Through the courtesy Of Mr.. W. H.

a copy of The TRIBUNE. 1t is dated
June oath. It's all right. You seem
to mix your copy with brains. You ap-
pear to have discriminating appreci-
alton of what people want. And be-
cause these three things are true = |
simply must have the paper every week
| therefore ask you to mail it to me
regularly--without failure or default
cation. expect to have Florida
postofiice address soon so ask that it be
sent to this address for six months only.
also re quest that you send me at
once five copies of the issue of June
24th-and that in future, whenever you
have matter pertaining to the develop
ment of Southern Florida reclamation
matters, or anything affecting the East
Coast--deep waterways, etc., you VIII
reserve and mail extra copies, for
which will be pleased to remit.
When | came north, the thing that
impressed me most was the COMPARE
lively little interest taken in politics.
In the south it was the main thing,
while up here | found that business was
the absorbing topic. Within the next
decade you are going to have from four
to five million population south of n 30
north latitude and you will find that
they will be more concerned in making
money and building up the country than
in local politics.
