Every town along the East Coast in

arms the proposition to establish
steamer line between Jacksonville and

the people to pull for the new trans
portation line. There is little question
that the Swan will receive liberal sup
port from the business men and resi-

present wave of popular sentiment is
maintained additional steamers will be
