Tucson, Arizona, July Is, 1911.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
: After a tedious and very long trip
I have at last arrived at my desti-
nation. / got in about 6 p. NJ, and
soon had all my camping outfit in
wagon and the man carried me about
two and a half miles out from Tue
son right on a broad plain-no trees
or anything-just bare-and after
arriving | commenced fixing my camp
and Strengthening things up. | am not
alone as there are four more fellows
camping near me which makes it
more pleasant for all.
Am living in a tent and sleep out
side at night and stay out all can in
the day when there is any shade
around. The climate is grand and
even when it's hot in the day time
the winds blow through the tent.
It's very hot at times but there's
plenty of air and breeze. l am doing
my own cooking ETC., and am get
ting on all right.
There's no need Of going into town
as the -milkman-baker
butcher and in fact everything
almost a man wants is brought right
to the tent.
Every man here. says he is improy-
ing and they look it too One man
has gotten Well lately and has gone
to work. The man that brings the
meat says that he had tuberculosis
and now he is we'll and hearty and
drives a wagon.
So the Arizona cure seems to be
the one to take. I hope to stay here
till I get entirely cured. It's a hard
fight but others have won and I feel
very hopeful and encouraged.
Hoping that the editor is we'll and
with kindest regards to the good old

One hundred and fifty laborers in

to work grading the right of way for
the Ocala Northern from Palatka

The Ocala Northern is now run
ming daily trains from Ocala to Fort
Mccoy, and the track is laid to
Orange Springs on the Ocklawaha
river.
"The road will be completed and
ready to run trains into Palatka in
about two MONTHS said Mr.. Herndon
to the News Wednesday morning.
The track is now within Is miles of
Palatka and the grading is completed
to within II miles of here. We start
to work from this end this morning
and will remain on the job to the
job to the finnish. We have all our
ties ready
The Ocala Northern Railroad, it
will be remembered, has secured the

streets bordering the north end of the
city and terminal facilities on the riv-

AS soon as the road is completed it's
trains will run to the old depot of the
G. S. & F. Ry at the end of the north

ONE MANS WORK

In discussing Miamis celebration OF
the completion of her fifteenth year
the Herald says of the man who made
possible this city of wonderful
growth:
Mr.. Flagler made all this by the ex-
penditure of enormous amounts of
money upon which he could never
reasonably expect to realize financ-
ial returns. He is a constructor. a
developer, an empire builder, not for
himself, but for others. While fol-
lowing out the bent of his mind in
investing his millions, his satisfac-
ton and his recOmpense come to him
in the feeling that he has made life
easier for others, countless others,
and that he has made it possible for
others to live and prosper in a sec
ton, that, but for him, would not
have been opened to civilization for
years OF come.
If Mr.. Flagler had not come to
Florida he might have lived to see
himself the richest man on earth
His associates who did not come null
tiplied their millions as he might have
multiplied his had he cared to do so.
That he had no such ambition was to
his credit and to Florida's advantage.
He brought his fortune ready made to
this state and if he has added any
thing to it since coming here it is
not one-tenth as much as he might
have added if he had desired to amass
greater wealth
Coming to Florida with ample
means for following his inclinations,
Mr.. Flagler invested his money as no
one else would have thought of in
vesting it. Unostentatiously he has
given much but he has spent many
times more in ways that furnished
and opportunities to men
and helped them to help themselves.
Mr.. Flaglers hotel system has been
a great benefit to the state Five hun
dred miles of railroad built any
where would have added to the pros
perity of any state but built where
he built it, it opened up for settle
ment an uninhabited wilderness and
changed it to the garden spot of the
world
No one can trace to the desire to
make money any investment that Mr..
Flagler has made in this state. We
believe that the East Coast railroad
VIII some day prove as heavy divi-
dend payer as any road on earth, but
we base this belief on development
that we expect in Central and South
America and that will not come until
the large majority of men who have
passed middle life shall have passed
away.
Mr.. Flagler built into the uninhabit-
ca wilderness. What man looking for
dividends would have done it? He is
building a road over one hundred
miles OF ocean, thing that no man
on earth ever thought of doing before.
He has enjoyed the conception and
execution of his plans not only willing
but DESTROYS that others should de-
rive the profits from them. His life
has been one of the most intelligent
philanthropy and we are glad that
the day has come when Floridians,
with scarcely an exception, under
stand his character and warmly ap-
preciate what he has done for the
state and it's people.-Times-U Union.

be scarcely worth while, and the

these sorrows are largely of our own

this world. She knew that her loved
