RAILROADS BUILDING IN FLOR.
IDA

The News is pleased to see that the
number and mileage of railroads are
both on the increase.
By January il is confidently expect
ed that the extension of the Florida
East Coast will be completed to Key
West. The completion of this great
over-the-sea road will mark the sue
cessful termination of one OF the
greatest engineering schemes of the
century. No wonder the Island City
will celebrate.
The Ocala & Silver Springs railroad
will soon reach Palatka. Word has
been given out that il will be extend
ed to Jacksonville.
The Drew Brothers will soon have
their railroad, the Jacksonville, Fer
nandina & Live Oak railroad, ready
for business.
Nearer TO US things are also NOV
ing. The Seaboard is being extended
south from Sarasota TO Venice. Many
believe that the same will be brought
to Placida, and probably go across to
Boca Grande.
The A. c. L. will have its Haines
City branch running into Avon Park
at an early day. It is headed south
and settlers are pouring into all the
hill country among the -akes Of east
DeSoto.
And the great system of railroad
from Tampa TO the lower east coast
has secured right of way and water
terminals at Tampa Very soon it is
safe to say that the best route will be
considered. after several surveys.
The Charlotte Harbor & Northern
has finished into Mulberry-from
which the Seaboard is being extended
into Barlow.
All this indicates confidence. Let
the people show a friendly attitude to
the railroads. Let the railroads re-
spect the rights of the people.

One Of the most remarkable situa-

case of the young American, William
Morgan Shuster, who, as treasurer
general of the Persian empire, has
been besting the keenest diplomats OF
Europe for the past six months. This
young man is only thirty-four years
old and he started life as a ste
~nographer.
This youngster, who has one OF the
biggest contracts in the world on his
hands, was born in Washington, ID. G.,
In 1877. His parents live there still.
After his graduation from Columbia,
Shuster obtained a position as a ste
~nographer in the war department at
Washington. When the Spanish var
broke out he was made assistant sec

charge of the evacuation Of Cuba. He
was then only twenty-one. Shuster
remained in the Cuban customs serv-
