CHICAGO GLfE CLUB IS
NEXT LYCEUM NUMBER

The Chicago Glee Club, the finest en-
tertainers that visit Fort Pierce, the
fifth and last of the Alkahest Lyceum
attractions secured by the Improvement
club, will appear for its thirl annual
visit here in the Improvement club hall,
next Wednesday evening, March 22nd.
The Chicago Glee Club stands among
the best male quartets of the country.
The club may be classed with the older
organizations as it has been constantly
before the public since February, 1899.
Few changes in membership, voices
perfectly adapted to the parts assumed,
and an artistic musical temperament
have produced very high degree of ex-
cellence. The repertoire of the club
comprises the best of all types of part
song music. and its programs of male
quartets, trombone quarteta, character
izations, vocal and horn solos, presents
such variety and merit as to please
every one.
Mr.. Dixon has been giving imperson-
atoms with the club for several seasons.
He presents all of his characters in
makeup, taken from life; wholesome,
refreshing, real, never Overdrawn or
exaggerated. His "Hooser," an orig
inal sketch, illustrated with poems by
James Wh,tcomb Riley, and esquire
Hawkins Story" are conceded to be
among the very best bits of character
ization on the platform.

AUCTION SALE
OF CITY LOTS
Home Investment Company In
augurate Big Sale Next Week
FORT PIERCE HEIGHTS
A Delightful New Suburb on Orange
Avenue to Go Under The Hammer
to the Highest Bidder

Fort Pierce is to have an auction sale
OF city lots next Week!!!
Forty acres of desirable land on
Orange avenue, which is destined to
become the principal residence street
of the city, has been purchased by the
Home Investment Company, and has
been cleared. plated and laid off into
lots, and will be auctioned to the high
est bidder at sale to commence next
Wednesday. This company takes the
first and twelfth pages of this issue to
tell of this remarkable sale.
This will be the fifth land proposition
that this company has sold under SIM
liar conditions, and in none of the others
have the property been located on a
principal street of rapidly growing
town, nor one in which land values
will more rapidly increase. 1t is indeed
an exceptional opportunity for investors
and for those who desire to erect homes
in Fort Pierce.
In this new sub. division. which con-
ssts of l76 lots, all lots facing Orange
avenue are 56xl40 feet. On First,
Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth streets,
lying north of Orange avenue, the lots
are 5Oxl95. with 10 foot alleys. On
Georgia avenue, the lots are S0X20S,
reaching back to the canal. Orange,
Florida and Georgia avenues run east
and west; all streets north and south.
Fort Pierce is fortunate in attracting
the attention of A. M. Kitchen, the
leading spirit in the Home Investment
Company, who is not only one of the
most public spirited men, but is enter
prising and successful in everything
that he undertakes. He has recently
disposed of ST., 200 in lots in Miami and
Fort Lauderjale. and has started a
building boom in the additions which
he promoted Lancaster e. Mills, the
celebrated auctioneers of Boston, will
conduct the sale.
The company will give away during
the coming week $1,000 in presents to
those who attend the land sale. This
will be done by presenting to everyone
present a numberedticket, duplicates be-
ing held by the auctioneer. At suitable
times during the sale each day, draw
ing will take place, and the person
present holding the ticket drawn will
be given present. All the presents
are useful and valuable.
The Home Investment Company are
in direct touch with st. Augustine, and
knows the future of Fort Pierce better
than our own people, and it was IN this
knowledge that they purchased property
in Fort Pierce. Land values will jump
here in short time, and our citizens
who put money in town lots or other
real estate will be wise.
This is an exceptional opportunity
for our young men. The terms of sale
are so low that anyone can afford to
buy a lot, and by the time pay ment is
made the lots will double in value.

GREAT PANAMA CANAL
COMPLETED IN 2 YEARS

''There will be no great amount of
grumbling if the entire cost of the
Panama canal is kept within $3.50, 600, :

''That is the amount which Col Goethals
says the canal win cost. And in that
estimate is included coaling stations at
both terminals and machine shops at

would be near $500, 600 600 but if this
estimate of Col. GOethals is approXi-

thinking it is, since his estimate in
most matters pertaining to the canal
have been proven to be correct, it will
be far i-side of that amount.

FLORIDA WILL ABOLISH
RACETRACK GAMBLING

Under an act now on the statute
books of Florida, passed by the legisla.
ture Of 1909 horse racing. with the
betting feature, becomes illegal in this
State after May LIST next. On the ur.
gents appeals of those who had invest
ed their money in expensive plants at
Jacksonville and Tampa, the last legis-
lature, in passing this act, gave an ex-
tension of two years, in which the pro-
moters and investors in the sport were
to make every effort to get their money
back before the law went into effect.
This two years of grace is about
to expire. During this period, race
meetings have been held at Jackson
vile, Tampa and Pensacola. Whether
or not those interested in the plants
have recovered the amount of their in
vestment, the law says that they must
"quit the game" on May LIST.
The only hope of racing promoters in
this State is that the legislature will
take further action and grant another
extension of time. This, under exist.
ing circumstances and considering the
trend of public sentiment, seems en-
tirely improbable, without the corrup-
ton of the legislature. The present
outlook is that the law will go into effect
as it stands and the race track, with its
undesirable gambling feature, and other
forms of depravity, will cease to be an
institution of shame in Florida, in lit
tie more than a month from today.
Efforts to create sentiment in favor
of repeating the racing law and to per-
nit the continuation of the disgrace un-
der the present conditions are being
made, but they are hopeless, if one may
Judge from the expressions made by
members of the next Legislature and the
overwhelming sentiment, even in those
cities where meeting have been and are
now being held. Jacksonville, which
has had every facility for carrying on a
high class meeting and which has had
the advantage of the best horses and
best horsemen in the country, has, as a
community, found it losing game
and a great detrment to the city. Con-
business men of that city bear
testimony to the fact that the effect OF
a race meeting upon general business
conditions is destructive, disturbing and
costly. The same is true in every city
in which the race track has operated.

now as when they had heavy growth
of timber on them. The cutting off of
the timber has not hurt the land in the
slightest. The fact thet the timber
has been removed makes it easier for
the settler to clear the land.
Now, a great many people appear to
think that the difference between the
price paid by the land company for the
wild land in large tract and the selling
price to the settlers is all profit. Many
figure it that if tract of land is bought

very few charges of graft. Indeed, il
is doubtful if there has been any graft
worth noticing. That is remarkable in
a work of such magnitude. If there
had been or was now graft, it is quite
certain it would attract attention and
cause comment. A year or two ago
there was talk of graft, but there be-
ing so little to support it, soon died out.
Zone OF the most remarkable things
in connection with the great work is
the fact that the canal zone has been
practically freed from all fevers.
When the purchase was made from
France it was freely predicted
that the canal would never be built be-
cause yellow and maiarial fever would
kill off the laborers faster than they
could be obtained, but the zone has
been made as healthy as almost any
part of this country. And what was
done in the canal zone in the way of
sanitation has had remarkable inhu-
ence in this country. 1t has given an
impetus to sanitary work in our towns
and cities, and, as result, the death
rate in them is much lower.
"Col Goethals was before the House
Committee on Commerce for the pur-
pose of urging that the canal tolls be
fixed at as early day as possible. He
said that the canal would be ready for
business by September, 1913, and that
ship owners wanted to know at least
eighteen months before the canal was
opened what the tolls would be. 1t is
expected that the bill fixing the tolls
will be pushed through Congress as
fast as possible. 1t is hard to realize
that in little more than two years,
ships will be passing through canal"

HOMES IN FLORIDA
ARE EASY TO MAKE

"The ease with which a new home
can be made in Florida is almost i'm
possible of belief, even when related in
the plainest and most positive language,
to the people who have been crOwding
and developing the West during the
past thirty years, said gentleman in
talking to one of the numerous "home-
seekers" who lately arrived here seek.
ing location.
"Of course, large portion of the
land in the new colonies must be cleared
before crops can be cultivated, unless
one buys an improved place, but in a
majority of instances the timber which
must be removed furnishes material for
houses, fences, sheds fuel and other es-
sentials.
"The settler will find throughout the
year he can plant for his use some crop
that will mature and be ready for his
table within ninety days. He will need
but few and simple implements for cul-
tivation of his lands. He can build a
house-if need be-and be far more
comfortably fixed than a man who goes
West to live. In five years resolute
man should have won sufficient COM
petence for the balance of his life. "
Every word in this is correct, Florida
possesses innumerabe advantages over
the West for the homeseeker. 1t would
take many columns of a newspaper to
begin to point out all of these advant-
ages. Those who have tried both Sec
tions are the ones that know best.
Talk to any man who has lived in the
West for five years, and who has then
come to Florida to live; you could not,
as rule, pay that man to return to the
West.
But the man who thinks that he can
come to Florida and make living with
out working in sadly mistaken. There
is no room in Florida for that class of
individuals. Such men never make a
success anywhere. Neither will the
man succeed in Florida who comes here
thinking that he knows it all. The man
who is not willing to learn how to cult
vate the soil in Florida is going to have
hard time of it until he comes around.
Then he will succeed
