it. My brother has bicycle, too
Once in a while &c goes one way and l

and sometimes he wins. He is larger and
most always wins.
one time friend of mine and thought
we would take a little ride out into the
country. She didn't have any bicycle, so
we took mine l sat on the seat and she
rode on the pedals. When we got out a
little ways we heard something humping
against our back wheel. We stopped and
got off and felt of the back tire We
found it was soft, so we turned around
and started for home.
We walked most of the way.

of Gov. Broward and his report to the
government on the Everglades and its
possible reclamation have undoubtedly
done much toward inducing favorable
consideration of the territory in the
West where the lands are being sold
The reported employment by the State
in this capacity of Mr.. Wright comes
drought the Jacksonville Metropolis,
as follows:
One of the latest and most important
developments of the Everglades drain
age work is the, recent decision of the
Trustees of the Internal Improvement
fund Of Florida to place the whole work
under the supervisor of J. o. Wright,
G.. E., who is one of the best posted
experts on drainage in the United
States. Mr.. Wright is known to many
people in this State as the official Sc
lected by the government to make an
investigation of the Florida Everglades
and whose report was printed and cir
culated throughout the country.
In addition to the appointment of
Mr.. Wright to this important position,
the Trustees were in conference with
the representatives of the various big
land companies, who assured the Trus-
tees that they were ready to advance
the funds necessary to the accomplish
ment of the work. An agreement to
that effect has been signed, and leaves
no speculation as to the furtherance of
future operations.
Several week ago advertisement was
made for bids for the drainage work,
and the contracts will be awarded in
few days. The information as given
above is learned through several of
those interested in the Everglades, and
will no doubt be the means of greatly
increasing the sales of lands, as well
as making the people of Florida feel
sure of final success of the great opera
tons. Under the new plans of the
Trustees of the Internal Improvement
Fund, there will be great increase
of work before many months, and by
the beginning of next winter the hard
est part of preparations will be over.

BROWARD IS
A CANDIDATE
Former Governor Makes a Posi-
tive Public Statement
WILL CANVASS STATE
Favorite Aspirant for Senatorial Honors
Will Rest His Chances With the Masses
Whom he Expects to Serve

Former Governor Napoleon B. Brow
ard reiterated the statement that he
was positively a candidate for the
United States Senatorship, and that ne
would make as active canvass OF the
State as his duties and the time Will
premit.
The former Governor has issued the
following card to the Democratic
voters:
''Tothe Democratic Voters of Florida:
al am candidate for United States
Senator and solicit the support of the
people in the approaching Democratic
primaries. My personal inclination is
not to he again a candidate for this high
position, but it so happens that for the
last six or eight years | have been
actively and more or less prominently
connected as Governor, and otherwise,
with the public questions affecting the
people of this State; and friends from
all portions of the State who believe as
| do on public questions, have urged me
to become candidate. Under these
circumstances do not feel that have
the right to disregard their wishes. To
me, at least, my duty is plain.
III profess allegiance to the principles
of the Democratic party, but, inasmuch
as men are Justly judged by what they
say, the people will be able to decide
for themselves by remembering or be-
coming acquainted with the policies
which | have advocated and which have
been adopted during my term of office
as Governor, whether | am worthy OF
their further confidence and support.
believe am in sympathy with the
higher and better interests which effect
the people of Florida. If you believe
likewise, respectfully ask you for
your support =,
81 am not rich man, and will. there
fore, not be able to conduct an expen-
sive campaign. On the contary, my
chances of success must rest very large
" upon the voluntary support OF the
Democratic electors. 1t is my hope
and expectation to visit as many as
possible of the several communities OF
the State during the compaign, at
which time | shall discuss fully. freely
and frankly any of the many issues and
questions which it would be the duty
of United States Senator to consider
and act upon. This will be the extent
of my campaign, and that being done,
shalt have to leave Its success to those
who believe would make an accept
able United States Senator, serving the
people honestly and to the best of my
ability. Upon this ask the support
Of those seeking or expecting no other
or further reward than the conscious
ness that they have discharged public
duty. All will agree that the masses
of the people. as distinguished from
cor ,,orate interests, should have rep
resentation in this, the highest branch
Of the legislative department OF our
government. Very respectfully.

DRAINAGE COMPLETED
WITHIN THREE YEARS

After several important conferences
between the Trustees of the Internal
Improvement Fund and the leading
officers of the land companies owning
tracts in the Everglades region, and
other interested parties a preliminary
agreement ha' been reached which
seems to insure the greater expedition
of the drainage work.
This agreement winch has been exc
cuted by all interested parties will re-
suit in the dismissal of the several
cases pending before the United States
Supreme Court in which the validity of
the Act of 1907 of the Florida Legis!a-
tire. levying a tax of five cents an
acre on the lands within the drainage
area, is attacked. The agreement Is
yet to be ratified by the directors Of
the land companies, but under its terms
the payment of all taxes under the act
will be made by these companies. The
trustees are at once to advertise for
bids for the construction of from $50
miles to 200 miles of drainage canals.
1t is contemplated that these canals
will be finished inside of three years.
This will complete the laterals to be
cut by the land owners they COM

guaranteed. y. s
