Practical demonstration H the
new order of things in the Florida
land colonization business is being
made by the Florida-L Lakeland
Homes Company. which has entered
into Il contract with II. NJ. Hughes,
OF Barlow. calling for fifteen miles
of thirty-foot roadway through its
Lakeland -Auburndalc tract
Mr.. Hughes has had his teams.
machinery and gangs Of men at work
on the company's land northeast and
east of Lake Parker for several days
and has already cleared the right of
way through the company's land for
five miles.
1t is the purpose Of the Florida
Lakeland Homes company to first
open up trunk line" or main
stem road from the southwestern
corner of the Observation-Disclosures
Tract straight north to Section 81,
in the vicinity of Thomasville, from
which the road will bear in gem
orally easterly direction to Lehman
Lodge, the company's demonstration
farm in the exact center Of the
tract.
The trunk line road will con-
tinue in an easterly direction to the
big grove the companys directors
are putting In, from which it will
turn south. paralleling the highway
which skirts the western side of
Lakes Juliana. Arietta and Ariana

Gapway between Lakes Juliana and
Arietta, where the club house of the
lnterlachcn Country Club of Flor
ida is to be built. and other feed
ers' will be- opened as soon as prac-
ticable.
Although the first of the road
building operations directed by Mr..
Hughes will consist in opening the
way only. this will be followed in
due time by ditching and grading
and before the company gets through
with its enterprise it will have fif-
teen miles of clay roads which will
represent an investment of some
$50. 900 90. II Is possible that the
board of county commissioners will
lend its aid in this improvement and
the company will gladly accept It.

company is proceeding on its own
resources.

Curator Fis6 Digs Up Inter-
eSfing Early: History Of
Metz EnglQnd

Dickinson Press: Curator H. c..
Fish returned Sunday afternoon from
his trip southwest. He became very
much interested in the early settlers
of New England and at the Press Of
fee in Dickinson carefully examined
the bound volume Of the Rainy Buttes
Sentinel, published from June II, 1887,
to May, 80, 1900. 1t is the only CON-
plete file, so far as known, OF the his
toric colony planted by New England
ers on the picturesque banks of the
Cannon Ball river, now the bustling
little city Of New England.
The record shows that Capt. H. N.
Bruce, NJ. l.. Ayers, Fred H. Spaulding
and H. j. Sutton were piloted by Capt.
j. G. Saunders on the 9th of April,
1887, to the Cannon Ball valley. Capt
Saunders was county surveyor for
Stark and had been engaged by the
New Englanders to take them to the
promised land in Hettinger and sur
vey townsite. The party found con-
siderable snow on the ground, par
ticularly as they neared the Cannon
Ball late in the evening after hard
days drive. The George Muzzy dug
out, four miles west of the present
site of New England, was where the
advance guard secured place to roll
into their blankets the first night.
MuzZy was an old buffalo hunter
and, with one exception, was the only
human being living in all Hettinger
county. He laughed at the new COM
ers and called them "tenderfeet."
On April 2Sth the party proceeded
to survey New England city. Tents
were pitched and company houses
erected. The New England Colony
association had the following direct
ors: John B. Mead of Randolph, VT;
Capt. H. N. Bruce Of Pomfret, VT;
David L. Waldron of Rhode Island;
Nelson Gay of Bethel, w.; and Col.
l.. A. Dodge of Boston. The organiza.
ton had option on large tracts OF
Hettinger county land, then listed at
so cents to 81 90 per acre, and planned
to help many New England families
to get homes.

providing for the constitutional am
endment changing the method of Sc
lecting United States senators. There
being no prospect of a report this
week from the finance committee on
the reciprocity bill, popular election
measure may be called up for discus.
sion. The senate, therefore, may put
in its first full week of the extraor-
binary session, instead Of adjourning
from Monday to Thursday and from
Thursday to Monday, as has been (?)
Thursday to Monday, as has been the
rule during this session.
The general program in the house
contemplates for the week considera-
ton Of statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico; passage of special reso-
lutions providing for various addition
al departmental Investigations, and
Investigations into the United States
Steel corporation, sugar refineries and
the American Wooden company.
Contrary to persistent reports, it is
known that no bill has been prepared
by the ways and means committee
looking to a revision of the wool
schedule. At the same time it is i'm
probable that efforts to persuade the
democratic members of the ways and
means committee to postpone the
wooden bill until next winter will be
successful. Representative Under
wood, the chairman of the ways and
means committee, summed up the
wool situation yesterday when he
said:
after the house passed the free
list bill, the ways and means COM
mittee began Immediately the consid-
Grafton of the wool schedule. 1t is
true that there are differences in the
party regarding wool, but l feel as
sured that We will be able to draft
bill acceptable to the party as whole
and that it will be ready within
few weeks"
A proposed investigation of the Am.
erican Wooden company as trust,
provided for in resolution introduced
by Representative Francis of Ohio, a
democrat, probably will be authorized.
Hearing ON the Francis resolution by
the committee on rules may be held
late in the week.

was used as school house. After
the Sitting Bull Indian scare, the mag
azine writer's conceived the idea OF
referring to. it as fort. The Union
Congregational church was build
during the winter of 1888, at a cost
of about $4,000, much of the money
being donated by Boston friends. In
later years, after the colonists had
left, it was remodeled for store and
finally burned. The Herald office is
about all that is left of the colony
building now.

THE WEEK In CONGRESS.

Congress will be busy this week
with diversity of subjects. Tariff
tinkering will have change of scene,
the senate committee on finance TAX
ing up the Canadian reciprocity bill
with hearings expected to continue
throughout the week. After the farm
ers' free list bill was passed yester-
day, tariff debates in the house rest
ed from their prolonged efforts while
members from the ways and means
committee, BEND closed doors, pre-.
pared for the next assault on the
Payne-Aldrich bill. Their center of
attack is to be the wool schedule.
1t will be several weeks, in all prob
ability, before the committee is ready
to report.
Among the important matters on
the senate program for the week are
the election of president pro tenn
pore to succeed Senator Frye, who re-.
signed that office; the proposed re-
Investigation of Senator Lorimers
right to retain his seat; and the reso-
luton providing for popular election
Of senators, passed by the house and
favorably reported last week by the
senate committee on judiciary.
, Some Of the progressive senators,
at caucus to be held today, are
expected to protest agail.st the selec-
ton of Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire as Mr.. Frye's successor.
Senator Clapp of Minnesota is the
candidate Of the progressives in op-
position to the choice of the stand
patters. The only chance of defeat.
ing Mr.. Gallinger, it is said, would be
through an entire alliance between
progressive republicans and demo
Gratis, and such a union appears i'm
probable.
Activity in the proposed reinvesti.
cation of Mr.. Lorimer's rights to his
seat will center in the effort of Mr..

FLY TIME-SWAi TIME.

Flies are the most dangerous in.
sects we have. They are much more
dangerous than bees or hornets; these
may sting you and the sting is pain
full, but you soon get over the pain.
Flies do much more harm than this.
They walk over filthy places like sew.
ers and garbarge cans, and after eat.
ing the filthy food which they find
there, they come into your house and
walk on the food you eat, carrying on
their feet the tiny germs which live
in filth just as you live in a house.
These germs are not only filthy and
disgusting, but many of them cause
such diseases as typhoid fever chol-
era infantum and summer complaint.
When the flies bring them from some
dirty place to your food or leave some
of them when they crawl on your face
or hands, you may swallow these
germs without knowing it and be
taken ill with one of these diseases.
So the fly that seems so harmless may
do you much more harm than a bee
or a hornet.
You should place screens at your
doors and windows during the warm
weather to keep the flies out Of the
house. II you cannot screen all the
rooms, you should screen those in
which food Is kept; and If anyone is
sick in the house, flies should be kept
from the sick.room, so that they may
not carry germs from the sick person
to the rest of the family.
Children may help to keep flies from
swarming in and around houses, and
from carrying germs of sickness from
one person to another. In the first
place, they should not buy candy,
fruit or other food which is left in
front of stores or anywhere else where
flies may feed and walk on it. Flies
lay their eggs chiefly in stable man.
ure, and If this is left without screens
or other covers to keep the flies away
great numbers will be Matched in ev-
cry stable. If you know of stores
where food is not covered from flies,
or of stables that have swarms of
them around, write to the board Of
health about them, and the board will
make the storekeepers or stablemen
obey its rules. But before you report
other people for being careless and
dirty and so making it possible for
flies to become a nuisance, be sure
that your own house is clean, and
that no garbage cans or boxes are left
uncovered to attract flies.
If you and all the people you know
will follow this advice, there will not
be nearly so many flies to plague you
in hot weather, and there will not be
nearly so much sickness and death,
especially among children, as now.
