E't~ Editor cooksey is expected to al
rive here today to take immediate
charge of the business of the new pa
per. He comes to the new publishing
company with high recommendations.
His services were secured after North

most capable Of handling their propo-
sition.
There are already more than 100
stockholders in the new enterprise
and it is said that stock is selling rap
idly among the socialists of the state.
When the Devils Lake paper is rum
ming full blast, an effort will be made
! to establish other socialist weeklies at

st. Lucie Gardens
VIII Issue Booklet

Mr.. L. q Cox, Of Walton, was in
the city Tuesday transacting business
matters connected with the ST, Lucle
Gardens, which is that large tract Of
land lying. west of the pineapple ridge
southwest Of Fort Pierce. Mr.. Cox is
local manager for the Coldren Ian J
Company, who are now sales agents for
this tract, they having assumed the
contracts OF the Albert Fennig Co.
Mr.. Cox states that within a short
time new prospectus will be issued
giving minute description Of tle prop
erty and conveying to the prospective
purchaser general idea Of the true
conditions in this section. He also
states that the original plan Of selling
ten acre gardens has been eliminated
by his company and that hereafter the
land will be sold only in forty acre
farms, which, he insists, will insure a
better class of settlers and bring more
who are able to develop the property
and help build up the county.
Speaking Of St. Lucie county. Mr. Cox
said that his company had handled
much Florida land, but that all the
colonization propositions in this county
we're, in his opinion, among the best TO
be found.
The ST.. Lucie Gardens tract consists
Of about 5000 acres, lying between the
famous pineapple ridge and the ST..
Lucie river, two seCtsons Of their land
bordering on that pretty stream.
Mr.. Cox will be a frequent visitor 70
Fort Pierce, and no doubtwill become
more or less intimately acquainted with
our business men.

common rhmor that he hasthe contract

tending from Palmetto to Orange ave-

supplementary, after the erection Of

connection, also, comes the discoEcert

Seiners ReIeasedby
Circuit Judge Bethel

AS result of the hearing before
judge Bethel last Friday at West Palm
Beach in the fish cases fromtbis county
an order was granted for the relea o
OF the Eve defendants and they have
been discharged, These cases. mention
of which was made in The News last
week, we're up before County Judge r.
L. Helnmings, and the defendants, who
we're charged with violating the sein-
ing law, we're convicted 10 his court.
Habeas corpus proceedings were ipme.
diately instituted by the attorneys for
the defense and the hearing was held
before Judge Bethel in the absence of
Judge Perkins, with the result as above
stated. The judge did not state his
reasons for granting the release order
but intimated that the affidavit was de-
fectiye, and therefore the main point
at issue, viz the validity Of the law
has not been decided. This action,
however, will not deter the sheriff OF
St. Lucle county and other officials
from enforcing the provisions OF the
law, despite some claims that are made.
In the next case the affidavit will be
drawn differently and the case pushed
to final decision Of the constitution
ality of the Hardee seining law.

Initiating Us.

That the Civic Improvement So
ciety will make efforts to beautify
the river front is evident by the en-
thusiasm shown at a meeting held
last night in the parlors Of the King
don Hotel.
The subject of improving and beau
tifying the river front took up the
whole time Of the meeting. Several
splendid speeches were made on the
subject. and the women present
showed that they had studied the
project in its every phase.
The concensus of opinion of all
those present was that the river
front was the most important thing
that the society had TO do and that
all their efforts and energy should
be devoted to its accomplishment

MARS AND EARTH.
Storms Rage on BOth---Planet
Nearest to Earth.

Mars is forty-seven million miles
close to the earth today. This means
that the earth and Mars are closer
together during the present twenty =
four hours than they will be again
for a year.
The planet is so close that astrono
mers all over the world have during
the past few weeks been watching
with interest for some new NANTES =
tatiol of life on it. Nothing new
has been found with the exception
that lately an immense atmospheric
disturbance has been seen. the dis
turbance covering an area as large
as North America.
Astronomers in Europe say that
this unusual condition is caused from
a terrific storm which has swept the
planet.

NORTH BRIDGE
At Last in Good Condition And
Freshly Painted.

For the first time since its erection
four years ago. the iron bridge on
North Main street is pronounced
in good condition and is altogether
an attractive bridge. When it was
first erected the concrete floor was
too heavy and sagged the beams.
The Council required this floor to be
taken out and lighter one, rein
forced, to be put in. The second
floor cracked in some spots when
tested and the weak places were
covered with plank and remained
that way for more than two years.
Last month a final settlement was
made with the bridge company and
the bridge was accepted, The city
a. once repaired the four or five
oies in the floor and the blanks put
over the new concrete have been
taken off and the floor is in good
condition. The iron work has also
been given new coat of chocolate
colored paint and the bridge looks
entirely new.
