. 4

Fruit Grows in Profusion.

Grape fruit has been tried out. and since it was demonstrated that grape fruit have much to do with race-sui- eide. their price has advanced. and the country about St. Andrews Bay. es- pecially the peninsular across from the twin cities" grows grape fruit in profusion.
 As vet land is for sale about the bay at remarkable low prices, when Its value Is considered. One railroad has already been built and another Is within 37 miles of the coast. and they are rushing 1t to completion.
 The country is being opened and the land is going rapidly. At present pri- ces like ten and twelve dollars an acre are quoted on farm land few miles from the cities, but day after day sections and lots are being sold and day after day new settlers are coming in.

An oleander scented beech, ten niles long-a land-locked bay of tossing, crystal, clear water, and beyond the hum of the breakers on the sand bars of the Gulf Coast. An unlimited opportunity for the angler to become famous: the salt breeze of the Gulf and absolute rest. Panama City and St. An drews offer these to those who want surcease from a winter of toll.
 Four comfortable hotels are ready for their guests, and in them a full dress suit has never been seen. In fact, if anyone dared to wear an evening suit on the Gulf Coast a vigilance committee of rest seekers would wait upon him and he would do we'll to get away alive. Even a laundered collar looks as much out of place here as a hoop-skirt would look on a black snake.
 Right down to the beech the great pines have marched, and in the stiffness of the star-lit nights they hum their hymn as though a louder note would be out of place in this land of primitive nature and repose. In among the pines are century old live-oaks and from the trees great branches, swings the moss in trailing festoons, cast ing shadows ever changing on the crushed-sheu, winding driveways.
 And standing on the beech, with the clear water whipped into foam by the breeze, one, unconsciously, thinks of Timrod s farewell to the ocean:
 And oh. to be with that ship
 That l see through the binding brine
 Oh. Wind for thy sweep of land and oh. Sea for voice like thine!"
 But all the pleasure seekers are not swept off their feet by the

One Railroad Already
In Operation

The bay has one railroad in opera ton and two big sea gong steamers already doing business at the two towns. More boats are coming for the coast trade and other railroads are be- ing built.
 And another thing, there are only nine miles of land between the Appa- latchicola river and St. Andrews Bay, and the business done on the Appa- latchicola river, which stream is con sidered by the government a lake be- cause 1t has no navigable outlet. is estimated at $10.oo0,OO0 a year. This prospective canal, connecting the river with the bay has been surveyed and the government will shortly connect the river and bay with a canal-and then watch Panama City and St. An- drew's grow!

Easiest American Port to
 Defend from Invasion

The entrance to St. Andrews Bay has been so constructed by nature that hostile fleet could be sunk in thirty minutes by masked batteries that could never be located by an approaching enemy. The harbor entrance is In plain view from thirty miles of bay coast. Three batteries of heavy field artillery could keep hostile fleet out. A masked torpedo station, operating dirigible torpedoes. could attend to any fleet of boats that tried to pull off Dewey stunt. A mortar battery on East Peninsular. one of the most valuable pieces of land about the bay, could sink fleet before 1t got within three miles of the bar. Uncle Sam has found all this out and is figuring on the job of coast defense now.

For Furniture

And talking about manufactories and the Panama Canal-there Is an almost unlimited supply of hardwood few miles inland. There Is water power that can be developed for eIec- trieal driving and 1t would be pie time for the man who built furniture fac- tory, for he could cover the coast of the United States from the water and would have two railroads for his stun to go inland on. and a freight rate on boats. because of the rail- roads, and freight rate on railroads, because of the water. that would make him get out of bed at night to sit up and laugh.

Land About the Bay
Being Develops

Ali about s.. Andrews Bay are seen signs of dawning commercial activity. At Galloway, a high ground peninsu- lar a few miles up the bay from Pan- anna City. the land has been laid out for town. and town will be there beyond all doubt. Galloway is bank ing on some of the Apalintchieola River trade when the canal Is cut through from the river to East say, for the place is in direct line with the river and the gulf. f
 Seeing its advantageous location, the promoters of the Birmingham. ceipms bus and St. Andrews Bay Railroad are heading for Galloway and are nov within thirty-seven miles of the beach with the track.
 Ths land back of Caliaway is most desirable for truck farming. It is rich and dark and the most gratifying rss suits have been obtained from planting 1t. Grapefruit. lemons. oranges, and the higher grades of truck grow there. giving the best results with only . little fertilization.
 The entire vicinity except that whica has been cleared and ia planted. Is thickly wooded in it's low lands with cypress. the plains are dense in yellow pine, and the upiands covered with a profusion of live oak. hickory and oth- CT hard woods.
 The first saw mill ever established on the bay was built at this point and the splendid financial resuIts,t obs tained were not little responsible foR A x.ss, A,. .f s,f &t,a Anffres bay county. f ss MiIivisw. between Panama City ana Galloway, is' another promising Ibca- ton. and already boasts nearly thoua~ and settlers.
 Dotted about the bay are haif q dozen promising towns and when the East Pass channel Is deepened by the government. the entire lot will thrive and grow. making the Bay country one of the greatest in commercial im- poManes of Americas seaboards.
 One year ago the entire vicinity of the bay had no more than thousand inhabitants, many of them fishermen and negroes who earned living from day to day on what they could obtain for their direct sustenance. Today there are nearly 15.ooo people about the bay, a railroad running out over the water on big pier and another railroad steadily approaching the coast. Two steamers have been running to the bay for many months and third boat company is trying to nose it's way in- to the rapidly growing business.
 Along the waters edge between St. Andrews and Miliyiew the building lots are bringing prioes as high as lots on the residence streets of the princi- pal Southern cities. but as there is some fifty miles of coast about the bay all of 1t within few minutes launch ride of the railroads. there is plenty of room still for handsome beach lots.
 At present. ntsrcommunication be- tween the various points on the bay Is made in launches, but from each town good roads are being driven through the forests and within a few months all points will be in touch with. each other over nacadamized roadwaya.

St. Andrews Bay and Com
 munication with West Indies

With the West Indian islands St. An- drew's and Panama City are already doing a considerable business and an occasional vessel from South America drops In. As yet the principal freight from the port is cotton. lumber and naval stores, but as the railroad has only been operating a few months 1t Is not expected that 1t will get in touch with the Alabama and Georgia mineral fields at once.
 There is not city on the Gulf coast with brighter prospect for the future than the settlements about St. An- drew's Bay have. Good harbors arc scarce on the Gulf Coast. and like St. Andrews Bay cannot be passed by. The vicinity Of the bay is too health- full, the land Is too high. in some places fifty. feet above high water mark. for contemplating capitalists to see the op- portunity escape them.
