OF its kind III the world. The en-
tire line 10 Key West extends a
distance OF lot miles. nearly half

in this stretch.
Consummation ef il marks the
realization OF dream Of Henry NJ
Flagler Standard Oil magnate, and
one OF the foremost figures in the
financial life OF the nation. He has
had the idea constantly in mind
ever since the Spanish-American wa
excitement. when he conceived the
proposition Il making traffic com,
municatiOn between the United
States and Cuba easier and more
practical The project will shorten
the time from Florida mainland to
Cuba by almost 20 hours.
The actual work was begun IN
1905. 1t was then that the blue
prints called for BY Mr.. Flagler
were submitted 10 him by engineers.
The president OF the read glanced az
them. and turning to J. r. Parrot,
vice-president and general manager
OF his railway. and his right hand
man in all his Florida undertake
lngs, said:
All | want TO know is whether
the road can be built.
Yes. 1t can, replied Mr.. Parott.
Mr.. Flagler directed.
The engineers estimates were
that the feat would cost So 900, 600.
1t has cost much more than that,
and the officials of the read sew
eral times We're obliged TO nego-
tate loans Of millions in order to
insure its completion.
Since work was begun in 1905,
the dirt has been flying ceaselessly
Immense pile drivers have been
sinking foundations, huge dredges
have been sucking up sand from
the bottom of the sea TO construct
roadbed, and an army of between
1000 and 1000 men has been rush
ing from Miami out over the waves
and tiny islands toward Key West.

of the work is the precautions
taken to safeguard the exposed

ducts are built of reinforced con-

and some ON solid rock. 1t was
found after careful survey that the
maximum height of waves through
out these waters is % feet. Accord
