10y L. IL Aiteis zen ASl. IOT the Sd
lie OF the Lands OF the Eyerglade
Land Sales
Company
AS there are several hundred buy.
ers OF Everglade Land in Old Mexico
and Arizona, it is easier to reach
them through the columns of a news
paper than by letter, and | take this
means of reaching them with few
notes that will be of interest TO all:
Thos. Merely. an Eyerglade buyer,
has returned to the city, and is back
at work again, employed at the Spray.
He left about a year ago. AS all
buyers know. the improvements and
state canals now under way will not
be completed until about year from
new Mr. McFeely and his brother
went down a year ago, and liking the
country, decided TO stay for awhile.
Their land not being ready. they tried
to buy ten acres on the Davie farm;
nothing doing, as none was for sale.
not even at 500 an acre. so they
bought ten acres below Miami, on
the Rim" and started clearing. They
now have in 26O grape fruit trees.
Ed McFeely remained to take care OF
the ranch" while Tom is back to
earn some more money to further i'm
prove He says the trees at five
years old will bear ten boxes of grape
fruit. good for $500 to $500 a box,
so one can readily figure it is we'll
worth while Mr.. Merely is anxious
" awaiting the completion Of the
state canals so they can get on their
Everglade land, but figures that ne
and his brother are putting in the
time to good advantage clearing the
pine lands and putting in grape fruit
trees in the meantime. Both are de
lighted with the country. he says, and
that it is the only place he ever saw
that he wanted 10 call home, and
where he is perfectly contented.
w. w Gidley. who recently re
turned from a trip to the Everglades
made on his own hook, says that
while the agents put it pretty
strong" about the Everglades. never
theless they could have put it strong
er and been within the limits. He is
nightly pleased with his twenty acre
buy in the $50 land. While in Miami
he visited w. II. LABEL, another buyer
who has also invested in four houses
in Mimai and who is equally pleased
and who has made better than wages
since he has been there in the ad
vancing prices of city lots.
Sheldon Ijams. formerly OF Tomb
stone, writes from Lauderdale that
there will be more land than ever in
cultivation on the 1000 acre Davie
tract this winter; in fact, the Panama
canal fellows, (who own around 500
acres), have already started their
seed beds. as well as others.
The Marion dredgs working on the
ROYAL Glade tract. has cut through to
the south line. and doubtless has
started toward the coast by this time.
There is not much left in the $50
and $50 land of the company, and a
few months viii see the entire 10000
acres closed out.
Deerng. the pillow manufacturer,
and Flanders. of automobile fame,
are among those wko are spending
big sums in the erection and ins-
proyement Of winter homes in Mi
ami.
One of the notable additions to
the Everglade section is none other
than William ]. Bryan and family.
Me- Bryan has leased a place at Mi
ami for the winter in order to be on
the ground and supeTintend the cree
ton of a house en- property situated
in a beautiful location known as the
punch bowl" on Biseayne Bay. Guess
nobody will accuse Mr.. Bryan Of not
having travelled around enough to
know a good place to live when he
sees it. He is expected in Miami in
November
From those returning from Miami
il is learned that there is scarcely
a block in the city on which there
is not a new building being erected or
improvements being made on propo-
erty.
A bridge a few miles long is under
construction that VIII connect Miami
with the reefs that form Bay Bis
cayne Ocean tracts are being laid
out on the reef, and a company Is
planning the opening of big amuse-
ment feature as an addition to the
activities of the place.
For several months now, according
to returning buyers, there viii not be
