PORT ST. JOE
History is again repeating itself.

History is again repeating itself.
Port st. Joe, on the gulf coast, IS
again coming to the front. 1t is said
by many that the first railroad in
Florida had its starting point at st.
Joe, but in his history of Florida Mr.
Fairbanks makes no mention of it, but
he does say this:
"A movement toward the admission
of Florida into the Union had origi-
mated in 1888, and convention was
held at st. Joseph's, on the 3rd day OF
December of that year for forming a
constitution, which concluded its Ia
bors on the 18th of January, 1899.
The convention was presided over by
the Hon. Raymond Reid, and among
its members were Walker Anderson
Leigh Read, William Marvin, Thomas
Baltzell, e. G. Cabell, George I. Ward,
James d. Westcott, David (Levy) Yn-
lee, Leslie A. Thompson, and other
gentlemen of distinction"
ct was" says the able historian,
the ablest body of men ever assem-
bled in Florida"
st. Joe is again in the forefront. It
has recently been approached by a
railroad and a hotel, containing forty
rooms, is in process of construction.
and efforts will be made to make for
it a name as a port of entry. 1t is
sues a statement that other ports
must sit up and take notice.
Mr.. J. j. Williams, of the Williams
Fish Company, of Homosassa, was in
lour office Monday night. He said that
he had just returned from an inspec-
ton of the new town and was enthu-
siastic in its praise.
Mr.. Williams says that st. Joe has
the best land-locked harbor anywhere
on the Florida coast, with a depth of
Itwenty-four feet of water at low tide,
without ever having made the &C
quaintance of a government dredge,
and that with the expenditure of a few
thousand dollars depth of thirty feet
lis easily obtainable.

will erect necessary buildings for the
establishment of fish industry. He
says that the fishing grounds are ideal
and that the j. J. Williams Fish Com
pany of st. Joe will be ready for bus
mess in very little while. He will
not, however, give up his fish bust
ness at Homosassa, but it will be pros
ecuted with greater vigor than ever
The ]. ]. Williams Fish Company of
st. Joe will be under the direction of
his brother, who is at present residing
at Savannah.
Keep your eye on st. Joe. Those ear
lier Floridians who held at st. Joe the
first constitutional convention ever
held in Florida were brainy men, and
knew something of its possibilities.

A CASE OF CONTROL
LAURA KEMP.

In the financial statement OF the
Equitable Life Assurance Society for
1910 appears this item:
Dividends to stockholders, $1,000.
This is the maxim annual dividend
that stockholders can receive under
the society's charter"
The total capital stock of the Equi-
table is 100000. For a bare major
ity of this stock, earning little more
than $500 year, Thomas F. Ryan
paid James Hazen Hyde $2,500,000,
twenty-five times its face value; and
j. P. Morgan later bought it from
Ryan at cost. including interest. Sim
ply as an investment for the income,
the Morgan shares are worth perhaps
$75,000 The money Mr.. Morgan act
ually paid for them would earn $780,
900 year, even at the low rate of 4
per cent. less than the present rate
on New York city bonds. What Mr..
Morgan really paid that vast purchase
price for was not an investment, but
the control of the company.
What colossal power for one man
to WELD is that control! Assets
of $494, IT'S, 923-close to half billion
dollars surplus of $S5,00O,0O0 out
standing loans to policy-holders and
on mortgage of $164,OOO,OOO, annual
disbursements of more than $4,000.
900, insurance in force to the almost
uncomfortable total of $1.347, 1862!
Is it any wonder that he promised

table continues to strike snags of de
lay ?--World.

Morton F. Plant and wife were in
Tampa yesterday. guests of the Tam
pa Bay land were shown around the
city very thoroughly by Peter O.
knight. Mr.. Plant was astounded at
the progress and growth made by the
city since his last visit four or five
years ago, and he repeatedly express
ed the wish that his father could be
here and see what had been accom-
plished by the city in whose founding
and promotion he had so large a
share and which has so completely
indicated his foresight and judg-
ment. Mrs. Plant, who had not seen
the city in thirteen years, was graft
fed and surprised at the remarkable
developments. Both said they thought
the big hotel was fully equal in ap-
pearance and conduct to the olden
days and were fully satisfied with the
existing conditions regarding it.

has been puzzled by something sing
ing like canary bird in her room at

Thursday night was caught in trap
and was singing away cheerfully
when Mr. and Mrs. White awoke

and at times thrills just as canary
does. Mr.. White had the Johnson

The entire crew of thirty men
aboard the ship were frozen to death.
