Through the
Everglades
Party Made the Trip
Last September.
HOw They Went from Fort
Myers to Miami through
the Sea of Sapgrass.

NO~NN ~ NDNN- ~ NNCCN
This trip was in September 1910, the
following names composing the party:
"A. b. Skinner of New Yo.k, Julian A.
Dimock Of New York, j. w. Knight of
Fort Myers and Frank Brown of I'm
mokalee
Not one in the party had ever been
through the glades, but however, Frank
Brown and myself having had some eS-
perience in them, decided that we could
cross this sea of'sawgrass, which, with
the sky was all that could be seen af-
leaving the Big Cypress.
After leaving Fort Myers the first
stop was made at what is called the
Boat Landing, distance Of seventy-ave
miles, where we remained several days
the guests Of DR.. W. ]. Golden.
This is trading point with about
one hundred Tndians, who bring skins,
suck as alligator, otter, raccoon and
Others, with which, they purchase their
necessities groceries, guns, ammu-
milton, etc. 1t was here that we pur-
chased our supplies for the long jour
ney we was to make and the Two canoes
were well loaded.
We left this place about one O'Clock
in the afternoon and Travelled due east
for three miles, then turned sou.h and
practically held this course the remain
der of the day. The water was rather
low, making our progress slow and we
pitched camp for the night about seven
miles from the Boat Landing. The
following morning was beautiful and
we started about seven o'clock That
day we covered distance of ten miles
stopping quite often to obtain photo
graphic views of the beautiful scenery
which was ever present along our path
We were now making our way TO an
Indian camp which we supposed to be
about one mile distant but to our sur
prise proved four, and by following q
trail through the cypress swamp made
bv the Indians we reached the camp
about eight o'clock the following morn
ing. The camp was composed OF about
twelve Indians and we remained ther;
four days trading, buying such things
as bead work and dancing trinket whlcf
they use for their Green Corn dancing
We also purchased fat pig and hat
an enjoy able time eating pork
After being in this camp the fon
days mentioned we started for the mex
camp which we reached in six hours
Shaving three days IN this camp w
then proceeded on to Tom Tiger Tall
store. This store is on the edge OF tn
Big Cypress, but only finding 2 feV
Indians here we stopped only a shor
while going due east across the glades
having TWO Indians with us and had NJ
trouble In finding the way We trav
eled two days aud reached Jack Tige
and Ingram Charles camp where W
stopped several days. While her
Frank Brown and myself, accompanies
by two small boys went to charli
whites camp which was about I'VE mile
away Here we partook Of heart
ldipner with the red skins Nov, ! wisl

letter, will possibly remember an a.
ticle published in a newspaper abou
oop trip which stated that the Indian
refused TO let us stop at their camp q
ali was 4 grand mistake, for we visite
every camp that we came near.

Rocky Ford Hot Air

In last Wednesdays issue the Rocky
Ford Gazette printed an item stating
that the Crowley county.seat fight
would be pulled of this fall and that
Sugartown, being In the center Of the
county, In a more thickly settled Sec
tion and having q larger population,
would have no trouble In landing the
prize. The facts are that Ordway Is
one mile and Sugar City six miles east
OF the center OF the county, Ordway
has considerably larger population,
the territory short distance east OF
Sugar City is sparsely settled and the
county-seat election does not occur
until November, 1912. With these few
trifling exceptions the Gazette's state.
ments are perfectly correct.

to loved ones who have passed to the

The devotion that Hannibal Clark, a
simple minded but wealthy farmer.
displayed toward his daughter. Mary.
stands out prominently with every
blow welded BY the stone engraver.
When she died at the age OF sixteen.
he decided to perpetuato upon the
family monument not only the dates
showing the birth and death OF each
member. but also some verses Of
poetry appropriate. and also in the
case Of the daughter. reproductions
OF animals and farm scenes. Every.
thing that the girl loved in life was
to be reproduced upon her monument
after death. according to the direc.
tons Of the sorrowing parent.
Her entire existence was spent UP.
on the farm and she knew but little
Of the wide world outside. She was
passionately fond Of the pursuits Of
agriculture and Of domestic life as
she experienced It upon her fathers
farm. She was the apple of her
fathers eye and her untimely death
broke his heart. He soon followed
her to the grave. but not until ho had
left minute instructions concerning a
monument commemorating the traits
and affections Of the daughter and
also some epitaphs concerning his
wife and himself.
The daughters favorite expression
was. Nov. ma, let's go to sleep" and

ward his daughter was extreme. Il

which he has sought to rc;I";nate
her pcculiarities. He doubtless be.
lieved In his simple way TINT this
would please her. Relatives objected
strenuously against the erection OF
such remarkable monument. but the
whim Of the old man could not b.
disregarded and It stands con. picu-
ously In the rural cemetery. an OBJ
ject Of extraordinary interest.
